Chapter 1421 - Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (94) (1/2)
Her words stunned Mo Hai. He looked at her with a shocked expression and asked, “What- what did you say?”
He must have misheard.
He had thought that what Li Shu would want was for him to legally sever all ties with Mo Xicheng, and to ask the mother and son to leave the Mo family.
But he had not expected this request instead.
Li Shu must have made a mistake.
She cast her gaze down, smiled, and then continued, “Mo Hai, aren’t you aware of how Mo Zhi has turned out?”
Wasn’t he aware?
How could he not be aware!
Where Mo Zhi’s real capabilities were concerned, no one was more aware than Mo Hai.
As a child, whenever Mo Zhi was disciplined by his father, the boy would wail and ask for his mother so that he could complain to her.
At the time, Mo Hai would inevitably feel his own heart ache. He had also been afraid that every time Li Shu came home to such complaints, it would anger and frustrate her. Hence, Mo Hai would give in to the boy.
After some time, the teacher informed him that Mo Zhi was unable to keep up with his school work, that the boy was not progressing and wished to stop schooling.
That was when he realized he had held the boy back.
But he was even more afraid of Li Shu’s wrath, hence the lie… day after day, year after year, it had built up.
He had always felt that no matter how much the boy didn’t meet his expectations, he was still his son. If it came to the worst, he would hire a few business managers and all the boy would need to do was enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor.
He could get Mo Zhi to have a few children, and he could groom the grandchildren instead.
