Chapter 1421: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (94)

Her words stunned Mo Hai. He looked at her with a shocked expression and asked, “What- what did you say?”

He must have misheard.

He had thought that what Li Shu would want was for him to legally sever all ties with Mo Xicheng, and to ask the mother and son to leave the Mo family.

But he had not expected this request instead.

Li Shu must have made a mistake.

She cast her gaze down, smiled, and then continued, “Mo Hai, aren’t you aware of how Mo Zhi has turned out?”

Wasn’t he aware?

How could he not be aware!

Where Mo Zhi’s real capabilities were concerned, no one was more aware than Mo Hai.

As a child, whenever Mo Zhi was disciplined by his father, the boy would wail and ask for his mother so that he could complain to her.

At the time, Mo Hai would inevitably feel his own heart ache. He had also been afraid that every time Li Shu came home to such complaints, it would anger and frustrate her. Hence, Mo Hai would give in to the boy.

After some time, the teacher informed him that Mo Zhi was unable to keep up with his school work, that the boy was not progressing and wished to stop schooling.

That was when he realized he had held the boy back.

But he was even more afraid of Li Shu’s wrath, hence the lie… day after day, year after year, it had built up.

He had always felt that no matter how much the boy didn’t meet his expectations, he was still his son. If it came to the worst, he would hire a few business managers and all the boy would need to do was enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor.

He could get Mo Zhi to have a few children, and he could groom the grandchildren instead.

Hence in a way, one could say that he had given up on the boy.

But even so, he had never thought of choosing Mo Xicheng.

As these thoughts formed in his head, Li Shu spoke, “Give the business to Mo Xicheng, let Mo Zhi withdraw from it completely. And in future when Mo Xicheng successfully operates it, he surely would not leave Mo Zhi out. But if you continue to allow Mo Zhi to run the business, he will forever suspect Mo Xicheng and will continue doing things that will force Mo Xicheng to retaliate, like now. So hand the business over to Mo Xicheng.”

She said these things calmly and unhurriedly. Then she turned to look around and continued, “As for Mo Zhi, I will get the Li family to look after him. At least it will guarantee him a comfortable life. It’s not too late if he wishes to learn anything now. And when he has mastered a skill and wishes to return, he can’t. Otherwise, it’s useless to place the Mo family in his hands.”

Li Shu’s eyes reddened when she said these words.

She knew she was taking away her own son’s inheritance by saying these things.

After Mo Xicheng took over the business, even if Mo Zhi was the Mo family’s successor, he would be living under the mercy of Mo Xicheng.

Mo Xicheng was a kind and good man.

But Mo Zhi had bullied him since they were children. Even if Mo Xicheng was a saint, it would be hard to not take that to heart.

But she had no other option.

She had seen with her own eyes the difference between the two boys, and finally acknowledged Mo Zhi’s inadequacy and lacking skills thanks to Shi Nianyao. She finally had to face reality.

Only if Mo Xicheng took over the family business and forced Mo Zhi out of the game could they keep things in balance between the two boys.

Mo Hai looked at Li Shu steadily and asked, “Is that your final decision?”

To him, both boys were his sons.

The only person that mattered to him was Li Shu.
