“In my opinion, although we no longer have evidence of his prior collusion with suppliers and his bribery, if I can uncover it once, I can do it a second time. However, Zhou Mingfu is cunning and treacherous. Ranran, you must be careful.”

Wen Ran nodded heavily, deep shock in her heart.

She had not joined the company before and was unaware of everything. Turns out her brother had been investigating Zhou Mingfu all along…

After discussing company affairs, Wen Ran changed the subject, asking,

“Brother, I heard you met with MO Xiuchen this afternoon.”

Wen Jin's eyes dimmed slightly, he looked at her with a furrowed brow and instead of answering he asked, “MO Xiuchen told you? Then you must know why I went to see him.”

Wen Ran nodded, reaching out to grasp Wen Jin's large, steady hand. She leaned forward and said in a petulant tone, “Brother, when I first agreed to marry MO Xiuchen, I promised him that unless he proposed a divorce, I would be his wife for a lifetime.”

Wen Jin's expression abruptly darkened and Wen Ran quickly tried to appease him, “Brother, don't get angry yet. Let me finish.”

Wen Jin pressed his lips together, his handsome features shaded with a layer of coldness.

Wen Ran took a deep breath, a soft voice spilling out from between her red lips, “Brother, when I agreed to MO Zixuan's pursuit, you said his mother was a social climber, and that I wouldn't be happy if I married him. After our family fell into trouble, he got together with Zhou Lin. Although he came to explain that it was a setup, the undeniable truth was already laid out before me.”

“It was on that day, when the debt collectors blocked the factory gate, and

Zhou Mingfu took advantage of the chaos to coerce me into making a decision. At my most helpless, it was MO Xiuchen who helped me. He didn't force me but let me think for myself. So, I willingly married him.”

Wen Jin's entire body tensed. Although he hadn't witnessed the scene, he can imagine Wen Ran's helplessness and fragility. All these years, she has been lovingly cherished by them, sheltered from any hardships. Always the delicate flower thriving in a warm and protective greenhouse.

But overnight, she was obliged to shoulder a burden she could not manage and even had to sacrifice herself to save the company. His heart ached sharply at the thought of all this.

He flipped his palm and wrapped his hand around hers, that responsibility should not have had to be hers.

Wen Ran's voice continued, 'MO Xiuchen's truly been kind to me during the time we've spent together. Even after the financial problems in the factory were resolved, Zhou Mingfu wouldn't calm down, always causing trouble. I couldn't have suppressed Zhou Mingfu without MO Xiuchen.”

Wen Jin knew that if it weren't for MO Xiuchen's intervention, the Wen family would have long since become Zhou Mingfu's playthings. But did he really want to exchange his most cherished person for that? He couldn't willingly accept it.

“Brother, don't worry so much. Although MO Xiuchen and I don't have feelings for each other now, we can slowly cultivate them. He's a good person, much more mature and reliable than MO Zixuan. As for his illness, it's not incurable.”

As she said this, Wen Ran recalled MO Xiuchen's words at the factory gate, that he wouldn't let her remain a widow forever. In fact, she had always been in doubt whether MO Xiuchen was ill or not.

She didn't understand the matter between men and women, or the specifics about men's inability to perform. But in her understanding, if a man was impotent, it was supposed to mean impotence, not what MO Xiuchen was suggesting.

“Have you really decided to spend your life with MO Xiuchen?”

When Wen Jin noticed a blush spreading across her face, his gaze darkened.

“Brother, if MO Xiuchen changes his mind one day, I'll divorce him. But if I can spend a lifetime with him, it would mean he has fallen in love with your sister, isn't that something you no longer need to worry about?”

Wen Ran flirtatiously winked. Although she and MO Xiuchen didn't have feelings for each other, she believed that as long as she treated him sincerely, he wouldn't treat her too badly.

She believed all the things he had said these days.

Wen Jin affectionately caressed her hair, speaking heartbrokenly, “Ranran, brother knows you did this for the company, but I don't want you to feel wronged. I still hope you can reconsider my proposal, divorce MO Xiuchen. We can repay his money.”

“Brother, I don't feel wronged, really.”

Wen Ran tilted her head up, her bright eyes looking at him.

Wen Jin hesitated for a moment, then backed down a step, “Then promise me, if MO Xiuchen treats you badly, or if you decide to end this marriage, you must tell your brother.”

Even if it meant spending all his resources, he wanted her to be happy.

Wen Ran moved with emotion, throwing herself into his arms and hugging his waist, “Brother, you are so silly. Why are you so good to me!”

A momentary stiffness enveloped Wen Jin's body as he listened to MO Xiuchen's words echoing in his ears, 'If she she doesn't deserve the kind of brotherly love you've been giving her, protecting her with no regard for your own life…'

In Gu Kai's office, MO Xiuchen sat on a high-end swivel chair, his eyes narrowed as his handsome features darkened almost instantly. The door to the office opened, and Gu Kai, clad in a white lab coat, entered. Sensing the sudden stifling air in the office and the gloomy expression on MO Xiuchen's face, a look of confusion rose in his brows, “Xiuchen, what's wrong? Are you picking a fight with my computer?”

As he spoke, Gu Kai strode towards him.

Upon hearing the voice, MO Xiuchen lifted his head from the LCD monitor, swept his cold gaze over Gu Kai, then fixed his sharp gaze on the computer screen, as if intending to bore a hole through it.

Gu Kai blinked curiously, approaching the office desk. Tipping his head to see the screen, he suddenly broke into a grin, “So, this is why you're upset?”

MO Xiuchen swatted away Gu Kai's finger, which was pointing at the screen, shifted away his gaze, and asked coldly, “Finished checking the wards?”

Gu Kai nodded, “Yes, I've finished checking. Now I can knock off work. Are you inviting me to dinner? Let's go!”

MO Xiuchen leaned over and turned off the power directly, came out from behind the office desk, and said in a low voice, “You should first do a check on Wen Jin to see if his leg is permanently crippled.”

A severe twitch appeared at the corner of Gu Kai's lips as he looked at MO

Xiuchen's gloomy face, “Xiuchen, is it right to curse your uncle like that? If Wen Ran knew, she would definitely agree to her brother's proposal and divorce you.”

“They're not real siblings!”

MO Xiuchen retorted coldly, even if they've lived together for sixteen years. Wen Jin was not Wen Ran's real brother. Why should he hold her like that?

“Are you certain about this?”

Gu Kai had a touch of doubt in his eyes and two steps forward, he stood in front of MO Xiuchen, his eyes scrutinizing him.

Earlier when MO Xiuchen came to see him, he happened to be heading to the ward. So, he let MO Xiuchen wait in his office. But who knew that he actually accessed the surveillance footage of Wen Jin's ward, looking at the scene of the siblings' affection, he fell into a vat of vinegar..
