Forbidden Game: Ruthless CEO, Please Set Me Free

Chapter 504: Reap What You Sow (2)

Seeing her somewhat lost in thought, Mrs. Chen spoke again, "Saying this might upset you. But if you’re determined not to awaken, I still have to say it."Qiao Mo looked at her without speaking.

"Actually, the woman Nancheng has been looking for isn’t dead. But she’s living a very miserable life." Mrs. Chen said gently.

Not dead?

Very miserable...

Did they previously think the woman was dead?

Qiao Mo’s head was a mess, but the more she tried to think, the less she could recall anything.

The memories still remained blank, except for the journal records she had written.

Yet, peculiarly, the pages from seven years ago had been ripped out.

What does Mrs. Chen mean by her words?

Could it be that they have already found that woman...

Thinking of this, Qiao Mo’s face turned a bit pale, unsure if Fu Nancheng would go looking for her once he knew.

"Qiao Mo, think about it. If Nancheng knows of her existence and knows she’s living miserably, do you think those youthful memories won’t stir him? Do you think he would still treat you the same?"

Qiao Mo shook her head, not wanting to hear her speak anymore.

She realized that this woman was truly formidable.

Not warm or cold, but little by little, she wavered Qiao Mo’s heart and her faith.

She must trust Fu Nancheng, or perhaps the woman’s situation is just Mrs. Chen’s fabrication?

"If Nancheng chooses her, I am willing to bear it. But he doesn’t want to choose Chen Shiqing now, so why does Mrs. Chen have to go to such lengths?"

Seeing Qiao Mo remain unmoved, Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, "I am unwilling to disclose the woman’s news only because harming others by eight thousand damages oneself by a thousand. After all, her appearance is also disadvantageous to Shi Qing."

"But I’ll say this now, if Shi Qing can’t marry Nancheng, I absolutely won’t let you enjoy this happiness." Mrs. Chen’s voice became sharper, filled with warning and threat.

Qiao Mo looked at her demeanor somewhat lost...

Is this what a mother is?

No matter the cost, she would do anything to protect her child.

Amusingly enough, for a moment, she envied Chen Shiqing, even if she was spoiled, she had a mother willing to labor everything for her.

Mrs. Chen was slightly taken aback by Qiao Mo’s gaze, stared at Qiao Mo for a while before moving her eyes.

Undeniably, Qiao Mo’s beauty was truly striking. At least Shi Qing paled in comparison to her.

Qiao Mo regained her senses and said again, "Mrs. Chen, I can’t stop what you want to do, but if you intend to do it, go ahead. I just hope your actions truly bring happiness to Chen Shiqing."

Having said that, Qiao Mo reached out to open the car door.

Mrs. Chen seemed a bit unwilling and said again, "Are you sure about this? Won’t you regret it?"

Qiao Mo chuckled lightly, "There’s nothing to regret... even if I fall a few times, it doesn’t matter. Life is just like this."

"Regreting nothing even if you end up with nothing?" Mrs. Chen was unwilling.

This time, Qiao Mo simply didn’t answer. Everyone experiences different things in this world, and life views and world views also differ.

She couldn’t force Mrs. Chen to understand her perspective, but she wouldn’t agree with Mrs. Chen’s ideology either. Hopefully, all she’s doing is genuinely for Chen Shiqing’s good.

After Qiao Mo got out of the car, Mrs. Chen watched Qiao Mo’s back, her face darkened.

The bodyguard in the front seat turned to Mrs. Chen, whispered, "Ma’am, what should we do with Qiao Mo if she refuses the carrot and accepts only the stick?"

Mrs. Chen lowered her eyes and tightened her grip on the handbag.

"Since my kind approach wasn’t appreciated, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
