Chapter 531: Chapter 529 This Method Seems Too Stupid
Xiao Mo looked at the woman before him with satisfaction, her eyes brimming with desire just enough to stroke his male ego.
He grabbed her chin forcefully, flipping her around to press her against the office desk.
"Don’t worry, as long as you’re with me, I can give you everything you want..."
Hao Jiayi had long been accustomed to making deals with men, so when Xiao Mo spoke, she wasn’t surprised. She felt that with her beauty, it would be odd if men weren’t moved by her.
Previously, when facing Xia Wenqing, she had felt almost completely certain, yet unexpectedly, she kept hitting a wall in front of that man.
She even began to doubt herself at the time, yet with Xiao Mo, she hadn’t faltered, which allowed her to regain some confidence.
"I have no other demands, just give me a stable environment to live in," Hao Jiayi’s head dipped slightly, feigning a pitiful look of wanting nothing more.
When Xiao Mo saw her pitiable state, a rush of desire surged within him.
Ever since Xia Wenjin disappeared, he hadn’t vented in this regard much.
Before he married Xia Wenjin, he used to pay professionals outside. After marrying Xia Wenjin, he always toyed with her at home.
After Xia Wenjin’s disappearance, he had wanted to pay to solve his needs, but he also feared that his every move could be used against him by others with ulterior motives, so he had to restrain himself.
Now that someone readily presented herself, how could he possibly refuse?
The corners of Xiao Mo’s mouth curled up smugly, and he casually laid his hands on Hao Jiayi...
...
It didn’t take long for Song Sinian to learn about the affair between Xiao Mo and Hao Jiayi.
Lu Zhaozhao had just returned to the office when Xu Zhenzhen eagerly shared the gossip with her and Xia Wenqing.
"You’ll never guess who we found in Xiao Mo’s office!" Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes gleamed with excitement, full of eagerness to spout her gossip.
Without a second thought, Xia Wenqing blurted out, "Was it Hao Jiayi?"
His remark caught Xu Zhenzhen off guard.
She blinked her doe-eyes, staring blankly at Xia Wenqing and asked, word by word, "Second Brother, how did you know? Did you have someone spying there?"
Xia Wenqing exchanged a glance with Song Sinian before they both turned their gaze back to Xu Zhenzhen’s small face.
With a touch of helplessness, he sighed, "When you and Zhaozhao went out, it was to seek revenge on Hao Jiayi. Upon your return, you didn’t mention Hao Jiayi but instead spoke of Xiao Mo first. There can only be one explanation—that Hao Jiayi was in Xiao Mo’s office."
Xu Zhenzhen was evidently amazed by Xia Wenqing’s deductive prowess.
She gazed at him with admiration, "Second Brother, you’re so smart to have thought of that!"
Song Sinian: ...
Lu Zhaozhao: ...
Lu Zhaozhao now finally understood why Xu Zhenzhen, who studied abroad, had been so easily deceived by Liu Xiaozhen. With such a simple mind, it was indeed very easy to be tricked.
Xia Wenqing, flustered by Xu Zhenzhen’s praise, coughed lightly to change the subject, "What was Hao Jiayi doing in Xiao Mo’s office?"
Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but pout, "What she wanted to do in your office back then is the same thing she wants to do in Xiao Mo’s office now..."
Xia Wenqing instantly got Xu Zhenzhen’s point.
Yet at the same time, he was shocked, his eyes widening, "What on earth does Hao Jiayi aim to achieve by doing this?"
If she drugged him back then, it might have been because she saw his earnestness and dependability, and she knew he wouldn’t mistreat a woman who had slept with him.
Then her going to look for Xiao Mo now doesn’t make much sense.
Although Xiao Mo’s wife, Xia Wenjin, had disappeared, the two had not divorced, which meant Xiao Mo was still a married man. Even if Hao Jiayi slept with him, she’d still be a mistress.
Even if she were desperate, she shouldn’t be flinging herself at Xiao Mo’s wall.
Lu Zhaozhao seemed to catch on to Xia Wenqing’s doubts. "If Xiao Mo is really Hao Jiayi’s true target, then doesn’t that explain everything?"
Xia Wenqing paused for a moment and immediately grasped her meaning.
Feng Jiyue’s body had been crippled by someone hired by Xiao Mo, so it wasn’t impossible that he’d sent Hao Jiayi to seduce Xiao Mo.
But this method seemed too foolish.
With a little investigation, Xiao Mo could easily discover the intricate relationship between him and Hao Jiayi.
Adding to that was Xiao Mo’s naturally suspicious nature.
Feng Jiyue’s brain simply wasn’t equipped for such intricate scheming.
Xia Wenqing snorted softly. "Hao Jiayi is pretty cunning herself. Those two are quite a match."
Lu Zhaozhao shrugged noncommittally; Hao Jiayi’s thoughts were indeed not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
She was even shrewder than Feng Jiayue.
Her initial intent for bringing Feng Jiyue into Song Group was to irritate Xiao Mo, and she had never considered whether Feng Jiayue could outsmart him.
After all, Feng Jiayue, with his indulgent vices, was no match for someone as crafty as Xiao Mo, especially when coupled with his hair-trigger temper, which was more a hindrance than a help.
But now, with Hao Jiayi in the mix, the game seemed much more interesting.
Xu Zhenzhen frowned with some annoyance. "Are we just going to let Hao Jiayi go directly to Xiao Mo?"
Although Xiao Mo wasn’t anything decent, he was at least a department manager.
Even if Hao Jiayi were only his lover, she wouldn’t have a tough life.
Xu Zhenzhen became angry just thinking about how Xia Wenqing had almost been insulted because of that woman. It was unjustifiable.
There was no reason she should forgive her just because she’d picked out a scumbag; after all, she was the one willing to rush in headlong.
Why should Xu Zhenzhen forgive her mistakes just because Hao Jiayi was in a tough spot? She simply couldn’t do it; she was a petty and vindictive person!
Lu Zhaozhao shook her head. "Xiao Mo isn’t a good sort, and although Feng Jiyue is a fool, he’s rotten to the core. If both men find out that Hao Jiayi has betrayed them, don’t you think that scene would be quite interesting?"
Xu Zhenzhen almost instantly understood Lu Zhaozhao’s point.
They didn’t have to clean up Hao Jiayi themselves, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t.
If they can make Hao Jiayi’s life a living hell with just a little effort from their lips and fingertips, why should they bother to get their hands dirty?
Although beating her up would be more satisfying, just hitting her once seemed like letting her off easy.
Xu Zhenzhen didn’t want to let Hao Jiayi off so lightly. Since she thought she had the brains and the means, then let her struggle between these two men.
Let her believe she’s clever, fooling both sides.
But little does she know that both parties are already aware of her motives, and the more Hao Jiayi tries to impress, the more likely she is to be resented by both.
After all, both are scumbags, and Hao Jiayi’s days ahead won’t be easy...
