Chapter 1584: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (57)

Following this, she shyly dashed out of the door.

Si Jingyu laughed and said nothing, but she kept staring at the doorway expectedly.

Indeed, after a few moments, Shi Nianyao’s head popped around the door again. She said, “Mom, please be kind with my idol. Don’t make fun of him!”

Si Jingyu: …

Mo Xicheng: …

Shi Jinyan glared at his daughter. She stuck her tongue out and quickly disappeared from their view.

Si Jingyu couldn’t help shaking her head as she looked at Shi Jinyan. She told him, “Take her out to get a coffee for me, don’t get in our way.”

At his wife’s instruction, the man, who had been intimidating and aggressive with Mo Xicheng a moment ago, suddenly became like a docile giant wolfhound. He nodded at So Jingyu and walked out.

Mo Xicheng observed the interaction between the couple and cast his gaze down.

Since childhood, he had lived in a dysfunctional family without a father. His mother hadn’t shown love for him. Hence, he had never really seen for himself what normal family life meant.

But it was obvious that Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan had a good relationship and they had been together for a long time. And even then, Shi Jinyan took his wife’s every word seriously.

He wondered if it would be the same for Shi Nianyao and him in the future.

He became a little distracted as he was thinking about this and only snapped out of his daze when Shi Jingyu coughed softly.

He looked at her respectfully and pointed at the sofa. “Auntie, please take a seat.”

The woman smiled as she sat down. Then she looked at Mo Xicheng and started, “I think you know what I want to say.”

Mo Xicheng nodded and replied, “I know, it’s because of her.”

Si Jingyu nodded and said, “Yes, Li Shu and I are close friends. Also, you and Nianyao are together. Now that this has happened, as a senior, I should have a chat with you.”

Mo Xicheng was most respectful as he said, “Please speak freely.”

Si Jingyu continued, “The truth is Li Shu has known for some time now that you’re her son.”

Caught by surprise, Mo Xicheng asked, “When did she find out?”

The woman replied, “When you and Mo Zhi started to fall out and were in the hospital.”

A sudden realization dawned on him. So that was when!

But why had she kept this from him till now?

Why had she announced it only now?

Sensing his confusion, she explained, “Li Shu wanted you to have what is rightly yours. This was the reason why she did not say anything. But during this time, I believe you must have also felt that she has been guilt-ridden and regretful. She wants to be a good mother, but she doesn’t feel she has the right to ask for your forgiveness. She can only watch over you from afar and wish the best for you.”

“As her closest friend, I know I cannot force you to forgive her, but I do hope that this will be a harmonious and gentle turning point for the two of you.”

After this, Mo Xicheng lowered his head and said nothing. She asked, “Mo Xicheng, I have a question for you.”

The man nodded and asked, “Yes?”

She asked him after an unhurried pause, “Do you hate Li Shu so much that you can’t bring yourself to forgive her?”

Astounded by this remark, he asked, “What made you say that?”

However following this, he seemed relieved and continued with a disappointed smile, “Auntie, I think you must have misunderstood something.”

Si Jingyu raised her eyebrows as she heard the man continue, “Even though I’ve always been treated as the illegitimate child, the fact is she was never unkind to me.”
