If it weren't for the prior investigation and knowledge that Mr. Mo was Tang Yi's biological father, Han Xiao would have been misled by their relationship.
After Tang Yi left, Han Xiao looked at Mr. Mo and said, "Mr. Mo, Ms. Tang is now wary of you. The more you push, the more she will resist you."
Mr. Mo thought about it carefully and realized it was true.
However, in front of Han Xiao, Old Mo calmly asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"I have a good idea. Ms. Tang and I are both women. She might reject you, but she doesn't reject me. If I were to communicate with Ms. Tang, perhaps the situation would be different."
"You?" Mr. Mo was highly skeptical of Han Xiao.
Han Xiao couldn't even properly raise her own son.
How could Mr. Mo believe that Han Xiao could handle this matter well?
However, Mr. Mo did not say anything too harsh.
Han Xiao smiled and explained, "Old Mo, I'm a woman, and I understand women better than you do. Now, because of you, Ms. Tang has become a trending topic. In the future, her dating life and career will be affected. Why don't you follow my plan first?"
Although Mr. Mo didn't have much faith in Han Xiao's character, there didn't seem to be any better options at the moment.
Therefore, after Han Xiao spoke, Mr. Mo was silent for a moment and then asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Han Xiao leaned close to Mr. Mo's ear and whispered, "The Mo Group's annual meeting is in a few days. If you ask me to be your female companion, everyone will forget about your scandal with Ms. Tang."
Mr. Mo frowned. He knew that Han Xiao's intentions were not as simple as they seemed.
Han Xiao also knew that her plan was a bit too hasty, causing Mr. Mo to become wary of her.
However, Han Xiao managed to smooth things over with her persuasive words.
She looked at Mr. Mo and explained, "Think about it, you haven't had a woman by your side for so many years. If you suddenly get so close to Ms. Tang, everyone will suspect your relationship with her."
"I'm her father, am I supposed to disown her?"
In front of Han Xiao, Mr. Mo couldn't help but lose his temper and curse.
Han Xiao knew that Mr. Mo was just too anxious.
Han Xiao smiled and explained, "I know you're eager to reunite with your daughter, but this will only bring her endless trouble. You know, there are also abnormal father-daughter relationships nowadays, with rumors of 'godfathers' and 'goddaughters' all over the internet. So, if you come forward and hold a press conference, people will think you're deliberately slandering her for the company's image."
"Then what do you suggest?" Mr. Mo frowned.
He had truly fallen out of touch with the times, not even aware of these issues.
He only knew that Tang Yi was his daughter, his biological daughter. He only wanted to give Tang Yi everything he could, to make up for the years of neglect towards Tang Yi and Yu Guilan.
Although he knew that money wasn't everything, with his current capabilities, money was all he had to offer.
"Do as I say. For your company's annual meeting, I'll be your female companion and introduce myself as Shao Xuan's biological mother. That way, even if you want to acknowledge Ms. Tang, people won't suspect you and Ms. Tang of having an inappropriate relationship."
Mr. Mo frowned.
Although Han Xiao's words were reasonable.
He truly did not want to be involved with a woman like Han Xiao.
Therefore, after Han Xiao made this request, Mr. Mo's brows remained furrowed.
Mr. Mo knew that once he was involved with Han Xiao, even if it was just as his female companion at the Mo Group's annual meeting, it would be difficult to explain away later.
Mr. Mo was well aware of this woman's deep schemes.
"Mr. Mo, I'm under your nose. Do you think I dare to play any tricks? This is currently the most convincing way for you to proceed. As for Ms. Tang, I can approach her, which will also help avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Although Mr. Mo didn't trust Han Xiao's character, for Tang Yi's sake, Mr. Mo humbled himself and agreed to Han Xiao's suggestion.
Mr. Mo knew that Han Xiao was full of tricks. He looked at Han Xiao coldly and warned, "I advise you not to play any games with me, or your brother's company will be in trouble."
Han Xiao, while outwardly agreeing, was secretly calculating her own plans.
After Tang Yi left the coffee shop, she had only walked a few steps when she heard a car honking at her.
Tang Yi frowned and turned around, seeing Zheng Zemin's car.
Tang Yi pursed her lips. She had a rough idea that Zheng Zemin was looking for her, most likely because of the online rumors about her "inappropriate relationship" with Mr. Mo.
Tang Yi got into the car.
Zheng Zemin looked at Tang Yi and suddenly said, "I was worried about you when you suddenly disappeared. I searched everywhere for you. I searched for you every day you were gone, using every connection I had."
Tang Yi's heart tightened upon hearing this. Ever since her mother passed away, Tang Yi had thought she was insignificant in this world. She had never imagined she was so important.
Hearing Zheng Zemin say this, it was difficult for Tang Yi not to be moved. She didn't know how to respond.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Tang Yi lowered her head and remained silent.
The next second, Zheng Zemin spoke again, "But I really didn't expect you to find such an old man. What exactly do you see in him?"
Money?
Or power?
If it was power, didn't Fu Yan Ting's power far exceed Mr. Mo's?
Fu Yan Ting was still young. Why didn't Tang Yi fall for Fu Yan Ting back then?
If it was money?
Although Zheng Zemin was not in business, he had handled countless lawsuits over the years and accumulated considerable savings.
Zheng Zemin's savings were no less than Mr. Mo's, perhaps even more.
Therefore, Zheng Zemin genuinely couldn't understand what Tang Yi saw in Mr. Mo.
Whatever it was, Zheng Zemin had no shortage of it.
Tang Yi never expected that Zheng Zemin would wait for her here and say so many things just to humiliate her.
Tang Yi's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
She sized up Zheng Zemin.
Originally, Tang Yi had wanted to explain, but after hearing Zheng Zemin's words, she suddenly felt that whether she explained or not no longer seemed to matter.
Her expression was extremely displeased, but she maintained a calm demeanor as she looked at Zheng Zemin. After a long while, Tang Yi asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Did you specifically wait here for me just to say these things?"
