Chapter 1574: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (47)
A piece of earth-shattering news had now made its way to the entertainment and business world.
The illegitimate child, who everyone knew had been in the Mo Family for so many years, but who no one would talk about, had turned out to be the real McCoy.
Whereas that good-for-nothing Young Master had turned out to be only an illegitimate son.
The news shook up the entertainment world and the industry in an instant.
On the internet, all the nasty remarks initially targeted at Mo Xicheng had now quietly turned into remarks that were more along the lines of “What a counterattack,” “The truth knocked us,” or “What an evil mistress.”
Although Mo Xicheng had suffered great damage to his reputation because of being an illegitimate child, this piece of news gave him a huge boost of attention and sympathy points.
Suddenly, his popularity sky-rocketed to a level beyond what he had ever achieved.
In turn, this gave his new film, Ambition 2, additional publicity.
And now in the Mo family, tension was building up.
–
In the Mo family residence.
Yao Lili knelt on the floor, her eyes bloodshot from crying.
Before her, Mo Hai and Li Shu sat on the sofa with no trace of expression on their faces.
There were two policemen standing by the side, getting ready to take Yao Lili away.
The woman looked at Mo Hai and Mo Zhi. She said, “Mo Hai, Mo Zhi, please don’t treat me like this! I didn’t do this on purpose. I didn’t know the babies had been swapped!”
Then, as though she suddenly remembered something, she quickly turned around to look at Li Shu and said, “Madam, I really didn’t do this on purpose. It’s true. Madam, please don’t do this!”
Given that this case went back more than twenty years, if the Mo Family did not pursue it, Yao Lili would not get into trouble. And whether Yao Lili got arrested now was solely dependent on Li Shu’s mood.
But how would Li Shu let her off easily?
The woman narrowed her eyes, looked at her and said, “Yao Lili, there’s no escape from the evil you created for yourself! I believe the one night you had with Mo Hai was an accident, but how could you-”
She was choked by her emotions at this point and clutched her chest tightly.
Although she hadn’t managed to finish what she was saying, the obvious hatred in her eyes shut Yao Lili up at once.
She knew that she was not going to get anything from Li Shu.
She quickly turned to Mo Zhi and crept on the floor towards him. Then she put her arms around his legs crying. “Mo Zhi, I-”
She did not finish what she wanted to say, as she realized Mo Zhi was probably in the worst position.
His status was now an embarra.s.sment. She was thankful enough that the Mo family would not hold him accountable for what had happened.
At this thought, Yao Lili immediately released her grip on Mo Zhi and turned to Mo Xicheng, who had since been standing on the side, watching the scene unfold.
Her eyes immediately narrowed as she charged up to him, wailing. “Mo Xicheng, I’m your mother! Even if I’m not your real mother, I brought you up. You must not be ungrateful, or you will cause the wrath of the heavens. You can’t treat me like this! Say something. If only you’d speak up for me, they’d let me off! Mo Xicheng, even if I have made a mistake, I brought you up!”
Mo Xicheng stared at the distraught Yao Lili.
What sort of life had he been living in the past that he had failed to realize that… and even now, the person that Yao Lili protected was ultimately Mo Zhi.
