Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 875: This time you got what you wanted.

“I know.”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes chilled, and a trace of melancholy seeped through his voice as it passed his thin lips.

No one would be allowed to hurt his Ranran, not even Mo Jingteng.

After a few seconds of silence, Mo Xiuchen asked again, “Did he go back to the hospital or home?”

“He went home. He asked me to call you and find out if you’re planning to come back tonight.” Mo Jingteng was still waiting for him in the living room downstairs. He had thought the old man had already called him.

“Understood.”

A sneer curled the corner of Mo Xiuchen’s mouth, and specks of coldness began to condense in his pond-like eyes.

After finishing the call with Mo Zixuan, Mo Xiuchen didn’t leave the study immediately. If he guessed correctly, Mo Jingteng would call him soon, and he didn’t want to disturb Ranran’s sleep.

His gaze swept over the computer on the desk. Without moving towards it, Mo Xiuchen settled down on the sofa.

As expected, it took only two minutes before his phone began to vibrate again, with a call from Mo Jingteng. Mo Xiuchen’s eyes flashed with chill as his long fingers pressed the answer button, and he spoke with indifference, “Hello!”

“Xiuchen, Zixuan said you’re not coming back?”

Anger seeped into Mo Jingteng’s voice, seemingly barely contained. Mo Xiuchen was no longer under his control.

Stretching out his legs, Mo Xiuchen replied lazily, “Yes, I’ve moved back to our suburban villa. I’m more accustomed to living here.”

“Xiuchen, this is also your home.” Mo Jingteng’s tone grew angry. That was his home? Hah, indeed it was.

Mo Xiuchen felt like laughing. A sneer indeed played around his lips. Did he think that because he couldn’t remember the past, he wouldn’t know about it?

Ever since Mo Zixuan told him those stories, he had wanted to move back here. It was only because Ranran was avoiding him at the time that he didn’t want to move back alone.

He had been waiting for this day when Ranran returned to his side, and they could move back to their home together. This place, this was the true home of Mo Xiuchen. In fact, he had transferred ownership of this villa to Wen Ran, symbolizing that wherever Ranran was, that was his home.

“That place?” Mo Xiuchen’s words were laced with mockery. “I heard I moved out from a young age. Living here might help with recovering my memories.”

“Xiuchen, did you also hear something else?” Mo Jingteng asked, astonished.

How much did Mo Xiuchen really know? He was never sure, despite his repeated probes that never bore fruit. Hearing him now, Mo Jingteng felt a jolt of fear.

Originally, he had wanted to use the MS Group as leverage to constrain him, to get him to agree to meet Li Yaqing once. Now it seemed, Mo Xiuchen must have anticipated his intentions and was ready to confront him.

“I’ve heard everything I should know, including how you killed my mother, drove me out of the house, and left me to fend for myself.”

Mo Xiuchen’s voice was tinged with a cold indifference, sending a chill through Mo Jingteng as he listened, his face paling, “Xiuchen, don’t listen to nonsense, it wasn’t like that.”

“You know exactly how it was.”

Mo Xiuchen snorted coldly.

“Xiuchen…” Mo Jingteng tried to explain, no matter what Mo Xiuchen had heard, as long as he hadn’t recovered his memory, there was still a chance to make amends.

“The real reason you asked me to take over Haochen,” he continued, “was not because Haochen posed a threat to MS Group, but because Haochen had shares of my own, Ah Feng and Ah Mu were my best friends. You said Ranran betrayed me, but that was just a lie you told to deceive me. In fact, you used my health to force Ranran to take a poisonous oath.”

“Xiuchen, you…”

Over the phone, Mo Jingteng’s voice trembled, clearly shocked by Mo Xiuchen’s words.

“Didn’t expect me to know the truth so soon? Or is it that you haven’t achieved your goal, I haven’t turned against my own friends, and haven’t harbored hatred against the woman I love most? You think that just because I lost my memory, I would really become your pawn, to be manipulated at your will?”

Mo Xiuchen’s words were sharp and cold as ice. On the other end of the phone, Mo Jingteng’s old face turned pale. He wanted to say something, but Mo Xiuchen scoffed, each word deliberate, “Originally, out of respect for you as my father, I didn’t go to extremes. But in return, you hurt the person I love the most. This time, I’ll grant your wish and let you watch as MS Group goes bankrupt in my hands and disappears forever.”

“You… you…”

Mo Jingteng uttered “you” twice in agitation over the phone and then fainted. Mo Xiuchen heard Mo Zixuan’s voice and the bodyguards’, pursed his lips, disconnected the call, and stood up to walk out of the study.

On the spacious and soft bed, Wen Ran lay on her side. Although he could only see her from the back, his heart filled with resentment quickly dissipated at the sight of her delicate silhouette. His eyes softened with tenderness and adoration, and the lines of his face relaxed.

He didn’t approach her. Instead, he stood upright at the door of the study, his gaze tenderly fixed on that delicate silhouette. She was the woman he loved the most. Whoever harmed her was Mo Xiuchen’s enemy.

Even if it was his own father, he would not let it go again.

The words he had just spoken would not kill Mo Jingteng outright, but given his current health, he’d likely end up paralyzed in bed for life. However, this was just the beginning. Tomorrow, he would hand over all the collected evidence of Mo Jingteng’s crimes to the police and let him fall from grace.

Mo Xiuchen looked tenderly at the woman in the bed for a long while, then returned to the study and dialed Qin Mu’s number.

Once he publicized the evidence against Mo Jingteng, MS Group would be in turmoil, and Qin Mu had to be ready to coordinate with him.

The phone rang a few times, and then Qin Mu’s calm voice came through: “Hello, Xiuchen.”

“Ah Mu, tomorrow I’ll hand over all of Mo Jingteng’s evidence to the police. Following that, MS Group will surely face disturbances. Have you made arrangements for Haochen’s side?”

“So soon?”

Surprise filled Qin Mu’s voice. He had thought it would take at least a month or two since Mo Jingteng still held some power. From the beginning to the end, he hadn’t fully trusted Xiuchen.

Especially since the period after he had left MS Group and Mo Zixuan took over, the real power had been in Mo Jingteng’s hands.

Determination flickered in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes as his deep voice conveyed a composure born of strategic reasoning: “Yes, I don’t want to wait any longer. It’s something that needs to be resolved sooner or later.”

At this point, Mo Jingteng no longer trusted him, and to wait any longer would only give him a chance to hurt his Ranran. Rather than allow that, he’d prefer to face more trouble on the company’s side than give Mo Jingteng the opportunity to harm Ranran.

“Did Mo Jingteng find out about you and Ranran?”

Although Qin Mu wasn’t in G City, after many years of brotherhood, he knew Mo Xiuchen’s approach to handling affairs well. If they wanted to take over MS Group, now really wasn’t the right time. After all, Xiuchen had missed the best opportunity to do so at the beginning.
