Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1312: 1311 no clues

“What’s wrong with me talking about Ah Kai? Ah Kai hurt his hand, and I’m asking you to show him some concern. What’s with the outburst?”

Bai Yuqin was displeased with Bai Yiyi’s attitude.

Bai Yiyi was already frustrated. If not for that damned man, would her heart be in such a mess?

He always tries to take advantage of her without a thought, does he assume she wouldn’t hold him responsible? So he kisses her and then turns around to look for other women.

Thinking about this, Bai Yiyi’s anger flared up, and upon hearing her mother’s accusations, it grew even fiercer, “I’m not in a good mood and I want to vent. You go have your fun outside, and stop calling me bringing up Gu Kai every so often. Even if his hand was not just hurt but utterly useless, it’s none of my business.”

Perhaps her fury was too intense, which caught the attention of Bai Yuqin on the other end of the phone.

The reason she kept bringing up Gu Kai was that she genuinely thought he was a man worthy of any girl’s lifelong commitment. Though their families had grievances from the previous generation, these had nothing to do with Yiyi.

Moreover, thinking of Tongtong, Bai Yuqin also felt that if Yiyi were to marry Gu Kai, Tongtong could grow up in a complete and happy family.

“Yiyi, what’s wrong with you? Are you troubled by the pharmaceutical issue? Alright, it was mom’s fault earlier, I shouldn’t have nagged you about Ah Kai.”

Hearing Bai Yuqin’s voice soften, Bai Yiyi’s anger subsided somewhat, and she pursed her lips to calm herself down.

“Mom, it’s nothing, I was just in a bad mood. You just enjoy your time outside, I’m still out myself. I’ll call you when I get home.”

“Don’t overwork yourself.”

After all, Bai Yuqin was still the one who cared about Bai Yiyi the most.

“I know, mom, I’m hanging up now.” After Bai Yuqin responded with an ‘okay’, Bai Yiyi hung up the phone.

Suburban Villa

In a dining room bathed in the soft warm light of a crystal chandelier, Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen sat alongside Gu Yan and Wen Jin, accompanying them during the meal.

“Ranran had just received a call from Ah Jin, and immediately left me behind to rush into the kitchen to cook personally. Dad, Ah Jin, make sure you eat plenty.”

Mo Xiuchen’s tall figure was lazily leaning back in his chair, his right arm resting on the back of Wen Ran’s chair, casually and naturally drawing her into the crook of his arm.

Wen Ran was busy serving dishes to her dad and brother, her eyes smiling brilliantly: “Dad, bro, it’s been a long time since I’ve cooked. If it doesn’t taste good, just bear with it and don’t you dare complain.”

“How could it not taste good?” Gu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked Wen Jin with a smile, “Ah Jin, does it taste good?”

“Of course, the food Ranran makes is the tastiest.” Wen Jin praised without hesitation. He still remembered the first time he tasted the food Ranran cooked; it was soon after he had woken up from a coma lasting several days following a car accident.

Ranran had brought food to the hospital, which he ate in his ward.

At that time, besides his surprise, he felt an overwhelming tenderness towards Ranran.

“Brother, if it tastes good, eat more, you’ve lost weight these last couple of days.” Wen Ran pursed her lips and added more meat to his bowl – Wen Jin had indeed lost weight.

Despite the fatigue that couldn’t be concealed in his handsome features, Wen Jin still wore a gentle smile, his demeanor unspeakably warm and elegant, “Alright, Uncle Gu and I will finish all these dishes.”

After dining with them, Wen Ran went upstairs to check on the three little ones asleep. Mo Xiuchen, Gu Yan, and Wen Jin sat down in the living room to talk business.

“We’ve gone through the hospital’s surveillance footage, but there’s nothing suspicious to be found,” Mo Xiuchen’s handsome brows furrowed slightly, a stern look on his face, “If the problem isn’t at the hospital level, it’s going to be even harder to investigate.”

“Hmm, Zhixing and Ah Mu have gone to the prison, hoping to find some clues from Li En,” Wen Jin said with a serious expression between her brows.

Every day the truth remains uncovered adds another day of loss to their pharmaceutical factory.

So far, the losses from cancelled orders have already exceeded tens of millions, not to mention the obstacles faced by the new drug’s launch…

“Li En is unlikely to speak unless we use some special methods to make him talk,” Mo Xiuchen said, a sharpness flashing through his slightly narrowed deep eyes, his tone somber.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jin’s eyes flickered slightly: “Special methods?”

“If it really is Li En, it certainly isn’t just his doing. Fu Jingyi had connections with some officials and lived comfortably for decades,” Gu Yan analyzed calmly. “If Li En had help, it’s unlikely that it would be connections made after he was imprisoned. It’s more likely from before.”

“Dad, I agree with your analysis,” Mo Xiuchen expressed his agreement with Gu Yan.

Wen Jin frowned and asked, “Should we tell Zhixing about this, to let him look for clues from previous incidents?”

“We can tell him. As the person in charge of this case, if Zhixing can uncover the truth before the special investigation team, that would be better.”

Mo Xiuchen’s mouth curled into a cold smirk. He had always been puzzled by the accident this time—the hospital’s and the drug administration’s shirking of responsibility and the determination that the problem lay with the Wen Family, expecting Wen Jin to take responsibility—all of it seemed so odd.

Even at the beginning, they refused to let Kangning Hospital get involved.

Meanwhile, Gu Kai was driven by the hospital driver to Fang Zhiwei’s home.

He glanced at his wristwatch and pulled out his phone to dial Fang Zhiwei’s number.

Fang Zhiwei had been waiting for his call. As soon as the phone rang, it was picked up, and her voice came through the phone: “Ah Kai, I’m coming down right now to open the door for you.”

Gu Kai heard her running around in the room and going downstairs.

He grunted in acknowledgment, ending the call and instructed the driver waiting by his side: “Wait here for me for a while.”

“Sure, Young Master Gu.”

The driver answered with a smile, got out of the car, and opened the door for him.

It was indeed Fang Zhiwei who ran downstairs to open the door for him. Gu Kai glanced at her in pajamas as they both walked into the living room, “Is Uncle Fang resting already?”

He looked around the living room and didn’t see Professor Fang.

Fang Zhiwei followed him and explained softly, “My father has been feeling a bit unwell these past two days. He rested after taking a walk following dinner.”

“Uncle Fang is unwell?” Concern appeared on Gu Kai’s handsome face, “Then why not go to the hospital for a check-up?”

Fang Zhiwei gestured towards the sofa, indicating for him to sit down before they continued the conversation.

Gu Kai nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down. Fang Zhiwei picked up the teapot from the coffee table, poured two glasses of water, handed one to Gu Kai, and took the other as she sat down.

“We went for a check-up the day before yesterday, at the People’s Hospital,” Fang Zhiwei explained and seeing the surprise on Gu Kai’s face, she forced a smile, not quite naturally, “My dad said, since you and I are no longer related, he didn’t want to trouble you and Uncle Gu at Kangning Hospital anymore.”

Gu Kai paused for a moment, then gently asked, “How were the check-up results? Is Uncle Fang’s health alright?”

Fang Zhiwei lowered her eyes, did not answer Gu Kai’s question, but put down the cup in her hand, stood up and said, “Wait for me for a moment, I’ll go upstairs to get something.”
