Chapter 1477: He Is My Son (50)
s.h.i.+ Xun had not taken any actions against the Mo family for a few reasons. One was because of Mo Xicheng, the other was because of Si Jingyu and Li Shu’s relations.h.i.+p.
After all, Mo Zhi was Li Shu’s son. s.h.i.+ Xun wanted to hear Li Shu’s opinion on the matter.
Now that he had told them about this, s.h.i.+ Nianyao was stunned.
She had thought that the matter was water under the bridge. She would have never expected that her elder brother would bring it up again today.
She looked at s.h.i.+ Jinyan nervously. He gave a frosty smirk and said, “I don’t know how Mo Zhi got the gall to do that. He even dared hit you.”
That last sentence was obviously directed at s.h.i.+ Nianyao.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao said with a wave of her hand, “No, Dad, I—”
Before she could finish, s.h.i.+ Jinyan looked at s.h.i.+ Xun and interrupted, “And you? You just found out that your sister got attacked and did nothing?”
s.h.i.+ Xun sighed and said, “That’s because Mo Xicheng got entangled in this. He said that he wanted to personally take revenge for this matter.”
“And so?”
“And so to avoid the responsibility, the Mo family gave Mo Xicheng 30 percent of their family business shares. These shares are actually their way of apologizing to Nianyao.”
There was another icy smirk from s.h.i.+ Jinyan as he said, “And 30 percent of their shares means a lot to you?”
s.h.i.+ Xun had expected this reaction from s.h.i.+ Jinyan and could only sigh helplessly. He replied, “Dad, it doesn’t mean much to me, but I wasn’t sure that if I had dealt with Mo Zhi, Li Shu might have come looking for Mom. So I’ve waited till now, for the both of you to be back, to make a decision. I’ll do whatever you say. Mo Zhi will always be there, he won’t disappear either way.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan gave an icy humph and seemed satisfied with the answer.
s.h.i.+ Xun then looked at s.h.i.+ Nianyao and asked, “Yao Yao, what do you think?”
Upon hearing this, she immediately said, “That man has a death wish, to think he even dared to scheme against me! So for sure, Mo Zhi has to be dealt with. But as to how and to what extent, we might need to discuss.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan nodded and asked, “How do we deal with him?”
“The way I see it, there’s no one Mo Zhi hates more than my idol, so leave the matter to my idol. I’m sure the outcome will be effective. Even if the man doesn’t die from the punishment, he’ll be disgusted to death.”
Everyone: …
s.h.i.+ Jinyan looked at her resentfully and said, “You’re speaking up for that Mo Xicheng?”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao hung her head upon hearing this remark and said, “It’s not that, I—”
“Then what is it?”
She lifted her gaze and looked at s.h.i.+ Jinyan steadily. Then she said, “I trust him. And I believe that he will not let off easily someone who has almost taken advantage of me.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan: …
s.h.i.+ Nianyao continued firmly, “So Mom, Dad, Big Brother, I hope you will listen to me once and leave the matter in my idol’s hands. He will not let anyone who has hara.s.sed me off, please believe at least this!”
The room fell silent after she had said this.
After a while, s.h.i.+ Jinyan asked, “You have chosen this man?”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao nodded immediately.
s.h.i.+ Jinyan frowned and looked at Si Jingyu.
She sighed and said, “I’ll go and have a chat with Li Shu tomorrow.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao sighed in relief that this problem had finally been discussed. The family went on to chat about some other things till it was late and everyone got ready to go to bed.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao yawned and prepared to head upstairs when she heard Si Jingyu asked her elder brother, “s.h.i.+ Xun, where’s our household registration booklet?”
