A glimmer of surprise flashed through MO Xiuchen’s eyes as he knitted his brows and turned to MO Zixuan, ‘When did he say that?”

Meanwhile, Wen Ran was holding a phone dialing a call, waiting for the response. She looked at them perplexedly. MO Zixuan moistened his lips before answering, “Just now, while you two were being interviewed by the journalists.”

“Ranran, once you’re done with the call, wait for me in the office. I’ll be right back.”

MO Xiuchen pondered for a moment, instructed Wen Ran, and lifted his foot to leave. MO Zixuan glanced at Wen Ran and followed MO Xiuchen’s lead.

Earlier, after concluding the board meeting and announcing that all future group matters would be handled by MO Xiuchen, and he himself would retire completely, MO Jingteng was so tired that a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead. The subsequent press conference was attended by MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran.

“Did he mention where he’s going on his trip?”

MO Xiuchen’s voice held such indifference that it was impossible to decipher any emotions from it. Even though MO Jingteng had handed the group over to him, he would not forgive MO Jingteng for wanting to hurt Wen Ran back then.

His question was whether MO Jingteng had mentioned where he was going on vacation, not with whom he was going.

The fact that MO Zixuan hurried to find him hinted that MO Jingteng definitely wouldn’t be taking Xiao Wenqing on his trip. Within the short two minutes before reaching the lounge, various speculations had already flashed through MO Xiuchen’s mind.

The biggest mystery was that the old man had been really strange lately.

Ignoring the fact that he had been rushing to hand over the company to him, MO Jingteng’s attitude towards Xiao Wenqing puzzled him. Given MO Jingteng’s infatuation with Xiao Wenqing, even if he didn’t consult her opinion on important corporate issues, he would certainly discuss mundane matters with her.

He wouldn’t abandon her on a vacation either.

The name ‘Wu Tianyi’ suddenly flashed in his mind, a sharp light flickered deep within his eyes. Could it be that there were some unspeakable matters between Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi?

And, had MO Jingteng found out about it by any chance?

“Xiuchen, why are you standing here?”

Lost in his thoughts, MO Xiuchen arrived outside the lounge and forgot to knock on the door. Just then, MO Jingteng came out and saw him, a look of surprise crossed his face.

Standing behind him was Xiao Wenqing, standing before a sofa with a slightly pale face. It was unclear what they had been discussing just now.

MO Xiuchen collected his thoughts. His face regained its usual cold indifference as he said in a frosty tone, “Someone came to find me saying that despite your ill health, you still want to go on vacation. Is that true?”

MO Zixuan, standing behind him, furrowed his brows — he wasn’t pleased that MO Xiuchen had referred to him as ‘someone’. However, as MO Jingteng was present, he didn’t speak up.

In the lounge, Xiao Wenqing’s face changed slightly, a flash of annoyance appeared in her eyes before she quickly resumed her composure.

MO Jingteng nodded. Glancing at MO Zixuan standing behind MO Xiuchen, he naturally realized that the ‘someone’ whom MO Xiuchen had mentioned was him.

“Yes, I plan to go on a vacation.”

He spoke calmly with a slow pace, his expression subtly revealing a touch of fatigue. “I’ve entrusted the company to you, I’m at ease with that. Regardless of what has happened before, Zixuan is your brother, the two of you have to work together to protect the company.”

“You’re going alone?”

MO Xiuchen didn’t like hearing him talk about such things, even less so the fact that he was linking him with MO Zixuan. He was himself, and MO Zixuan was MO Zixuan. Even if they shared the same surname, he wouldn’t admit that MO Zixuan was his brother.

The word ‘brother’ was too ironic.

Had it not been for this ‘brother’, would his mother have jumped from a building and died after taking hallucinogenic drugs?

Seeing his cold expression, a twinge of guilt rose in MO Jingteng’s heart. Realizing that anything he said now would be useless, he didn’t continue. “Yes,

I’m going alone.”

“Dad, your health isn’t good. We won’t feel at ease if you go out alone. If you really want to clear your mind, let mom go with you.”

MO Jingteng snorted, “Her? She’s too busy, she doesn’t have the time.”

“Mom

MO Zixuan’s face changed. He looked at Xiao Wenqing with a questioning gaze. What was going on? Had she and MO Xiuchen been arguing again?

Xiao Wenqing ignored MO Zixuan. She walked up to MO Jingtengs side in two strides and said gently, “Jingteng, why don’t you postpone your journey for a few days? We can arrange for Zixuan and Zhou Lin’s wedding and then you can go.”

“Mom, what wedding?”

MO Zixuan was taken aback and his voice was suddenly several decibels louder.

MO Xiuchen narrowed his eyes into a sharp slit. Was Xiao Wenqing really planning to hold a wedding for MO Zixuan and Zhou Lin at this time?

How interesting!

He didn’t believe Xiao Wenqing wouldn’t know if Zhou Mingfu was arrested. Given her style, she would have made Zhou Lin abort the child and leave MO’s mansion when Zhou Mingfu was at his wits’ end. It was highly unlikely that the wedding would be advanced.

It seemed that there really were more than one or two dirty deals between her and Zhou Mingfu.

Avoiding MO Zixuan’s gaze, Xiao Wenqing lowered her head, not letting MO Xiuchen observe her expressions. She spoke calmly, “Zhou Lin told me a few days ago that she wanted to advance the wedding. She was afraid that her belly would become obvious by the end of the year, making her unable to fit into a wedding dress. Also, holding a wedding at that time would likely put a strain on the fetus.”

“I don’t agree!”

MO Zixuan outright declined.

Previously, he had agreed to marry Zhou Lin under the dual pressures from his parents. Later, to keep Zhou Lin from continuing to investigate Wen Ran’s origins, he also agreed to accept her.

But just ten minutes ago, he saw the news reporting that Zhou Mingfu had almost kidnapped Wen Ran the night before. His heart was burning with rage and he wanted to give Zhou Mingfu a good beating.

How could he possibly advance the wedding with his daughter!

“Hmm, this time, I stand by Zixuan’s decision.”

Surprisingly, MO Jingteng actually backed his son instead of forcing him to hold the wedding early like Xiao Wenqing and let Zhou Lin be brought into the family.

MO Zixuan shot a surprised glance, looking somewhat excitedly at MO

Jingteng. “Dad, thank you for supporting me. Before, when I agreed to marry Zhou Lin, it was because she was carrying my child. Although I was set up at the time, I accepted it. But now, the news has reported all sorts of crimes committed by Zhou Mingfu. A daughter raised by such an immoral person would definitely not be any better.”

“Now, I suspect that the person who set me up that night could have been Zhou Lin!”

“Zixuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Zhou Lin is also a victim, how could she possibly scheme against you? She just loves you too much.”

Xiao Wenqing explained anxiously, evoking a suspicious look from MO Zixuan,

“Mom, why so worked up when I just hinted at Zhou Lin’s involvement?”

“I, I’m worried that you will always hold onto Wen Ran, unable to move on from that relationship. Even if you and Zhou Lin ended up together originally as a result of someone’s meddling, you should let go of the past and give her a chance.. Just like your brother and Wen Ran, when they got married, they were not in love with each other, but now, aren’t they living happily?”
