Chapter 2454 - 258
Chapter 2454: Chapter 258
Listening to his reluctance, Momo’s heart ached once more.
But thinking that he took the time to contact her, every second was precious.
No matter how unwilling she was, she had to hang up the phone.
She waved to him with a smile, "Bye, I’m hanging up."
Ye Zhan’s handsome face faded from the phone screen.
Momo’s warm heart suddenly turned cold.
It was like being splashed with a basin of cold water.
Momo looked at the captured screenshot from the video call with him.
She was in the frame with him.
Looking at it, she found it amusing.
The notification sound chimed.
It was a photo sent by Ye Zhan.
He sent over a dozen pictures in a row.
Two of them were screenshots similar to hers.
The other few were his selfies.
The first one showed him strikingly handsome.
Then another message came through.
Momo saved the photos onto her phone one by one, restraining herself from messaging him again.
Since that day until the New Year, Ye Zhan had not contacted Momo again.
Every night before bed, Momo would look at his photos.
Feng Yize had arranged the photos in order back then, but they were one by one.
Momo, having nothing better to do, made them into an album and added music.
Every day, listening to the music, looking at him, the days passed in longing.
Since that day when Mo Xin went to the horse riding arena with her, she had been trying hard every day to return to the Mo family.
She told Mo Ziye that Ji Anyun called her, wanting her help to deal with Momo.
She firmly expressed that she would no longer do anything to harm her family members.
As if to prove her repentance, every now and then she would buy baby toys and baby supplies to send to the Mo family, or find Ziye and Qingqing at the company to give to their baby.
After being rejected several times, on the first day of the New Year’s holiday.
Mo Xin dialed Wen Ran’s phone early in the morning.
Because it was an unknown number, Wen Ran’s phone was snatched by Mo Xiuchen.
"Ranran, you have breakfast, I’ll answer the phone for you."
"Okay."
With Wen Ran’s words just finished, Qingqing covered her mouth feeling uncomfortable, stood up from the seat, and ran out of the dining room into the bathroom.
"I’ll go check on Qingqing."
Before she could speak, Mo Ziye had already gone to the bathroom.
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Mo Ziye, then withdrew his gaze and pressed the answer button, lightly saying "Hello."
There was two seconds of silence on the other end of the line.
Then Mo Xin’s pained voice came through, with a sobbing tone, "Dad, my stomach hurts, please help me."
Mo Xiuchen’s expression slightly changed as he frowned. Mo Xin’s voice didn’t sound pretended. He asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
"I’m at home..."
...
"Xiuchen, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Mo Xiuchen hang up the phone, Wen Ran asked with concern.
Mo Xiuchen smiled warmly, stood up and said, "Mo Xin said her stomach hurts, I’ll go with Qing Feng to check on her. You continue having breakfast."
"I’ll go with you."
Wen Ran hesitated and said.
Mo Xiuchen shook his head, "No need, it’s just taking her to the hospital."
"She’s not a child anymore, it wouldn’t be convenient for just you and Qing Feng. I’ll go with you... she’s done so much during this time, although it’s with ulterior motives, she made such a good outward effort, we should at least give some response."
"Ranran... alright, you come with me."
Wen Ran told Momo, "Momo, once Qingqing comes out, ask her what she wants to eat, let Ziye make it for her, I’m going with your dad to check."
Mo Xin’s stomach was really in pain. When Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran arrived, she was in agony, her face pale, sweating profusely.
Upon seeing them, she called out "Dad, Mom" and tears rolled down her eyes.
Wen Ran instinctively furrowed her brow.
After all, she raised her with her own hands, she quickly stepped forward to lift her from the bed, "Hold on a bit, we’ll take you to the hospital."
"Mom."
Mo Xin tearfully called out, pitiful like an abandoned kitten or puppy.
On the way to the hospital, she held onto Wen Ran’s hand tightly, refusing to let go.
At the entrance of the hospital, she choked up saying, "Dad, Mom, you don’t have to accompany me inside, I’m not worthy of being your daughter, not worthy of such concern from you."
"We’re at the hospital already, go inside and see the doctor first." Mo Xiuchen spoke with a stern face.
As they got off the car, they happened to meet Gu Kai and Gu Zhitong coming to work.
Learning that Mo Xin’s stomach hurt, Gu Kai immediately arranged for her to be checked for acute appendicitis, and after the surgery.
Gu Kai asked Mo Xiuchen if he wanted Mo Xin to be arranged in a VIP ward.
Mo Xiuchen shook his head, casually saying, "No need, a regular ward is fine."
"Xiuchen, why would you and Ranran bring Mo Xin to the hospital, could it be that she..."
In the office, only Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen were there. He handed Mo Xiuchen a cigarette, which the latter refused.
He then lit a cigarette for himself.
"You’re overthinking it." Mo Xiuchen’s face showed no extra expressions, "She called Ranran’s phone in the morning, I answered..."
"I thought you were already moved by her. Even though Mo Xin was raised by both you and Ranran, she might still be influenced by hereditary genes."
Gu Kai said pessimistically, "I think she’s too materialistic, doesn’t understand gratitude, once the inner demon is born, it’s hard to return to the original... However, she’s done so much repenting now, Ranran will certainly be soft-hearted."
Although not a sister grown up together, Gu Kai understood Wen Ran.
Besides, as a mother, Mo Xin is not biologically related, yet was raised by Wen Ran.
Once, treated as a biological daughter.
She was sure to be more easily soft-hearted than them.
"That’s why I brought Mo Xin to the hospital." Mo Xiuchen’s lips formed a cold arc.
Not only do they understand Ranran, but Mo Xin also understands.
"I’ve heard that some Ji Anyun has been in contact with Mo Xin?"
"Who did you hear that from?"
"Ziye mentioned it a few days ago."
Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, smiling as he said.
Seeing his arrogant expression, Mo Xiuchen said, "I didn’t know about that, Ziye has been busy taking care of Qingqing these days, still has time to chat with you?"
"Of course, be it with me or Ah Jin, Ziye is closer to us than you, didn’t you know that long ago?"
Gu Kai caught the opportunity to boast proudly in front of Mo Xiuchen.
However, his pride was not without reason.
Since young, Mo Ziye competed with Mo Xiuchen for Wen Ran, the father and son were like rivals, being young Mo Xiuchen was not his equal.
Naturally, he needed strategists.
And Wen Jin and Gu Kai became his best strategists and backing.
Mo Xiuchen snorted, "What’s there to show off about, when is Zinan coming back, wasn’t he supposed to return for Spring Festival before?"
"Things got delayed over there, he’ll be back after the New Year."
"That Tang Zhixian, I see now that your relationship with him isn’t inferior to your relationship with Ziye, are you planning to replace Tang Jinchen?"
Mo Xiuchen asked with a smile.
Tang Zhixian is also quite a good young man.
He even liked Gu Zhitong all along.
But a missed opportunity is a missed opportunity.
"Apart from Tongtong not liking him now, he’s a rare talent. Kangning Hospital needs such talents, I have no reason not to use him."
Mo Xiuchen nodded, "He truly is excellent, but he still likes Tongtong, aren’t you afraid unnecessary trouble will arise in the future?"
"That’s Tang Jinchen’s worry, not mine."
Gu Kai’s rather unethical remark made Mo Xiuchen’s lips twitch slightly, "Poor Tang Jinchen."
"So, you’re a hundred percent satisfied with Ye Zhan?"
Gu Kai raised his eyebrows and countered.
Mo Xiuchen maintained his composure, "What I feel doesn’t matter, Momo is smitten with him, besides supporting them, what else can I do but break them up?"
"You could try, it’s a form of test."
Gu Kai smirked mischievously.
Mo Xiuchen glared at him, "I’m afraid it won’t test their love, but rather hurt the father-daughter relationship first."
Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai chatted for a while before Wen Ran came back to his office.
Seeing only Wen Ran come in, Mo Xiuchen immediately stood up from the sofa, "Ranran, why are you alone, is Tongtong busy again?"
"Momo came to the hospital, Tongtong went with her to the ward to see Mo Xin." Wen Ran smiled as she answered.
As they spoke, she walked to the sofa, took the water Mo Xiuchen handed her and took a sip.
Mo Xiuchen waited for her, then placed the cup back on the table and let her sit.
Seeing Mo Xiuchen’s attentive care towards Wen Ran, unchanged for decades, Gu Kai’s smile deepened.
