"Mr. Mo, what do you mean by this?"
Han Xiao knew that Mr. Mo was a man of his word, which was why she was so terrified upon hearing his statement.
She had once believed that with Shao Xuan's presence, Mr. Mo wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
However, after this incident, Han Xiao realized how naive, foolish, and laughable her thoughts were.
Mr. Mo stared at Han Xiao, his smile not reaching his eyes, which sent shivers down her spine.
She quickly began to explain, "It was the old madam who called me. Even though I bore you a son over the years, no one in your family has ever welcomed me. Even though I've been by your side for so many years without a proper title, the old madam never cared. Do you think she would care about my feelings? I'm telling you the truth. Because the old madam missed you but dared not contact you directly, she contacted me."
Han Xiao's explanation was convincing and sounded like something the old madam would do.
However, Mr. Mo knew in his heart that Han Xiao was not telling the truth.
Mr. Mo gave his assistant a look, and the assistant immediately escorted Han Xiao out of the old house.
Mr. Mo followed closely behind.
He wanted to find Tang Yi and clear things up with her.
He didn't want Tang Yi to misunderstand him.
However, Mr. Mo stopped at the foot of Tang Yi's apartment building.
At that time, there were more important matters that had prevented him from chasing after her. It wasn't that he had believed the old madam and refused to acknowledge Tang Yi's identity.
But Mr. Mo didn't know if Tang Yi would believe his explanation.
Tang Yi had already returned home.
Upon returning home, Tang Yi felt that sense of helplessness, of being loathed and despised by the whole world.
Tang Yi couldn't bear such oppression.
She called Zheng Ze Min.
Zheng Ze Min was shocked to receive Tang Yi's call, so when he heard her crying, he didn't care about anything else. He put down his work and rushed over to comfort Tang Yi.
When Tang Yi opened the door and saw Zheng Ze Min, she didn't say a word. Her eyes were filled with tears. She stepped forward and hugged Zheng Ze Min, her voice muffled.
Seeing this, Zheng Ze Min softly asked, "Yi Yi, what's wrong?"
Zheng Ze Min knew that Tang Yi had gone to the old house today with Mr. Mo to meet her long-lost family.
When Mr. Mo had come in the morning, he had even given Zheng Ze Min a cold look.
How could Tang Yi be back and crying after such a short time?
Could it be that the Mo family had bullied Tang Yi?
But when Mr. Mo had come to pick up Tang Yi this morning, he had been so good to her, it didn't seem like an act at all.
There must be some misunderstanding.
Seeing Zheng Ze Min, Tang Yi felt as if she had found a long-lost relative.
She held onto Zheng Ze Min tightly, afraid that if she let go, he would disappear from her world.
Zheng Ze Min didn't know what had happened to Tang Yi.
He asked her, but Tang Yi wouldn't say anything, just hugged him quietly.
Time ticked by.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yi reluctantly let go of Zheng Ze Min. Seeing that Tang Yi had stopped crying, Zheng Ze Min felt a little relieved.
Tang Yi looked at Zheng Ze Min and abruptly asked, "Lawyer Zheng, do you like me?"
Zheng Ze Min did like Tang Yi, and he had been planning to find a suitable opportunity to confess his feelings to her. However, he hadn't expected that before he was ready to confess, Tang Yi would ask him such a sharp question herself.
How was he supposed to answer?
If he said yes, then after all this time without confessing, it seemed a bit unreasonable.
If he said no, then the last thread of connection between him and Tang Yi would be severed.
Clearly, Zheng Ze Min did not want this to happen.
So, when Tang Yi asked him such a probing question, Zheng Ze Min suddenly didn't know how to respond.
After staring at Tang Yi for a long time, Zheng Ze Min finally spoke faintly, "Yi Yi, why do you suddenly ask me this question?"
Tang Yi didn't explain why, only looking at Zheng Ze Min with hopeful eyes.
Zheng Ze Min was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, I do like you. But I always thought that men should be the ones to bring up such matters, so when you asked me this question, I suddenly didn't know how to respond to you."
"Okay, I promise you."
Before Zheng Ze Min could confess, Tang Yi eagerly responded.
This made Zheng Ze Min even more convinced that something had happened to Tang Yi when she returned to the Mo family's old house today.
Otherwise, given Tang Yi's introverted personality, she wouldn't have said such a bold thing.
"Will you never abandon me again?"
Tang Yi looked at Zheng Ze Min and asked him softly.
But her eyes were full of hope for Zheng Ze Min.
Zheng Ze Min was silent for a moment, looking at Tang Yi, then said softly, "Of course. You're so beautiful, how blind would I have to be to abandon you?"
Originally, Zheng Ze Min had just said it casually, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Besides, what he said was the truth, with no intention of flattery.
Tang Yi was already very beautiful.
If Tang Yi's looks were put into the entertainment industry, she would definitely be a top-tier star.
Her face wasn't the kind that immediately stunned and captivated, but rather a kind of advanced beauty that held one's gaze the longer you looked.
Tang Yi's face was also the only one that hadn't undergone any surgery, yet it looked as good as if it had been done by plastic surgery.
Initially, Zheng Ze Min had trouble distinguishing between Tang Yi and Yan Xi. At first glance, they looked quite similar.
However, upon closer examination, one could still notice the differences.
Tang Yi had an oval face, while Yan Xi had a heart-shaped face.
Seeing that Zheng Ze Min was not responding to her words,
Tang Yi let go of him, her eyes filled with caution and hurt, and asked, "Lawyer Zheng, do you not like me? Were you just trying to make me happy? It's okay, you can tell me the truth. I can handle it."
Zheng Ze Min had just been lost in thought for a moment.
He hadn't expected Tang Yi to misunderstand.
Zheng Ze Min quickly explained to Tang Yi, "You're overthinking it. I was just thinking about why you're so beautiful. I must have saved the Milky Way in my past life to have such a beautiful and excellent girlfriend like you in this life. I don't dislike you, don't misinterpret my meaning."
