After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 615 - 613: Looking at the Pot While Eating from the Bowl
Chapter 615: Chapter 613: Looking at the Pot While Eating from the Bowl
After all, that woman harbored substantial hatred toward Xiao Mo, and if Xiao Mo really were replaced, he wouldn’t have any good days in her hands.
They were willing to fight like dogs, and Song Sinian was more than happy to watch it happen.
He had already given them the opportunity, now it was up to their abilities.
For several days in a row, a report began fermenting in the Shangjing Circle’s social and entertainment news.
"Suspected missing female artist shockingly confirmed deceased in Country F"
"Country F discovers female artist suspected to be Xia Wenjin"
"Reviewing Xia Wenjin’s life: From debut to the pinnacle"
...
Hao Jiayi looked at the message dominating the headlines on her phone, and couldn’t help but squint her eyes.
That Feng Ya Meizi was quite capable, having so swiftly managed to obtain news of Xia Wenjin’s death.
If the news was confirmed overseas, as long as Xiao Mo deregistered Xia Wenjin’s identity domestically, then all she needed to do was marry Xiao Mo and it would be set in stone.
Hao Jiayi stood in the break room, stirring her coffee while pondering how to discuss this matter with Xiao Mo.
"Hey, have you heard? Our Manager Xiao’s wife seems to have died..."
"Oh my? Is it that Xia Wenjin? Tsk tsk... wasn’t she reported missing earlier? How is she now confirmed dead?"
"I heard it’s an investigative report from Country F, they’ve even found the body, they say she accidentally fell into water, tsk tsk, so tragic."
Several colleagues gossiped excitedly in the break room.
Hao Jiayi naturally perked up her ears and listened in.
"Do you think, considering how devoted Manager Xiao is, finding his wife lost for so long and now gone, that he might be very down?"
"Down... he definitely might be?"
"Tsk tsk... our Manager Xiao is quite pitiable..." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
This level of gossip was still normal, but then a hushed voice arose in the crowd.
"Do you think, given Manager Xiao’s poor emotional state right now, is there a big chance to take advantage of his vulnerability?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the break room instantly quieted down.
Everyone glanced at each other, suddenly feeling an urge stirring within.
Even Hao Jiayi, secretly standing in the corner, felt a sudden "thump" in her heart—not because she was intrigued by their words, but because she feared someone else taking her piece of the pie, Xiao Mo.
After all, Xiao Mo usually presented himself as exceptionally gentle and good in front of others, but he was actually rotten to the core.
But others didn’t know that.
If someone really thought of this, her position would be in serious jeopardy.
Hao Jiayi squinted her eyes, her gaze secretly flitting to the woman who had just spoken the provocative words.
She then sized up a few other female colleagues around her.
She would have to treat these women as key subjects of observation and ensure they wouldn’t succeed!
Although she disliked Xiao Mo, marrying him would give her a legitimate reason to access his assets.
As long as she cleverly managed him and his mother, everything of the Xiao Family would be hers!
Thinking this, Hao Jiayi stirred her coffee again, feeling much more composed.
The chattery female colleagues, after a few more inconsequential remarks, gradually left the break room one by one.
Hao Jiayi stayed in the back, waiting until everyone had left, before she took her coffee and returned to Xiao Mo’s office.
"Amo, take a break and have a coffee, you’ve been working for a long time."
Hao Jiayi was especially caring the moment she entered.
She looked at Xiao Mo sitting at his desk, smiling brightly at him, as if her eyes and heart were filled with only him.
Xiao Mo had long been accustomed to her demeanor.
Even because of Hao Jiayi’s attitude toward him, he felt a twinge of superiority—certainly because he was so outstanding, which made her so infatuated with him.
He took the coffee she offered, drank a few sips casually, and then leaned back in his chair.
He waved Hao Jiayi over with a gesture.
Hao Jiayi, of course, complied with him, walking over and even sitting on his lap.
Her arms wrapped around his neck, she rubbed against him and cooed, "Amo, I just heard in the pantry that someone said your wife has been found."
Xiao Mo’s hand, which had been trailing along her back to her waist, suddenly paused, and his brows furrowed.
He had naturally heard about Xia Wenjin.
The police in that country had found a severely disfigured female corpse downstream of the river where Xia Wenjin had had her accident.
From the clothes and characteristics, it seemed to be Xia Wenjin.
He had listened to Xiao Jinglan mention that Xia Wenjin had fallen into the river, and he had indeed thought that she might have died just like that.
After all, since she had fallen into the river, there had been no news of her.
It had indeed been very frustrating, living without seeing her and dying without a body.
Now that the dust had settled, Xiao Mo’s mood had obviously improved a lot.
But Hao Jiayi bringing it up made Xiao Mo somewhat displeased.
Xiao Mo knew too well what Hao Jiayi was thinking.
He had no fondness for her ignorant attitude.
A woman alone, without power, influence, or status, she should have been content being a canary.
Yet she was insatiable, always coveting a position that did not belong to her.
Xiao Mo glanced at Hao Jiayi, his voice also grew colder, "Besides this, what else did they say?"
Hao Jiayi’s fingertips traced a circle on Xiao Mo’s chest, "They also said they want to take advantage of your low spirits to sneak in, all dressed up like little vixens, hmph!"
As she spoke, she playfully poked Xiao Mo’s chest, seemingly jealous.
Xiao Mo’s eyebrow quirked slightly, indifferent to Hao Jiayi’s attitude, but he quite enjoyed what she had said.
The covetous looks from other women in the company pleased him.
Being liked by so many people proved his charm.
Seeing Xiao Mo’s smug look, Hao Jiayi couldn’t help but scoff coldly in her heart, men really are no good.
Xiao Mo already had one in his arms, yet he was still thinking about other women.
Previously, Hao Jiayi had thought, following Feng Ya Meizi’s advice to drug them might be too cruel.
Now it seemed she had been too naive.
This man clearly looked at what was in the pot while eating from his bowl.
Her eyes narrowed further, wanting to probe him a bit more.
Thus, Hao Jiayi spoke up again softly, "Amo, look, your previous wife is confirmed gone, and naturally, your marriage to her doesn’t count anymore, we..."
Hearing Hao Jiayi’s words, Xiao Mo’s brows suddenly tightened, and he said coldly, "My wife just died, and now you want me to marry you, are you trying to kill me? What will people outside think of me?"
Upon hearing this, Hao Jiayi immediately pretended to be frightened, shrinking into his embrace...
