Chapter 157 - 157: 156, when you’re drunk, it’s you who suffers
For a moment Cheng Jia on the other end of the phone did not recognize Luo Haofeng’s voice, there was a second of stunned silence before her voice came through the phone, “You are not Young Master MO, how come his phone is with you?”
“I’m Luo Haofeng, MO Xiuchen isn’t here, whatever you want to say, you can tell me.”
Luo Haofeng leaned back in his chair and said with a smirk.
“I have important things to say to Young Master MO personally, about that accident at the construction site.”
Cheng Jia seemed to guess that MO Xiuchen didn’t want to answer her call, hesitated for a moment, before stating the reason she was looking for him. She had been thinking about it all day and finally made this decision.
“MO Xiuchen will soon get to the bottom of that incident, you don’t need to worry.”
Luo Haofeng glanced at MO Xiuchen, seeing him silently being indifferent, he refused Cheng Jia’s request.
“Not just that incident, I also have more important matters, which involved his mother and the year he was kidnapped.”
There was a hint of gritting her teeth in Cheng Jia’s words, it was evident that she was trying hard to suppress her emotions. She had seen Luo Haofeng before and knew that he was not like Little Liu, a regular driver of MO
Xiuchen’s. Luo Haofeng exuded the demeanor of a wealthy family’s son.
She didn’t dare to be rude to him like she was to Little Liu.
Luo Haofeng set the phone to speaker mode and everyone in the box could hear Cheng Jia’s voice.
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes, she subconsciously looked at MO Xiuchen, seeing him only showing a hint of chill in his eyes with no other emotions visible. She pursed her lips, stopped looking at the phone in Luo Haofeng’s hand, only quietly watching MO Xiuchen.
Shen Yuting also turned to look at MO Xiuchen immediately, the faces of Gu Kai and Qin Mu changing slightly, their gaze also shifted to MO Xiuchen.
“MO Xiuchen is here now, you talk to him directly.”
If it were only about the construction site incident, Luo Haofeng would not let Cheng Jia speak to MO Xiuchen, but she mentioned MO Xiuchen’s mother and the kidnapping incident from back then, he thought, MO Xiuchen should hear it.
He handed the phone to MO Xiuchen. The latter didn’t refuse, accepted the phone, and spoke indifferently, “What is it, get to the point!”
“Young Master MO, are you free now? There are matters that I need to discuss with you in person.”
Upon hearing MO Xiuchen’s voice, Cheng Jia’s tone became excited instantly. Afraid he would not meet her, she added, “It’s about your kidnapping and the affairs of your mother from back then… there’s too much to explain over the phone. If you don’t have time tonight, tomorrow is fine too.”
“I’m at the Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion. Come over now.”
MO Xiuchen’s indifferent voice didn’t have a hint of emotion. However, to Cheng Jia, it filled her heart with joy, and she agreed without hesitation, “Okay, I’ll be there right away.”
At this time, she even forgot that she was still a patient.
“MO Xiuchen, what’s Cheng Jia trying to do, is she confessing voluntarily?”
The moment he hung up, Luo Haofeng asked out of curiosity, Qin Mu and Gu Kai didn’t speak, but they were also puzzled.
“Isn’t that Cheng Jia the little girl who saved you back then? What did she mean by what she said on the phone, does she actually know about Aunt Jiang’s things from back then?”
Shen Yuting only just returned this afternoon and had not yet seen Cheng Jia. She only heard Gu Kai mention her in a previous phone conversation and knew that Gu Kai had already confirmed if she was his lost sister.
MO Xiuchen’s handsome facial lines were filled with a cold meaning due to Cheng Jia’s call, he didn’t answer Luo Haofeng and Shen Yuting’s questions, his indifferent tone carried a hint of chill, “She is afraid I will expose her, and her consequences will be even more disastrous.”
Luo Haofeng continued with a sarcastic remark, “Well, she isn’t completely stupid, she knows the benefit of confessing earlier.”
Gu Kai chuckled, glanced at Wen Ran and said, “She pulled a sympathy card and couldn’t make you pity her. So, she probably knew that you would figure out the truth sooner or later and thus, made this move.”
“MO Xiuchen’s charm is really huge, to make Cheng Jia betray Xiao Wenqing. So it seems she is head over heels in love with you!”
The always-quiet Qin Mu made such a shocking statement out of the blue, with his tone calm and casual. There was no hint of teasing on his handsome face, it seemed like he was simply commenting on the taste of the food on the table.
“Ha ha!”
Luo Haofeng laughed heartily. Qin Mu was always quiet, but his mouth was arguably one of the most sarcastic.
Ignoring the cold glares from his side, Qin Mu looked at Wen Ran with an unchanged expression and casually greeted her, “Miss Wen, MO Xiuchen has to meet Cheng Jia. Make yourself at home, order anything else you would like to
eat. ”
“Ranran, come with me.”
MO Xiuchen interrupted Qin Mu’s words. This kid was getting back at him for dumping work on him to accompany Wen Ran earlier.
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes, she hesitated and asked, “Cheng
Jia clearly wants to talk to you privately. Is it convenient for me to be with you? Will she stop talking when she sees me?”
She felt that what Qin Mu said made sense, if Cheng Jia wasn’t the little girl who saved him back then and knew the truth about MO Xiuchen’s kidnapping back then, as well as his mother’s affairs, then it meant that she was very likely duped by Xiao Wenqing to deceive MO Xiuchen.
However, Xiao Wenqing did not expect that Cheng Jia would hopelessly fall in love with MO Xiuchen and even betray her.
MO Xiuchen had been investigating the truth about back then, so if Cheng Jia could tell him, it would be best.
“Yeah, MO Xiuchen, if you bring Wen Ran along, Cheng Jia definitely won’t confess to you. I think you should go meet her alone and use some charm. I’m sure Cheng Jia will confess everything to you.”
Luo Haofeng said with an ambiguous smile on his face, as if MO Xiuchen would do something intimate with Cheng Jia for the information she had.
“MO Xiuchen, although, I don’t know what’s going on, but I think Ranran and Ah Feng are making sense. Cheng Jia also said on the phone that she wanted to talk to you alone. If you bring Ranran along, she will definitely be upset.”
MO Xiuchen snorted indifferently and said dismissively, “I don’t care if she’s upset or not. Even if she doesn’t confess, I can still find out. The only reason she’s willing to confess is because she’s afraid her consequences will be more
cusastrous.’
After speaking, MO Xiuchen stood up, left his seat, walked a few steps to Wen Ran, pulled her up in front of everyone, and looked at the others, ‘You guys continue, Ranran and I’ll leave first. Yuting, we’ll have you over for a meal another time.’
Shen Yuting’s face changed slightly, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, just watched him steadily.
Right after MO Xiuchen left the box with Wen Ran, Shen Yuting retracted her gaze and reached out to pick up the wine bottle beside Qin Mu, poured herself a full glass, raised her head, and the fiery liquor poured down her throat.
Gu Kai’s eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he said in a low voice, “Yuting, that’s not how you drink wine. If you get drunk, you’re the one who will suffer.”
Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu didn’t speak, they both knew about Shen Yuting’s unrequited love for MO Xiuchen..
