So, Mr. Mo became even more enraged. He turned to his employees and coldly questioned, "Have you all finished your work?"
The employees, startled, quickly retreated from the scene.
Although they didn't get to see the outcome, they dared not stay any longer. Mr. Mo's gaze was truly terrifying.
They were no match for Mr. Mo at all.
With that thought, the employees all withdrew from the scene.
Meanwhile, Tang Yi's lips curved upward slightly upon seeing Mr. Mo.
No matter how foolish Han Xiao was, at this moment, she understood what was happening.
She just hadn't expected to be set up by that bitch Tang Yi.
Compared to Yu Gui Lan, Tang Yi was the true "green tea" [a term for a manipulative woman who appears innocent], truly terrifying.
After all the employees had left, Tang Yi looked at Mr. Mo and asked with an innocent expression, "Why are you here? This is the ladies' restroom."
Mr. Mo didn't expose Tang Yi. He didn't say, "You called me. I rushed over because I knew something had happened to you."
Mr. Mo simply said softly, "If I hadn't come, you wouldn't even know how badly you were being bullied."
Hearing Mr. Mo's words, Han Xiao quickly tried to explain, "Mr. Mo, don't listen to her. She did this on purpose, she's scheming against me here."
"If you weren't targeting her, why would she scheme against you?"
Mr. Mo's bias was more than a little obvious.
Mr. Mo's words served to help Tang Yi.
Han Xiao's face twisted with anger, but she dared not show it in front of Mr. Mo.
"You shouldn't say it like that. She's also worried about her son, fearing that someone will compete for the family fortune with her and her son in the future. She doesn't mean anything else. If I publicly sign an agreement stating that I won't acknowledge you and won't accept your family fortune, they won't feel so insecure." Tang Yi then looked at Han Xiao and asked innocently, "Is that right, Mrs. Mo?"
Tang Yi's words were quite artful.
On the surface, she was pleading on Han Xiao's behalf, but in reality, with every word Tang Yi spoke, Han Xiao's face darkened a shade.
Tang Yi was intentionally making Old Mo misunderstand that she was after his fortune.
Although this was true, after all these years by Old Mo's side, she did have some feelings for him.
Seeing Tang Yi's understanding nature, even though Han Xiao had treated her so poorly, she was still pleading for Han Xiao.
This magnanimity was exactly like Yu Gui Lan back then.
Mr. Mo looked at Tang Yi and said softly, "Yi Yi, don't worry. I will handle this matter properly. You are my only precious daughter. If I don't give my fortune to you, who else would I give it to except an outsider?"
Han Xiao, hearing Mr. Mo's words at this moment, couldn't care less about anything else. Her eyes widened.
Old Mo's statement meant that she and Mo Shao Xuan were outsiders, and Tang Yi was his biological child. He would give all his fortune to Tang Yi.
No matter how well Han Xiao could pretend in front of Mr. Mo, she was now unsettled. She glared at Tang Yi, wishing she could cut her flesh and drink her blood.
Han Xiao feigned composure and said, "Mr. Mo, even if you don't give me your fortune, you can't disown Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan is your biological son."
Han Xiao specifically emphasized the word "son."
After all, in wealthy families, the most important thing was valuing sons over daughters.
Mr. Mo ignored Han Xiao and turned to Tang Yi, saying softly, "Yi Yi, go to the office and wait for me. I have something else to tell you."
Tang Yi nodded obediently and then turned to leave the restroom.
After Tang Yi left, Mr. Mo's demeanor towards Han Xiao was no longer as gentle.
He snorted and said to Han Xiao, "Do you really think that if Yi Yi doesn't tell me anything, I won't know anything?"
Han Xiao was stunned. What else did Old Mo know?
What did Old Mo mean by that?
Han Xiao suddenly had a bad premonition, but she still feigned composure.
No matter what, Han Xiao couldn't let Mr. Mo see through her. Perhaps Mr. Mo was just trying to trick her here.
Yes, she had to stay calm, not panic, and not incriminate herself.
With that thought, Han Xiao suddenly stood up straight, observed Mr. Mo, and then said, "What do you know? Mr. Mo, I, Han Xiao, have nothing to hide, so why should I be afraid of you trying to trick me here?"
After Han Xiao finished speaking, she saw that Mr. Mo didn't respond.
However, the look in Mr. Mo's eyes was extremely cold.
Han Xiao had a bad feeling.
She paused and then said, "Mr. Mo, I know you dote on your daughter and want to make up for the debt you owe to her and her mother over the years, but you can't be this cruel to me. After all, I gave you a son."
"What's the point of that son? Do you think I've kept him by my side all these years without seeking retribution from you, which means I've truly forgiven you?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Han Xiao was taken aback that Mr. Mo would say such cruel words to her.
Hearing Mr. Mo's words, Han Xiao's heart was filled with even more unease.
Mr. Mo was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll tell you the truth. The only reason I haven't made a move against you is because of Shao Xuan. I can't let Shao Xuan have an incomplete life, with the psychological burden of knowing his father killed his mother."
At this moment, Han Xiao was rendered speechless by Mr. Mo's words.
So, for all these years, Mr. Mo had wanted to kill her, but he had spared her for Shao Xuan's sake.
"Those things you did to Yu Gui Lan, do you really think I wouldn't know just because I couldn't find Yu Gui Lan?"
Han Xiao's heart sank.
That's right, back then, while Mr. Mo was on a business trip, Han Xiao went to Mr. Mo's parents. She showed them a pregnancy test and told them she was pregnant with Mr. Mo's child.
Moreover, it was a boy.
Mr. Mo's parents, who had built their fortune from scratch, placed great importance on their son inheriting the family fortune.
Furthermore, at that time, the Han family was also a scholarly family in the region.
Although they couldn't compare to the Mo family's wealth, Han Xiao's background was much superior to Yu Gui Lan's.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Mo's parents found Yu Gui Lan and forced her to leave Mr. Mo. They even told Yu Gui Lan that Mr. Mo and Han Xiao were preparing to get married, and Han Xiao was already pregnant with Mr. Mo's child.
Yu Gui Lan, who was then pregnant with Tang Yi, was incredibly disheartened by the words of Mr. Mo's parents. It took immense courage for her to leave Mr. Mo.
After Yu Gui Lan left, Han Xiao was still not satisfied. She privately found Yu Gui Lan, recorded the sweet words Mr. Mo had said to Yu Gui Lan during phone calls, and then played them for Yu Gui Lan, telling her that Mr. Mo had said the same sweet words to her, Han Xiao.
