Chapter 1422 - Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (95) (1/2)

Li Shu paused at Mo Hai’s question and after a while, nodded.

Mistakes had been made. The only thing that they could do now was stop things from deteriorating.

She had to make a decision at this critical moment.

Otherwise when they came to a point of no return, Mo Zhi would force Mo Xicheng to the limits of sanity.

She did appreciate Mo Xicheng and had an odd affection towards him.

But compared to her own son, of course Mo Zhi held more weight.

She was doing all of this for Mo Zhi’s sake.

Allowing Mo Xicheng to lead the Mo family would also mean the Shi family would not take revenge on the Mo family. This would ensure the family’s safety. And it would also mean the Shi family would let Mo Zhi off for Mo Xicheng’s sake.

Li Shu knew the Mo family too well. Apart from Si Jingyu, there wasn’t a benevolent soul.

Shi Jinyan, besides being a cunning fox, doted on his daughter to no end. Shi Xun himself was not a person one would want to offend.

Although she was on good terms with Si Jingyu, the fact was that in this matter Mo Zhi was at fault. If it hadn’t been for Mo Xicheng, the outcome would have been disastrous.

Even if she herself had gone to them to plead on behalf of her son and her best friend would let him off for her sake, she could not bring herself to approach Si Jingyu on this matter.

Mo Zhi had done something too low-down, it was way too vile. This was the worst thing that anyone among them could have done, and she simply could not accept it.

Hence she had to make a choice now.

At this thought, Li Shu lowered her head with a determined expression.

Seeing that was the case, Mo Hai said after a moment of hesitation, “Ok, I understand.”

He got onto his feet, looking at Li Shu still. He opened his mouth to say something but eventually, no words came.

He wasn’t sure how it was best to put it.
