Chapter 1457 - He Is My Son (30) (1/2)

Mo Zhi was startled and quickly looked around. He stepped forward and grabbed Yao Lili’s arm, asking, “Why are you here?!”

She was about to answer when they heard footsteps. She turned around and saw Mo Hai coming downstairs. She quickly lowered her voice and whispered, “Come to my room before daybreak and we’ll talk.”

The man nodded and quickly put on a hostile expression. He said, “Stay away from me!”

Then he arrogantly stepped away from her, towards Mo Hai.

Mo Hai looked at the man with a frown and asked, “Where have you been today?”

Mo Zhi reported, “At the office!”

Mo Hai looked at his son and sighed deeply as he patted the man on the shoulder. “Put in your best. Dad still believes in you.”

Mo Zhi, who had been feeling neglected for a few days now, suddenly felt his eyes burn as they filled with tears. He nodded vigorously and said, “Dad, I will work hard.”

Mo Hai pointed at the dining room and said, “Alright already, go and have your dinner. As long as you humble yourself enough to learn, you still have a chance of picking up the knowledge you’re lacking. After all, you’re still young. And you hold the majority of the Mo family business’ shares.”

The unsaid was obvious. He was telling Mo Zhi that he was the true heir of the Mo family fortune, and the future of the Mo family still belonged to him.

Mo Zhi felt a sudden rush of excitement and brightened up immediately upon hearing what his father had said.

When Yao Lili observed this, she lowered her head to hide her smile.

Mo Hai thought that he loved Mo Zhi only because Mo Zhi was his beloved Li Shu’s son.

But the fact was, Mo Zhi was the son that he had brought up and educated himself, how could he feel nothing for the young man? Perhaps Mo Hai had not realized this himself.

Hence, Mo Zhi had never really lost the game.

Yao Lili smiled at this thought. Suddenly, as though having sensed something, her posture stiffened. She turned around quickly and saw Li Shu standing in the corridor. Her gaze was fixed on Yao Lili.

Yao Lili’s smile instantly vanished. She lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t noticed the woman, and then walked up the stairs quietly.

Before she could get to the guest room, she had to walk past Li Shu. She lifted her gaze and gave Li Shu a broad smile. As she was about to step into the guest room, she suddenly heard Lu Shu say, “What is it like having Mo Xincheng as a son?”

Yao Lili halted and turned around with a puzzled expression. “What?”

Li Shu pointed in the direction of the man downstairs and couldn’t help laughing as she said, “You know something? There is something that I’m definitely not as good at as you are.

Yao Lili was slightly taken aback by her words.

Li Shu turned to look at her and said to her deliberately, “I’m not as good as you are when it comes to bringing up kids.”

She had said bringing up, not bearing.

Mo Zhi had been brought up by Li Shu and Mo Hai, but he wasn’t even a tenth of what Mo Xicheng was.

Li Shu found it laughable at this point.

Suddenly, she felt grateful and wanted to thank Yao Lili. Without her, perhaps Mo Xicheng wouldn’t have been the excellent young man he was today.

It was ironic and laughable.

She smirked icily and turned to look at Yao Lili, who was staring back at her as though not understanding a word she was saying.

Li Shu did not say anything else but returned to her room.

After shutting the room door, all expressions vanished from Li Shu’s face.

She stared blankly ahead, the only image on her mind was how Mo Hai had patted Mo Zhi on the shoulder.
