Chapter 1458: He Is My Son (31)
Mo Hai got a shock and quickly retreated, saying, “Fine, I’ll leave. Don’t be angry, Li Shu. I’ll do anything as long as you’re not angry.”
Li Shu simply found those words laughable.
She suddenly said, “Well then, if I asked you to give the business to Mo Xicheng, would you do it?”
That question completely stunned Mo Hai as he looked at Li Shu in disbelief. After a moment, he spoke reluctantly, “Li Shu, the situation is not as bad as you think. Giving him 30 percent of the shares is painful enough. That’s giving him too much advantage! Are- are you testing me? Li Shu, don’t worry. I really have no affection for Mo Xicheng. To me, that child is simply a symbol of shame, but Mo Zhi is different. It’s not possible for me to give the business to Mo Xicheng.”
Even if Mo Xicheng was your own flesh and blood, would you not?
Li Shu held back the words that came to her mind. She could only point at the doorway and say in a thoroughly disappointed tone, “Get out then.”
–
Mo Hai lay on the bed.
All these years, he had gotten used to sleeping alone. But today, sleep eluded him.
He felt a throbbing pain in his heart as he recalled Li Shu’s reaction today.
When would she forgive him?
He tossed and turned at this thought, unable to find rest.
He picked up his cell phone and glanced at it. It was already 11:50. He had to wake up early for a meeting tomorrow, yet he was unable to sleep. He sat up in bed.
Yao Lili’s appearance had made for an unhappy dinner and now he was a little hungry. He opened his bedroom door with the intention of going downstairs for some food.
As he was about to walk out, he thought he had sensed something. Turning around, he saw a silhouette enter Yao Lili’s guest room.
Mo Hai’s eyes flashed at once.
The silhouette had moved very quickly but still, he could tell it was a man.
Mo Hai’s eyes narrowed at once, thinking that Yao Lili had dared to openly bring a man into their home while staying with them.
He also knew that Li Shu’s cool att.i.tude with him boiled down to the problem of Yao Lili.
And now, if he caught Yao Lili red-handed, wouldn’t he have a proper and valid reason to kick this woman out of the house?
Mo Hai’s eyes sparkled at this thought. He took a couple of steps and approached the door of Yao Lili’s room. Staring at the door, he smirked.
Inside the room.
Yao Lili’s eyes reddened as she grabbed the young man who had come into her room in the middle of the night.
Wearing his pajamas, Mo Zhi stood there rubbing his sleepy eyes. Obviously, he was dead tired. He looked at Yao Lili half-heartedly and said, “Mom, why did you ask me to come over in the middle of the night? Is there a problem? If not, I’m going back to bed.”
Yao Lili instantly grabbed him by his arms and said, “What a child! Your mom hasn’t seen you all day. But now it will be a lot more convenient to see you. Look at you.”
Mo Zhi was getting a little impatient and said, “So why did you ask me to come over? And why are you staying at the Mo family home now?”
Yao Lili replied, “Li Shu must be planning to placate Mo Xicheng through us so that the incident with s.h.i.+ Nianyao is left alone.”
Mo Zhi said, “Isn’t the prob
