Yao Lili looked around and took in the familiar surroundings. A sense of anticipation was already taking roots deep in her heart.
She recalled the time when Mo Xicheng had started making money and bought his own house. Then Mo Hai had come up to her and asked her to move out. The disappointment and reluctance to leave… but now, Li Shu was bringing her back here.
As these thoughts came to her mind, the car pulled to a stop.
Immediately, the main door swung open and Mo Hai rushed out hurriedly.
Yao Lili’s eyes lit up. Had Mo Hai found out she was coming back and had come out here to welcome her?
She quickly opened the car door. Just as she was getting out, she saw Mo Hai open the door of the backseat. He was smiling and speaking to Li Shu softly, “Li Shu, you’re home?”
His tone was as gentle as one could imagine it to be. When Yao Lili heard it, she was consumed by jealousy.
Biting her lip, she got out of the car on her own. She was going to greet Mo Hai, but then saw that the groveling man had turned around and followed Li Shu into the living room. As they walked, he was telling her, “I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare light dishes today. I know you like vegetarian food, so I’ve asked them not to make anything non-vegetarian. There are a few stir-fried vegetable dishes that you like. Take a look and see if it suits your taste.”
Li Shu did not speak, but she walked ahead like an empress.
Meanwhile, Mo Hai didn’t even feel the least bit embarrassed and continued to follow her.
They walked into the living room. All this time, no one even turned around to speak with Yao Lili, and the woman was left standing outside.
The housekeepers and bodyguards in the house threw her strange looks, making her feel like she had nowhere to hide her shame.
She lowered her head and gave a light cough. SHe then lifted her chin again and walked into the living room.
When she walked into the living room, she realized that Li Shu and Mo Hai had already gone to the dining room. Mo Hai was going through the menu with her, saying, “Look at these vegetables, aren’t they fresh? I tell you, I specially started a small vegetable area in the garden. I planted this vegetable myself!”
Yao Lili frowned and cleared her throat.
The sound caused Mo Hai to halt in surprise. He spun his head around. When he saw Yao Lili, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, “What are you doing here?!”
Yao Lili: …!!
Had the man not noticed her before this?
That was a bit much.
Yao Lili bit her lip and felt herself burning with humiliation.
But she forced a smile on her face and started, “Mr. Mo, I—”
Before she could say much, Mo Hai walked up to her and berated her with a frown, “Why? Have you run out of pocket money again? You could have just called and I’d get the secretary to send some. How many times have I told you that this home belongs to Li Shu and I? You are not allowed in here! Get out now!”
Yao Lili bit her lip as her eyes filled with tears. She started again, “Mr. Mo, I—”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you understand Chinese? Get out!”
Mo Hai was really nervous now. After all the time and effort he had spent trying to make up with Li Shu, now this woman had come into their home. Was she trying to be at odds with him?
If Li Shu got angry and decided to leave again, then what was he going to do?
Mo Hai looked out of the dining room nervously and yelled, “Butler! Where’s the butler? Call for the security and take this woman away!”
