Chapter 276: 275 Regret

In the vast mansion, at this moment, it felt as cold as an ice cellar.

MO Zixuan’s hands were trembling slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief, his handsome face pale as a sheet, devoid of color.

Even though Xiao Wenqing was ruthless and malicious, and had stolen someone else’s husband, caused the death of someone else’s mother, and even not spared the girl he loved.

However, all of this didn’t compare to the shock he felt upon seeing those photos, which he couldn’t comprehend.

She had stooped to any means to marry his father and had become the envied Mrs. MO, basking in the undeserved glory. Why did she need to sleep with other men behind his father’s back?

His father’s health had always been good. Surely he would have been able to satisfy her?

“Mother, is this true? Who is this man?”

MO Zixuan’s voice was neither high nor low, but when it reached Xiao Wenqing’s ears, it felt like a knife was piercing her heart.

For a moment she felt breathless, she was frightened that she might not survive tonight as even her son had spoken to her in such a cold, disappointed

tone.

“He… he’s dead.”

As soon as Xiao Wenqing spoke, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her hand and screamed, nearly fainting from the pain.

“Dead, Wenqing? You could be a bit more creative. When did this man die?

What is his name? Where does he live? When did you start this affair with him?

Also, who gave me slow-acting poison, wanting to kill me without a trace?”

“Dad!”

A tremble ran through MO Zixuan’s voice.

He saw MO Jingteng’s face was ashen.

He turned again to his mother on the floor, her face contorted in pain, “Mom, is what dad saying true?”

“No, it’s not, Zixuan, you have to believe me. How could I want to poison your father? He must be mistaken. I have no idea what’s going on.”

Xiao Wenqing was desperately trying to explain between her sobs and sniffs.

When she saw the photos, it was like being struck by lightning on a sunny day.

At this moment, hearing MO Jingteng talk about the slow-acting poison, she felt utterly hopeless.

Being caught in her infidelity, MO Jingteng could have made her life a living hell, let alone his knowledge about the slow-acting poison.

All she could hope for was for Zixuan to believe her and save her. She wasn’t ready to die like this.

As long as she survived the night, she could find a way to leave the Mo’s mansion.

She had already been in contact with Wu Tianyi before MO Jingteng came home. By tomorrow, her plan would be in action.

Once Wen Ran got into trouble, MO Xiuchen would be thrown into chaos.

Then, MO Jingteng would have to focus on the overall situation of the company and he wouldn’t have time for her. She would have plenty of opportunities to escape.

“Zixuan, I swear, I didn’t do it. I don’t know anything about this slow-acting poison, you have to believe me,” she said, tears streaming down her face.MO Zixuan’s face regained a bit of color, his eyebrows furrowed tightly together.

He was unable to accept the truth: his mother, cheating on his father, trying to harm him.

What was she thinking?

But he couldn’t just stand by and watch her die in front of his father.

Because his father had picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table.

He yanked Xiao Wenqing up, the icy blade of the knife pressed tightly against her well-maintained cheek. This is the face that had captured his heart years ago.

He had been so good to her over the years, giving her whatever she wanted.

Even in the things she did to MO Xiuchen, he turned a blind eye because he couldn’t find any evidence, and so lied to himself, believing it wasn’t her doing.

Nevertheless, she betrayed him, wearing the cuckold’s cap for years now.

If Gu Yan hadn’t told him that he was being slowly poisoned during his last hospitalization and that he only had three months, if not treated in time.

Xiao Wenqing was the one who took care of the Mot s house all these years as MO Xiuchen was hardly ever home.

The members of the staff were all handpicked and trusted by her.

The person who saw the most of him besides Xiao Wenqing was… The thought made him shudder.

At that time, he was as shocked as MO Zixuan is now.

He didn’t want to believe that the woman he had loved for so many years could be so cruel as to want him dead. He decided to investigate Xiao Wenqing during his hospital stay.

He spoke with MO Xiuchen and from his refusal to accept the company and their conversation, he knew that it couldn’t possibly have been MO Xiuchen.

To his surprise, his investigation revealed not Xiao Wenqing’s plot to poison him, but her infidelity.

Xiao Wenqing did keep surprising him, wave after wave.

For this, he decided to pretend to go on a trip to give her and her lover a chance to expose themselves.

On the other hand, he hired a private detective to look for possible evidence within the past two to three years.

Money could indeed make many things possible.

The only regret was that due to MO Xiuchen’s relentless pursuit, Xiao Wenqing was not able to meet with her lover again, having been too busy dealing with other matters.

He had been monitoring her calls and hadn’t heard any useful information. Because the number that she used to contact Wu Tianyi was unknown to others.

The naive MO Jingteng also belonged to those who didn’t know it.

“Dad, maybe, maybe it’s all a misunderstanding. You should let my mum explain,”

Seeing that the knife was about to cut Xiao Wenqing’s face, MO Zixuan said shakingly.

His eyes were fixed on Xiao Wenqing and he called out urgently, “Mum, you have to explain quickly. Tell my dad that none of this is true. You wouldn’t betray him, you wouldn’t poison him,”

Xiao Wenqing was so scared that she couldn’t form coherent sentences, she was anxious and frightened, “Jingteng, believe me, I didn’t do it. It really wasn’t me. The poison… it was MO Xiuchen. He was afraid that you would hand over the company to Zixuan, so he poisoned you. It must have been him, he’s always been so ruthless and malicious…

“Smack!”

A sharp noise cut Wenqing’s words off.

She fell to the ground again with a trickle of fresh blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Jingteng had knocked out two of her teeth.

Her face was in so much pain that it was already numb. The devastated look on her face was unbearable to look at. MO Zixuan opened his mouth to say ‘mum’ but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

“Even now you dare to slander MO Xiuchen, Xiao Wenqing. Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to these years. It’s just that I loved you, so I put up with you. Since you’ve brought up MO Xiuchen, you might as well confess tonight. How many times have you tried to harm him over the years? If it wasn’t for his strong luck, how could he still be alive?”

If earlier he felt guilty towards his smart and capable eldest son.

That pales against the regret MO Jingteng felt when he found out that Xiao Wenqing had not only betrayed him but also tried to kill him.

He hated himself. If he hadn’t been blinded by infatuation with Xiao Wenqing back then, MO Xiuchen’s mother wouldn’t have committed suicide by jumping off the building, and MO Xiuchen wouldn’t have hated him so deeply.

Now, knowing that Xiao Wenqing was having an affair, he didn’t dare to believe that MO Zixuan was his son. Fortunately, MO Xiuchen had grown up safely, or he would have truly hated himself..
