?Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Little Ghost, Come Over   Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Little Ghost, Come Over                                   Finally, Qiao Ruoxin’s footsteps halted in front of a bedroom door.


    Because from inside came the sound of a woman’s crying, very… ambiguous… very pitiful…


    She froze, tears instantly spilling over, what did this mean?


    Qiao Ruoxin began to frantically knock on the door, even kicking it, “Open the door! It’s me, Mo Chen! If you dare touch another woman, then never touch me again for the rest of your life! Open this door for me!”


    But no matter how much she knocked or kicked the door, there was no response from inside, just the intermittent sobs of the woman.


    Like a fruit knife piercing into her heart, then being pulled out, and stabbed in again, over and over!


    Qiao’s mother looked at her and sighed, “Face the reality, this is men, there’s nothing like ‘only you’ for them, as long as the woman is pretty, he will like her.”


    Qiao’s mother wanted to step forward to wipe her tears but was pushed away by Qiao Ruoxin, “Don’t touch me! You make me feel sick now!”


    She turned around coldly and walked downstairs.


    Meanwhile—


    There was no sign of Mo Chen in the bedroom; instead, a woman was bound by the bed sheets, unable to move.


    The woman kept crying because her body was covered with deep and shallow footprints, obviously having been beaten.


    And the bathroom door was tightly shut, with the sound of running watering from within.


    …


    Downstairs, the living room.


    Qiao Ruoxin directly flipped over the exquisitely designed little coffee table, fury in her voice, “Jiang Pen, from today on you are no longer my mother!”


    “For the sake of a man, you don’t want a mother anymore?”


    “Sometimes I really doubt whether I’m your own child. Mo Chen! The favored son of heaven! He’s also been pampered from childhood like a Crown Prince, what right do you have to harm him like this? The Mo Family’sdy, even if she doesn’t like me, wouldn’t resort to these dirty tricks, and you! You actually drugged Mo Chen! You make me feel ashamed!”


    Qiao Ruoxin simply couldn’t understand her mother’s logic, why did she have to be so extreme?


    Her mother was enraged by her words, “That’s because Mo Family has a son and I have a daughter! The atrocious things Mo Chen has done are all spoiled by the Mo Family!”


    Her tears kept flowing, like a faucet that had been forgotten to be turned off.


    “All I see is that you’ve be heartless and mad. I thought at most you would nag at Mo Chen, I underestimated you; marrying into the Lawrence Family, you’ve also learned those despicable methods.”


    Qiao Ruoxin suddenly sneered, copsing onto the sofa, feeling utterly disheartened.


    Why had she been given such a mother?


    Why!


    “Qiao Ruoxin! Don’t go too far! I am your mother! How dare you call me despicable? If you weren’t my daughter, I wouldn’t bother with you!”


    “I really wish I weren’t your daughter.” Her eyes brimming with tears, she looked at her mother with a resentful gaze.


    Her mother, so angry her face changed color, couldn’t catch her breath, “Do you really think you’re Mo Chen’s first love? That’s all a lie to you! You idiot! Who is he? Born into a wealthy family, surrounded by beautiful women, he started ying with women in his teens! He even yed a girl to death! It’s just that the Mo Family used their power to suppress it! Do you have any idea how vicious the rich second-generation y in their circles? What makes you think Mo Chen is an exception?”


    Qiao Ruoxin, watching her mother’s furious outburst, suddenly felt very disappointed.


    A disappointment that couldn’t be mended anymore.


    “Where’s the evidence? What proof do you have?”


    “What kind of evidence would there be for something like this? The Mo Family would have destroyed it long ago!”


    “Then stop making things up out of nowhere! You’re spreading rumors!” Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t contain her anger any longer, shouting back.


    Her mother suddenly let out a coldugh, “Am I making things up now? Wasn’t he unable to live without you? Why doesn’t hee out now? No matter how loudly you call, he refuses toe out?”


    “That’s because you drugged him! Despicable, shameless, and vulgar!”


    Qiao Ruoxin picked up a nearby pillow and threw it to the ground, her breathing bing rapid as she clutched her robe tightly with both hands.


    Just the thought of Mo Chen upstairs with another woman…


    She suddenly felt like vomiting!


    The next second, Qiao Ruoxin stood up and headed straight for the upstairs, the pretty eyes now filled with hatred.


    Qiao’s mother grabbed her at once, “Men can’t be disturbed at such times; he won’t pay attention to you. The fact proves that your love is nothing after all.”


    “You!”


    Just as Qiao Ruoxin was about to retort, footsteps came from the stairs.


    She turned to look immediately, her gaze dimming a bit—it was Simon, looking like he had just taken a bath.


    When Simon came downstairs and saw the messy living room, hemented, “Mo Chen hasn’t finished yet? Seems like he’s very satisfied with this woman. I’ve already taken a bath, and he still hasn’te out.”


    Qiao Ruoxin shrugged off her mother and pped Simon hard across the face.


    With a ‘smack’, the sound of the p was so clear in the quiet vi.


    “Was it your idea to do this? You’re truly revolting!” Qiao Ruoxin’s fury was unleashed upon Simon.


    But Simon still wore a tender smile, touching his face, “Will you p Mo Chen like that when hees out?”


    Qiao’s mother grew angry, “What are you doing? I arranged this all by myself, it has nothing to do with Simon!”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes, wet with tears, were brimming with despair. She looked up at the empty stairs, wondering why he hadn’te out yet…


    Unable to hold back, tears started falling, sliding down to her chin, and dropping onto the floor.


    “I’m telling you, I won’t me him!”


    She tried to suppress the nauseating feeling in her heart, but tears once again escaped, coursing wildly across her cheeks.


    Yet Qiao’s mother chuckled coldly, “Xinxin, you’re my daughter; no one knows what’s in your heart better than I do. Your tears have betrayed you; you will me him.”


    “…”


    She had nothing to say, with just the thought of Mo Chen still upstairs… she couldn’t help but break down uncontrobly.


    Suddenly!


    Heavy footsteps sounded from upstairs.


    Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look—it was Mo Chen.


    The man was still in the suit he had arrived in, though his tie was loosened, hanging under the cor, shirt buttons undone, and the suit jacket slightly wrinkled.


    He looked freshly bathed, his short hair damp, with a few strands hanging over his forehead, exuding an indescribable sexiness.


    Qiao Ruoxin’s heart skipped a beat.


    This was… a bath?


    Why take a bath? Because of the sweat from strenuous activity?


    Mo Chen would always take her to shower with him after their intimate moments.


    Thinking of this, Qiao Ruoxin’splexion turned deathly pale, and she couldn’t help but step back.


    Mo Chen’s handsome face was tight, his long straight legs took him down the stairs step by step, his dark eyes directly meeting Qiao Ruoxin’s, “Little Ghost,e here.”


    She hesitated a few seconds but before she could react, was forcibly pulled into his embrace, unable to move.
