Chapter 1481 - He Is My Son (54) (1/2)

After she parted ways with Si Jingyu, Li Shu headed home with reddened eyes.

The moment she walked into the house, both Mo Hai and Mo Zhi hurriedly came up to greet her.

Seeing her bloodshot eyes, Mo Hai was instantly angered and said, “She made things difficult for you? Isn’t she our best friend? Why can’t she come to meet me? Why must she insist on meeting with you alone? Even if we, the Mo family, went broke, we will not bow to her!”

Upon hearing these protective words, Li Shu looked up and glanced at Mo Hai.

She had been frustrated over the children’s matter and now, as she cast her gaze on Mo Hai and noticed how his hair had grayed, she suddenly felt that the things that had mattered to her all her life, the things that she had insisted on, were now all unimportant.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Both Mo Hai and Mo Zhi had known that she was meeting Si Jingyu today. Mo Zhi was terribly worried that the Shi family would take action against him to retaliate, hence he had been home all day.

When he heard what Mo Hai had said, he nervously asked, “Mom, did they say what they were going to do to me? I- I really am sorry. I’m even willing to go to their house to apologize personally. Mom, what did you achieve with your conversation?”

Li Shu threw Mo Zhi a look upon hearing this.

This child had always only worried about himself, why hadn’t she realized that and seen his true colors from a long time ago?

She cast her gaze down and said calmly after a moment, “Si Jingyu has agreed to let you off this time.”

Mo Zhi immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Mo Hai looked at Li Shu with a pained expression.

Li Shu had been doted on and protected since childhood. And because she was very well-read, she seemed haughtier than most people. But having to actually plead with her long-time best friend, how could he not feel her pain?
