Wait a minute, did Chi Xiao’s words just now contain too much information?

Asking her husband to look for trouble with her father?

Chi Xiao had an innocent look on her face as she attentively watched Wen Yu’s expression change from moment to moment.

Wen Yu had experienced a lot of inner turmoil, but in the end, he still had to bend over for money. He gave up on his usual rule of not being a third party, and he pretended to casually brush his hair that had fallen from his ears. His entire body was emitting a hormonal aura.

“Your father is really too much. He doesn’t cherish a good daughter like you.”

Wen Yu wanted to say that Chi Xiao was beautiful, but looking at Chi Xiao’s face, he couldn’t go against his conscience and say the word “god-looking.”

How blind could a person be to say that Chi Xiao was good-looking?

Chi Xiao thought for a moment, then curved her lips and said, “It’s alright. I’m always angry with my father. In the past, I often didn’t give my father face in front of outsiders. Maybe that’s why my father doesn’t like me?”

Wen Yu was almost stunned by Chi Xiao’s words. He thought that if it were him, he would probably not acknowledge his daughter anymore.

Chi Xiao continued, “Actually, my father doesn’t want to acknowledge me anymore. Of course, it’s the same for me. It’s a pity that my family isn’t very rich. If I want to make a fortune, I can only borrow the power of other families. Hence, my father kept me for an arranged marriage.”

Before Wen Yu could think of whether he should comfort her or praise her, Chi Xiao continued, “But fortunately, the arranged marriage happened and I met my husband now. Otherwise, I don’t know when I would be able to take revenge on my father.”

Wen Yu:”…” this lady’s thoughts were somewhat unconventional.

The car soon arrived near the Mo family. Originally, Wen Yu wanted to boil a frog in warm water and take his time. After all, there was someone behind him who gave him money and clues.

Unexpectedly, after Chi Xiao got off the car, she bent down and forcefully dragged Wen Yu into the Mo family’s old mansion.

Wen Yu was shocked and began to recount what happened today. After confirming that Chi Xiao’s reaction was too strange and that the person was very happy to give him money, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn’t help but think, could this be a trap?

These people wanted to murder him for money?

At this moment, Wen Yu looked at the Mo family’s old mansion and felt that this imposing old mansion was now a devil’s den that had retracted its claws and teeth.

The scar on Chi Xiao’s face made him think that the people here wanted to capture others. However, because those people resisted, their faces were injured in the process and that was why they were injured like she was.

With this thought in mind, Wen Yu looked at Chi Xiao’s face and felt even more fearful.

Just as he stepped into the Mo family’s old mansion, Wen Yu’s legs went weak and he sat on the ground paralyzed. He grabbed Chi Xiao’s pants and said, “I was wrong, I was wrong. Let me go, let me go!”

Chi Xiao looked at Wen Yu strangely. Under the surprised gazes of the many nannies, he slowly asked, “What’s wrong? I didn’t want to do anything to you.”

However, how could Wen Yu listen to all this at this moment?

He thought that the surrounding nannies were accomplices in human trafficking. Perhaps this was their usual routine. Originally, with Wen Yu’s physical strength, he could have escaped from here. However, Wen Yu was first shocked by himself. At this moment, he actually could not muster up any strength. He was so shocked that he fainted.

“Eh?”

Chi Xiao looked at Wen Yu and was slightly shocked. A moment later, she struggled her pants out of his clutch and looked coldly at Wen Yu who had fainted on the ground. She sneered, “With such guts, you still dare to do such a thing?”

Seeing that Mo Ting was being pushed over, Chi Xiao curled her lips into a smile and said, “Ah, you probably received money and wanted to seduce me. In the end, you fainted for no reason.”

Mo Ting didn’t even glance at Wen Yu, who was lying on the ground. He only said softly, “Isn’t it a little bad for you to put yourself in danger like this?”

Under Mo Ting’s disapproving gaze, Chi Xiao said obsequiously, “It’s not dangerous either. Just like this, I can beat three weaklings by myself.”

Before Chi Xiao could finish speaking, she noticed Mo Ting’s gaze. She lowered her head and said softly, “Okay, okay. I definitely won’t do it again in the future.”

Mo Ting looked at Chi Xiao a few more times to make sure that what she said wasn’t a lie. Then, he gave Chi Xiao one last warning look and instructed his assistant, “Go and take a look at that thing.”

Soon, Wen Yu was brought away by his assistant.

Chi Xiao pushed Mo Ting into the house. When she stepped through the door,s he even stuffed a piece of candy into Mo Ting’s mouth. “You’ve already eaten today’s meal. Have a candy to replenish yourself.”

Mo Ting licked the candy with the tip of his tongue. He only felt that this sweet taste was sweet to his heart.

“Tell me, why did that person find someone to seduce me?” Chi Xiao peeled another orange.

“Because you’re my lucky star?”

“How is that an answer?” Chi Xiao didn’t believe it.

Mo Ting changed his posture. “It can’t be that they want me to experience the feeling of being cuckolded, right?”

Chi Xiao paused. “I suddenly realized that your family members seem to be quite superstitious.”

This meant that she agreed with Mo Ting’s statement that she was his lucky star.

Mo Ting gently tapped his finger. Indeed, he did not feel that such a reason was credible. Currently, it was more likely that the other party knew that Chi Xiao could treat his illness, which was why they sent someone to seduce her. It was low-cost and inconspicuous..
