Chapter 534: Chapter 532: Vixen!
Xiao Jinglan saw that Xiao Mo seemed to believe what she had said, so she continued, "Xia Wenqing has a girlfriend, and after he was drugged, he immediately smashed the glass to save himself. He held out until Xu Zhenzhen arrived at the office. After Xu Zhenzhen beat up Hao Jiayi, the two of them left. Not many people know about this because Xia Wenqing felt embarrassed."
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly, you can go back first."
Xiao Mo couldn’t be bothered to argue with Xiao Jinglan anymore. At this point, all he wanted to do was to figure out if the woman named Hao Jiayi was playing him.
If it really was as Xiao Jinglan said, he definitely wouldn’t let her get away with it.
Soon after Xiao Jinglan had left Xiao Mo’s office, Hao Jiayi naturally ran over from the pantry.
The two almost bumped into each other face to face; Xiao Jinglan gave Hao Jiayi a big eye-roll, and without any mercy, cursed, "Vixen!"
Far from being angry, Hao Jiayi looked back at Xiao Jinglan with a face full of pride.
"With my beauty, of course, I’d play the vixen role—how else would I make men like me?"
Her light words nearly drove Xiao Jinglan to rush forward and tear her apart, but she held back. After all, Xiao Mo had just taken her words to heart.
He definitely wouldn’t take Hao Jiayi seriously anymore—thinking this, Xiao Jinglan was in no hurry.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth and gave Hao Jiayi a feigned smile, "Don’t be too smug, you know very well what you’ve done."
The color on Hao Jiayi’s face changed slightly, but remembering that she had already informed Xiao Mo about her relationship with Feng Jiyue, she thought that even if Xiao Jinglan found out anything, she wouldn’t be able to touch her.
Thinking this, Hao Jiayi smiled back at Xiao Jinglan, "Aunty, rest assured, I am well aware of what I have done, there’s no need for you to worry about me."
Xiao Jinglan glared at Hao Jiayi viciously, "We’ll see about that!"
Watching Xiao Jinglan’s back as she walked away, Hao Jiayi sneered softly and turned to go to Xiao Mo’s office.
As soon as she entered, she went straight to Xiao Mo, looking at him with a tear-streaked face, "Amo, does Auntie dislike me? She’s so fierce, and she even called me a vixen before she left. I wanted to explain to Auntie, but she wouldn’t listen... sob sob sob..."
Xiao Mo’s gaze swept up and down Hao Jiayi’s face.
Previously, when he had believed Hao Jiayi, seeing her in tears always made her seem like an innocent flower victimized by circumstances, but now, he found her to be a cunning and manipulative schemer instead.
Where was the tenderness in his eyes from a few days ago?
Hao Jiayi sensed that Xiao Mo’s attitude toward her had changed slightly from before, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
She felt that in the past few days, her total subservience to Xiao Mo had made him lower his guard; he wouldn’t just turn against her because of a few casual words from Xiao Jinglan.
Sniffling, Hao Jiayi pitifully reached out and tugged at his sleeve, "If I make Amo feel troubled, I’d rather bear the hardship myself. It’s all okay, really."
The corners of Xiao Mo’s mouth twitched slightly, curving into a small smile, "How could I allow you to suffer?"
His feigned smile lingered as he looked at Hao Jiayi, "You are the one willing to cooperate and spread false information for my sake. With such deep feelings and serious intentions toward me, how could I possibly abandon you?"
Hearing him say this, the tension in Hao Jiayi’s heart instantly eased; indeed, men were easy to fool.
Especially the ones who had slept with her—they were even easier to deceive.
Xiao Mo reached out and gave her waist a hard squeeze before speaking in detail, "Why don’t you come home with me tonight? It’s time you experienced my true capabilities..."
His words were ambiguous, making Hao Jiayi’s face flush instantly.
Hao Jiayi didn’t expect Xiao Mo to let her into the inner circle so quickly.
Xiao Jinglan had just visited, clearly harboring hostility towards her. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
She thought that after Xiao Jinglan left, she would have to explain herself a few more times with her body, but surprisingly, Xiao Mo completely ignored Xiao Jinglan and even wanted to take her back to his home.
This reversal was completely beyond Hao Jiayi’s expectation. She had prepared for the worst, thinking that if she couldn’t win over Xiao Mo, she would continue to play along with Feng Jiyue.
Then, while taking the opportunity to be by his side, she would look for a few older men.
Though it seemed like a loss for someone her age, it was certainly better than continuing to endure abuse from the Feng family.
Who would have thought, not only did she secure Xiao Mo, he was smitten and crazy for her.
Xiao Jinglan probably never imagined that her visit to the office would inadvertently serve as a catalyst for Hao Jiayi’s entrance into the Xiao family.
The more Hao Jiayi had disliked Xiao Jinglan just before, the more she now liked her.
Hao Jiayi’s mind was consumed with the thoughts of Xiao Mo taking her back to the Xiao Family’s home, completely unaware of the significant difference in the man’s expression compared to his usual demeanor.
And she was unaware of the hellish situation awaiting her...
Xiao Mo watched Hao Jiayi’s smug expression and couldn’t help but curl his lips, though the emotion was quickly concealed in his eyes.
She really wasn’t the innocent flower she pretended to be in front of him.
Ha! Very good, since she dared to deceive him, she was going to pay the price for her deception!
Near the end of winter, the weather had warmed up from before.
Song Sinian originally wanted him to start working after the New Year, but Lu Zhaozhao felt that staying at home all the time was too boring.
Furthermore, during their last visit to Doctor Tian, they were explicitly advised that it was best for Lu Zhaozhao, with her emotional instability, not to brood at home.
It was better for her to engage in interesting activities to distract herself and prevent a recurrence of her previous episode.
Even though Song Sinian was reluctant, he had to compromise, as he never obstructed anything that was good for Lu Zhaozhao.
Knowing of Song Sinian’s kindness, Lu Zhaozhao naturally also took his feelings into account.
In order not to impact the time she spent with Song Sinian, Lu Zhaozhao chose the role of the fourth female in a show.
Her part wasn’t large, she could go to work every day and still come home to cherish moments with Song Sinian.
What Lu Zhaozhao didn’t expect was for the male lead of the play to be Bai Qing once again.
And he acted as if he was very familiar with her, sitting by her side, making Lu Zhaozhao wish she could roll her eyes until they fell out.
She suddenly remembered that during the last production, this guy had issues with Sun Qian, which ended up making her a target, although they later got along fine. Still, Lu Zhaozhao didn’t want to be around such a high-profile personality; it was too conspicuous.
"Teacher Lu, it’s been such a long time," Bai Qing said, as if completely oblivious to Lu Zhaozhao’s disdain, and started to greet her of his own accord.
