Chapter 1540: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (13)
If Mo Xicheng inherited the family estate, then what would become of Mo Zhi?
If everyone found out that Mo Zhi could not hold a candle to Mo Xicheng, then wouldn’t the former become a laughing stock?!
After Mo Zhi spoke and saw that Mo Hai was still wavering, he immediately lowered his head and sighed. “I know I’m not as good as Mo Xicheng, that is why you allowed Mo Xicheng to join the company. And I know too, Dad, that you are very disappointed in me. But Dad, you have to believe me, I’ve been putting in my best effort. Do you know that man, w.a.n.g Wendong, berated me?”
Mo Hai paused and saw that Mo Zhi’s eyes had reddened. He instantly asked, “Berated you about what?”
“He said that I had been abandoned by you and that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d child Mo Xicheng has become your favorite son! And everyone laughed at me. I- I don’t even feel like meeting anyone anymore.”
Mo Zhi hung his head after saying this, looking weak and helpless. This caused Mo Hai to feel even more guilty.
Since Li Shu had told him to hand the business over to Mo Xicheng, he had started to feel a deep guilt towards Mo Zhi. And now that Mo Zhi looked so wronged and grieved, Mo Hai’s heart softened. He nodded and said, “I know.”
Mo Zhi’s eyes lit up.
Looking at him, Mo Hai shook his head.

When the father and son finally emerged from the lounge, Mo Xicheng was still standing there with his head lowered in the same position, as though the private conversation in the lounge had never taken place.
Oddly, seeing Mo Xicheng’s behavior made Mo Hai feel a tinge of guilt. He halted for a brief moment and continued to walk towards the man.
He sat back on his swivel chair and looked at his two sons.
Finally, he looked at Mo Xicheng and said, “Since Shen Liangchuan has already transferred some funds to Director w.a.n.g, I think that if you have a chat with Director w.a.n.g to let him know that our funds will be delayed for a month, it should be alright.”
Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank back when he heard this. He snapped his head up and looked at Mo Hai with an expression of disbelief.
Mo Hai lowered his head and looked away, not daring to meet the young man’s eyes. He coughed lightly and said, “Your brother needs the funds more urgently. I think you can avoid the the problem more easily on your end. Let’s do that then.”
After saying this, he dismissed them with a wave of his hand. “Alright, go back to your work.”
It was clear in his behavior that he wanted them gone, Mo Xicheng did not even have a chance to speak.
He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Mo Hai, feeling that the man couldn’t be any more biased if he tried.
He threw a look at Mo Hai, then spun around and walked away.
Staring at the man’s figure, Mo Zhi said to Mo Hai, “Dad, just look at him, he’s that arrogant. Oh well, it’s hard to blame him. Working in our family business is unworthy of his talent after all!”
Mo Hai frowned upon hearing Mo Zhi’s remarks and berated him, “Stop saying negative things about others behind their backs. Have you got no work to do? If you haven’t finished your work, you shouldn’t be hanging around here.”
Mo Zhi quickly walked out of the office. At the doorway, he turned around and said to Mo Hai, “Dad, remember to call Manager Liu of the finance department to let him know. Huh! Did you know that ever since we have a Junior CEO Mo in the company, people have started to ignore what I say?”
On this note, he shut the door to Mo Hai’s office.
After the door had shut completely, he straightened up his posture and twitched his mouth. He took out his cell phone excitedly to call Yao Lili.
