phone screen, "It's nothing, how did you come back""I can't come back" Lu Hanchuan frowned."No, that's not what I meant. I just said, how did you come back so quickly Are you finished with your work"...Fu Xiaoyao's emotions were unstable, "I don't know..."

She really didn't know what to do!

She is now very conflicted. Her own appearance has made her so self-conscious that she doesn't dare to see her husband, let alone let him know she's still alive. This has led to her current situation of being "disappeared" from official records.

Looking at Fu Xiaoyao like this, Shi Mo was also helpless, "I know your biggest knot is your injury. If your injury healed, would you reappear before Mr. Lu"

He asked.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "Of course, he's the father of my child. My injuries are healed, so I naturally want to return to his side, and I also want revenge!"

"If that's the case, let's go abroad together. The chances of healing will be much higher. If you don't leave and stay in China, you'll never dare to appear before Mr. Lu again." Shi Mo looked at her seriously.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes were still bandaged, but she could feel his gaze and acknowledge his words.

In her marriage with Lu Hanchuan, because of family background and her own abilities, she had always felt inferior. However, she hid it very well and rarely showed it.

Now, with this injury, her insecurities were completely released.

She was never exceptional to begin with. Without a prestigious family background or exceptional abilities, she now even lost her only advantage—her looks. It can be said that she has nothing left and is nothing at all. Even if Lu Hanchuan didn't mind, she would find herself unbearable.

And most importantly, a top family like the Lu family wouldn't need a disfigured mistress. In fact, having such a mistress would lead to ridicule from their circle and become gossip among ordinary people. She didn't want that; she didn't want to be someone who was pointed at and discussed without dignity.

So she must cure her face and return to Lu Hanzhen with the best demeanor!

Thinking this, Fu Xiaoyao was no longer confused, her heart only had determination.

She took a deep breath and replied slowly, "Okay, I'll get you out of the country!"

Shi Mo was a little surprised, "Are you sure"

"Yes, you're right, the only way to cure my face is abroad! Then I must seize this opportunity!" Fu Xiaoyao nodded without hesitation.

Shi Mo smiled, "Alright, since you're willing, then I'll take you. However, this trip out will definitely take a long time to return. Are you okay with that"

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip, "It's okay."

The moment she decided to go abroad, she had mentally prepared herself for a long absence from home.

"Alright, then let's set off tomorrow." Shi Mo gave her a time.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, then hesitated.

"Do you have anything else to say" Shi Mo saw through her thoughts and asked proactively.

Fu Xiaoyao took a breath, “I want to see Hanchuan before I go abroad.”

"What" Shi Mo was stunned. "You want to see him"

"Well, but I want to secretly see him, best if he doesn't know." Fu Xiaoyao said, then cautiously asked, "Can I"

"Okay, I'll arrange it," Shi Mo thought.

"Thank you." Fu Xiaoyao tugged at the corner of her mouth, squeezing out a faint smile.

...Her whole face was almost covered by bandages, so you couldn't see her smile.

Shi Mo suddenly fell silent, as if there was some hesitation.

Fu Xiaoyao noticed and asked, "What's wrong with you"

"Xiao Yao," Shi Mo called her name.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved. "I'm here."

"Grandma has been mentioning you a lot these past two days and wanted to video call you, but I turned her down both times." Shi Mo said.

Fu Xiaoyao realized something in her heart, but she wasn't sure. "And then"

"Grandma misses YaoYao very much." Shi Mo said again.

Fu Xiaoyao understood that the "Yaoyao" he spoke of wasn't her, but his younger sister, Shi Yaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao held her breath, "What do you want me to do"

"It's very simple, I saved you and took you abroad out of my own free will. I didn't expect anything in return, but I still hope you can do me a favor." Shi Mo looked at her earnestly.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled again, “It’s only right, you saved me twice and helped me countless times. Now you're even taking me abroad for treatment. All of this added up, I wouldn't be able to repay you in this lifetime. Not to mention one favor, I'd do countless favors if it meant repaying your kindness. Tell me, are you wanting me to continue pretending to be Shi Yao and cheer up grandma”

She guessed it so quickly, Shi Mo praised with a smile, "That's right, it is this favor, but not temporary, but for a lifetime. I want you to become the real Shi Yao!"

"What" Fu Xiaoyao's lip curve froze, she was truly taken aback this time, "You want me to be the real Shi Yao"

"Yes! My grandmother has many grandchildren, but she loved Yaoyao the most because Yaoyao looked just like her when she was young. But ever since Yaoyao passed away, my grandmother started getting confused, and now her time is running out. There are only a few years left. I want Yaoyao to be with my grandmother for the rest of her days." Shi Mo explained.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little flustered, "I understand what you mean, and I'm willing to accompany Grandmother then, but a lifetime is too outrageous, isn't it Can't it just be for a few years I can accompany her until she passes away."

Shi Mo shook his head. "Besides my grandmother's reason, I need you to be YaoYao because my mother misses her too. Although she doesn't say it out loud and doesn't show it normally, many times when the night is deep and quiet, she always holds YaoYao's photo and cries."

"This..." Fu Xiaoyao was still a little restless, "Grandmother could accept me because she didn't know that Shiyao was gone. But your mother knows, how could she accept another woman, taking the place of her own daughter"

"Don't worry, my mother will accept you. In fact, after Yao Yao passed away, my father planned to adopt a daughter to comfort my mother. But my mother always said that those girls didn't look like Yao Yao, so she never adopted one. Last time, I showed your picture to my mother." Speaking of this, Shi Mo's eyes softened.

Fu Xiaoyao listened to him stop the conversation there, her heart itching with anticipation, "What then"

"My mother cried. She said Yaoyao has grown up and this is what you should look like now. She also wants to see you, but I refused her saying that you're busy. So do you have any more hesitations now" Shi Mo asked her.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, remaining silent. Her heart fluttered with a newfound sense of ease.

When Mo saw this scene, he fanned the flames. "You're all alone now. As long as you become Yao Yao, the Shi family will be your backing. You'll be the Shi family's eldest daughter. You'll have a loving grandmother, doting parents, and me, your protective brother."

Parents, older brother......

Hearing these words representing family, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes instantly welled up, and her heart was deeply moved.

From a young age, she yearned for her parents' affection and longed to have protective older brothers.

But there was none. After her brother changed, she learned to protect herself, learning to lick her wounds alone.

After learning that she wasn't the Fu family's daughter, she yearned to find her biological parents. She wondered if they would like her and give her the true love of a father. Ironically, her mother had passed away, and her father didn't want anything to do with her.

Now, hearing this man say that she could become part of his family, that he could be her brother, and even include her parents in the fold, this act of acceptance deeply touched her.

"Can I really have these" Fu Xiaoyao asked in a choked voice, trembling.t even think about using any extreme measures to threaten me into releasing Qi Dongming. If you dare to do that, I dare to make Qi Dongming pay an even worse price.”"No......Hanchuan you can't...""I c...
