Cool CEO and his Model Wife

"What did you say?" Mo Lingtan angrily asked.

Mo Qiwn didn't kill Xia Xiulan.

It meant his gamble had failed.

Yue Wanwan knew about this and that was why she played the trick of this contract to lure him to take revenge for Xia Xiulan. After all, he helped Lee Xuiye to take revenge so Yue Wanwan thought he would also be able to take revenge for Xia Xiulan.

However, did she forget that Lee Xuiye was his wife while she…

Ha!

She really overestimated herself.

One could feel that a cold and intimidating aura was emitting from Mo Lingtan that even Yue Wanwan shuttered inwardly. Therefore, she promptly revealed the name of Xia Xiulan's murderer. "It...It was Gu Minlan."

For a second there was a dead silence but Gu Minlan's name was echoed a few times that there shouldn't be any doubt but still, Mo Lingtan disbelievingly asked "Who did you say?" 

Gu Minlan?

Mo Lingtan knew that the way Gu Minlan pretended to look gentle and caring, she wasn't actually like that otherwise she wouldn't have been able to have tied Mo Qiwn down despite being childless after so many years of their marriage.

Could it be because of true love that Mo Qiwn had been tied down with her up till now?

Ha! It was the best joke in this world.

There were no words like true love in Mo Qiwn's dictionary.

Even Mo Qiwn was still being obedient to Mo Donghai because the latter was still in use for the former. Otherwise, there was no way that the old man would be so arrogant.

However, why did Gu Minlan kill Xia Xiulan?

It was not that Mo Qiwn didn't have other women in his life as his mistress. 

Then why?

"Why did Gu Minlan kill Xia Xiulan? Do you have any proof against her?" Mo Lingtan asked. 

If Yue Wanwan was saying Gu Minlan's name, the former must have some kind of evidence against the latter.

However, what Yue Wanwan next said made Mo Lingtan speechless and stupefied. "I...I burned that evidence…" Yue Wanwan replied in a low voice.

"What? You burned that evidence...Wow..!!!" Mo Lingtan raised his hand in amazement.

"I didn't have any other option at that time." Yue Wanwan said in self protest.

"Oh...Yeah? Then why are you all of a sudden wanting to take revenge for Xia Xiulan? You should have gone back and stayed quiet!" Mo Lingtan exasperatedly shouted.

"It's me. I want justice for my mother." At that moment, Xia Reng immediately came forward and said.

His voice was innocent but the anger could be clearly heard from his tone that Mo Lingtan didn't know what to say to him.

"I know I made a huge mistake and I am asking you to clear it despite that we don't have any kind of relationship but you are the only person on whom I can rely on." Yue Wanwan lamentingly said. 

Mo Lingtan sighed helplessly and asked, "You are the capable person then why don't you go after Gu Minlan?"

"Because... I don't have much time. I have brain cancer and it's in the last stage." Yue Wanwan replied which startled Mo Lingtan.

Mo Lingtan didn't know what to say. Although he had signed the agreement with Yue Wanwan, he wasn't generous to help every other person. Not especially to Yue Wanwan.

Yue Wanwan knew this thing, therefore, she continued. "I know helping me won't give you a thing in return but I heard that Gu Minlan has bought all of Mo Qiwn's shares and she would become a threat to you someday. So why not remove her before she millstones around your neck[1] and perhaps through her you get the chance to remove Mo Qiwn."

What Yue Wanwan said was right, Gu Minlan was not an unambitious person so someday she might come after him but since she hadn't caused any trouble to Mo Lingtan, Mo Lingtan didn't pay attention to her.

Even if she had really killed Xia Xiulan, it was not Mo Lingtan's business. He just wanted to get a chance to trap Mo Qiwn.

Even if Mo Lingtan wanted to trap Mo Qiwn through Gu Minlan, Yue Wanwan had burned the evidence against Gu Minlan. So how could Mo Lingtan go after Gu Minlan?

There were many things running in Mo Lingtan's mind and his silence showed that he was still not interested to help Yue Wanwan despite that he had signed the agreement. 

However, Yue Wanwan knew that he could run off by saying he didn't get any proof against Gu Minlan as she had already burned that proof.

Nevertheless, Yue Wanwan never wanted to take revenge for Xia Xiulan as it would only bring shame to Xia Xiulan's name. She only wanted someone to take care of Xia Reng after her.

Since it was Xia Reng's wish to get justice for his mother, he needed to convince Mo Lingtan. Yue Wanwan couldn't do more than making Mo Lingtan sign the agreement and she made this thing clear with Xia Reng.

Therefore, Yue Wanwan continued further. "I know I can't force you to take revenge for Xia Xiulan despite the fact that you have signed the agreement. You can go to court against it but I can't as I don't have time. I just beg you to take Xia Reng. I heard that Lee Xuiye can't become a mother so you can take him as your son."

It seemed that Yue Wanwan came with all the preparation, however, Mo Lingtan knew that no one knew about Lee Xuiye's pregnancy problem, not even his family.

Then from where did Yue Wanwan get this information?

Perhaps...from Lee Chang-You.

Lee Xuiye told him that she met Yue Wanwan at Aroma'S and with Lee Chang-You trusted on Yue Wanwan, she must have told Yue Wanwan about Lee Xuiye's pregnancy problem.

So should he take this child as his son?
