This question was something Yao Lili had absolutely not expected and it stunned her momentarily. Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and added, “I’m just asking, there’s no special meaning.” She widened her eyes and got to her feet. Looking at him with a shocked expression and asked, “What do you mean?”
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and replied, “I’m just asking, there’s no special meaning.”
She gulped and went into a slight daze.
Had the secret that she had kept hidden for so many years been discovered?
No, that was not possible.
Still shocked, she looked at Mo Xicheng and replied, “Of course it’s because of your father. Why would I treat Mo Zhi so well otherwise? In your father’s heart, he only has one son and that’s Mo Zhi. If we please Mo Zhi, we please your dad.”
Mo Xicheng did not say anything in response. Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer.
However, he did feel that what he was thinking was too bizarre.
Surely, it wasn’t what he was thinking.
It shouldn’t be.
He lowered his head and laughed at himself in mockery. He looked up at Yao Lili and said unhurriedly, “Mom, if it’s too hard staying at the Mo family home, just move out. I have 30 percent of the company shares. In the future, I will even inherit 30 percent of the Mo family estate. You won’t lack anything. How about that?”
Immediately, Yao Lili berated him, “Do you think I care about money? I’ve been telling you since you were a child that money is the least of my concerns! I only want your dad. Otherwise, I would have just taken the huge sum of money they offered me to make me go away back then. Why didn’t I leave?! Don’t you understand my thinking?!”
At the time, when she showed up at the Mo family home, Li Shu and Mo Hai had tried to give her a large sum of money so that she would leave. She had refused to go and also did not take any of the money.
Given this, Mo Hai had believed that she did not harbor ill intentions.
And Li Shu also dropped her guard, because Yao Lili hadn’t appeared to be the sort of woman who was after money and status. Hence, Li Shu hadn’t blamed her.
But only Yao Lili knew that she had sneaked her son into the Mo family, so how could she possibly take the money and leave by herself? She could not just leave, she had to stay to watch over her own child. Besides, this had helped her make a good impression on Mo Hai and Li Shu.
Looking back on what she had done, she was most satisfied.
Her only regret was that at the time, Li Shu had seen her plight and had thought that she had no wild ambitions, that she was only a victim.
Hence, the woman had suggested that Mo Xicheng went to school together with Mo Zhi.
As a result, Mo Xicheng was now well-educated. Even at school, he had obviously fared better than Mo Zhi.
At this thought, Yao Lili could not help but berate herself for having felt some guilt towards Mo Xicheng at that time and allowing him to receive such a good education.
She lowered her gaze. As she berated herself, she looked up at Mo Xicheng and continued, “So what do you think of what I’ve just said?”
Mo Xicheng got to his feet and repeated, “I’ve said it, it’s not a good idea.”
Then he turned around and headed out of the room.
After he had taken a few steps, Yao Lili called him, “Mo Xicheng!”
Mo Xicheng turned around.
Yao Lili’s eyes were fixed on him as she said, “Even if you don’t agree, the meeting that’s going on in the penthouse right now is in order to kick you out of the Mo family enterprise anyway. You’ll still end up with nothing.”
