After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 619 - 617: You hit me?

Xiao Mo, although unaware of what exactly had transpired between the two, instinctively sided with Hao Jiayi upon seeing their expressions.

After all, men have an inherent flaw, always inclined to stand by those who appear weaker.

Xiao Jinglan had been fuming since the afternoon, and seeing Hao Jiayi’s pitiable demeanor only fueled her rage.

"What else can it be? Isn’t it just this slutty fox always thinking of seducing you, just to divert all your attention, so you won’t have the energy to deal with that bastard from the Feng family!"

Xiao Jinglan’s words were harsh, showing no regard for anyone’s dignity.

That included Xiao Mo’s.

His eyebrows furrowed, and as he listened to Xiao Jinglan’s curses, he turned to Hao Jiayi with an ugly expression and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you come back today?"

Hao Jiayi hung her head, tentatively clutching Xiao Mo’s arm, "I... I just bought a few little trinkets, put them in that room at home. I... I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to cheer you up, I’ve seen you’ve been in a bad mood lately. I... I shouldn’t have bought them..."

While she spoke, her eyes reddened, making anyone who saw her believe that Hao Jiayi was the victim.

Xiao Mo, already irritated these days, found Hao Jiayi’s reason to be more credible than Xiao Jinglan’s.

He recalled how Xiao Jinglan had been inexplicably picking fights recently, his brows knitting together once more, "Enough, someone like Feng Jiyue can’t do anything to me, so stop with the wild thoughts."

Upon hearing his response, Xiao Jinglan knew that Xiao Mo was going to protect Hao Jiayi.

Her gaze at Hao Jiayi grew even more malevolent, "You wretch, sooner or later, you’ll end up like Xia Wenjin, that bitch..."

"Mom!"

Before Xiao Jinglan could finish her sentence, Xiao Mo yelled at her.

Only then did Xiao Jinglan come back to her senses. Her eyes suddenly widened significantly, seeing Xiao Mo’s nearly ferocious gaze, she belatedly realized what she had just said.

If she had spilled the entire beans just now, Hao Jiayi might have guessed that Xia Wenjin’s death was no accident.

Her complexion shifted, yet she still glared fiercely at Hao Jiayi, "This woman harbors no good intentions, you’d better be more vigilant!"

Hao Jiayi had been bracing herself for a confrontation with Xiao Jinglan, but after overhearing their exchange, she made a shocking discovery.

Xiao Jinglan might have been responsible for the death of Xiao Mo’s former wife!

Hao Jiayi was startled, yet she pretended as if she hadn’t heard a thing, tugging at Xiao Mo, her voice choked with sobs, "Amo, I didn’t mean that, please believe me."

Although she didn’t know how Xia Wenjin had angered Xiao Jinglan, playing the innocent was definitely the right move now.

Otherwise, if they realized she had picked up on the conversation, she might well follow in someone’s footsteps.

Xiao Mo’s grim expression eased upon seeing Hao Jiayi’s still tearful and pitiful state, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Hao Jiayi wasn’t too sharp; otherwise, with Xiao Jinglan’s recent behavior, their secret would have been exposed long ago.

It seemed he needed to find a chance to firmly deal with Xiao Jinglan, before she became even more unhinged.

Thinking this, Xiao Mo glanced at Hao Jiayi, patting her on the back and said, "I believe you, stop crying now, go take a bath, and get ready in the room, waiting for me, understand?"

Hao Jiayi certainly understood what Xiao Mo meant; although she felt disgusted inside, thinking of her own scheme, she immediately nodded obediently.

Then she gave Xiao Mo a lingering look and, with a reluctant three glances back, returned to her room.

Showing not the slightest fear or panic that one might expect after overhearing a secret.

Xiao Mo was now completely convinced that Hao Jiayi hadn’t heard Xiao Jinglan’s words just now.

His gaze darkened as he went straight downstairs.

Xiao Jinglan pursed her lips, knowing Xiao Mo was angry, but her words had already been spoken.

What’s done cannot be undone.

All she could do was to steel herself and accompany Xiao Mo, going together to the tearoom on the first floor.

As soon as the door closed, Xiao Jinglan’s face received a resounding slap.

She was caught completely off guard and fell to the ground, utterly dazed.

She looked at Xiao Mo in disbelief, her hand covering her face, "You... you hit me?"

"Are you trying to say I’m not annoyed enough?!" Xiao Mo completely ignored Xiao Jinglan’s sorrowful eyes, glaring at her almost through gritted teeth.

"If Hao Jiayi really was, as you said, an undercover agent sent by the Feng family, what do you think the consequences of your words just now would be?! Do you feel uncomfortable with me still not being dead enough?!"

Xiao Jinglan was dumbfounded by Xiao Mo’s rapid-fire scolding.

Right after she learned of Xiao Mo’s return, she knew that bitch Hao Jiayi would definitely tattle.

It was bad enough that Xiao Mo sided with that woman, but to think he actually hit her for her!

Although she was indeed at fault and shouldn’t have exposed their involvement in Xia Wenjin’s death.

But as long as Hao Jiayi didn’t pass the information to Feng Jiaye and the others, it didn’t matter if she had spoken about it.

She pursed her lips and looked up at Xiao Mo, "The matter with Xia Wenjin has already been concluded overseas. Knowing anything about it now is pointless. Why are you so afraid? It’s not like you did it."

Xiao Jinglan appeared completely indifferent, slowly getting up from the ground, her face looking terribly upset.

Xiao Mo was trembling with rage, "What exactly have you been thinking lately? Why do you always seek trouble? Do you realize how difficult it is for me to clean up the messes you’ve made?!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Xiao Jinglan was already furious, and after being scolded by Xiao Mo, she was also filled with grievance.

Her eyes red with rage, she stared at Xiao Mo and roared at him, "What do I want exactly?! I’m dying! What else can I do?!"

Xiao Mo was brought up short by Xiao Jinglan’s outcry.

It took him a long while to recover, "What are you talking about? Who’s dying?"

"Me! I was poisoned by Xia Wenjin, that bitch, and I’m already close to death! I just wanted to help you get what you wanted before I die, what’s wrong with that?!" Xiao Jinglan’s emotions completely collapsed.

It was very hard for her to accept that her son, whom she had devoted herself to completely, was looking at her with the eyes of an enemy.

She had intended to keep this a secret forever, but now she felt there was no longer any point in hiding it.

Xiao Mo’s brow was knotted, his face a picture of shock as he looked at Xiao Jinglan, still unable to digest the reality.

He stared at Xiao Jinglan in disbelief for a long time before slowly speaking, "You, how much time do you have left?"

Xiao Jinglan scoffed lightly, "The doctor said, at most six more months."

"Six months..." Xiao Mo murmured to himself involuntarily.

Only now did he realize why Xiao Jinglan wanted to kill Song Sinian directly after getting out of the hospital...
