Brought back?
And then?
Would that make Tang Yi resent him even more?
Mr. Mo said nothing, and the assistant didn't know what he meant.
Sizing up Mr. Mo, the assistant didn't dare to breathe.
Mr. Mo's silence made him look very stern. The assistant knew that Mr. Mo was angry.
The assistant was so scared he didn't dare to speak.
After a long while, just as the assistant thought Mr. Mo wouldn't speak, he finally said, "I just want to compensate her. Is that too much to ask?"
"Boss, everyone has different ideas. Perhaps Teacher Tang doesn't want your compensation. Doing so might tarnish the feelings between you and her mother."
Mr. Mo knew that compensating Tang Yi with money was an insult to her and her mother.
However, Mr. Mo was left with nothing but money, and he didn't know how else to make amends.
After Tang Yi left, photos of her getting into Mr. Mo's car also trended on hot searches.
Zheng Zemin found out Tang Yi's whereabouts from these trending topics.
However, Zheng Zemin hadn't expected that Tang Yi already had someone she loved.
Although Mr. Mo was older, he was mature, steady, and successful in his career, and could offer Tang Yi a lot of help.
Compared to Mr. Mo, Zheng Zemin knew he had lost without even trying.
He had lost completely.
He had lost spectacularly.
Although Zheng Zemin felt a pang of bitterness, he respected Tang Yi's choice.
He would not interfere with her; he would find her and sincerely offer his blessings in person.
Meanwhile, Han Xiao narrowed her eyes upon seeing the trending news of Tang Yi and Mr. Mo together.
This woman looked so much like Yu Gui Lan.
Han Xiao could not allow anyone to shake her and Mo Shao Xuan's position in Mr. Mo's heart.
Although Mr. Mo had not married her for many years, he doted on Mo Shao Xuan immensely.
As long as there were no other women around Mr. Mo, that would be good news for Han Xiao.
She could continue to use the excuse of visiting their child to openly get close to Mr. Mo.
Mr. Mo was a normal man, and she didn't believe he would always ignore her.
His current refusal to accept her was because he was still angry with her; once his anger subsided, things would be fine.
Besides, the doctor had said that Mo Shao Xuan's condition would improve with time and that his development would eventually normalize. This was just a temporary situation, and she didn't need to worry too much.
When that time came, she would achieve status through her son.
For now, she just needed to endure a little hardship.
However, Han Xiao would not allow anyone to disrupt her plans.
Han Xiao hired a private investigator to secretly look into Tang Yi's background and her mother's situation.
The next day, Mr. Mo was furious after seeing the trending news about him and Tang Yi.
It was utter nonsense. He and Tang Yi had a legitimate father-daughter relationship; how could people spread such rumors?
If it were anyone else, Mr. Mo, being upright, wouldn't have cared.
But this time was different.
He couldn't let Tang Yi misunderstand him as someone who engaged in inappropriate relationships.
Mr. Mo furiously ordered his assistant to handle the matter and to sue those who spread false information.
As the assistant got busy, Mr. Mo thought it necessary to find Tang Yi and explain things clearly to her. He didn't want her to misunderstand him.
He wanted to leave a good impression on Tang Yi.
Although he knew it was unlikely.
So, Mr. Mo called Tang Yi.
Tang Yi answered, her tone indifferent as she asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Yi Yi, about the online…"
"Mr. Mo, I don't know you well. Please call me Teacher Tang."
Mr. Mo was taken aback, then gave a wry smile and changed his tune. "Teacher Tang, there are rumors online about an improper relationship between us. Are you free now? We can go and clarify things."
Tang Yi initially wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that her mother had died of anger partly due to her scandals. Tang Yi didn't want her mother to rest in peace if these rumors persisted.
So, after a moment of silence, Tang Yi said, "Alright."
Mr. Mo seemed surprised by Tang Yi's quick agreement.
He arranged a meeting place with Tang Yi and hung up the phone.
Tang Yi looked at the phone, unsure if her decision was right or wrong.
But since she had already agreed, she had to go to the meeting.
Tang Yi tidied herself up and went to the coffee shop they had agreed upon to wait for Mr. Mo.
When Tang Yi arrived, Mr. Mo wasn't there yet. However, Han Xiao, sitting at the next table, kept staring at Tang Yi.
Tang Yi didn't know Han Xiao and wondered why she was looking at her like that.
But Han Xiao's gaze felt like a venomous snake, sending a chill down Tang Yi's spine.
Tang Yi quickly averted her gaze, not wanting to look at Han Xiao.
Seeing that Tang Yi dared not meet her gaze, Han Xiao thought she was a coward, just like Yu Gui Lan.
Han Xiao's lips curved into a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.
Soon, Mr. Mo arrived. Han Xiao immediately went up to him and asked, "Old Mo, why are you here? Aren't you busy with work?"
Mr. Mo looked at Han Xiao coldly and asked indifferently, "What did you call me?"
Han Xiao was stunned, not expecting Mr. Mo to ask her such a heartless question.
It took Han Xiao a moment to react. She was unwilling, but she knew very well Mr. Mo's temper.
He might seem easygoing and amiable, but in reality, Mr. Mo was harder to deal with than anyone.
Han Xiao knew this from experience.
Once Mr. Mo made up his mind, he wouldn't change it, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, or how many people pleaded with him.
When Han Xiao gave birth to Mo Shao Xuan, Mr. Mo had kicked her out.
Everyone had said that a child shouldn't be without a mother and pleaded with Mr. Mo to forgive Han Xiao for Mo Shao Xuan's sake.
But Mr. Mo was unmoved.
Finally, others comforted Han Xiao, telling her to leave for now and return when Mr. Mo's anger had subsided.
Moreover, since she had given birth to Mo Shao Xuan for Mr. Mo, he wouldn't deny her.
Even if Mr. Mo didn't acknowledge her, Mo Shao Xuan would acknowledge Han Xiao's identity when he grew up.
Therefore, for years, although Han Xiao had left the Mo family, she had remained connected to the Mo family and had been brainwashing Mo Shao Xuan.
She made Mo Shao Xuan use his own methods to drive away all other women from Mr. Mo's side.
Now, meeting him again, Han Xiao thought Mr. Mo wouldn't be so heartless, at least not outwardly disrespectful.
But she didn't expect that simply calling him "Old Mo" would make him so angry.
Helplessly, Han Xiao changed her approach, "Mr. Mo, how has Shao Xuan been recently?"
