After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 529: Chapter 527: She Even Gave Him the Cold Shoulder!

With his many years of learning experience, he was sure to grasp the essence and then mercilessly roll over him!

By evening, before the end of the workday, Hao Jiayi and Xiao Mo were caught in the act of their office dalliance.

Xiao Mo wasn’t foolish. Being cornered in the office in broad daylight, he realized he had been set up.

In fact, before being taken to the hospital, he had already regained quite a bit of consciousness.

But because there were just too many people outside the office, he simply pretended to keep unconscious until he was taken to the hospital.

"Xiao Mo, how are you?" As soon as Xiao Jinglan pushed open the door of the ward, she ran straight to Xiao Mo.

She was playing cards with the other ladies outside when she heard that Xiao Mo had had an accident at the Song Group. She almost didn’t think before instructing her driver to take her to the hospital immediately.

The recent events had made Xiao Jinglan feel very unsettled, and she always had the feeling that everything was spiraling out of control.

On her way to the hospital, she was so anxious that if anything really happened to Xiao Mo, she would definitely perish together with others.

She had been mingling in the Shangjing Circle for half her life, and this was her only son, whom she cherished so much. Now that she kept facing setbacks, how could she possibly bear it?

When Xiao Mo saw Xiao Jinglan’s mournful face, his eyebrows instantly knotted, "I’m not dead yet, no need for you to mourn here."

Xiao Jinglan heard Xiao Mo’s unfriendly tone, and her already aggrieved face showed even more distress.

She pursed her lips, looked at Xiao Mo, and said word by word, "I heard outside that something happened to you, and I came here without a second thought. I’m this worried about you, not for you to take your anger out on me at will!"

Xiao Mo was also aware of Xiao Jinglan’s health situation.

Ever since she knew that she wouldn’t live long, she had become particularly emotional. Even when he spoke, Xiao Jinglan would retort back at him, and this made Xiao Mo feel very uncomfortable.

Moreover, he had just been a victim of a scheme, and now hearing Xiao Jinglan going on and on, his expression instantly turned sour.

"I didn’t say you had to come here. If you feel wronged, you can go back right now."

His voice was cold, making Xiao Jinglan feel even colder inside.

Who was she to blame for becoming like this?

If it were not for Xiao Mo and Xia Wenjin messing around on the variety show and making it public, Xia Wenjin would not have married into their family and she would not have been poisoned by Xia Wenjin.

In the end, she had become like this all because of her son, yet she couldn’t believe that he not only failed to be grateful to her but was also treating her with cold and harsh words!

As Xiao Jinglan thought this, tears started to flow down her cheeks.

She looked at Xiao Mo almost in accusation, saying word by word, "Since I am so expendable in your eyes, then I won’t care about anything anymore. When I perish together with the Song Family, you can reside over the Song Group to your heart’s content!"

Saying this, she turned to leave, which genuinely frightened Xiao Mo.

He wasn’t worried about whether Xiao Jinglan would die; what concerned him was if Xiao Jinglan perished together with the Song Family, it might lead others to suspect that he was the mastermind behind it.

After all, if the Song Family were gone, he would be the one with the most right to inherit.

Xiao Jinglan was still his mother, after all. Anyone with a little bit of curiosity could easily investigate and find out.

He didn’t want to wait until Xiao Jinglan died to carry this burden. There was a simpler way, so why would he take such a risk?

"Get back here right now!" Xiao Mo almost gritted his molars as he yelled at Xiao Jinglan.

But it seemed like Xiao Jinglan had no intention of stopping at all.

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and shouted at her again, "If you walk out that door today, I won’t acknowledge you as my mother anymore!"

That sentence stopped Xiao Jinglan in her tracks.

She looked back at Xiao Mo in almost disbelief. But then she thought about it; her son wanted to keep her from leaving, so he said such a thing. Her heart suddenly felt warm again.

Indeed her son still cared for her. It was just that he was too angered by other matters and had spoken without thinking.

But considering she had already made her harsh statement, if she was shouted back now, the words she had just said wouldn’t seem to have any force.

So Xiao Jinglan just stood rigidly in place.

Xiao Mo, of course, had no idea what Xiao Jinglan was thinking, but right now, he absolutely couldn’t let this woman ruin his plans.

He took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

"I’ve had enough trouble today as it is. Just spare me the headache, okay? Even if you went to help me find out who is working against me, that would be good enough." Xiao Mo cast a forlorn glance at Xiao Jinglan, then deliberately turned away, not looking at her any longer.

Seeing her son looking so aggrieved, Xiao Jinglan felt a surge of pain. Her precious son, whom she had treasured for so many years, was now being bullied by others—how could she stand for that?

She sighed softly and walked slowly to Xiao Mo’s side, speaking patiently, "What exactly happened to you today? How did you end up doing such a thing in the office for no reason?"

She remembered the last time Xiao Mo lost control was because Xia Wenjin had drugged him during a variety show. Could it be the same case this time?

Xiao Mo pressed his temples with some irritation, "I don’t know exactly what happened. I just know a woman came into my office, and I can’t remember clearly what happened after that."

By the time he was conscious, his office was already crowded with people, and there was a woman next to him, disheveled and weeping pitifully.

Xiao Mo didn’t know if this woman had been set up along with him, or if she was the one setting him up.

He hadn’t had a chance to investigate yet.

Xiao Jinglan observed Xiao Mo’s somber face and couldn’t help but ask, "This incident has had a really bad impact within the Song Group. Have you thought about how you’re going to handle it?"

He had just recently been cast in a good light as a devoted husband because of Xia Wen’s disappearance in the public eye.

Now, if it became known that he had been involved with someone else in his office, his reputation would likely take another hit.

Xiao Mo felt a headache coming on, too. He always had a feeling that someone was working against him; it was as if someone was ever-present, opposing him. He shouldn’t be in this situation.

His fist clenched involuntarily as he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jinglan, "You go investigate for me who that woman in my office today really was. I’m stuck in the hospital and can’t leave."

Hearing his words, Xiao Jinglan nodded repeatedly, "You just leave this matter to me; focus on recovering in the hospital."

Even if Xiao Mo hadn’t mentioned it, she had intended to look into that woman’s background thoroughly...
