Chapter 533: Chapter 531: She’s Out to Harm You!
Xiao Mo had known since the day he married that Old Master Song, without any mercy, kicked him and Song Keren out of the Song Family.
It was just that Xiao Jinglan couldn’t accept it, so she simply didn’t want to acknowledge it.
The only reason Old Master Song allowed Xiao Jinglan into the Song Family was that he worried Sinian had no one to take care of him. After so many years in the Song Family, Xiao Jinglan had never received Old Master Song’s approval.
If Xiao Jinglan had won over Old Master Song early on, given Sinian’s situation, Old Master Song could have potentially trained him as the heir instead of waiting for Sinian to grow up and then kicking him out of the Song Family!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo’s gaze toward Xiao Jinglan carried a hint of blame.
Xiao Jinglan felt so choked up by Xiao Mo’s words that she almost couldn’t breathe.
Yet she couldn’t find the words to retort, because what he said was true.
Old Master Song indeed didn’t take them seriously—even she, who had served the Song Family diligently for many years as its mistress, had never been valued by him.
If he had even slightly considered her part of the Song Family, he wouldn’t have driven his daughter and son away right in front of her.
Although Xiao Mo was, at that time, under his nephew’s name.
But Old Master Song being so merciless was indeed a slap in her face.
Xiao Jinglan’s expression changed again and again, "Even so, you shouldn’t give up on yourself and get involved with that kind of woman!"
Listening to Xiao Jinglan constantly bad-mouthing Hao Jiayi, Xiao Mo’s eyebrows furrowed noticeably, "I’m already an adult, you don’t need to manage what I do."
Xiao Jinglan felt a suffocating tightness in her chest, her frown deepening, "Xiao Mo, do you know that woman is a spy sent by Feng Jiyue?"
She thought that by saying this, even if Xiao Mo was still mad at her, he wouldn’t easily let this woman go.
But to her surprise, Xiao Mo merely snorted lightly, seemingly not caring at all.
Xiao Jinglan exploded, "Xiao Mo, are you bewitched by that woman? She’s out to harm you!"
She was truly frantic.
She had learned from the spies she had placed in the Song Group that Hao Jiayi was involved with Feng Jiyue, and she had even seduced Xia Wenqing. How could Xiao Mo still want this kind of woman around!
How could she accept that?
Seeing Xiao Mo indifferent, Xiao Jinglan grew even more agitated, "I just told you, that woman has something going on with Feng Jiyue, can’t you understand? Just recently, you just dealt with Feng Jiyue, and then this woman comes to you, don’t you find it suspicious?"
Xiao Mo watched Xiao Jinglan earnestly, casually raising his eyebrows, "I know all this; she’s already told me."
Xiao Jinglan looked at Xiao Mo in disbelief, "She’s already told you? That woman? She told you her own intentions?" 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Her gaze scrutinized Xiao Mo, trying to ascertain whether his last words were true or false.
Xiao Mo nodded, "She told me the day she arrived that she’s controlled by Feng Jiyue, so she had to work for him, but as long as I can guarantee her safety, she’s willing to pretend to cooperate with Feng Jiyue."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinglan was almost angered to death on the spot by Xiao Mo’s words; she couldn’t believe her son could be so naive.
She couldn’t help but press her temples, feeling like Xiao Mo could infuriate her at any moment.
"You already know that this woman has impure motives, why not stay away from her?"
Xiao Mo shrugged his shoulders, "Why should I keep my distance from someone who can be of use to me? Besides, she wouldn’t cause me any substantial harm."
At that point, his gaze fixed intently on Xiao Jinglan, "Ever since you walked in, you have been talking about Hao Jiayi. Who gave you the information that brought you here to trouble me?"
Listening to Xiao Mo, Xiao Jinglan couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "With the mess that woman has made, do I really need someone else to inform me?"
She was almost amused by Xiao Mo’s attitude.
If this son weren’t her own flesh and blood, she really wouldn’t want to deal with him at all.
Xiao Jinglan took a deep breath, "Do you still remember the spy we planted in the Song Group before?"
The person later accidentally ended up in the Song Group’s Legal Department, where Xia Wenqing worked.
Xiao Mo certainly knew, as several of his spies involved with directors had been ousted from the Song Group.
He had once thought that Song Sinian had already grasped his deployment and had worried for a long time, thinking that if he had indeed found out, they would be at a complete deadlock.
But unexpectedly, Song Sinian only suppressed a few directors and then did nothing more.
He had also investigated those spies who were placed in key positions and discovered they had indeed done many shady things.
This made Xiao Mo very frustrated.
He had planned to make use of these people when the time was right, but he hadn’t expected them to ruin his plans for their own selfish interests.
He had laid out his plans for so long, and now it had all turned to sand!
The more Xiao Mo thought about it, the more depressed he became, but eventually his gaze returned to Xiao Jinglan, "What happened to that spy?"
Xiao Jinglan met Xiao Mo’s gaze and then slowly said, "Hao Jiayi was previously in the Legal Department. Did you know that this woman once tried to seduce Xia Wenqing?"
"..."
Xiao Mo didn’t respond this time, because he genuinely didn’t know about it.
Seeing a slight change in Xiao Mo’s expression, Xiao Jinglan knew there was an opportunity and immediately pressed on, "Just a few days ago, a police car and an ambulance arrived at the Song Group, and the person taken away was Hao Jiayi. It was because she had drugged Xia Wenqing and was then attacked..."
Hearing the words "drugged Xia Wenqing," Xiao Mo’s complexion visibly darkened; he had always believed Hao Jiayi was, as she said, driven to it.
Was it also a desperate act toward Xia Wenqing?
And was he the second choice after Xia Wenqing’s failure?
Losing to Song Sinian was one thing.
Xia Family’s second young master had no real power in the XJ Group; he was just a lawyer, and yet Hao Jiayi had still ranked him ahead of Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo instantly felt insulted.
He had always considered himself on the same level as Song Sinian, only he was unlucky to become an illegitimate child.
But as a descendant of the Song Family, what was the difference between him and Song Sinian?
So for Hao Jiayi to fail in drugging Xia Wenqing and then to try to drug him was a profound humiliation!
Xiao Mo clenched his fists fiercely, his sharp eyes squinting slightly, "Did Xia Wenqing and his people tell you all this?"
Xiao Jinglan shook her head, "Of course not, Xia Wenqing and his people wouldn’t discuss this in front of so many people; it was the spy who overheard it."
