Chapter 472: 471 left you behind and ran away

G City Police Station

The room where Mo Xiuchen and Xiao Wenqing met last night. Today, the person sitting in front of Xiao Wenqing was her son, Mo Zixuan.

Upon seeing Xiao Wenqing, Mo Zixuan’s eyes flashed with shock. After a few seconds, he asked with concern: “Mum, what happened to your face?”

Xiao Wenqing today was even more disheveled than she was yesterday.

Her hair was messy, there were several bloody marks on the left side of her face and the right side was swollen and red, and her clothes were filthy.

Xiao Wenqing did not respond to Mo Zixuan’s words. Instead, she walked over slowly, looking at him with an alien gaze. After sitting down, she said coldly, “Didn’t you sever our mother-son relationship? What are you doing here?”

Mo Zixuan’s expression changed, but quickly returned to normal. Looking at Xiao Wenqing, he said with reproach: “Mum, I did all that to appease dad. Think about it. There were rumors about you and Wu Tianyi, moreover, the newspapers published that you were the culprit who killed Wen Hongrui and his wife and Zhou Mingfu. Given dad’s temper, how could he let me stay in the company?”

A look of aggrievement appeared on Mo Zixuan’s face. After a pause, a trace of anger seeped into his tone. “Apart from dad, there are also those old fossils in the company who wanted to kick me out when they learned about you. Although Mo Xiuchen is not in the company, Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu are still there. It felt like everyone was after me.”

“If I did not publicly sever ties with you, I would have ended up on the streets. Mum, do you want to see me reduced to the level of a beggar, with people sneering and scornful?”

A fleeting unusual emotion flashed in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes. Once upon a time, this son was everything to her. Everything she had strived for over the years was for him.

When did he start to gradually stop obeying her?

Apparently, it started when he met Wen Ran. At that time, he began to have his own ideas, and as he started dating Wen Ran, he gradually distanced himself from her.

Latter, for Wen Ran, he quarreled with her. She asked him to marry Zhou Lin, but he refused. She had no choice but to arrange for someone to handle Zhou Mingfu…

The root cause was Wen Ran!

Thinking of this, a glint of hatred flashed in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes. It was because of Wen Ran that she was arrested today. That woman seemed to be her nemesis, constantly ruining her plans and leading to her current predicament.

She vowed, even if she died, she would take Wen Ran down with her, she wouldn’t let her get off easy.

“Zixuan, I am your mother, of course, I don’t want you to end up on the street. Your Uncle Wu and I had discussed, in a little while, you would go abroad with us. But now it seems impossible.”

“Mum, Wu Tianyi is not a good person, you shouldn’t get involved with him. If it wasn’t for him, our family would still be intact, and dad wouldn’t hate you.”

Just the mention of Wu Tianyi provoked resentment in Mo Zixuan.

“Zixuan, you can’t speak about your Uncle Wu like that. He has always been very nice to me.” Even now, Xiao Wenqing was still defending Wu Tianyi. The reason she was caught by the police was that she acted on her own without informing Wu Tianyi. Otherwise, given Wu Tianyi’s meticulous strategies, she wouldn’t have been caught so easily.

Mo Zixuan glared at Xiao Wenqing angrily, and said in a harsh voice, “If he’s such a good person, why did he let you commit murder? If he’s such a good person, why did he intrude on our family, making my dad believe that you are promiscuous? If he’s such a good person, why did he let you get arrested and escape by himself?”

“Zixuan, it’s not what you think.”

A complicated emotion flashed in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes. “I was caught because I didn’t take your Uncle Wu’s advice and didn’t plan thoroughly.”

“Then why didn’t he come to save you?”

Mo Zixuan’s tone was mocking, “Mum, you trust Wu Tianyi too much. Do you really think that in all these years, you are the only woman he has? That’s not the case, I’m telling you, he has other women, more than one.”

Xiao Wenqing’s face changed abruptly, she blurted out: “Impossible, Zixuan, you must be mistaken. Your Uncle Wu has always been sincere to me, he can’t possibly have other women.”

“What about my dad, wasn’t his affection for you genuine? Over the years, he’s turned a blind eye to everything you’ve done, even if it meant harming his own flesh and blood. He never interfered. Mum, you only see the good that Wu Tianyi has shown you and don’t consider that if you were not with my dad and couldn’t offer him those benefits, would he still be good to you?”

Mo Zixuan spoke earnestly, in his view, his father, Mo Jingteng, had truly shown extreme kindness to Xiao Wenqing, and it was precisely for this reason that he had felt a tiny bit of guilt toward Mo Xiuchen when he was little.

He had taken Mo Xiuchen’s father, and his mother had caused the death of Mo Xiuchen’s mother. At a young age, Mo Xiuchen had to leave Mo’s mansion to live alone outside.

If he were in Mo Xiuchen’s shoes, he wouldn’t have been able to survive.

Xiao Wenqing showed a touch of emotion. She was well aware of how good Mo Jingteng had been to her over the years. But she didn’t love him. The man she loved was Wu Tianyi.

For Wu Tianyi, she had deceived Mo Jingteng, she had lied to him and spent his money to help Wu Tianyi start his business, she had once doubted whether Wu Tianyi would still persistently love her for so many years without her providing those material benefits.

Obviously, there was no answer to this.

“Mum, believe it or not, Wu Tianyi does have other women besides you. I had him investigated. It’s just that he currently doesn’t have contact with that woman, so I can’t provide you with any evidence yet.”

Mo Zixuan didn’t appear to be lying. Instead, the anger in his tone seemed like he was expressing indignation on behalf of Xiao Wenqing. “He’s been living off your money while keeping other women. Yet you still think he treats you well, you are really naive.”

“Is what you said true?”

Xiao Wenqing didn’t doubt Wu Tianyi, but everything Mo Zixuan said seemed plausible.

She couldn’t help but harbor doubts in her heart. Not to mention that she was just Wu Tianyi’s lover, even as a wife, she couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be unfaithful.

Wu Tianyi and she wouldn’t see each other many times in a year. How could he possibly stay faithful to her during all the time they were apart?

“Of course it’s true, if you don’t believe me, wait until I find the evidence. I’ll show it to you. Prepare yourself mentally. Speaking of you being caught this time, would Wu Tianyi come to rescue you?”

“He won’t rescue me.”

Xiao Wenqing’s voice was somewhat disheartened. Of course, she didn’t want to end up as she was now. If Wu Tianyi hadn’t left her, she wouldn’t have had to come forward for those matters.

“Mum, tell me the truth, did Wu Tianyi abandon you and run away when the police arrived?”

Mo Zixuan stared at Xiao Wenqing, trying to catch any subtle changes in her expressions. In order to persuade Xiao Wenqing to reveal Wu Tianyi’s whereabouts, he first needed to sow discord between their relationship.
