Chapter 82 - Talk to My Brother

Wen Ran suddenly raised her head that had been lowered.

In front of her eyes was the man's exquisite facial features. His eyes were deep and dark, different from his usual profound and indifferent look. They were burning with passion and earnestness. Looking into his eyes, a trace of softness welled up in her heart for no apparent reason.

"Xiuchen used to dislike women, so I don't know about the treatment effect. Maybe, you can make his illness better!" Gu Kai's conversation with her that day suddenly flashed into her mind. Her little face turned red again, and her heart started to beat wildly.

"Wen Ran!"

The man's magnetic voice sounded in her ear. Although it was deep, it carried an unquestionable domineering tone, not allowing her to escape.

She blinked in confusion and said softly, "I still have to go to the hospital and talk to my brother."

"What are you going to talk about?"

Mo Xiuchen asked, his eyes fixed on her.

He knew that she wouldn't go back on her word because of Wen Jin's words. However, the reason she didn't renege was that she was a person who kept her promises, and it had nothing to do with anything else!

This fact made him feel depressed.

He stared at her blushing little face and her clear and pure eyes. Thinking that she had just experienced her boyfriend's betrayal not long ago, it was impossible for her to fall in love with him in such a short time...

However, as long as she stayed by his side, he was confident that he could make her fall in love with him. Mo Xiuchen still had that much confidence.

Thinking of this, the depression in his heart dissipated like clouds and mist.

Wen Ran thought for a moment and said softly, "I'll make it clear to my brother and ask him not to look for you again in the future."

Mo Xiuchen smiled, curling his lips. "Alright, I'll take you to the hospital. When I left the hospital, Aunt Zhang just delivered the dinner. By the time we get to the hospital, your brother should just be finishing his dinner."

"Okay."

Wen Ran nodded.

Mo Xiuchen started the car. Wen Ran turned slightly to look out of the car window, wondering what he meant by the words that he wouldn't let her be a widow for the rest of her life.

She found that she was easily disturbed by his words. While her thoughts were wandering, Mo Xiuchen's voice suddenly reached her ears. "You said last time that you lost your memory due to an illness when you were six. What kind of illness was it?"

Wen Ran turned her head and looked at Mo Xiuchen's handsome profile. She said lightly, "My mother told me that I had a high fever. I don't know what other illnesses I had."

"Do you have any photos of yourself when you were a child?"

Mo Xiuchen turned his eyes to look at her and asked casually.

"No. I was fat and ugly before I was six. I lost weight after that illness. I didn't have any photos taken before."

These were all things told to her by her parents. Wen Ran couldn't remember anything before she was six, and it was impossible for her to know whether she was fat or thin, ugly or beautiful before she was six.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Wen Ran's eyes, and she stared at Mo Xiuchen intently.

"Just asking casually. As far as I know, your family isn't from G City originally. You moved here sixteen years ago."

Mo Xiuchen's gaze was fixed on the front. His large hand with distinct knuckles was in control of the steering wheel. Talking didn't affect his driving.

Wen Ran nodded. She knew this. "Yes. After I had that serious illness, I was always afraid of the cold. So my dad moved our whole family to G City. He said the climate here was suitable for me to recuperate."

Although she couldn't remember anything before she was six, she remembered everything after that illness. Her parents moved to G City because of her. It was only after coming to G City that her father quit his job and started a factory.

***

After arriving at the hospital, Mo Xiuchen didn't accompany Wen Ran to Wen Jin's ward. Instead, he went to Gu Kai's office and let her go to the ward by herself.

"Brother, how are you feeling today?"

Wen Ran walked to the bedside and asked with a smile.

A gentle smile was on Wen Jin's face. He looked at her gently with a mild gaze and said, "Not bad. How about you? Did anyone in the pharmaceutical factory give you a hard time?"

"No. By the way, Zhou Mingfu had a car accident. It is said that his calf was broken. He called me and said that he wanted to take a leave of absence for a while. Did you ask him something when he came to see you this afternoon?"

Wen Ran picked up the water cup on the table and went to the water dispenser to get some water.

A trace of surprise flashed across Wen Jin's face. Then he frowned and said in a calm tone, "I asked him a few questions. Why did he suddenly have a car accident? Even if he had an accident, he isn't the kind of person who would take the initiative to ask for leave, especially at such a crucial moment."

Wen Ran returned to the bedside and fed the water to Wen Jin's mouth. He smiled and took a sip from her hand. After watching her put the water cup back on the table, he said softly, "Zhou Mingfu is always full of tricks. Either he was so guilty and flustered that he had an accident, or he had the accident on purpose. Both possibilities exist. Be careful and cautious about the matters in the pharmaceutical factory. Don't be negligent."

Wen Ran furrowed her brows. "I also think it's strange. Zhou Mingfu also said that he couldn't attend the pharmaceutical trade fair this weekend and asked Zhou Lin to go with me."

"Take Sister Li with you and choose two other people. Don't take anyone from Zhou Mingfu's side."

Wen Jin's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of apology appeared in his eyes. "If it weren't for my leg like this, you wouldn't have to work so hard. Ranran, I've thought about it. I can't wait until my leg is completely recovered to go back to the company. Tomorrow, ask someone to bring me some materials..."

"Brother, no. You just woke up, and all aspects of your body need to recuperate. I can handle the affairs of the pharmaceutical factory now. I'll also be careful with Zhou Mingfu."

A trace of darkness flashed in Wen Jin's eyes. "Before that car accident, Dad and I had already discovered that there was something wrong with Zhou Mingfu. I investigated him secretly. Originally, I could have obtained the evidence that day."

Wen Ran's eyes widened in surprise. Looking at Wen Jin's handsome face with a hint of coldness, she asked in astonishment, "Brother, so does that mean Zhou Mingfu knew that you were investigating him, so he..."
