After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 670 - 668 How Are You Sure It’s Me?
Chapter 670: Chapter 668 How Are You Sure It’s Me?
Xiao Mo’s eyes suddenly widened, his mind unable to think fast enough.
"Are you sure that person is me? How can you be sure it’s me?" His eyes stared unwaveringly at Xiao Jinglan, unable to accept the fact that someone had replaced him.
Xiao Jinglan raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "You’re my son, how could I not recognize you?"
"..."
This statement left Xiao Mo completely silent.
It seemed the person impersonating him looked almost exactly like him, even his biological mother couldn’t tell the difference.
He wished he could expose the imposter right now, but thinking of the person who had managed to harm him in secret, Xiao Mo did not dare to act rashly.
He was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Mom, I have something to tell you, but... this isn’t the right place to talk."
Xiao Jinglan’s brows furrowed slightly, about to object, but seeing Xiao Mo’s grim face, she could only nod and say, "Alright then, I’ll take you home, and we can talk there—"
"Don’t. Let’s go to the hotel next door, my current situation isn’t suitable for going home." Xiao Mo said, gripping Xiao Jinglan’s wrist tightly, leaving no room for refusal.
Although Xiao Jinglan found it strange, she still followed Xiao Mo to the hotel nearest to the police station.
All the way there, Xiao Mo kept covering his head, which left Xiao Jinglan rather puzzled.
Though she wanted to ask for clarity, seeing Xiao Mo’s gloomy face, she could only keep silent until they reached the hotel.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Jinglan was sitting on the sofa in the hotel.
By then, Xiao Mo had changed into a clean bathrobe, and had sent the server to buy clothes.
Xiao Jinglan could no longer hold back and asked, "Amo, what exactly do you want to tell me? Don’t scare me..."
Xiao Mo took a deep breath before finally saying, "I’ve been kidnapped these past few days."
"What?!" Xiao Jinglan couldn’t believe her ears, "When were you kidnapped? Today? Then why didn’t you say so at the police station just now? They..."
"Mom!" Xiao Mo put his hand on the frantic Xiao Jinglan, "The things I’m about to tell you might sound ridiculous, but it all really happened. Please, listen patiently until I finish."
At Wen Yan, Xiao Jinglan instantly quieted down.
Her brows were tightly furrowed as she looked at Xiao Mo, "Alright, speak."
Seeing that Xiao Jinglan was calm, Xiao Mo took a deep breath and casually picked up a sandwich from the table and took a bite.
He ate a bit roughly—clearly, he hadn’t had a proper meal in days.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinglan’s heart ached. She raised her hand to pour him a cup of tea and set it beside him, "Eat slowly, Mom isn’t in a rush."
Xiao Mo nodded and quickly finished the sandwich in a few bites.
After eating and drinking a whole cup of tea, he finally felt better.
"These past few days, I was kidnapped and held in an industrial building in the suburbs. During my disappearance, someone took my place."
Xiao Jinglan’s eyes instantly widened, recalling the question Xiao Mo had asked her at the police station.
Her mouth opened in disbelief, "You’re saying the person I’ve been seeing recently isn’t you, but someone impersonating you? But he..."
"Looks a lot like me, right?" Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes, contemplating this issue as well.
If the person hadn’t looked so similar, perhaps his mom wouldn’t have been deceived.
Xiao Jinglan opened her mouth, taking quite a while to digest the news, "No, not just similar, he looked exactly like you."
Xiao Jinglan recalled the Xiao Mo she had seen earlier and felt overwhelmed.
She had always thought that her son was infatuated with pleasures, which was why he ignored her.
But unexpectedly, her son had been kidnapped!
And it happened without her knowledge.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinglan immediately looked at Xiao Mo nervously, "Those people who kidnapped you, did they do anything to you? What exactly do they want?"
"What do they want?" Xiao Mo scoffed, "Of course, they wanted my life!"
His expression darkened, and he then told Xiao Jinglan how he had escaped after being kidnapped.
Such a thrilling incident left Xiao Jinglan chilling to the bone.
She had never expected that in just a few days, she could have lost her son. What was more terrifying was that she hadn’t noticed anything at all.
Xiao Jinglan immediately reached out and held Xiao Mo tightly, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Amo, it’s my fault, I didn’t expect..."
Initially, Xiao Mo didn’t like Xiao Jinglan’s touch, but at that moment, he deeply felt her care.
However, it was merely a fleeting moment.
He thought about how unreliable she was as a mother; he had been gone for so long without her noticing.
If she had noticed any signs earlier, he wouldn’t have suffered so much.
Thinking this, Xiao Mo felt indifferent towards Xiao Jinglan’s apology.
He subtly withdrew his hand and picked up the sandwich on the table, eating slowly.
With the food he had earlier, he wasn’t as hungry as before.
Seeing that Xiao Mo didn’t speak further, Xiao Jinglan cautiously asked, "What are your plans now? Should we call the police right now to arrest the impersonator?"
Xiao Mo, of course, wanted to capture that person and dismember them piece by piece but considering that someone else had kidnapped him, probably as a body double for the impersonator.
His eyes narrowed as if he suddenly remembered something, "Mom, do you know... who Ya Meizi is?"
"Ya Meizi?!" Xiao Jinglan was clearly startled, her voice becoming a bit shrill.
Xiao Mo seemed to react as well, "You know this woman?"
Xiao Jinglan nodded repeatedly, "I know, I heard about her from that woman Hao Jiayi..."
She carefully thought about what Hao Jiayi had said.
After a while, she spoke again, "She said you were bewitched by Hao Jiayi, always sticking close to her."
Although Xiao Jinglan couldn’t recall the exact words, she could still convey the gist of it.
Xiao Mo frowned even more deeply, "I don’t know this woman named Ya Meizi at all, and... she was the one who had me kidnapped."
And even ordered someone to kill him.
He didn’t understand why Ya Meizi had any animosity toward him or why she needed someone else to replace her.
Suddenly, Xiao Mo thought about how fiercely this woman had attacked him before; they must have had some interaction.
As for what incident led to this woman hating him so intensely, he really had no clue.
Xiao Mo thought for a moment and his eyes suddenly narrowed, "Does the impostor not return to the Xiao Family often?"
Xiao Jinglan’s brow furrowed slightly, "He comes back occasionally, but he only sleeps at home and leaves. Sometimes, he even avoids talking to me."
