Chapter 532: Chapter 530: Didn’t You Know Very Early On?
They only needed to quietly wait for Xiao Mo and Feng Jiyue to make their move.
Xu Zhenzhen sat on the sofa, cocking her head, "Xiao Mo is so suspicious. How can we make him believe what we say?"
Xia Wenqing rubbed Xu Zhenzhen’s head, "A suspicious appearance doesn’t mean everyone around him is equally suspicious. We just need to find someone who is not too bright and not so suspicious."
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyebrows immediately knitted together, "All the people around Xiao Mo are extremely cunning. Where can we find someone who is not only dim-witted but also not as suspicious?"
The office suddenly fell silent, as everyone seemed to be considering this important candidate.
In the end, it was Song Sinian who spoke first, "There is someone who’s not too bright and isn’t very suspicious, but I’m afraid Xiao Mo won’t listen to her."
Lu Zhaozhao also realized who Song Sinian was referring to.
"Song Keren indeed isn’t too bright and doesn’t have much suspicion, but it seems like she hasn’t been returning to the Xiao Family much lately."
Even if he had objections to Xiao Mo’s actions, Xiao Mo wouldn’t listen to him.
Since Xia Wenjin disappeared, Song Keren had become much more obedient.
It was said that she was recently pregnant, so it seems her relationship with Justin wasn’t bad.
If she could continue to be Justin’s obedient wife, that wouldn’t be a bad outcome.
Song Sinian nodded slightly, "There’s indeed no need to make a move against Song Keren, but Xiao Jinglan is a good point of breakthrough."
Although she was quite cunning, her love for Xiao Mo was real.
If she found out that such a big bomb had been planted right next to her son, she couldn’t possibly remain indifferent.
Instead of looking for other useless people, it was better to use Xiao Jinglan’s concern for Xiao Mo and let her take the initiative to "defuse the bomb" for him.
Even if Xiao Mo was unhappy about it, he would likely investigate due to Xiao Jinglan’s words.
By then, no matter how flowery Hao Jiayi’s excuses were, they would probably be futile.
Xia Wenqing pondered for a moment; it seemed this was the only option for now.
He nodded lightly, "There’s also a spy placed by the Xiao Family in my office. In the next few days, Zhenzhen and I will pretend to let slip some information to him unintentionally. That way, when Xiao Jinglan brings up the matter, Xiao Mo will probably not be suspicious."
"Good. Let’s do it this way."
...
Hao Jiayi, having switched allegiances to Xiao Mo earlier, had been promoted to his personal secretary.
Even if there was nothing important happening, Hao Jiayi would nestle in the office, being intimate with Xiao Mo.
Every time she came out of the office, her hair would be somewhat disheveled, or her lipstick would be mostly gone, or sometimes her blouse buttons would be incorrectly fastened.
Even if the people from the sales department were blind, they knew what this so-called secretary’s role was to Xiao Mo.
Therefore, whenever Hao Jiayi was in the office, everyone tacitly refrained from entering, or they would knock loudly on the door before entering, waiting for the people inside to invite them in.
But not everyone who entered Xiao Mo’s office had the perceptiveness of the sales department staff.
Take Xiao Jinglan, for example.
She gently knocked on the office door and walked in, only to see, a few steps in, Xiao Mo embracing Hao Jiayi on his desk, lavishing affection on her.
"What are you two doing?" Clenching her fists tightly, Xiao Jinglan glared at the two indulging themselves in the office, her brows almost twisting into a knot.
Xiao Mo was obviously startled by the sound of the unexpected visitor, since people usually knocked before entering upon receiving his permission.
So he would normally attend to the matter at hand first and only then would he allow the person outside to come in.
But who would have thought that the person entering would be Xiao Jinglan.
She would never wait for him at the door.
Although Xiao Mo was quite annoyed, he slowly let go of Hao Jiayi.
Hao Jiayi, noticing Xiao Jinglan’s piercing gaze fixed on her, immediately lowered her head, adopting the appearance of a frightened delicate flower.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo raised his hand and patted her on the back to reassure her, "You go out first. I’ll call you back in later."
As he spoke, his hand slowly moved down to squeeze her side, then he gave her a particularly flirtatious wink.
He had been very pleased with Hao Jiayi these past few days.
She was always so clingy around him, easily arousing his protective instincts, which is why he had been especially indulgent toward Hao Jiayi recently.
Xiao Jinglan’s brows furrowed even deeper at the sight of Xiao Mo’s behavior.
She had heard rumors of a woman named Hao Jiayi clinging to her son during her previous visit, though she did not believe them at the time.
But now, faced with this situation, she had no choice but to believe them.
Xiao Mo had always been very composed in front of her, the last time he was utterly bewitched by a woman was when he met Lu Zhaozhao.
Back then, after several failed attempts, he finally gave up.
Xiao Jinglan had particularly despised Lu Zhaozhao at the time because she thought she had a face that was too seductive, one that completely infatuated her son.
It had even led to a conflict between them.
She had wanted to tear Lu Zhaozhao apart with her bare hands.
Fortunately, Xiao Mo later married Xia Wenjin, and they presented a united front.
But that despicable woman had dared to poison her, and just the thought made Xiao Jinglan tremble with uncontrollable anger.
"How did you come here?" Suddenly, Xiao Mo’s voice echoed in the room, pulling her thoughts back to the present.
Xiao Jinglan, with a dark look on her face, fixed her gaze tightly on Xiao Mo and said word by word, "You still have the nerve to ask? The things you’ve done in this office have already become public knowledge. Why do you think I’m here?"
Xiao Mo’s complexion suddenly shifted, seemingly quite displeased with Xiao Jinglan’s manner of speaking.
He had been pampered like a lord by Hao Jiayi these days, with everything going smoothly for him, so being confronted by someone else suddenly triggered his rebellious side.
"What I do in my office is none of your business. You are not the president of Song Group; why should you interfere?" Xiao Mo retorted without thinking, which really choked Xiao Jinglan.
She looked at Xiao Mo with almost disbelief, "I’m doing this for your own good. Aren’t you afraid that the things you do with that woman in the office will be reported to Old Master Song by people with intentions?"
Xiao Mo had always been very careful about his reputation within Song Group, all because of that despicable woman that he became so careless.
Sure enough, that woman must have been sent by Feng Jiyue to harm her son!
The more Xiao Jinglan thought about it, the angrier she became, glaring at Xiao Mo with venom.
Yet she heard Xiao Mo say coolly, "Old Master Song has been displeased with me for a long time. Whether I did these things in the office or not, he has never liked me, didn’t you know that a long time ago?"
In Old Master Song’s eyes, Song Sinian was the only one that mattered; everyone else was nothing!
