Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict - Chapter 440

Chapter 440: 439 Rumors

“You have no basis in fact, yet you initiated these rumors, and now you’re here questioning us. I’m the one who wants an explanation from you. Evidence for everything you’ve published in your newspapers and magazines, where is it?”

Everyone was shocked as Gu Kai not only didn’t explain himself but unexpectedly turned the questions back on them. His tone was frigid, and his charisma was intimidatingly cold.

They all froze simultaneously.

For a moment, no one knew how to answer his question. Gu Kai swept his keen eyes over the crowd and said firmly, “Ranran is my sister, the sibling I’ve been searching for years, but not in the way you’ve written. The answer you want will be given at the press conference this afternoon. At the same time, we will sue the rumormongers…”

“Gu Kai seems like a completely different person today. If he’s usually this cold and serious with his patients, they would probably be scared senseless.”

Mother Bai watched Gu Kai on screen as he glared at the journalists, his fury fully exposed. Seeing him like this, he bore quite a resemblance to Mo Xiuchen’s icy prestige.

“Those reckless journalists deserve this. Gu Kai is doing a great job.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes were full of admiration. On the screen, the image then shifted to the MS Group Building.

Luo Haofeng and Mo Zixuan appeared in front of the reporters, and what they said was consistent with what Gu Kai had explained. Addressing all the questions from reporters, they informed them that every query would be answered at the press conference in the afternoon.

“May I ask, given the severity of the situation, where is Mo General now?”

“Is Mo General hiding, or is he at home comforting his wife?”

“Mo General is away on business. He will naturally appear when it is necessary.” Luo Haofeng’s tone was indifferent, and there was a proud look on his face.

Next to him, Mo Zixuan was also serious. “I don’t know where you’ve heard these rumors from. Our lawyers will file a lawsuit against any media outlet that has spread untrue rumors – they will have to take responsibility…”

Last night, he promised Mo Xiuchen that if the scandal surfaced today, he would help suppress it. Until he was put in charge, he needed to cooperate with Mo Xiuchen.

However, the same question lingered in his heart as did in the journalists’: where was Mo Xiuchen today? Despite the situation, he didn’t show up, leaving everything to him and Luo Haofeng to handle. Could he be at home comforting Wen Ran?

The image of Wen Ran’s bright smile flashed before his eyes. Subconsciously frowning, he wondered what her reaction would be after seeing today’s newspaper.

At Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, Wen Jin was dealing with the journalists in the same way.

The press conference in the afternoon would be hosted by the MS Group. Gu Kai from Kangning Hospital and Wen Jin from Wen’s Pharmaceutical Company would both attend, and they would answer the journalists’ questions collectively on behalf of the two companies and the old and well-known Gu family.

They would also address the matter of the spread of the rumors.

When Wen Jin returned to his office, he saw Li Qian, who had taken leave as soon as she arrived at work, was at the office that day.

“President Wen, I can’t reach Ranran on the phone. How is she now?”

Looking worriedly at Wen Jin, whose face had turned gloomy, Li Qian asked. He had nodded and said softly, “Ranran isn’t in G City, Mo Xiuchen took her abroad last night. She will come back once all of this blows over.”

As he spoke, he walked to his desk and sat down.

Li Qian looked surprised then hesitated before asking, “Is what’s written in the newspaper true?”

On hearing this, Wen Jin’s expression slightly changed.

Seeing the icy look on his face, Li Qian had her answer. She sighed sadly, “I understand now.”

Wen Jin looked up at Li Qian and tried to smile, “Sister Li, you’re pregnant now. Go home and rest. With Mo Xiuchen around, Ranran will be fine.”

Mo Xiuchen was able to take Ranran away immediately, leaving behind the MS Group. What else could Wen Jin not be reassured about?

Even if, in the worst-case scenario, Ranran found out the truth, he believed that Mo Xiuchen, with his capabilities and bone-deep love for Ranran, could help her get through it.

However, they all hoped that day would never come. They yearned for Ranran’s illness to be cured and for her to become a perfectly healthy woman who could live a complete and happy life.

“I will stay and help out today, we’ll talk about it once this matter is over.”

Li Qian had spoken gently, treating Wen Ran like a younger sister. How could she rest at home when Ranran was going through all this?

“Sister Li, you must take care of yourself. Don’t go to the workshop and avoid contact with those medicinal ingredients.”

Li Qian was in a special condition. Theirs was a pharmaceutical factory, and some medicines could be harmful if she inhaled them.

“Don’t worry, I know.”

Li Qian smiled and left his office.

Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi had been pursued by the police all night. They were weary, but upon seeing the scandalous headlines, their fatigue vanished.

Xiao Wenqing looked at the posts on her phone, her cold, twisted smile appeared, “This is great, let’s see how Mo Xiuchen handles this. He married a woman who can never have children. Haha, I can only imagine the look on Mo Jingteng’s face.”

Wu Tianyi also had a smug look on his face, “If only we could see Mo Xiuchen’s expression now. And Wen Ran, she’s probably heartbroken. If it wasn’t for the cops chasing us, I’d want to go back to G City.”

They had barely managed to shake off the police last night and led them elsewhere before Wu Tianyi and Xiao Wenqing could find a temporary place to hide.

Fortunately, he had been prepared. He had bought properties in several cities.

This time, he chose a small city where the transportation options were limited and police investigations would be less thorough. It was conducive for them to hide.

Speaking of this, Xiao Wenqing’s smile disappeared and she said bitterly, “That bitch, Tong Shishi, when this is over, I’ll make her pay. She took our money and then betrayed us.”

“Your son is also to blame for this. Luckily, I perceived her unusual tone last night, and after asking someone in G City, I found out Mo Zixuan and Mo Xiuchen had gone to her.”

Anger could be heard in Wu Tianyi’s voice. If Mo Zixuan wasn’t Xiao Wenqing’s son, he would’ve dealt with him a long time ago.

Dealing with Mo Zixuan was much easier than dealing with Mo Xiuchen.

“Zixuan’s actions are only a temporary measure. He sent me information. He’s doing all this to seize power from Mo Xiuchen sooner. Once he’s in control, we’ll never lack money in the future.”

“You used that number again?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianyi didn’t feel happy, but instead glared at Xiao Wenqing in anger.

Avoiding his gaze, Xiao Wenqing replied, “I only switched it on for a moment to check the messages and immediately turned it off afterwards. Even if Zixuan calls, I won’t pick up.”
