Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-BoyfriendCh149.2 - Found A Good Friend

translator: xiin

“Then, what happened with Congcong’s legs?” noRHuL

Madame Xiao only opened her mouth to speak again about ten seconds later. She looked at Xiao Yuanmu’s calm expression and seemed to want to find an answer from his emotionless eyes.

Xiao Yuanmu’s gaze was heavy. He thought back to the scene from his previous life and said faintly, “When I arrived at the factory, the people who kidnapped Xiao Baicong weren’t the only ones there. There was another group of people. They started fighting, and Xiao Baicong was tied to one side, with very few people paying attention to him.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

”I snuck in to save Xiao Baicong, wanting to take him away, but was discovered on the way out. However, because there were two groups of people inside, the people who’d kidnapped him couldn’t spare anyone to chase us and we were able to run out.”

Xiao Baicong said that he knew of a path where it would be more difficult for the people chasing us to catch us, so I followed him. Unexpectedly, there was an ambush set up there, and that was when I was caught and my leg injured.” gjU7mH

Song Xuanhe raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yuanmu. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if what he was saying was true or false. Even so, there was an extremely uncomfortable emotion at the bottom of his heart, and this discomfort wasn’t for himself, but for Xiao Yuanmu, who was beside him. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to hold Xiao Yuanmu’s, twining their fingers together.

Xiao Yuanmu looked down at Song Xuanhe and their clasped hands. The shadows at the bottom of his eyes dispersed, showing a bit of warmth. It was just that when he lifted his eyes again, the warmth turned back into nothingness once more, leaving only a cold calm.

“Those people were Xiao Baicong’s people.” Xiao Yuanmu looked at Madame Xiao, his voice clear and carrying no trace of personal emotion, “The kidnapping had been planned out by Xiao Baicong himself.”

Madame Xiao was stunned for two seconds, and then she denied, “Impossible!”

mxnN8M

Xiao Yuanmu didn’t say anything else. He just looked at her quietly, making the words that surged up from her throat to argue for Xiao Baicong come to a stop at the edge of her mouth. She could only swallow them back down bit by bit, then say in a low whisper, “Congcong has been a kind and considerate child since childhood. He would never do this. There must be some misunderstanding here. Yuanmu, you should know that you’re already in charge of the Xiao Family. He doesn’t need to do this.”

“He does.”

There was a chill in Xiao Family’s clear voice, “You should also know clearly that it’s because I took over the Xiao Family that he has even more reason to do this.”

Madame Xiao’s mouth opened, then closed. She’d been rendered speechless. Kt5Vwd

Xiao Yuanmu glanced at her, then looked away and continued, “However, he didn’t expect that his people weren’t as loyal to him as he thought. Other people had mixed in with his own, and the leader of those people was one of Xiao Baicong’s subordinates’ enemy. That person was the one who sent the two of us there.”

“Xiao Baicong said that I’m now the current head of the Xiao Family. They could obtain more benefits in exchange for me. As long as they let him go, he wouldn’t say anything.”

Madame Xiao’s expression trembled as Xiao Yuanmu continued, “It was just that the man seemed to have some history with him, so they broke his legs, and then let us go.”

“Why did he let you gou?” Madame Xiao asked. OJSs L

“He’s not worried about this point.” Xiao Yuanmu looked at Madame Xiao and said, “Mother, he is very clear about who hurt my leg.”

Madame Xiao was stunned and couldn’t say a word. CtvRj7

She understood what Xiao Yuanmu was leaving unspoken.

Xiao Yuanmu’s leg had been hurt by Xiao Baicong’s people, but those people hadn’t offended Xiao Yuanmu, and they’d even saved Xiao Yuanmu’s life. If they had really killed the two successors to the Xiao Family, they would definitely have to flee to the end of the world. However, at this time, they’d let Xiao Yuanmu go because he’d already started taking over the Xiao Family, and instead formed a good relationship with Xiao Yuanmu.

After all, those people knew that Xiao Baicong wouldn’t be able to inherit the Xiao Family no matter what.

“If that’s all you wanted to ask, then I’ve finished saying what I have to say.” T7wdcF

Madame Xiao looked at Xiao Yuanmu’s expression, which had remained indifferent from beginning to end, and heard his command to leave. The shock, panic, and fear she’d experienced over the past day suddenly surged back up again, making her feel both tired and very sad at the same time.

Why was Xiao Yuanmu so indifferent to her?

From the moment she’d found him again until just now, she’d done everything she could to make things up to him and shorten the distance between them. They’d even given the Xiao Family back to him already, but he was still as indifferent towards her as he was to a stranger. She’d tried to take countless steps towards him, but he was never willing to take a single step forward.

In this kind of situation, what was wrong with her favoring her younger son, whom she’d watched grow up from nothing but a tiny little bundle? In terms of time and emotion, her and her younger son were already closer to each other. GVc0FE

This was just human nature.

Now, her younger son, who she’d always held in the palm of her hand, was ruined for life. He could no longer walk on his legs like normal people, and he had no way to show off the athletic ability he’d always been so proud of anymore. He may never recover from this low point in his life, and when she thought about this possibility, thought of her bright and cheerful younger son becoming gloomy and depressed in the future, she was so distressed that she couldn’t breathe.

Had she done something wrong?

Even though her attitude had been wrong when she came to ask Xiao Yuanmu about Xiao Baicong, Xiao Baicong was her son. Which mother could calmly think everything over before asking questions when they saw their child in such a state? FjS6qy

All she’d done were things that any ordinary mother would do.

Moreover, if Xiao Yuanmu didn’t come back, then none of this would have happened.

Madame Xiao’s eyes were red. As she looked at Xiao Yuanmu’s indifferent expression, she asked, “Ever since you came back, hve you ever regarded me as your mother, or regarded your father as your father, or your younger brother as your younger brother?”

Xiao Yuanmu’s long and slender eyelashes swept down, covering half of his eyes. After a few seconds, he lifted them up again and looked straight at Madame Xiao. His gaze was like a sharp sword, holding a cold light. Ok3AaQ

He replied, “Yes.”

Madame Xiao shook her head, “I don’t believe it. If you really treat us as a family, then it would be impossible for all of this to have happened. None of this would have happened.”

Song Xuanhe squeezed his fingers around Xiao Yuanmu. The corners of his mouth were pressed down tightly, but he didn’t speak.

Xiao Yuanmu saw a glimpse of his expression out of the corner of his eyes and calmly returned his hold. He said faintly, “I would like to rest now.” Jm7ckn

Madame Xiao got up, looked coldly at the Xiao Yuanmu and Song Xuanhe’s twined fingers, and said, “I’ve wondered many times about whether you simply have no feelings, or just have no feelings for us. I even tried my best to recall what it was like before you left us. I wondered if you would smile, stick to me, and call me mother, and whether you would look forward to your father coming home every day.”

“I couldn’t remember, but I know that it’s not that you have no feelings. It’s only that you have no feelings for me and your father.” Madame Xiao asked Xiao Yuanmu, “Do you hate me and your father for not finding you earlier?”

“No.”

“Sometimes, I really wish…” Madame Xiao stepped back, looked at Xiao Yuanmu’s calm expression, and said hoarsely, “Sometimes I really wish, I think about how good it would be if we hadn’t found you and brought you back.” tQM2IA

Having said that, Madame Xiao turned and left without looking back.

The door to the ward opened and closed, leaving behind a stretch of silence.

Song Xuanhe held Xiao Yuanmu’s hand and raised his gaze to look at his expression.

Xiao Yuanmu’s other hand covered his eyes. He rested his lower jaw against his shoulder, his clear voice a little hoarse, “Don’t look.” 0wgOjZ

Song Xuanhe tightened his fingers again and nodded gently. His other hand wrapped around Xiao Yuanmu’s waist, and he let the other hold him as he liked.

“What I said earlier is all true.” Xiao Yuanmu said.

The hot air from his breath brushed against Song Xuanhe’s neck. He shifted, and whispered, “I know.”

“You don’t know.” 1YjmUf

Xiao Yuanmu chuckled lightly. The sound seemed to hold a mixture of many things, and it also seemed to be simple self-mockery.

“Well, can you tell me?” Song Xuanhe asked.

“When the time is right.” Xiao Yuanmu whispered, “I’ll tell you my biggest secret.”

The arm Song Xuanhe had wrapped around him tightened slightly, and he made a quiet sound of acknowledgement. e8fjiS

“Would you be angry if I never told you about it?” Xiao Yuanmu’s slightly hoarse voice rang out again.

“No.” Song Xuanhe closed his eyes, his eyelashes quivering as he said, “Everyone has secrets that can’t be told to others.”

Xiao Yuanmu looked up and released Song Xuanhe. He focused on him and asked, “You, too?”

“Yes.” Song Xuanhe opened his eyes again and met his dark eyes squarely. The emotion that was hidden deeply in the bottom of his eyes was indecipherable, or maybe there was nothing there at all, “I have secrets, too.” EGqhKm

“Will you tell me when the time is right?”

Song Xuanhe’s pupils quivered, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his lips, “When it’s time, you’ll know.”

Xiao Yuanmu’s index finger landed on the edge of his eyebrow, sliding along the bone to brush across his eyelashes before making its way along his cheekbone to the corner of his mouth. He rubbed gently and whispered, “I’m very curious.”

“More curious than sad?” Song Xuanhe blinked, a smile forming at the corners of his mouth. Zf5KH1

Xiao Yuanmu: “Only curious.”

“Don’t be sad.” Song Xuanhe hugged him, kissing the corner of his lips. He whispered, “But you can show your sadness in front of me.”

Xiao Yuanmu shook his head and looked at him seriously, “I’m not sad.”

He continued, “I won’t be sad as long as you’re here.” lu 54B

  1. “Those people were Xiao Baicong’s people.” Xiao Yuanmu looked at Madame Xiao, his voice clear and carrying no trace of personal emotion, “The kidnapping had been planned out by Xiao Yuanmu himself.”

    I think you wrote it wrong with the last name. It must be Xiao Baichong right?

    And btw, I choose to stab Madam Xiao. Thank you 😌

      • The fact that she had even tried to accuse him without evidence in the first place shows the importance she’d placed in Yuanmu. He’s the stray that she’s picked up with romantic dreams of a happy family, then abandoned after her son kicked it, saying ‘Congcong says you tried to bite him!’ despite no bitemarks being visible.

    • By saying it would have been good if they haven’t found him, why not they reflect on how they found him? They found him when he have make a name for himself without any family help… Did they even ask him if he wants to come back? And the heck with “why was Xiao Xuanmu indifferent to her” people like Xuanmu have problems with expressing, just because he was indifferent, she will put blame on him! What sort of twisted logic is that!?

      • +1 this whole situation just makes me fume

        ‘sometimes.. i wish i hadnt realized that this sucessful figure that we wanted to rope in was actually my long lost son, and then used that to secure the new energy resource for the family..’ girl doesnt know how hilariously ridiculous this sounds?? im crying

    • she’s really asking that and then goes to contradicting herself the next paragraph with the phrases ” but blah blah i help him in the palm of my hands since little blah blah” bullshit now she can stop with justifying everything she says to xym

  2. Just stab the madame…. If you stab SXH mumu would be heartbroken 🥺🥺

    As for SXH, he only need a silent beating to keep his head straight..

    Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️

    • madame xiao keeps on saying that she is doing what an ordinary mother would do but no ordinary mother would blame their other child for a child they favor.

      PLEASE PLEASE STAB THAT MADAME BISH!!!! AAAHHHH can she DIE FASTERRRRRRRRR

      Thank you for the chapter!

  3. Bijjjj go die la 🙂🔫 Mumu I suggest you just give up on this woman. I don’t see any good point in her so far. It’s all about her and she never consider things in Mumu’s perspective. I rest my case. Thanks for the chapter 🤗

  4. From the moment she’d found him again until just now, she’d done everything she could to make things up to him and shorten the distance between them.

    Hahaha I almost laughed out loud. She is so stupid! ML already gave them a chance in their last life, but they ruined it, and they would have definitely ruined it in this life as well if the chance was given. Sincerity is a must. If you really want someone to feel love for you . She is too greedy and unreasonable. She had already made her choice and chose her second son over the first, but she still wants him to be filial to them. Laughable!!!!!!!!!

    Btw this kind of plot is really common in novels.

  5. Lmaaaao i can’t believe this bitch is really offended by Xiao’s indifference towards the family! My guy, you can’t ask someone why they don’t love you when you yourself don’t love them as well! And it’s really rich of her to say she wished they haven’t brought him back to the family when he refused multiple times and they were the ones that forced him to return! Lady, get a grip!

  6. it’s so funny seeing his mom trying to justify herself LOL like..? madam girl… i have some new for you… 🤨

  7. Wow. I bet Mumu wishes you had left him alone too. He didn’t want to go back- he didn’t want to inherit the family- and he definitely didn’t want a relationship with any of you. You all insisted and forced him back. You all raised Baicong into who he is. You reap what you sow-lady.

    Thanks for the chapter <3

  8. Xiin, you stab Song Xuanhe, I’ll take on Madame Xiao. I have a nice, sharp machete that’ll be perfect for stabbing and chopping up something/someone. 👿

  9. I vote to stab madame Xiao. She questioned Mumu, thought that it was better for Mumu to not come back after being the one who brought him back and still have the audacity to call herself his mother. Stab her please.

    Thank you for the chapter!

  10. Really Mrs Xiao is asking why? The question is ” does she act like a genuine mother to Mumu”

    Stab that Mrs Xiao!

    Mumu will be sad if you hurt SXH.

    Thanks for the chapter

  11. It’s the damn shit that Mrs. Xiao pulls that precisely turn Yuanmu away and she deadass is just like why are you so cold to us??? :((((

    Stab her oh my god

  12. All she’d done were things that any ordinary mother would do.

    ‘SCUUUUSE MEEEE???

    I really, really don’t have anymore to say to this madam. I thought she already realizes her stupidity a bit but I overestimated her. Her ego is so stronk, overpowering common mother nature, always feels she’s the right and pity one. Go, go cuddle your royal baby whatsoever. bet he will blast his emotions at you without any grateful feelings, and will blame you for anything. go, go.

  13. It’s a miracle that I didn’t stop reading this beautiful story bc of the shitty mom! 😤😤😤 Aaaaaaaarrvgh I truly hate her. I would like to start a petition to Stab her with the knife.

  14. …. Mom, you disappointed me. *sigh * 😔

    I mean, yeah she is stressed and all, but .. saying those heartless words. She isn’t worthy of forgiveness. 😐

    Thanks for the chapter! 😄

  15. I want to punch and kick Madam Xiao!!!!

    Mumu keep saying he doesn’t want Xuanhe to leave but Xuanhe being all Ambiguous!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

    Anyway thanks for the chapter

  16. this plot of “im absolutely horrible and 2-faced to you but i expect you to be happy around me and trust me (and comepletely disreagrd the countless times ive pointed fingers at you)” is really, really getting old madame

  17. There’s a typo here:

    “Why did he let you gou?” Madame Xiao asked.

    It should be “go”, right? Hehe.

    And here also:

    “Ever since you came back, hve you ever regarded me as your mother…”

    It should be “have” right??

    ANYWAAYY!! I vote for stabbing Madame Xiao!! Akjcsjjc–!!

    Thank you for the chapter uwu~

  18. Wow👏 Proved my point, she’s effin shameless

    She straight up told her son that they would’ve been living life better without him 눈_눈

    What kind of bullsht of a mother is that, she deserves a fkin slap (  ’-‘ )ノ)`-‘ )

  19. Sometimes I really wish, I think about how good it would be if we hadn’t found you and brought you back

    My ‘mentally handicapped detector’ just beeped to the highest sht

    Someone escort madame to the luxurious Mental Hospital that has high security system. It is to ensure the readers wont have to hurt their IQ in trying to think how to take care of that woman because i certainly cant cope with her crap any longer, my EQ is dropping _(´ཀ`」 ∠) _

  20. Wow, I’m speechless. She doesn’t even deserve to be called a honorific, because her actions are really unworthy of respect. You force Mumu to come home when he was already happy by himself, force him to treat Baicong as a brother, and now you get mad at Mumu for not thinking of you, your husband and Baicong as family? Hello? You never thought for his feelings at all, how can he do that? She doesn’t even realize how biased she is towards Baicong! This is ridiculous, I wish Xuanhe had bitch-slapped her. I am fuming.

  21. sarcastic laugh here

    I see, the madame needs some mental recovery so she just do some self-justification, how great she is sarcastic laugh

    At this point, I really really hope that SXH stay in this world (by his own choice or was forced to) puppy eyes

  22. xiin-nim, no escatime esfuerzos, simplemente apuñale a la vieja pedo, pero… Es demaciado desagradable ponerla en nuestro ojos, mejor no miremos la mierda, dañaría nuestro ojos ┐( ˘_˘)┌

    Y… He-er… Dime… Explícame… Qué… Qué es lo que vas a hacer?

    Gracias por actualizar~✨

  23. So is he gonna stay? Somehow i fear he wont and i kinda dislike him for that…

    Saying that he will know his secret one day gives me a bad premonition

  24. No I will not stab her. I don’t want my hands get dirty. I plan to call Sangwoo to torture her. Yes, I’ll call Sangwoo.

  25. p sure xym did think of them as family before they decided to fuck things up in the past life.

    thanks for the chapter~

  26. In my eyes mother Xiao is very disgusting… I don’t even wanna comment about her…

    Unlike most people I see the world from many point of views. We all know about protagonists so I’ll point out the fault in Xiao lil bro and mom.

    Actually Xiao lil bro hating ML is very normal, after all his life he thought he was only one and will inherit and now a big bro pops out who is more outstanding in everything. But he isn’t a cannon fodder killed by plot either cause what he should have done was trying to prove himself in business fair and square (if he was protagonist he should have done this, as protagonists usually do) but stupidity is hereditary (from mom Xiao) and tried to kill.

    Well I hated mom Xiao especially from when I read about XSL’s side of story. She is very very disgusting and most people said the reasons already.

  27. To Madam Xiao:

    If you weren’t gonna be a mother, you shouldn’t have tried in the first place. Acting so self-righteous is ugly.

    To Song Xuanhe:

    You know you are just being unreasonably stubborn. You have nothing your other life, but go back for what? You are the kind of person that will give up happiness just because of your pride; I guess you don’t deserve happiness if you are being that stubborn.

  28. 「Why was Xiao Yuanmu so indifferent to her?」

    You really have the audicity to ask???

    「Ever since you came back, have you ever regarded me as your mother, or regarded your father as your father, or your younger brother as your younger brother?」

    Then, have you ever treated him as your son?

    This is really worst. I dun wanna side since I wanna know each other‘s side. But after reading this chapter, I just wanna go and slap madam Xiao. It is like Xiao Yuanmo has to be grateful to them because they ‘‘handed the company‘‘ and ‘‘recognized Xiao Yanmu as their family‘‘.

    I want to sympathize her since it is really painful to lose a son. But the way how she just goes ‘‘I will forget that my first son existed‘‘

    I feel so sad 😭😭😭😭

  29. His mom is fucking crazy I really tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but at this point just throw the whole person away🤦🏾

  30. Since she says it’s only natural she favours one son over the other, why doesn’t she think it’s only natural he doesn’t love his mother who doesn’t love him? Trash woman.

  31. Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you treat me like your mum? Just because I always pick your brother over you. Just because I accused you of hurting your brother. Just because I waa willing to trade you for him. Just because I haven’t tried very hard to get to know you. How can you think I am anything other than a wonderful mum? Grrr. I wanna slap her so bad!

  32. Stab Madam Xiao!! They are the one that lost Mumu and they are also the one one-sidedly forced him to return to Xiao Family. Moreover it is her own fault she hasn’t been able to see past Baicong’s ambition and fake personality. Bruh.

    And Xuanhe will be handled by his daddy himself.

  33. FCKING WHAT???

    I’m also mad at that so-called mother Xiao (I don’t respect her that’s why I called her like that. She doesn’t deserve it tho, does she???).

    She’s the one who kept on insisting that “motherly” love but she never respects XYM’s space. I believe she’ll force it when she’s given a chance.

    And nope, nope. That’s your so-called mother love? You know that the situation is dangerous but you still let XYM to rescue that younger son of yours alone?? You have thought of all the possibilities for your younger son if he wasn’t rescued on time but have you ever thought about a situation if something bad happened to XYM? You did not!

    She hesitated to send XYM there, but that’s only out of guilt, not out of worry or care. Because, at the end of the day, they only acknowledge that Cong guy as their son.

    You questioned why XYM is so distant or indifferent towards your family? Why you don’t reflect and question yourself first? You often misunderstood him and outcasted him. Family? Lol, you must be joking. Your family only consists of you, your husband, and that Cong guy. You even thought of not bringing back XYM to Xiao’s residence. That only proves that you only think of him as a trophy or your family’s asset that you need to get hold of.

  34. Madame B!tch is singing “woe is me” as if the Xiao family didn’t bust their brains thinking of ways to rope him in. She doesn;t even hear herself, “Like any other mother”???? Other mothers would strive to love their kids equally and feel guilty and change when proven to be biased. This whole time you’ve been chirping “CongCong CongCong” as if he wasn’t a cultivated young master and instead a flower in a greenhouse. You didn’t even hesitate to run to MuMu ready to accuse him cause “CongCong said so”, but yeah, you definitely did everything to tighten the leash on the lucky coin u found on the street. Absolutely deplorable.🤡
  35. i feel anger towards mrs.xiao more cause my mother’s also like this lord i feel mumu’s pain on anthr level 😞

  36. Madame Xiao wishes that she never found Xiao Yuanmu. Well, right from the start she and her family should have controlled their greediness to associate with Yuanmu because if I remember it correctly they also acknowledge/have a huge welcome party to let the world know that RE’s CEO/President (?) is their son and hoped that the company of Yuanmu will fall into ther hands. Now that it didn’t happen, they act like a brat. It is clear that they only want the benefits.

  37. i hv read quite a few novels with lousy mothers, but this woman beats them all in patheticness, what a joke! I am genuinely so angry rn, and just so so sad for yuanmu oh Lord!

  38. How delusional is that woman everyone who reads her thoughts or just this chapter can answer why he was indifferent alone her difference in reaction

  39. fuck you madame Xiao. you know exactly why he’s acting like that, it’s because time and time again you show your blatant favoritism to your younger son LMAO, i’m not even a part of your messed up family but i can tell you are too far gone for me to tell you you need to wake up gurl
