After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 673 - 671: Buff Stacked to the Max
Chapter 673: Chapter 671: Buff Stacked to the Max
Song Sinian also agreed and nodded. Given Feng Xixi’s situation in the Feng family, if she truly had such capability, she wouldn’t be merely a mistress.
After so many years by Fengya Ichiro’s side, she hadn’t managed to accomplish anything noteworthy.
Therefore, her actions seemed even more strange.
What Zhao Xi had just said made him feel that Feng Xixi must have learned of the Xia Family’s situation through some channel, which was why she was throwing caution to the wind.
But how she came to know of it, he feared, could only be pried from the woman’s own lips.
Song Sinian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt an increased wariness towards Feng Xixi in his heart.
Especially the thought that she was now staying by Xia Wenjin’s side made him somewhat worried that she might join forces with Xia Wenjin to cause trouble.
Song Sinian pinched the bridge of his nose irritably, and when he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xi again, he slowly said, "Have the people watching Xia Wenjin split off one or two to keep an eye on Feng Xixi. If she does anything strange, they must report it immediately."
Zhao Xi nodded, "Don’t worry, sir. I will make sure someone keeps a close watch on her."
Initially, Zhao Xi only regarded Feng Xixi as Fengya Ichiro’s mistress, not paying her much attention. However, having listened to Song Sinian, warnings started to sound in his head.
She was the prime culprit in the baby-switching incident years ago and is also Song Sinian’s biological aunt, as their sir conjectured, she might also be Xia Wenjin’s biological mother.
Any one of those associations alone would be enough for vigilance, let alone the fact that this woman’s "buffs" were all stacked up.
They couldn’t afford not to pay attention...
Due to Xiao Mo’s reminder, Xiao Jinglan again feigned an urgent need to contact "Xiao Mo" several times. Fearing that Xiao Jinglan’s suspicions would be raised, the impostor had no choice but to reluctantly return to the Xiao Family.
Zhao Qingfeng sat on the sofa, quietly observing Xiao Jinglan opposite him. Although he felt uneasy, the methods Xia Wenjin had taught him quelled his nervousness.
Fortunately, as Xiao Mo was the apex of the Xiao Family’s hierarchy, even if Xiao Jinglan mentioned something he was unaware of, it would be normal for him to show irritation.
As long as he remained silent, it would be easy to gloss over the matter.
Xiao Jinglan had previously known that the "son" before her was an impostor.
But when she saw the fake son again, she couldn’t help but feel a poignant sense of similarity in her heart – it was remarkably convincing.
So convincing that she, as his mother, hadn’t noticed he was a fake.
However, she had just placed a dish of perfume lemons on the table and put one into the cup in front of Xiao Mo himself, and he had shown no reaction at all.
He had even taken a few sips in front of her, confirming to Xiao Jinglan that the person before her was indeed not her son.
Xiao Mo disliked the taste of lemons and would even lose his temper at the sight of such food.
Not to mention eating it.
It was only then that Xiao Jinglan slowly reined in the emotions at the bottom of her eyes and said with a light laugh, "I heard from Hao Jiayi that you’ve found a woman you like outside, are you planning to marry her?"
Seeing that Xiao Jinglan’s tone was gentle when speaking to him, any unease Xiao Mo had momentarily vanished entirely.
He picked up the glass of lemon water from the table and took another sip, "I... haven’t decided yet. Women, well, I’m not short of them. There’s no rush to get married after I’ve had my fill of playing around, especially since I’m currently married."
These details were among the information Xia Wenjin had given him before.
Though he hadn’t taken them to heart, he still needed to memorize the basics.
After all, he was facing Xiao Mo’s own mother.
He wouldn’t take it even a bit seriously, or he might just crash and burn.
Xiao Jinglan’s expression almost instantly darkened when she heard this impostor mention that her son was still married.
It reminded her of Xia Wenjin, who had already died.
Her fist clenched tightly, and she almost punched Zhao Qingfeng right then and there.
Both she and Xiao Mo knew what had truly happened to Xia Wenjin’s disappearance, but this fraudster certainly didn’t.
Xiao Jinglan’s eyes narrowed slightly—it seemed that even if she hadn’t planned to set a trap, this fool would eventually expose himself.
Her brows furrowed slightly, but she continued speaking with Zhao Qingfeng, "Although Xia Wenjin has been missing for so long, there was news from abroad saying she had met with a tragedy. If you have other intentions, you must tell mom, understand? After all, it has been quite a while since that happened."
Hearing Xiao Jinglan’s tone, Zhao Qingfeng couldn’t help but frown.
Although Feng Ya Meizi was wealthy and powerful, he didn’t want to marry a woman like her.
Turning into this face had certainly had its benefits, but it was after being tricked by Feng Ya Meizi that he had ended up like this.
If she had other plans at the beginning, it would definitely be him who would suffer in the end.
Zhao Qingfeng certainly didn’t want to spend his life with a viper in the guise of a beauty.
Besides, he had served plenty of older female patrons before, but he had also found plenty of young actresses to indulge with.
So he harbored absolutely no illusion about so-called marriage.
Not to mention marrying someone he would have to revere like an ancestor.
All he hoped for now was to keep her happy so he could continue to play joyfully outside.
As for the rest... he held no expectations.
Zhao Qingfeng cleared his throat, "Let’s talk about marriage later... I..."
"What exactly is Feng Ya Meizi to you?" Xiao Jinglan cut him off before he could finish speaking, hardly able to contain her impatience.
She couldn’t help furrowing her brows at the thought of that woman who had almost taken her son’s life.
Zhao Qingfeng was taken aback by her question, staring fixedly at Xiao Jinglan.
He couldn’t quite figure out what this older woman was thinking.
Suddenly, Xiao Jinglan’s phone vibrated. She casually took it out and glanced at it, seeing a new number from Xiao Mo, she knew he wasn’t pleased.
He was in Xiao Mo’s room right now, and he could clearly see every movement in the living room through the camera.
Plus, with the bug on the table, every word between the two was crystal clear to him.
Xiao Jinglan knew she had been a bit too eager with her last question.
That’s why Xiao Mo had called her to remind her.
Xiao Jinglan exhaled softly, "Amo, as you know, the last issue with Xia Wenjin caused so much unrest at home, I was just worried you’d marry another ancestor-figure, you know?"
Zhao Qingfeng’s eyes flickered, pondering for a moment upon hearing Xiao Jinglan’s words.
Before he had a chance to speak, Xiao Jinglan spoke up again, "Think about it, only by knowing the other person’s background can we get a grip on them, right? We can’t have another woman come in to bully you, can we?"
Her expression of an old mother worried for her son indeed puzzled Zhao Qingfeng.
Moreover, when he had been with Feng Ya Meizi before, she always had a hold over him, which made Xiao Jinglan’s words stir waves in his heart.
