Chapter 571: 570 Regardless
Shen Yuting quietly pulled Wen Ran aside while Wen Jin and Gu Kai admonished Mo Xiuchen, urging him to take good care of Ranran.
What they were really worried about was, once they arrived in D Country, if there was still no best treatment for Ranran’s condition, she would fall into despair.
Mo Xiuchen’s figure was upright and his features were refined. Even while speaking to others, his deep, black eyes were still fixed on Wen Ran not far away.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Ranran.”
His tone was gentle and calm. The word ‘Ran Ran’ tinged with unuttered affection as it fell from his gentle lips, and his eyes carried a hint of tenderness.
Wen Jin glanced at Wen Ran, who was talking to Shen Yuting a short distance away, and murmured: “I have already contacted Zhixing.”
Hearing his words, Mo Xiuchen nodded slightly, and his eyes moved to glance at Qin Mu, whose expression was neutral.
Having captured his gaze, Qin Mu quietly said: “I also told my father about this, asking him to look into it. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately.”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Ah Mu, what are you having Uncle Qin investigate?”
Luo Haofeng looked at them in confusion. On the side, Gu Kai was listening to his father, Gu Yan’s admonishments. He glanced at Mo Xiuchen and others, but did not speak.
“It’s about Fu Jingyi.” Mo Xiuchen briefly explained.
A few meters away, Shen Yuting held Wen Ran’s hand and looked at her tenderly, whispering, “Ranran, When you go to D Country, you must take good care of yourself.”
“I know, Sister Ting, you too.”
Wen Ran nodded with a smile, and after thinking for a moment, she said, “When I return from abroad, wouldn’t it be about time for you to introduce us to Jiang Liu?”
She was quite curious because Jiang Liu looked somewhat similar to Xiuchen.
“No problem. Had he not been out on a business trip, I would have brought him to the airport to see you off today.” Shen Yuting said readily. Jiang Liu had been unexpectedly sent on a business trip that night and had not yet returned.
Seeing the subtle warmth in Shen Yuting’s eyes, the kind of happiness of a woman in love, Wen Ran felt happy for her.
If Jiang Liu truly loved her and they were really happy together, there was no need to bring up anything else.
“Ranran, Yuting, are you done talking? It’s time to board the plane.”
Mo Xiuchen’s deep and gentle voice sounded. As Wen Ran turned her head, he was already standing in front of her, naturally catching her hand and holding it in his own.
Shen Yuting teased, “I just spoke a few words with Ranran. Xiuchen, you’re already so impatient to find Ranran.”
Mo Xiuchen did neither agreed nor disagreed, making no attempt to hide his concern for Wen Ran: “Ranran, let’s go.”
After saying goodbye to everyone again, Mo Xiuchen, hand in hand with Wen Ran, and accompanied by Gu Yan, headed to the security check. Wen Ran looked back one more time before the three figures disappeared from everyone’s sight.

MS Group.
As soon as Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu returned to the company, they found out that Mo Jingteng was looking for them.
The two arrived at Mo Jingteng’s office. They knocked and entered, Mo Jingteng rose from a high-back rotating chair and motioned them to sit down on the sofa.
He stood up, walked slowly over, and took a seat across from them on the sofa.
Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu exchanged a look. Qin Mu then said in a polite and distant voice: “Chairman, what did you want to discuss with us?”
Mo Jingteng’s sharp eyes focused on Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu. These two young men were as outstanding as Xiuchen. Over the years, they had been assisting Xiuchen.
It was only now that he knew, Xiuchen wasn’t just in control of the MS Group, but he also had his own company and enormous wealth.
No wonder he was so determined to leave the company. It turned out that he had already spread his wings and didn’t need to rely on the MS Group. He could do his own thing. How much he had overlooked his son to be so unaware.
“Ah Mu, Ah Feng, I heard that Xiuchen and Wen Ran have gone abroad together?”
Mo Jingteng spoke at a leisurely pace, his tone of inquiry sounded certain.
“Yes, Chairman.”
Qin Mu replied calmly. There was nothing to hide about this. Xiuchen had already left the MS Group, so what if Mo Jingteng knew about his whereabouts.
Mo Jingteng’s expression sunk a little. He was apparently annoyed as Xiuchen had gone abroad without informing him, showing no regard for him as his father. He fell silent for a moment, then said heavily: “Xiuchen is too wilful. He would really do anything for Wen Ran. He left such a big enterprise and left just like that.”
Qin Mu made no comment.
Luo Haofeng did not respond either, his slender eyes flickering.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to undergo some subtle changes, with a vague melancholy air spreading. Mo Jingteng’s voice carried an aura of old authority: “A few days after Xiuchen left the company, there has been some unrest both inside and outside of it. Zixuan is too young and temporarily lacks the ability to take full control. Ah Feng, Ah Mu, you two are Xiuchen’s best friends and have made invaluable contributions to the MS Group over the years.”
Upon reaching this point, Mo Jingteng paused slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the faces of Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu.
Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu’s expressions remained unchanged, one elegant and beautiful, the other cool and composed. In their hearts, they were somewhat surprised. They were not fools, and they could guess the implication behind Mo Jingteng’s words.
However, they didn’t expect that he would forsake his own son and want to choose one of them. So this was his way of trying to force Xiuchen back, and he wanted them to do it.
It really was a deep and calculated move.
His own health was poor, and he couldn’t sit on the top spot like before. Also, he didn’t want his lifetime’s achievement to be ruined by Mo Zixuan. Therefore, he was doing everything he could to keep Xiuchen.
“Ah Mu, Ah Feng, I intend to choose one of you as the new president of the MS Group…”
“Chairman, this can’t be done.”
Before he could finish his words, Luo Haofeng interrupted him, his almond-shaped eyes full of shock and panic. Seeing his expression, Qin Mu, sitting next to him, wanted to laugh but didn’t, since it seemed inappropriate in front of Mo Jingteng. All he could do was to hold it in.
Without waiting for Mo Jingteng to ask why this could not be done, Luo Haofeng said: “The MS Group is the empire Chairman built with hard work over your lifetime. It should be inherited by Xiuchen or Mo Zixuan. Even though Xiuchen gave up his position as president for his love, there is still Mo Zixuan who has always been very interested in the position of the president. Chairman, why not just give the company to him as he wishes?”
“Yes, Ah Feng is right. The Chairman should choose Mo Zixuan.”
