Forbidden Game: Ruthless CEO, Please Set Me Free-Chapter 754 - 764 Dead Heart (12)

From beginning to end, he seemed not to have asked a single question.

She doesn’t know what kind of person in this world can lose a child in less than ten days, then turn around and get engaged to another woman.

Yet somehow, he is exactly that kind of person.

Qiao Mo kept staring out the window with eyes that felt somewhat sore.

She wouldn’t feel it’s unworthy for herself, she’d only feel sad for the child.

She couldn’t help but turn on the TV again, watching the harmonious atmosphere of the engagement banquet, but she just stared blankly, as if everything had nothing to do with her, her gaze eerily hollow.

When Jiang Jinghao came in, he saw her sitting there staring off into space.

He frowned and turned off the TV.

Qiao Mo gave him a faint smile and said softly, "He’s going to marry someone else... so soon."

...

That afternoon, Xu Wan carefully prepared quite a bit of food to visit Qiao Mo.

A group of several people sat together to eat, the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Xu Wan kept putting food on Qiao Mo’s plate: "Xiao Mo, you need to eat more, look at you now, you’ve become just a bag of bones."

Qiao Mo tugged at her lips: "It’s not that extreme, not long ago I was pregnant, this should actually be the time I’m gaining weight."

Qiao Mo spoke casually, but everyone listening felt a pang of sadness in their hearts.

No one made a sound, and Qiao Mo seemed not to mind, as though she had completely emerged from the pain of losing her child.

She thought, if someone asked her if she was very sad now.

She would definitely say no, because when your heart aches continuously, you become numb, and when it’s riddled with wounds, maybe you no longer understand the feeling of pain.

A phone rang, Xu Wan glanced at the number and said with some apology, "I need to take this call."

"Mrs. Li, we have found a girl whose age and birth date match your daughter’s, and she also has a flower-shaped birthmark beneath her shoulder. I’ll send you the photo and the birthmark shortly. You can take a look first, then we’ll arrange DNA testing."

"Okay." Xu Wan replied calmly.

Over the years, she has experienced many cycles of hope and disappointment, yet still, a bright light burst forth in her eyes.

After hanging up, Xu Wan immediately checked the photo sent by the other party.

Then, they clearly saw the light in her eyes gradually dimming. She gently placed the phone aside, inexplicably stirring people’s empathy.

"Aunt Xu, are you okay?" Xie Qinghuan asked warmly.

Xu Wan shook her head: "It’s nothing, someone found someone very similar to my daughter. She also has a birthmark, shaped very similar to my daughter’s, but after I looked closely, there are still some differences."

"After so many years, would the birthmark have changed?"

Xu Wan shook her head: "I’ve asked around, unless the birthmark was deliberately removed, innate birthmarks generally don’t change shape, at most they might shrink a bit."

"And this girl doesn’t look too much like me or my husband, take a look at the photo." Xu Wan passed her phone to Xie Qinghuan beside her.

"She really doesn’t look much like her, Xiao Mo looks more like you." Xie Qinghuan nodded.

"After all, Xiao Mo and I are blood-related, so there’ll be a resemblance."

Xie Qinghuan was slightly taken aback: "Xiao Mo? You haven’t told Aunt Xu yet?"

Xu Wan was also a little stunned: "Told me what?"

"That Yang Peiyun isn’t Xiao Mo’s mother at all. I heard someone mention it earlier, so I took samples of Xiao Mo and her hair for DNA testing, and they turned out to have no blood relationship at all!"
