Chapter 944: What Are You Coveting From This?

Cen Mo’s adoptive mother and adoptive father had an agreement… that Cen Mo’s adoptive father could lay his hands on all of the foster sons. However, he had to get Cen Mo’s adoptive mother’s agreement! You’ve seen Cen Mo’s appearance. After his adoptive father saw him at the dining room table on that occasion, he harbored ideas about him…


Song Yao held her breath… afraid to hear what was going to happen next!
She was afraid that things would be as bad as she had imagined them to be!

When Cen Mo was brought to the dining room table that day, his adoptive father knew that his adoptive mother had already given her consent. He didn’t even know that he should hide his gaze when he was looking at Cen Mo in front of my uncle and me!

At that instant, Song Yao was in so much pain that the blood flow throughout her entire body had come to a stop, freezing into ice and piercing her to the extent that she was bleeding profusely.

I saw the gaze that Cen Mo’s adoptive father was looking at him with, so I requested that Cen Mo accompany me to the bathroom. On the way there… I told Cen Mo that I wanted to come to an agreement with him. If Cen Mo helped me kill my uncle, I’d be able to save him from that abyss!

Cen Mo was a little moved in the beginning, but he didn’t agree right away. It wasn’t until he was cleaned up, drugged, dressed in skimpy clothes, and sent to his adoptive father’s bedroom that he was struck with the realization of what was happening. He endured the drug’s effects and crossed over the balcony to look for me before his adoptive father entered the bedroom. He agreed to my request! Therefore, that night… I said that I had fallen in love with Cen Mo at first sight and that I wanted to get engaged to him. Can you imagine the looks that Cen Mo’s adoptive father and mother had on their faces then?

Zhong Moli looked like a young lady who had succeeded in her prank, covering her mouth and smiling happily.
Song Yao’s suspended heart slowly felt at ease. She asked,
But you… Why did you want Cen Mo to help you kill your uncle?


Zhong Moli’s gaze slowly sank. Grief and hatred were evident in her eyes.
My uncle and Cen Mo’s adoptive father shared the same interest. There was a boy that I liked for many years. When he came to my place as a guest for the first time, he died in my uncle’s bed… Why do you think I wanted my uncle dead?

Zhong Moli’s uncle was protected by the family. When a boy from a commoner’s family died in Zhong Moli’s family mansion, there were people to help Zhong Moli’s uncle settle the matter, even without Zhong Moli’s family stepping forth.
With how big the world was, there were many cases of a person disappearing without a trace, unable to be found even after several hundred years.
Therefore, from that day onward, the boy that Zhong Moli liked became a missing person. Even now, his family was unable to find him or his corpse.
Song Yao’s throat rolled, and the voice she made sounded hoarse and horrible.
But I don’t understand. Cen Mo’s adoptive mother… what kind of great feud did she have with Cen Mo to treat him like that? Was it just because she was a psychopath? Then were Cen Mo’s other adopted brothers treated in the same way as well? Why didn’t they retaliate?


Cen Mo’s adopted brothers… had probably all been tamed. Moreover, the Cen family was rich and influential. Money can shake a person’s heart. Who wouldn’t want money? They were probably all fighting to win the favor of Cen Mo’s adoptive father, wanting to become the successor to the Cen family!
Zhong Moli’s lips curled up into a hint of a cold smile.
After all… the few of them weren’t Cen Mo!


As for Cen Mo’s adoptive mother… I checked up on her before…
Zhong Moli unlocked her phone, tapped open a photo, and passed her phone to Song Yao.
She was the university classmate of Cen Mo’s birth father, Mr. Lu. However, Mr. Lu married the Liang family’s daughter, who was Cen Mo’s birth mother! According to what I know… back when Cen Mo’s adoptive mother adopted him, she already knew of his true identity!

True identity… Lu Wenxuan?
Song Yao went into a daze when she saw the graduation photo of Cen Mo’s birth father. Zhong Moli’s long, slender, and beautiful finger pointed out Cen Mo’s birth father and his adoptive mother.
It was because she couldn’t get the man she loved that she did such despicable and vile things to the man’s child?

Song Yao opened her mouth, but she eventually pursed it, unable to make a single sound.

I spoke with Cen Mo’s psychologist before. He told me that… due to the matter with Lucky, Cen Mo unconsciously doesn’t allow the people he cares about to leave an area within his control. Other than a strong desire to control, he’s more afraid that the same thing that happened to Lucky will be repeated on someone he cares about! He’s actually a very lonely person…

Zhong Moli took out a name card from her bag and placed it on Song Yao’s white sheets.
This is Cen Mo’s psychologist. He’s also my friend. I’ve spoken to him previously. You can give him a call and ask about Cen Mo’s condition. If possible… I hope that you can cooperate with him for Cen Mo’s treatment. After all… you’re the person that Cen Mo cares about the most in this world!

Song Yao threw a glance at the name card. Her throat felt swollen and painful.
But the reason that you… are telling me so much, is it only because you want me to cooperate with the psychologist for Cen Mo’s treatment? What are you coveting from this? Do you love Cen Mo?

Zhong Moli shook her head.
I treat Cen Mo as the only friend I can trust in this world, but definitely not as a lover! To be honest… Cen Mo and I won’t even contact each other more than four times in a year! The reason I play the role of Cen Mo’s fiancée who is passionately in love with him is that the more I act as if I’m passionately in love with Cen Mo… the more those people who want to lay their hands on him will be wary against my father’s power and not do anything to Cen Mo!

Zhong Moli was her father’s only daughter and was treated with great love. She lived a life that was better than that of a princess.
However, after Zhong Moli lost the boy that she loved the most in the world, she lost all confidence in the world, having seen how dirty and deplorable it was.
But when Zhong Moli found out that Cen Mo had really fallen in love with the girl called Song Yao, she seemed to have seen a hint of hope in the world. She hoped to see a good ending between Song Yao and Cen Mo, allowing her to really see that there were still beautiful and precious things in the world!

I might never be able to meet someone else I love in this lifetime, so I hope that things end well for Cen Mo. I hope that he can love and be happy in my place! I’m also willing to do whatever I can to help my friend protect his happiness. This is the reason I’ve come to look for you today… and have said so much to you!


I’m sorry. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t understand Cen Mo well enough. But based on my understanding of Cen Mo, would he tell you of his past?
Song Yao was still feeling doubtful.

It wasn’t that Song Yao was too wary. It was just that… toward someone she had never met before and didn’t understand, Song Yao didn’t dare to believe in her.
Even Cai Jingyao, who was Song Yao’s hostel roommate for many years, had lied to her and betrayed her!
Now, a lady had suddenly appeared, claiming to be Cen Mo’s fiancée. She told a whole load of stories about Cen Mo’s past, and Song Yao had no idea if they were true. Song Yao wasn’t very clever. She was afraid that if she were to believe in this lady’s words easily, there might be a big trap waiting for her.
