Chapter 11: Acting

It was as if he was asking Chi Xiao if she was alright?

Chi Xiao’s expression relaxed slightly. When she thought about how Mo Ting had dragged his sick body to deal with Mo Han’s matter, she couldn’t help but feel more satisfied with Mo Ting. She even changed her mind about wanting to treat Mo Ting just for the sake of his image.

Seeing how Mo Ting treated Han so well, she decided to just barely treat him.

Chi Xiao felt a little awkward. As she watched Mo Ting and Second Uncle Mo fight, Mo Han’s tender voice came into her ears, “Mom, when we were at home, Second Grandpa didn’t like me very much. He always talked bad about dad behind his back. I heard it a few times.”

Chi Xiao also moved closer to Mo Han’s ear and asked, “Does Han Han like Second Grandpa?”

Mo Han quickly shook his head. His small head was like a rattle-drum.

Chi Xiao’s eyes were curved.

It was a pity that Chi Xiao’s face was now covered with a scar. Her curved eyes could scare people to death.

Mo Xuan inadvertently saw it, but he was so scared that his legs went soft.

“Han Han should stay far away from Second Grandpa. You should also stay far away from the people that Second Grandpa arranged for you,” Chi Xiao said as she tidied up Mo Han’s slightly wrinkled clothes. Her entire body was filled with the radiance of a loving mother.

Mo Ting’s peripheral vision did not shift away from Chi Xiao. He did not know what he had thought of, but he did not even have the time to respond to Second Uncle Mo’s words.

No matter how much he tried to curry favor with Mo Ting, Second Uncle Mo thought of himself as an elder. When he saw how Mo Ting ignored him, his heart burned with anger, “Young Ting, I’m talking to you.”

His voice was loud and clear, but when he saw Mo Ting’s expression, his aura suddenly weakened. When he saw Mo Ting’s gaze, Second Uncle Mo also turned his gaze to Chi Xiao, who was taking care of the child.

“Young Ting, I…”

Halfway through his words, Mo Ting stretched out his hand to stop Second Uncle Mo from speaking.

“Second Uncle, there are some things that can’t be done. If you all go back now, I can still pretend that nothing happened. If you are still looking for trouble, why don’t you all go in together?”

After Mo Ting finished speaking, as if it was an agreement, the police officers also came out and called Mo Han and Chi Xiao in.

Chi Xiao’s gaze towards Second Uncle Mo made him understand that he might not be able to solve the problem just because he had money.

Thus, he could only sigh and turn around to leave.

He was indeed the one who had arranged for the nanny to abduct and sell Mo Han. His goal was to have his son replace Mo Ting after Mo Ting’s death. Who knew that his plan would be ruined by a woman like Chi Xiao who no one liked.

Seeing Second Uncle Mo leave, Chi Xiao nodded slightly at Mo Ting. She knew clearly what Mo Ting meant. She also knew that this matter alone could not convict Second Uncle Mo. If he had someone to be his scapegoat, Mo Ting had to be ruthless. It was better to find something that Second Uncle Mo could not push onto someone else.

After Chi Xiao entered the interrogation room, Mo Ting heaved a sigh of relief. He leaned against the back of the chair and panted slowly.

“Young Master!” Mo Ting’s assistant called out worriedly.

However, Mo Ting waved his hand and asked after taking two deep breaths, “Look, does Xiao Xiao look like she’s shining?”

The assistant was stunned and did not answer for a moment.

Mo Ting found it funny and pointed at the assistant and laughed, “I’m asking you.”

Seeing Mo Ting like this, the assistant was even more stunned. He stared at Chi Xiao’s back and thought, could it be that their boss likes ugly people?

The uglier they were, the more he liked them?

Because she was the one who reported the case, and the one who the victim relied upon, Chi Xiao was treated very well by the police. After Chi Xiao finished speaking, they sent her out safely.

Mo Ting saw Chi Xiao come out and greeted her with a smile. He asked, “How’s the situation?”

Chi Xiao also smiled. For some reason, at this moment, she felt an unprecedented peace in her heart.

When the two of them left the police station, the sky was a little bright. Mo Han had already fallen asleep on Chi Xiao’s body.

“Thank you for today.” Mo Ting’s voice was very soft. He gently rubbed Mo Han’s head. The love in his eyes could not be concealed.

Chi Xiao shook her head, “It’s what I had to do.”

The air became quiet.

Mo Ting asked, “Are you interested in acting with me?”

“Acting?”

Mo Ting lowered his head. His eyelashes were extremely long, attracting Chi Xiao’s gaze. She looked down and saw his extremely pale lips. She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

Mo Ting smiled. “You know my family’s situation as well. You know my situation as well.”

Chi Xiao understood immediately. “So you want to fish out the person behind the scenes through acting?”

As he spoke, she gently clapped his hands. “Even if we wanted to find clues now, we won’t be able to find them. Even if we do find them, they can still deny everything. Why not catch them in the act?”

That was indeed the case. They had gone to look for the company’s surveillance cameras yesterday. In the end, the surveillance room said that they had just cleaned out the footage two days ago. After that, whenever they would look for anything else, there would always be problems that prevented them from learning anything.

It was so coincidental that Mo Ting suspected that there was a traitor in their family.

“Alright.” Chi Xiao curled her lips. “I’ll definitely help you with this. It’s just acting. I’m good at it..”
