Chapter 180: Differences between Men and Women

Zhou Lin smiled brightly as if she was already the wife of the CEO of the MS Group, “Aunt Xiao, once MO Xiuchen's reputation is ruined, the Group will belong to Zixuan.”

Xiao Wenqing looked at the smile on her face, feeling a touch of contempt. If it were not for her unspeakable interest relationship with Zhou Mingfu, she would not have agreed to let Zhou Lin enter the MO family. At least, she would not agree to her and Zixuan's marriage before finding out the gender of her child.

Her smile faded, and she resumed her dignified demeanor, “You have to try harder with Zixuan. Take advantage of the fact that Wen Ran and Zixuan are not related now, you have to make him fond of you. If Wen Ran divorces MO Xiuchen, she might go after Zixuan again.”

In reality, Xiao Wenqing was afraid that once MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran divorced, her son MO Zixuan would reignite his hope.

Zhou Lin's face fluctuated slightly. Just as she was about to say something, her phone started to ring. She apologized to Xiao Wenqing with a gesture, took out her mobile phone, and was slightly confused when she saw the call was from her father, she pressed the answer button: “Hello, Dad!”

“Ah Lin, something happened.”

The voice of Zhou Mingfu quickly came over the phone waves.

Zhou Lin was startled, and without thinking looked over at Xiao Wenqing who was sitting beside her, closing her eyes and massaging her temples. She asked with concern, “Dad, what happened?”

“I sent someone to the hospital to capture Wen Ran, but she not only escaped, those two people were also caught by Gu Kai.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lin stood up abruptly from the sofa, “Dad, why would you send someone to the hospital to capture her? The hospital is Gu family's territory, Gu Kai has always been very good to Wen Ran because of MO Xiuchen.”

Xiao Wenqing's brow furrowed, she stopped her massage and opened her eyes to look at Zhou Lin.

“It's all because Wen Ran secretly summoned those medicinal material merchants, and secretly discussed something with them. I called them last night, but none of them answered, I was in a hasty, so I thought of capturing her. Even if Wen Jin got evidence of my bribery to those merchants, she would not dare to confront me as long as we had Wen Ran.”

Zhou Lin frowned unhappily. She had previously urged Zhou Mingfu to retreat, but he didn't listen.

Now that something had happened. If the people whom he sent confessed his actions, wouldn't that make MO Zixuan dislike her even more? Thinking of this, her tone chilled slightly, “Dad, what are you planning to do now? The people were caught by Gu Kai, they will surely confess you. If Wen Jin investigates it, she might uncover the past incidents as well.”

“I intend to leave G City for now, go somewhere else to hide.”

Zhou Mingfu only knew that the two stupid women were caught by Gu Kai, but he did not know if they confessed about him. Even if they didn't confess, Wen Jin must have gotten evidence from the hands of those medicinal material merchants and will not let him off easily.

He didn't want to go to jail.

“That's good, you better leave tonight. You need to be careful. If those two confessed about you, they will surely think of this possibility, and may be waiting for you at your doorstep.”

The gears in Zhou Lin's mind were spinning rapidly, she only wished Zhou Mingfu could escape as quickly as possible and not implicate her.

“I know. By the way, is your mother-in-law at home? Let her answer the phone, I have something to tell her.”

Zhou Lin was taken aback, she looked at Xiao Wenqing sitting next to her with a blank expression, whispering: “Aunt Xiao, my dad has something to tell you.”

Xiao Wenqing took the phone, responding coldly. Zhou Lin couldn't hear what her father was saying to Xiao Wenqing. She saw Xiao Wenqing's face flash with anger, “This is impossible.”

Zhou Lin felt worried, afraid that her father had angered Xiao Wenqing. Not daring to interrupt their conversation, she could only wait anxiously.

A few seconds later, Xiao Wenqing angrily said to the phone, “Zhou Mingfu, don't push too hard.”

As she spoke, she got up angrily from the sofa. Zhou Lin watched, turning pale, and gently comforted: “Aunt Xiao, don't be angry.”

Xiao Wenqing gave her a cold stare, while listening to Zhou Mingfu, she walked quickly out of her room, leaving Zhou Lin standing stiffly in the room, her heart hanging in her throat.

Leaving Wen Jin's sickroom, MO Xiuchen walked ahead in cold indifference, paying no mind to Wen Ran trailing behind him.

The atmosphere between the two was chilly and condensed.

MO Xiuchen remained silent, and naturally so did Wen Ran. She was somewhat upset about the things he had said to her brother in the sickroom earlier.

Her brother had suffered such severe injuries because of her and nearly lost his life. Now, he was wracked with guilt as he watched her repeatedly fall victim to schemes, utterly powerless to help.

MO Xiuchen really shouldn't have said those things that agitated her brother.

They left the hospital in silence, heading to the parking lot. MO Xiuchen opened the passenger's side door, his thin lips forming a cool line. He said nothing.

Wen Ran bent down and got into the car, reaching over to fasten her seatbelt.

Only after MO Xiuchen had shut the door for her did he circle the car to slide into the driver's seat. He didn't immediately buckle his seatbelt. Instead, he turned slightly, watching Wen Ran closely beneath the dim light.

Wen Ran looked down, not meeting his gaze.

After a while, he broke the silence, his low voice filled with withheld emotion.

“Ranran, in the future, keep some distance from your brother.”

Wen Ran's head snapped up. She looked at MO Xiuchen, surprise written all over her face.

Meeting his dark, cold gaze, she puckered her brow. Her normally gentle voice was tinged with confusion and disapproval. “He is my brother. Why should I keep a distance?”

She couldn't understand.

If it were any other man, she definitely would've agreed to keep her distance. But Wen Jin was different; he was her brother, the only relative she had left in this world.

MO Xiuchen looked at Wen Ran's clear, water-like eyes and felt a sudden gloom in his heart. He couldn't tell her that she's not Wen Jin's real sister, and Wen Jin wasn't her real brother either.

Even after having lived together for over a decade, they had no blood relation.

At least, now was not the time for her to learn about her true origin. He fell silent for a while before murmuring, “Even if he's your brother, there should be some boundaries between men and women.”

Hearing his explanation, Wen Ran's eyebrows knitted even more. She looked at

MO Xiuchen's cold eyes and stern features, noting his apparent discomfort. She remembered the harsh words he had spoken to her brother in the sickroom. Wetting her lips, she tried to maintain a calm, gentle tone, “MO Xiuchen, I can agree to anything you ask, but not this. I can't do it.”

Moxiuchen's eye shifted as his hand, resting on the steering wheel, seemed to grip it a little tighter. His dark voice held a trace of annoyance. “All I'm asking is for you to keep some distance from him, not to sever your sibling relationship.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Ran's face blanched. She stubbornly pursed her lips and said forcefully, “My brother protected my life with his own body in that car accident. If he hadn't been there, I might have died with my parents. The one lying in the hospital all day wouldn't have been me, it would have been my brother. ”

In other words, no matter what reason Moxiuchen had, it would be impossible for her to keep a distance from her brother.

Moxiuchen's handsome face hardened at this. The closer Wen Ran and Wen Jin were, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't help feeling jealous when he recalled seeing her hold Wen Jin's hand and Wen Jin gently stroking her head in the hospital room…

And remembering that Wen Jin's feelings for her weren't completely of a brother-sister nature, jealousy overwhelmed him and he blurted out, “He's actually not…”

He abruptly stopped speaking. Seeing Wen Ran's intense gaze fixed on him, to conceal the half-spoken words, he irrationally asked, “So you would rather divorce me than keep your distance from your brother, is that right?” The atmosphere inside the car suddenly grew tense following his words..
