Chapter 761: I owe you too much

At ten in the morning, just as Wen Jin had finished a meeting and was preparing to visit the workshop, Lu Zhiyan’s call came through.

“Ah Jin, Mo Jingteng has come to see Mo Zixuan.”

Wen Jin had just reached the stairwell when he heard this and halted in his tracks.

Turning around and walking two steps toward the window, he stood there and calmly said, “He must have heard the news that Ah Kai and I went to see Mo Zixuan and couldn’t sit still.”

“Mm, I think so too, he didn’t care about Mo Zixuan before, didn’t even hire a lawyer for him, and now, hearing that you’ve seen Mo Zixuan, he can’t sit still.”

Lu Zhiyan’s voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, entered Wen Jin’s ears via the phone.

He chuckled scornfully, saying dismissively, “Don’t worry, he has already chilled Mo Zixuan’s heart. It’s too late for him to go see him now.”

“Mm, I think so too.”

Lu Zhiyan chuckled over the phone, “Those photos, when does Luo Haofeng plan to use them?”

As Wen Jin descended the stairs, he replied carelessly, “I don’t know, they won’t be made public in the near future, at most they’ll privately approach one of the two main characters, as for the part about Cheng Jia, we’ll have to wait for Mo Xiuchen to return, only then will it be effective.”@@novelbin@@

“I originally planned to let Mo Zixuan leave this morning, but he said he’d wait. I now realize that the person he was waiting for was probably Mo Jingteng.”

Lu Zhiyan suddenly thought of something and added.

After walking out of the office building, Wen Jin strolled through the factory area, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He said, “Don’t bother him. When he wants to leave is his own business. Mo Jingteng is his father, and it’s normal for him to pick him up when he knows he’s fine.”

“Pick him up? You mean, Mo Zixuan is going to return to MS Group?”

Lu Zhiyan sounded somewhat surprised.

“Mm, if I’m not mistaken, Mo Jingteng will bring him back, and Mo Zixuan isn’t foolish enough to tell Mo Jingteng that he released some secrets about their group’s shareholders.”

Wen Jin stated his own hypothesis, Mo Zixuan would not decline Mo Jingteng’s kindness.

As he had guessed, the conversation in the police station went exactly like this.

The person Mo Zixuan was waiting for was indeed Mo Jingteng.

While he might not be as astute and decisive in the business arena as Mo Xiuchen, nor does he possess Mo Xiuchen’s business acumen, he still somewhat understood Mo Jingteng.

This man who gave birth to and raised him never loved him.

Even when his mother never betrayed Mo Jingteng in the past, Mo Jingteng never pinned his hopes on him.

He was resolute that his successor would be Mo Xiuchen.

Of course, Mo Zixuan knew that Mo Jingteng’s decision to see Mo Xiuchen as his successor was not because he cherished that son, but because of Mo Xiuchen’s talents.

After being driven out of the Mo family last time, Mo Jingteng later brought him back to restrain Mo Xiuchen.

Then he understood more clearly that in his eyes, he was just a chess piece, useful when needed, discarded when not.

His visit now was not because Mo Zixuan was useful, but because he didn’t want Mo Zixuan to be used by others.

Mulling over this, Mo Zixuan let out a cold laugh in his mind, but his face did not betray any change in emotions as he listened to Mo Jingteng’s explanations.

Why Mo Jingteng didn’t visit him for so long, and why he didn’t hire a lawyer.

“Zixuan, can you understand my predicament?”

At the end of the talk, Mo Jingteng put on the face of a loving father. Zixuan lightly responded, “Dad, I understand. I am to blame for my own mistakes, no one else is.”

“Zixuan, in fact, I have been trying to find a way these past few days, I was thinking of using another method to prevent Wen Jin from pursuing this matter any further, but I didn’t expect that Wen Jin would actually…”

With sharp eyes hidden behind his gentle gaze, Mo Jingteng tried to detect something from Mo Zixuan’s face.

However, after watching for a long while, Mo Zixuan always wore the same apathetic expression. After Mo Jingteng finished talking, he chuckled self-mockingly. “Wen Jin did not release me out of kindness, he just didn’t want me to be at peace. He thinks sending me to jail is too easy.”

“Wen Jin is really vicious. Zixuan, you don’t have to feel guilty at all. Wen Ran was harmed by Liao Dongxing, not you. Besides, she’s still alive, isn’t she?”

Mo Jingteng said indignantly, appearing entirely like a father determined to protect his son.

“Dad.”

Mo Zixuan softly called out, looking at Mo Jingteng with a glint of emotion in his eyes.

Mo Jingteng immediately grinned, “Zixuan, let’s go home now. You can rest tomorrow, and then return to work at the company. Your brother is now amnesiac, let’s not hold any grudges. Let’s manage MS Group well together as brothers.”

“Dad, you still want me to go back to the company?”

Mo Zixuan looked at Mo Jingteng in surprise, while the latter nodded, “Of course, you are my son, where else could you go if not back to work at the company? However, your brother has returned now, he is more suited to the position of the CEO.”

“Dad, I understand, I won’t fight with him over it.”

Mo Zixuan’s gaze dimmed a little, seemingly admitting his inferiority to Mo Xiuchen.

**

Mo Zixuan indeed went home with Mo Jingteng, but he declined Mo Jingteng’s proposal to marry Zhou Lin.

The next day, Mo Zixuan returned to work at MS Group, resuming his former position as vice president.

On hearing this, Wen Jin, Gu Kai and others just gave a faint smile. Zhou Lin also did not go to see Mo Zixuan again but instead bought a ticket to return to D Country.

Before leaving, Zhou Lin made a trip to City C.

That afternoon, Wen Ran received a phone call from Zhou Lin, who said she was in a café across from their company and wanted to meet with her.

Upon arriving at the café, Wen Ran indeed saw Zhou Lin sitting there. When she saw Wen Ran approach, Zhou Lin stood up, smiled, and greeted her, “Ran Ran, sit.”

Wen Ran nodded and sat down across from her, ordering a glass of plain hot water. She then asked lightly, “Are you alone? Where is your daughter?”

“I found a nanny to take care of her for a few days. Ranran, I came here to thank you.”

Zhou Lin looked at Wen Ran with sincere eyes, her words imbued with heartfelt gratitude.

Wen Ran cracked a faint, barely noticeable smile.

The waiter brought over water, which she held in her hands, speaking steadily, “You needn’t thank me. If you wish to thank someone, go thank my two brothers. It was their decision.”

“Ranran, I know that if you hadn’t agreed, Ah Jin and Gu Kai would not have let Zixuan off. I also know that saying thank you or sorry to you now is meaningless. Yet, I still wanted to come and thank you. I, Zhou Lin, owe you too much in this lifetime. If there ever comes a day when you need me, whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do it.”

Zhou Lin’s words didn’t seem like lies, and there was no need for her to be hypocritical in front of Wen Ran at this time.

Listening to her words, Wen Ran felt a complex array of emotions sweep through her.

Seeing Zhou Lin’s massively different appearance and attire compared to the past, she realized that Zhou Lin had truly changed after becoming a mother.
