Chapter 2117: Chapter 2116: Don’t Hold It Against Me
Wen Jin responded with a ’hmm’, set down his water cup, and stood up.
"I have to head back to the factory now. Ranran, looking after Xiaocha here will be a bit of a tough task for you."
Wen Jin and Wen Ran walked out of the office together, and Wen Jin casually closed the office door behind them.
Wen Ran chuckled, "I’m just waiting for the day you get married, I don’t mind the hard work."
"That day will come."
A warm smile appeared in Wen Jin’s eyes. Now that he understood his own heart, facing Ranran, he no longer felt the previous conflict.
Now, he truly and completely considers Ranran as his sister. Although they are not related by blood, Ranran is the one who grew up with him, the sister he has cherished for over ten years.
She is different from Jing Xiaocha.
"Of course, I know that day will come. I just mean, the sooner the better."
Wen Ran looked at Wen Jin with her eyes curved into crescents.
In fact, just being able to hear Wen Jin say something like this made Wen Ran very happy.
Ever since that car accident, she married Mo Xiuchen for the sake of the pharmaceutical factory. From then on, the family only had her brother left.
Wen Ran always felt uneasy, thinking Wen Jin was too lonely by himself.
Fortunately, later Jing Xiaocha appeared. With her pure and kind nature, she always followed Wen Jin around like a little sidekick, taking care of him and making him happy.
Caring for him without any reservations.
Wen Jin smiled indulgently, reaching out to pat her head, "Hurry to the hospital room. I really have to get back to the factory. Don’t let Xiaocha touch the computer; let her rest well these few days."
"Brother, you are getting more and more nagging."
Wen Ran said that and then dashed away.
Watching her small figure run away, Wen Jin’s smile unconsciously deepened.
A voice in his heart silently said, Ranran, from now on, you are truly just my sister, my forever sister.

Wen Ran exited the elevator, coincidentally bumping into Jin Zheyu, who was coming out of the adjacent elevator with another man.
Jin Zheyu was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers and seemed slightly surprised to see her.
"Mrs. Mo, hello."
"Young Master Jin, here to visit a friend?"
Wen Ran smiled and greeted him.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jin Zheyu’s face, but he admitted frankly, "Mrs. Mo, I’m here to see Xiaocha. I only found out about her accident last night. It was because of me..."
Hearing the guilt in Jin Zheyu’s words, Wen Ran neither agreed nor disagreed, "Young Master Jin, you’re not entirely wrong to say it that way. Xiaocha’s accident does have something to do with you since it was because of you that Zheng Shirui started resenting her. But Xiaocha is so innocent. Even if she had any feelings for you, it would be understandable. But she never did, and yet she was hurt by your fiancée."
What she said deepened Jin Zheyu’s guilt even more.
His expression became more awkward.
"You don’t have to blame yourself. Xiaocha, being pure and kind, should not hold it against you. But, who is this?"
Wen Ran pretended not to recognize the man.
In reality, she had seen this man next to Jin Zheyu in a magazine before. If she hadn’t mistaken him, this should be Zheng Shirui’s father.
When asked, Jin Zheyu then remembered Zheng Liangzhu by his side and introduced them, "Mrs. Mo, this is Mr. Zheng Liangzhu, Chairman of Zheng International, and Miss Zheng Shirui’s father."
"Uncle, this is Wen Ran, the wife of Mo Xiuchen, President of Haochen Group..."
"Mrs. Mo, I’ve heard of you and Mo General’s great reputation. It’s a pleasure to finally meet..."
Wen Ran calmly interrupted Zheng Liangzhu’s words, unceremoniously saying, "Young Master Jin, I don’t oppose you visiting Xiaocha as her senior, but as for this Mr. Zheng, it’s better he doesn’t. Let’s not increase Miss Zheng’s hatred toward our Xiaocha; that would be troublesome."
"Mrs. Mo, it’s my fault for not teaching my daughter right, which led her to do such a thing. Please be the bigger person and overlook my little girl’s mistakes."
Wen Ran smiled instead of getting angry, her gaze steady as she looked at Zheng Liangzhu, "Mr. Zheng, you’ve exaggerated. Miss Zheng is an adult with her own thoughts and capabilities, an independent citizen. Violating the law and hurting the innocent is not something that can be dismissed with just a word of forbearance."
"Mrs. Mo..."
"If everything could be solved with a word of forbearance, then I’d like to find some people to do the same thing to Xiaocha that Miss Zheng did. Would Mr. Zheng not hold the same standards against me then?"
Wen Ran’s voice was clear and calm, not sharp at all, more like casual conversation.
However, Zheng Liangzhu’s face changed several times.
How could he agree to what Wen Ran suggested—to find some people to do to his daughter what she did to Jing Xiaocha...?
His daughter intended to ruin Jing Xiaocha.
Surely, he wouldn’t agree to letting the woman in front of him ruin his daughter?
Even though Jin Zheyu showed no outward reaction, he was laughing coldly inside. Zheng Liangzhu thought Jing Xiaocha was just an easy target because she was an orphan.
Little did he know, before even reaching the hospital room, he was choked by Wen Ran.
"It seems Mr. Zheng also finds it inappropriate. If that’s the case, Miss Zheng’s harm to Xiaocha can’t be settled with just forbearance."
"Mrs. Mo, everything is negotiable. My daughter did make a mistake, but fortunately, Jing Xiaocha wasn’t severely harmed. Do you think we could settle this privately?"
Zheng Liangzhu immediately changed his attitude.
Wen Ran shook her head lightly, "A private settlement isn’t for me to decide."
With that, she stepped forward and left.
A trace of anger flashed in Zheng Liangzhu’s eyes, feeling that Wen Ran was too arrogant. He was giving her face by asking her, yet she was disregarding him entirely.
"Uncle, you saw it yourself. Xiaocha’s friends do not welcome you. I suggest you don’t follow me to the hospital room, to avoid any unpleasantness."
Jin Zheyu said to Zheng Liangzhu after seeing Wen Ran walk away.
Zheng Liangzhu snorted coldly, "I absolutely can’t let Shirui go to jail. Jin Zheyu, Shirui is your girlfriend, you should know where you stand."
"If Uncle insists on saying that, then it’s better to let Zheng Shirui go to jail."
Jin Zheyu’s tone held not a shred of respect for his elder. He knew what deals Zheng Liangzhu and his father had made, but he would not compromise this time.
He just didn’t believe his father would allow a jail-bound woman to enter the Jin family and become their daughter-in-law.
"You..."
Zheng Liangzhu was so infuriated by Jin Zheyu that his face turned green.
Jin Zheyu, however, holding the bouquet, strode forward without paying any further attention to Zheng Liangzhu, who was angry enough to spew blood at the back.
After entering the hospital room, Wen Ran instructed the special nursing assistant to arrange a room on the upper floor for Jing Xiaocha to move into shortly.
The special nursing assistant acknowledged with an ’okay’ and went to make the arrangements immediately.
Jing Xiaocha looked at Wen Ran in surprise, "Sister Wen, are you changing my hospital room?"
"It wasn’t my idea, it was your Brother Wen’s. I just mentioned your thoughts to him, and he disagreed with you being discharged or transferred to another hospital. He said the days following your arm surgery are crucial, and he doesn’t feel assured with you staying at another hospital."
Wen Ran conveyed everything Wen Jin wanted Jing Xiaocha to know, "Xiaocha, moving to the upper floor means you won’t have to worry about affecting anyone else."
