Chapter 248: 247 Wen Ran’s Background
Zhou Lin had waited an entire afternoon and night without any sight of MO Zixuan, it felt as though her heart had completely died.
MO Zixuan’s disgust towards her was so intense that even threatening him with the woman he loved was useless, she couldn’t discern her feelings towards him, was it hate or love.
Just as she was contemplating whether to reveal Wen Ran’s background to the media as revenge for MO Zixuan’s ruthless abandonment, her phone suddenly rang.
The ringtone was specially assigned to calls from MO Zixuan.
A gleam of joy burst from her somber eyes as she picked up the phone, looked at the incoming call, and cheerfully answered, “Hello, Zixuan.”
“It’s me!”
The voice that came through was like a bucket of cold water extinguishing her joy. She blinked in surprise before responding, “Aunt Xiao, why are you using Zixuan’s phone?”
“Zixuan is my son, what’s so strange about me using his phone? I want to ask you, why did you hide Wen Ran’s background from me?”
Zhou Lin was startled by the question. She feigned ignorance and said, “Aunt
Xiao, I don’t understand what you mean. What about Wen Ran’s background?”
“Hmph, you’re still playing dumb. You’ve investigated Wen Ran’s background. She isn’t Wen Hongrui’s biological daughter, is she?”
Xiao Wenqing was not in the mood to listen to Zhou Lin’s lies. She asked each question word for word, all of them crucial.
She was also shocked herself. Wen Ran wasn’t Wen Hongrui’s real daughter.
Such important information was hidden from her by Zhou Lin and maybe even Zhou Mingfu was kept in the dark.
“Aunt Xiao, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. What about Wen Ran’s heritage? If she’s not Wen Hongrui’s daughter then who? Why are you asking me these questions, where is Zixuan, isn’t he there?”
Zhou Lin originally planned to take revenge on MO Zixuan by revealing Wen Ran’s background to the media, but after Xiao Wenqing’s questioning, she suddenly had a change of heart.
Xiao Wenqing was going to burn the bridge after crossing the river. She not only caused the death of Zhou Lin’s father but also wanted to harm the child in Zhou Lin’s womb. Zhou Lin was not a fool, she wouldn’t succumb to her will.
At first, she thought Wen Jin and Wen Ran caused her father’s death. But then she realized that Wen Jin and Wen Ran wanted her father to be condemned by the world and punished by the law. They wouldn’t let her father die so easily.
It must have been Xiao Wenqing who killed her dad, after she tried to harm the child in her womb.
How could she be used by her again? Given the choice, she would rather choose Wen Ran than work for Xiao Wenqing again.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Lin’s response made Xiao Wenqing turn green with rage as she coldly said, “Zhou Lin, playing dumb won’t help now. I have seen the message you sent to Zixuan, I know that Wen Ran isn’t Wen Hongrui’s biological daughter. If you voluntarily tell me her true background, I might let you come back. Otherwise, don’t think about saving the child in your womb.”
Having said these words, Xiao Wenqing revealed her cards to Zhou Lin, forcing her to make a choice.
Zhou Mingfu was dead and she no longer needed Zhou Lin. Truth be told, she wanted to get rid of both Zhou Lin and her unborn child.
“Aunt Xiao, the child in my belly is also a member of the MO family. How could you be so ruthless?”
Zhou Lin was both shocked and angry, gripping her phone tightly. She couldn’t believe the harsh words coming from Xiao Wenqing.
“It’s not that I’m ruthless, it’s that you’re pathetic. I’m giving you three days to think it over. Also, don’t think about threatening Zixuan with Wen Ran. He won’t be doing anything for Wen Ran anymore. If you listen to me, you can continue being Zixuan’s fiancée. If you try hard enough, perhaps one day he will genuinely fall for you.”
Xiao Wenqing employed both the carrot and the stick approach, aiming only for Zhou Lin to reveal the secret of Wen Ran’s identity.
After she finished speaking, she didn’t give Zhou Lin a chance to refuse and directly hung up. Her gaze was fixated on that message as her mind rapidly pieced together when Zhou Lin might have discovered Wen Ran’s true identity.
Two minutes later, Xiao Wenqing remembered that when Wen Ran was away on a business trip, MO Zixuan proposed going to F City with Zhou Lin to take their wedding photos, coincidentally, it seemed like the Wen family had just moved back from F City.
F City!
Suddenly, something flashed through her mind, but before she could grasp it, it disappeared.
She remembered that MO Zixuan returned first and Zhou Lin stayed in F City alone, later, it was Zixuan who went to pick her up.
It was from then that Zhou Lin moved into the MO family home. While her son still disliked Zhou Lin, his attitude towards her was much better than before.
Could all this have been for Wen Ran?
Xiao Wenqing’s expression changed dramatically as she repeated, “F City”. Years ago, MO Xiuchen narrowly escaped death in F City. If it wasn’t for that damn little girl who saved him, he wouldn’t have survived. That little girl was the daughter of the Gu Family!
These secrets were unknown to all.
Except for her, Wu Tianyi, Fu Jingyi, and a few others. Initially, she wanted to kill that little girl, but somehow, she escaped…
Memories flooded her mind, and Xiao Wenqing’s face turned as pale as a ghost. Could it be that Wen Ran was…
Right, why hadn’t she considered that before?
If her guess was correct, then MO Xiuchen had deceived everyone.
His marriage to Wen Ran certainly didn’t happen because he wanted to get revenge on MO Zixuan.
Initially, she wanted to ruin Wen Ran, but MO Xiuchen intervened and made a deal with Zhou Lin. In the end, Zhou Lin ended up in MO Zixuan’s bed, and MO Xiuchen married Wen Ran.
No wonder he treated Wen Ran so well.
Hmm. Something is off. Xiao Wenqing frowned. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but something felt wrong. This was just her guesswork, it couldn’t possibly be true.
“Mom, why did it take you so long to call dad?”
Xiao Wenqing walked out of her room to find MO Zixuan finishing a bowl of ribs. He was going upstairs when he saw her and asked impatiently.
Xiao Wenqing quickly walked over, apologising with a smile and took the bowl from him, “I ended up chatting with your dad for a bit. Are you full? Do you want some more? I’ll get it for you.”
“No, I’m done. Give me back my phone.”
MO Zixuan stretched out his hand to her.
Xiao Wenqing smiled subtly and handed over his phone, saying, “It’s late. You should rest early. Remember, you have to go to work tomorrow.”
“I know.”
MO Zixuan nodded and went back to his room.
Xiao Wenqing stood in the second-floor hallway, shouting to the housemaid downstairs. The maid came running to collect the bowl. Xiao Wenqing then returned to her room, closed the door, and immediately dialed a number..
