Astonishment was evident in Tan Mu’s face, and he looked at Mo Xiuchen curiously. He frowned and asked, “Xiuchen, you mean that Cheng Jia might have been sent by Xiao Wenqing? She knows you’ve been looking for the little girl all these years, so she arranged for Cheng Jia to pretend to be that girl? Have you found out something?”
Mo Xiuchen had a stoic expression, and his eyes appeared cold. The coldness that he was exuding couldn’t be compared to the cold felt this season. This was the real him. “That’s just my intuition,” Mo Xiuchen clarified. “For the time being, no flaws have been found yet, but Cheng Jia’s father bought a lottery ticket a year ago and won. Then the entire family moved from H City to G City. Perhaps the problem lies there.”
They were interrupted by a ding. The elevator reached the designated floor, and the doors slowly opened.
They stepped out of the elevator, and Mo Xiuchen told Tan Mu to go to work first. He went to the chairman’s office to see what his father and Xiao Wenqing wanted to do with Cheng Jia.

In the chairman’s office, Mo Jingteng and Xiao Wenqing were sitting on the couch. A little nervous and timid, Cheng Jia stood in front of them with a sheepish expression and was fidgeting. She was nervous at being called in such a meeting. Her thoughts ran wild, thinking that she might have done something wrong.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cheng Jia turned and saw Mo Xiuchen entering. Her eyes lit up, then grievance flashed across her face, but it soon disappeared. She softly greeted him, “Young Master Mo,” and smiled.
Mo Xiuchen nodded. His mood turned sullen as he walked into the office.
Mo Jingteng and Xiao Wenqing also raised their heads. Seeing him walking by, Mo Jingteng spoke calmly,”Xiuchen, you came right on time. Your aunt and I wanted to ask Cheng Jia about the situation back then, but she doesn’t remember anything.”
Looking at Mo Xiuchen lovingly, Xiao Wenqing smiled. She wasn’t bothered by his indifferent demeanor. She gently followed through, “Xiuchen, is Cheng Jia really the girl who saved you back then?”
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Cheng Jia with cold eyes. Seeing her biting her lip and seemed to be nervous, he furrowed his eyebrows. Ignoring Mo Jingteng and Xiao Wenqing’s words, he said to her, “You go back to work first.”
Cheng Jia nodded, then looked at Mo Jingteng and Xiao Wenqing. She seemed to have mustered the courage to say, “Chairman, Madam Chairman, I really don’t remember what happened when I was young. If you are suspicious of me, or of my motives, working at Nanqin Hotel to get close to Young Master Mo, I will resign immediately.”
Mo Xiuchen side-eyed Cheng Jia, then he countered, “You don’t need to resign. Go back and hand over your work, then directly come to work at the headquarters tomorrow.”
“Xiu Chen, are you really sure she’s the girl who saved you?” Mo Jingteng asked.
Mo Jingteng’s facial expression was a bit unsightly. When Xiao Wenqing saw this, she immediately consoled him, “Jingteng, since Cheng Jia said that Xiuchen found her, Xiuchen should be certain. Don’t trouble the girl anymore.”
She stood up, took two steps forward, then took Cheng Jia’s hand. “Miss Cheng, I apologize if we were a bit blunt. Don’t take it to heart. We aren’t trying to trouble you. We just wanted to make things clear.”
Cheng Jia shook her head, withdrew her hand, and replied, “It’s natural for you and the chairman to be suspicious. I had a disease when I was six years old and forgot about everything. I really can’t answer the question just now.”
Xiao Wenqing nodded, met Mo Xiuchen’s gaze, and suggested, “Xiuchen, since it’s been determined that Miss Cheng is the girl who rescued you, then invite Miss Cheng to have a meal at home this weekend. Jingteng, does that work?”
Mo Jingteng had always unquestionably obeyed Xiao Wenqing, so he immediately agreed. “Okay. It happens to be your birthday on the weekend. Let Miss Cheng come to the house for a meal,” he said. “Let’s invite Wen Ran as well. You two have been married for so many days, but haven’t visited even once.”
