Chapter 1333: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (6)
s.h.i.+ Nianyao thought, “Now you’ve realized.”
But she could only think it, she didn’t dare to say it out loud.
She smiled and said, “Auntie, don’t worry too much, you’re his mom. This is how it goes.”
After Yao Lili heard this, she nodded and said, “Yes, I’m his mom. Even if I’m bad to him, I’m still his mom. Nianyao-ah, did you know that, when he was young, once Mo Xicheng had an exam and he did slightly better than Mo Zhi? When he came back, I used a broom to beat him up. I had told him before that he couldn’t do better than Mo Zhi in exams. It’s because this is what we owe the Mo Family.”
“It’s just that I’m a bad mother. I used a lowly affection to love his father deeply, refusing to leave. It’s just that I shamelessly stayed in this house. This ruined the relations.h.i.+p between his father and Li Shu. I already owe this family too much, I cannot allow Mo Xicheng to s.n.a.t.c.h Mo Zhi’s limelight.”
“So at that time, I beat him a lot and I was also scared. Did you know? Mo Xicheng was only ten then, he was in the rebellious stage. If he didn’t listen to me and performed a lot better than Mo Zhi, I was worried that Li Shu would deal with him. I did all of this for his sake.”
“But this child, he doesn’t accept my good intentions and chose to leave the house.”
“Did you know that the moment he left, I felt that my whole life had become empty? I had no idea where to find him, I could only stay at home and cry.”
“At that time, I couldn’t help but wonder whether I had done wrongly. Maybe I shouldn’t have stayed in this house, maybe I shouldn’t have restricted him… But I don’t regret it! If I hadn’t done all of this, if I had left the Mo Family then, he wouldn’t have gotten the chance to receive such quality education. He wouldn’t have been able to grow up in such a good environment. And he wouldn’t have become a useful person now.”
As Yao Lili mentioned this, her eyes became red.
She lowered her head, rubbed her eyes and looked at s.h.i.+ Nianyao,
s.h.i.+ Nianyao couldn’t help but take a tissue and pa.s.s it to her. “Auntie, dry your tears.”
Yao Lili took it from her and, after drying her tears, she lifted her head up. She suddenly stuck her hand out and grabbed s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s hand. “Child, I know you’re a good person. You must understand my efforts, right?”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao didn’t know what to reply.
She really didn’t want to understand her, but in this case, what was the point if she said that she didn’t?
She lifted her head up and looked at Mo Xicheng.
She saw that Mo Xicheng was also frowning. He couldn’t help but say, “Mom, what are you saying all of this for?”
“Why am I telling her this?” Yao Lili immediately lifted her head up and looked at them with reddened eyes. “Do you two still not understand what I meant?”
“Nianyao’s status is too high. If you get married, people might target you, even if Mo Xicheng doesn’t fight for the Mo family’s inheritance.”
“Also, I can’t accept that I stole someone’s husband and my son stole someone else’s wife.”
“So…”
Yao Lili suddenly stood up and knelt in front of s.h.i.+ Nianyao.
“Nianyao, I’m pleading you, can you not be together with Mo Xicheng? Can you marry Mo Zhi instead?”
