Chapter 1339: 1338 Favoritism in defending someone’s faults

“What are you asking me?”

Wen Jin walked towards the sofa with a smile, her gaze sweeping over the few people seated there, looking at Wen Ran with a gentle expression. “Ranran, what’s wrong?”

Wen Ran gave a slight smile and patted the space beside her. Wen Jin walked over and sat down next to her.

“Brother, have some water first.”

Wen Ran poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, speaking softly, “We were just talking about Jing Xiaocha’s mother and the situation with her brother.”

Wen Jin’s eyes flickered, then he looked towards Gu Kai.

Gu Kai chuckled lightly, “I’m not very familiar with Jing Xiaocha, and I know very little about her situation. Ah Jin, you know more about Jing Xiaocha than I do, so you tell Ranran about it.”

“I don’t know her well either.”

Wen Jin frowned, seeing the curiosity on Wen Ran’s face, he smiled again and asked, “Ranran, what do you want to know?”

“Huh?”

Wen Ran blinked in confusion, thought for a moment, then said, “Jing Xiaocha’s mother jumped from a building, and with her brother and sister-in-law in such a situation, I was wondering if she needs any help. After all, she provided that clue that day, which cleared your and the pharmaceutical factory’s names. We owe her a favor.”

“Ranran, you’re right, and I think the same. However, Jing Xiaocha doesn’t want help. She said she can manage her mother’s funeral arrangements herself. She only asked me to help see if Zhang Jinlei can avoid prison.”

“Is it for her nephew?”

“Not entirely, partly for Zhang Minghui. Another reason is for her; she said she doesn’t want to have any further ties with the Zhang Family. If Zhang Jinlei can avoid prison, she won’t have to deal with Zhang Minghui.”

“I see.” Wen Ran paused, then continued, “Brother, tell me Jing Xiaocha’s home address. I’ll find some time to visit her in the next few days. If there’s any way I can help her, I will. To repay her favor, is that okay?”

“Hmm, I think Ranran’s idea is good.”

Mo Xiuchen walked over with large strides, a hooked smile on his lips as he praised Wen Ran.

Bai Yiyi saw him coming and immediately stood up, “Mo General, please sit, I’ll go accompany the little ones.”

Wen Ran shifted towards Bai Yiyi’s former seat, making room for Mo Xiuchen to sit down in her place.

“Ah Jin, you’re busy with work, so you won’t have time to take care of Jing Xiaocha’s matters, but we can’t let people think that we don’t know how to be grateful. Let Ranran do it; Jing Xiaocha is a girl, and will find it easier to talk to Ranran than you.”

Gu Kai followed Bai Yiyi with his gaze for a few steps before returning his attention and agreeing with the suggestion.

Initially, Wen Jin did not want to send Wen Ran on this errand, but hearing Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai speaking like this, he could only agree, “Alright, just as you said. Ranran, I’ll send Jing Xiaocha’s home address to your phone later. It’s a good thing I just came from the police station, where I asked Zhixing.”

“Brother, you went to the police station for Jing Xiaocha’s matter?”

“No, it’s about Qian Songnan. He was reported for embezzlement and other offenses. He planned to flee with some money, brought a shipment of valuable herbs to our factory, and then got taken away by the police. I went to get an update on the situation.”

Wen Jin explained calmly. Wen Ran was startled by this news, and Mo Xiuchen beside her also looked slightly surprised, “Qian Songnan wanted to run away; what about his son?”

“He was discharged this afternoon and left Kangning Hospital.”

Gu Kai explained lazily.

“Does Qian Songnan intend to take his son and flee the country?” Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into a faint sneer.

Jiang Liu’s phone rang; he stood up and walked to the side to answer the call.

Seeing Jiang Liu walk away to take the call, a sly glint flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes as she got up and sat next to Gu Kai, asking curiously, “Brother, did you take my advice and give Yiyi a gift?”

“Don’t mention that.” Gu Kai frowned and pretended to be displeased as he looked at her, lowering his voice, “She told me to give her cash next time, not to waste money.”

“Haha, really?”

“Of course, really. When have I ever lied to you?” Gu Kai raised his hand and flicked her forehead.

“Ah Kai, if you keep bullying Ranran, I won’t let you off the hook.” Mo Xiuchen, seeing this, immediately pulls Wen Ran back protectively to his side, and soothingly rubs her forehead, “Ranran, does it hurt?”

Gu Kai rolled his eyes, “Mo Xiuchen, you really should stop stirring the pot; a light flick like that, how could it hurt Ranran?”

“Of course it hurts.” Mo Xiuchen was protective and glared unwillingly at Gu Kai.

Wen Jin looked at Mo Xiuchen speechlessly and said to Gu Kai, “Don’t do that to Ranran next time. Try it on Bai Yiyi, I guarantee no one will bother you.”

“Yeah, not bad, you go flick Bai Yiyi and see if it hurts.” Mo Xiuchen glared at him displeasedly while Wen Ran, chuckling, wriggled free from his embrace, “Mo Xiuchen, don’t be so dramatic, really, it doesn’t hurt.”

“See, Ranran said it doesn’t hurt.” Gu Kai raised his eyebrows at Mo Xiuchen, with a look that said you’re exaggerating.

Not far away, Mo Zixuan yelled, “Everyone’s here, can we start the meal? The kids are all hungry.”

“Let’s eat first, we can talk after the meal.” Wen Jin stood up smiling, too lazy to look at Mo Xiuchen, the man who loves showing off his child and his affection.

Gu Kai also stood up, “Right, let’s eat first, otherwise if I listen to Mo Xiuchen go on, I’ll be full without eating.”

“It doesn’t matter if you leave now; anyway, I’ll have someone put the bill under your name.” Mo Xiuchen smiled like a fox, said his piece, and walked out from the sofa with Ranran.

Wen Jin asked in surprise, “Who’s actually treating? I remember Ah Kai said it was you treating.”

“I never said that. Why would I treat for Ah Kai and Bai Yiyi’s happy occasion?” Mo Xiuchen looked amusedly at Wen Jin.

Gu Kai gave him a sidelong glance and tugged Wen Jin away, “Ah Jin, I have something to tell you after we eat.”

Wen Ran watched as Wen Jin was pulled away by Gu Kai and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Ranran, what are you laughing at?”

Mo Xiuchen gazed down gently at her.

Wen Ran smiled with her eyes and crooked her finger, Mo Xiuchen immediately bent down, bringing his ear close to her.

“This morning, when my brother said he was coming here, I had a feeling he wanted you to treat, didn’t expect it to be true.”

Mo Xiuchen affectionately stroked her head, “Eat more later.”

“Daddy, hold mommy’s hand.”

Not far away, Tongtong saw Mo Xiuchen holding Wen Ran’s hand, also grabbed Bai Yiyi by the hand and ran in front of Gu Kai, asking him to hold mommy’s hand.

A flicker of surprise crossed Gu Kai’s eyes, he turned to look at Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, and immediately understood.

“Daddy, hold mommy’s hand.”

Tongtong, seeing that her dad wasn’t responding, raised her voice.

The people around were amused by Tongtong’s cuteness, and Bai Yiyi, seeing everyone laughing, blushed and covered Tongtong’s mouth, “Tongtong, stop it.”

“Can daddy hold both Tongtong and mommy’s hands?”
