Chapter 1408: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (81)
But right now, Mo Xicheng was suffering a concussion and he couldn’t even stand up steadily, if she left him alone…
She turned to look at the infuriated Mo Hai and she could not help but worry.
She started, “I—”
“Yao Yao, listen to me,” Mo Xicheng interrupted her.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao could only relent and got onto her feet. “Ok then, I’ll wait outside along the corridor. Call me when you’re done.”
She was worried and thought that if at least she waited outside, she could quickly take action in case Mo Hai did anything to Mo Xicheng.
The man understood her intentions and, at once, felt warmth welling up in his heart.
But because he really did not wish for her to witness the ugly treatment he received from the Mo family’s Mo Hai, he could only let her wait outside.
He knew that unless he agreed, s.h.i.+ Nianyao would not leave the room. Hence he nodded.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao got up and was about to leave the room when suddenly Mo Hai said with a frosty laugh, “Why? Are you afraid to face the consequence of your act? So what if Ms. s.h.i.+ is here listening? Doesn’t this matter concern Ms. s.h.i.+ here as well?”
Mo Hai’s intention was to let s.h.i.+ Nianyao stay and see the ugly side of Mo Xicheng.
As his father, he could shame Mo Xicheng thoroughly.
Women loved a hero. And if she discovered how Mo Xicheng was treated in the Mo family, and how shameful he was, perhaps she would stop being so enamored with him.
The fact was that he still hoped s.h.i.+ Nianyao would choose to be with Mo Zhi. Like that, Mo Zhi would secure his position and status.
Unfortunately, he could not be explicit about such things.
When he noted that s.h.i.+ Nianyao had halted, he immediately looked at Mo Xicheng and started to rebuke the man, “You dishonorable son! Do you know what you’ve done? Since childhood, everything you had were hand-me-downs from your elder brother! He gave them to you! You ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Now that you’re grown up, you steal his girlfriend, and now even beat him up?”
The words he used were ugly, and Mo Xicheng could only feel embarra.s.sed.
And especially in front of the woman he loved, the shame was doubled.
He glanced at s.h.i.+ Nianyao reflexively, but to his surprise, he only saw fury in her expression and not an ounce of pity towards him.
In that instant he suddenly understood.
They were husband and wife.
Hence she had the right to know, to share his weakness and the ugly side of his life.
Why had he even thought of asking her to leave the room?
As he thought about this, he looked obviously distracted.
On the other hand, seeing that Mo Hai was so furious, Yao Lili was afraid that Mo Xicheng would start revealing the truth. Hence she quickly added, “Mo Xicheng, are you trying to send your father to his grave? Hurry up and apologize! You’re father and son after all. Just apologize to your elder brother and swear that you will never lay hands on him again, and they will let you off.”
When Mo Xicheng heard this, he finally snapped to his senses.
He looked at Yao Lili impa.s.sively.
It had always been like this. When he was a child, every time he had a disagreement with Mo Zhi, Yao Lili would make him apologize the same way.
Was he of a lower status than Mo Zhi in his mother’s heart?
When Mo Hai heard Yao Lili’s words, he was further angered.
