"Put away that unconvinced look. You've been by my side for so many years and still haven't won my love. You should know by now that you are destined to be a failure."
Now that Mr. Mo had spoken his mind to Han Xiao, his true colors were revealed.
He no longer maintained the pretense of gentlemanly demeanor he had shown Han Xiao before.
"Mo, aren't you afraid of retribution for treating me like this?" Han Xiao's address for Mr. Mo had shifted from "Old Mo" to "Mr. Mo" and finally to "Mo." Her respect and admiration for him had vanished with each instance of his mistreatment.
"Retribution?"
Mr. Mo looked at Han Xiao as if he had heard the funniest joke.
He was silent for a moment, then leaned closer to Han Xiao and said softly, "At first, I thought having an intellectually disabled son with you was my retribution. But I never expected Lan Lan to also have a child with me, and she's a campus beauty, good-looking and intelligent. At that moment, I realized it wasn't me who deserved retribution, but you, Han Xiao."
Han Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief. She never imagined that "Mo" would utter such wicked words.
Regardless of anything else, Mo Shaoxuan was his own flesh and blood. How could he say something so hurtful about his own child?
Han Xiao was so enraged that her blood ran cold.
"By the way, Han Xiao, wasn't your brother defeated in his election campaign? Today, I can tell you that I was the one who sabotaged it. He could have been elected, but who told him to have such a good sister? It was hard for him not to lose."
Han Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
Her brother had the highest approval ratings at the time, yet he had ultimately lost.
Han Xiao had no idea that "Mo" was the one secretly pulling the strings. She had even gone to "Mo" to complain.
At that time, "Mo" had comforted Han Xiao and even offered to help her find connections.
But now, he was confessing that he was behind it all.
Which part was true, and which was false?
Why did Han Xiao suddenly feel as if she didn't know Mr. Mo at all?
Mr. Mo's lips curved into a smile as he looked at Han Xiao, very pleased with her reaction.
Next, he casually recounted all the things he had done to the Han family behind Han Xiao's back over the years.
With each revelation, Han Xiao's heart sank a little further.
Finally, after Mr. Mo had confessed all his actions from years ago, Han Xiao could bear it no longer. She looked at Mr. Mo, completely losing control.
She saw a pair of scissors on Mr. Mo's desk.
She quickly grabbed the scissors and plunged them into Mr. Mo's chest.
Mr. Mo seemed surprised that Han Xiao would dare to lay a hand on him.
He was caught off guard and couldn't react quickly enough to dodge.
The scissors went in, and blood splattered everywhere.
Mr. Mo looked at Han Xiao with eyes that were dark and filled with murderous intent.
Han Xiao didn't truly intend to harm him. It was just that what he had done to the Han family was too outrageous. At that moment, Han Xiao couldn't control her emotions, which led her to lash out.
But now, Han Xiao had regained her composure. She knew very well that Mr. Mo had said all these things just to provoke her.
Yet, she had lost control and actually harmed him.
Although Han Xiao didn't regret what she had done to Mr. Mo, she was worried that he would retaliate against the Han family.
The Han family could no longer withstand any more suffering.
Han Xiao couldn't let the Han family face any further misfortune because of her.
So, as Mr. Mo clutched his chest, blood already seeping through his white shirt, Han Xiao quickly dropped the scissors and rushed forward to support him, asking with concern, "Old Mo, how are you? Are you alright? I'll call you an ambulance."
After speaking, Han Xiao tremblingly took out her phone to call for an ambulance.
Suddenly, she looked up and met Mr. Mo's gaze. Han Xiao asked, "Old Mo, what's the number for the ambulance?"
Mr. Mo didn't answer Han Xiao's question. Instead, he put his phone on speaker and let his bodyguard come in.
Mr. Mo said coldly, "Everything will proceed according to the law. Keep this woman under watch until the police arrive. Do not let her escape."
Han Xiao was genuinely worried about Mr. Mo, but she never expected Mr. Mo to treat her this way.
If Han Xiao had truly wanted to escape, she would have done so long ago and wouldn't be here, concerned for him.
Han Xiao gave a bitter smile. She realized that she still couldn't be completely heartless towards this man.
Soon, both the ambulance and the police arrived.
The ambulance took Mr. Mo away.
The police took Han Xiao away.
As Han Xiao was getting into the police car, she looked back at Mr. Mo.
She looked at the man she had loved with all her heart.
Perhaps Han Xiao hadn't done enough in many aspects.
But undeniably, Han Xiao's love for Mr. Mo was genuine.
If only Han Xiao hadn't fallen in love with this man in the first place, perhaps she wouldn't be in this predicament now.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao sighed, feeling that fate was inescapable and beyond her control.
Mr. Mo was rushed into surgery. He instructed the doctor to call Tang Yi. Seeing an unfamiliar number, Tang Yi directly rejected the call.
However, the calls continued persistently.
When Tang Yi's phone rang for the third time, Zheng Zemin asked, "Whose call is it? Why aren't you answering?"
"I don't know. It's an unfamiliar number, and I just don't feel like answering."
"You should answer it. What if someone needs to reach you?"
Tang Yi had initially not wanted to answer, but upon hearing Zheng Zemin's words, she cautiously asked, "Then should I answer it?"
Zheng Zemin nodded.
Tang Yi reluctantly pressed the answer button.
The doctor's words reached Tang Yi's ears.
Tang Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "His matters have nothing to do with me. From now on, whether he lives or dies, do not contact me again."
With that, she hung up the phone.
However, despite her words, after receiving that call, Tang Yi found herself distracted and unable to concentrate on anything.
Zheng Zemin saw through Tang Yi's pretense.
He said, "Yi Yi, I'll accompany you to the hospital to see him."
"I told you I'm not going. If you want to go, you can go by yourself." Tang Yi continued to maintain her facade.
Zheng Zemin knew that Tang Yi was being childish again. He had no choice but to patiently try to reason with her.
In the end, Tang Yi relented and went to the hospital with Zheng Zemin.
