Chapter 1385: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (58)

After stating this, Mo Xicheng strode away.

Yao Lili was so livid that she sat on the bed, heaving.

Right now, apart from the anger, she was feeling an odd dread.

She wondered if he had found out he was the rightful Young Master Mo and son of Li Shu, and had realized this was the reason why there had always been a gap in their relationship.

Because every time Mo Xicheng stared at her with those eyes, she felt that it was Li Shu staring at her.

She hated Li Shu to the core.

Because Dad Mo, Mo Hai, only had eyes for Li Shu. But she herself was just a mistake he had made when they got drunk one night. And on top of that, they had only ever been intimate that one time. She liked Mo Hai and had spent all her youth on him, in hope that she would win his attention.

But day after day, year after year, Mo Hai’s attention had never been hers.

Now her heart was gradually growing cold.

She only felt that Mo Hai owed her, and Li Shu owed her too.

Hence, she wanted her own son to inherit the Mo estate. She wanted Li Shu’s own flesh and blood, to make the illegitimate son that Mo Hai had loved nevertheless live in darkness forever.

At this thought, Yao Lili clenched her fists tightly.

Ever since he was a child, Mo Xicheng would give in to her whenever she shed a tear or two, or threw a small tantrum.

She had always thought that he would treat her kindly because she was his mother.

But now it looked like… her theory was falling apart.

But no, she must not let things get out of hand.

She had to have Mo Zhi marry Shi Nianyao successfully because everything was subject to change. And if one day the truth should come to light, and Mo Zhi had a wife like Shi Nianyao, there would be a chance for him to fight Mo Xicheng for the Mo family estate.

So she had to continue to work hard!

–

Mo Xicheng walked out of the hospital building and onto the street. He looked ahead feeling a little lost.

He knew that Shi Nianyao had not told him about what had happened because she hadn’t wanted to upset him.

Besides, since she had managed to walk away from the situation in the private room, it meant she was safe.

But at this moment, he felt a deep sorrow.

Since childhood, he had given in to her whenever she threw a tantrum.

But the truth was that he had long been tired of this way of living. One could even say that he was tired of Yao Lili.

Yao Lili did not treat him kindly, that was a fact without doubt.

She always had a good excuse to do things that would hurt him.

He wanted to retaliate, just like how he had once run away from home.

But in the end…

He had looked into Li Shu’s calm and steady eyes. They were like eyes that had seen life and death.

When he saw the complexity of emotions in those eyes, he had felt a tight squeeze in his heart. He couldn’t bring himself to disappoint her.

He knew that every time he had an argument with Yao Lili, she would use that as an excuse to look for Dad Mo. And every call that she made to him, every tear she shed, would make Li Shu uncomfortable.

He wasn’t sure if it was a misperception on his part.

But he had always sensed a certain look in her eyes, a sort of disdain and sarcasm.

It was as though she was saying, “You people are putting on an act again? Go on, keep doing it.”

All of a sudden, Mo Xicheng felt that he didn’t want to be perceived like that by Li Shu.

He was not in cahoots with Yao Lili. From now on, he no longer wanted to give Yao Lili a reason to look for Mo Hai. At least even if she did, he wouldn’t be the reason.
