sky-high engagement

Chapter 417
Lin Jinyao knew that Su Mo had completely let go of the past. To her, he was just an old friend who was better than a stranger.

Such a discovery made Lin Jinyao very painful. He knew that he should let go, although he was still a little unwilling.

Swallowing the bitterness in his heart, Lin Jinyao said, "I'm leaving Hongsheng."

"I know that." In front of him, Su Mo did not hide anything.

Lin Jinyao looked at her in surprise, "Since you know, why didn't you come to me?"

Su Mo was more surprised than him, "Why did I find you?"

Yes!Why are you looking for him?

She already has Xiao Nanye, how can she use him?
The bitterness in his throat became more and more bitter, and Lin Jinyao could only swallow it down. He touched his pocket, took out a cigarette, and glanced at Su Mo when he was about to light it, "Mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

Su Mo shook her head, watched him skillfully light the cigarette, and wanted to ask him when he learned it, but then thought that he had no position, so he didn't ask.

A cigarette was half burned, but Lin Jinyao didn't say what he wanted to say, but Su Mo promised Wu Ma that he would go back early tonight.

"I should go back." Su Mo got up and planned to leave.

At this moment, Lin Jinyao seemed to have made up his mind.

He pressed the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray, and with a hoarse voice in his smoked voice, he asked her, "Momo, do you know Fourth Master Xiao?"

"Fourth Uncle?" Su Mo was surprised that he would mention this person.

Lin Jinyao's gaze shifted from the cigarette butt that had not been completely extinguished to Su Mo's face, "He seems to be too concerned about Xiao Nanye's affairs. He doesn't want you to be together, so he did something behind his back."

Su Mo was too surprised by what he just heard, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait, wait a minute, how do you know these things?"

A look of guilt flashed in Lin Jinyao's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, looked at Su Mo worriedly and said, "He came to look for me, I hope I can persuade you to leave Xiao Nanye."

Su Mo's face changed, and before he could think about it, the word 'why' had already blurted out.

Although Lin Jinyao and Xiao Mubai had the same purpose, they both hoped that Su Mo would not be with Xiao Nanye, and had cooperated several times, but he never thought of hurting her.

Seeing Su Mo's worried expression, Lin Jinyao comforted her and said, "Don't panic, I found a private detective to investigate him, and found something."

"What did you say?" Su Mo looked at Lin Jinyao in disbelief. He actually asked a private detective to investigate Xiao Mubai, "Lin Jinyao, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Seeing the defense in Su Mo's eyes, Lin Jinyao smiled wryly and said, "I know this is not done by an honest gentleman, but I'm afraid he will hurt you."

Even though he said this, Su Mo still disagreed. She shook her head and said, "Lin Jinyao, Fourth Uncle is not a prisoner. How can you spy on other people's privacy? Do you know that doing so is equivalent to a crime, and you may be sent to jail !"

"What if this privacy has something to do with Xiao Nanye? Do you want to know?" Lin Jinyao said this retaliatoryly, and then quietly waited for Su Mo's reaction.

Seeing the disapproval on Su Mo's face gradually turned into surprise and worry, Lin Jinyao's heart was riddled with holes, and died again today.

She is such a principled person, but it is really not easy for her to give up her principles for Xiao Nanye.

It seemed that that man had surpassed everything in her heart.

Lin Jinyao sighed, not wanting to worry Su Mo too much, he didn't hide anything, and told her everything he knew.

"Many years have passed, and there are some things that cannot be investigated, but what is certain is that there is some special relationship between Fourth Master Xiao and Ling An'an. Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, it can be seen from his treatment of Xiao Nanye. You can tell with your attitude that the rumors are likely to be true.”

Su Mo's intuition was not good, and he unexpectedly remembered Xiao Yufeng's hesitant expression on the back mountain that day, and subconsciously asked, "What rumors?"

In fact, this matter should not be said by himself, but Lin Jinyao felt that Xiao Mubai's intentions were unclear. Since he no longer planned to cooperate with him, he had to tell Su Mo as soon as possible.

Lin Jinyao looked at Su Mo with complicated eyes, "I bought off Xiao Zhai's servant, and she told me that Xiao Nanye is most likely the child of Ling An'an and Xiao Mubai."

"This is impossible!"

Su Mo stood up suddenly, startled the people who were sitting on the sofa looking at their phones, and turned to look at them suspiciously.

Lin Jinyao wanted to say more, but Su Mo had already raised his hand to stop him, "You don't need to say anything, I won't believe a single word of what you said just now!"

For a person like Ling Anan, how could she betray her husband, have sex with her uncle, and even give birth to a child? Su Mo didn't even dare to imagine that scene.

She shook her head to get rid of any doubts in her mind, and then told herself that this matter was not true, if it was true, Xiao Nanye would not have kept it from her.

But as the saying goes, nothing comes from nothing, if it is really a non-existent thing, why would the servants of the Xiao family say that?

The relationship between Xiao Nanye and Fourth Uncle is not very good, he even directly showed his dislike for Fourth Uncle, why is that?

Is there any hidden secret in this?
Could it be that someone is framing fourth uncle and mother-in-law?

One question after another lingered in her mind, which made Su Mo very worried. She suddenly remembered many details about the Xiao family, and then vaguely felt that this matter might be true.

But the parties are gone, who can tell if it's true or not?
"I'm leaving first, and Xiao Che will trouble you to send him back." Su Mo's mind was in a mess now, she went to pay the bill, handed Qin Suche to Lin Jinyao, and drove to Yuyuan by herself.

Zhou Mianhong has been in Xiao's house for some years, maybe I can get some news from her?
Back home, Su Mo handed Zhou Mianhong to the small living room and asked about it directly.

But this matter is a big taboo in the Xiao family, and no one can mention him. Before, a servant was kicked out by the master because he said too much.

Zhou Mianhong stayed in Xiao's house for many years, she didn't want to be kicked out because of this, so even if the young mistress asked, she insisted that she didn't know.

Lying on the bed after taking a shower, Su Mo was too upset to fall asleep.

It's not good for her to ask Xiao Nanye directly about this kind of thing, and she can't ask Xiao Mubai, let alone go to her grandfather's place. It would be too abrupt to ask Xiao Yufeng.

However, why doesn't Fourth Uncle want her to be with Xiao Nanye?Grandpa agreed!
And she always thought that fourth uncle was a nice person. When she was at Xiao's house, she didn't see any signs of it. Could it be that Lin Jinyao made a mistake?

However, even if fourth uncle really wants to drive her away, there must be a reason!
She asked herself that although she was usually a little stupid, under the careful teaching of Young Master Xiao, she was already slowly changing.

There was no one to ask, and she couldn't find the answer. Su Xiaomo lost sleep completely with all the questions in her head.

Half asleep and half awake, he heard Lin Jinyao's voice saying that he was leaving, but he was still a little worried because Xiao Mubai was going to harm her.

Then the dream changed, and she saw Fourth Uncle, with a cold expression on his face and a sarcastic arc on his mouth, he said with a half-smile, "How long do you plan to have the dream of the eldest young mistress?"

Then, she saw Xiao Nanye and Ling Anan, they looked at her like Xiao Mubai, with a cold smile.

It was laughing at her overreach.

Su Mo was woken up by the dream, her dark eyes stared at the void, after adapting to the darkness for a while, she sat up slowly, turned on the bedside lamp and took the photo frame on the bedside table.

The photo was taken on the lawn downstairs, Xiao Da Shao was very unhappy when his begging/huan was rejected that day, and he still had a straight face when taking the photo.

Swiping his finger across that stern face, Su Mo suddenly felt that he missed him very much, even though they just talked on the phone at noon yesterday.

Su Mo checked the time. Three days in the morning, she knew that Xiao Nanye had been busy all day and shouldn't bother him, but she still couldn't help calling him, she wanted to hear his voice.

Not long after the phone rang, it was connected. Hearing the drunken voice, Su Mo's nose sore, "Xiao Nanye, when will you come back? I miss you so much!"

Xiao Nanye was busy until the early hours of the morning before returning to the hotel. In fact, he had not slept for long. When the phone rang, he was still thinking that the other party had better have something important to do.

The little white rabbit called in the middle of the night and said he missed him. Is this an important thing?

"Momo?"

Xiao Nanye woke up suddenly, opened his eyes to check the time, this woman is still not sleeping at this late hour?

He sat up holding the phone, but there was no sound on the other end of the phone, Xiao Nanye frowned, "Su Mo, talk!"

Hearing his fierce tone, the loneliness in Su Mo's heart was dispelled. Afraid that he would hear her crying, she held the microphone and sucked her nose, and then called his name.

Xiao Nanye remembered that she had been busy this afternoon and forgot to call her at night. This woman must have called her in the middle of the night because of this reason!
Thinking that he hadn't seen her for several days, Xiao Nanye also missed her very much and wanted to talk to her, but considering that she had to go to work tomorrow.

Xiao Nanye rubbed the center of her brows and said: "Momo, I'll be back in a few days. I'll talk about anything when I go back. Now go to sleep obediently."

"No." Su Mo hurriedly said to the phone: "Xiao Nanye, don't hang up, I want to talk to you."

She knew that she should be more sensible, but she just wanted to hear his voice. She was frightened by the strange dream just now.

Su Mo's reaction was very strange, Xiao Nanye had to wonder if something happened during the day?

"Where did you go today? Who did you meet?" He hit the nail on the head like this, but Su Mo was a little surprised.

She told about what happened when she went to see Qin Suche and Lin Jinyao today, including the argument she had with her younger brother, and what she heard about Xiao Mubai's objection to their being together, "Xiao Nanye, fourth uncle really doesn't want us to be together Why doesn't he like me?"
