Chapter 1585: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (58)

“In fact, I am grateful to her. But my status was a problem, so in the past we had little contact and didn’t know each other well.”

Si Jingyu was taken aback. “So you mean you do not resent her?”

The young man nodded and clarified, “I have never resented her. It’s just that now I’m not quite sure how to relate to her. The sudden change in our relationship is a bit strange.”

Si Jingyu sighed in relief and got on her feet. She looked pleased as she addressed the young man, “You’re a good kid with a magnanimous and positive personality. You will lead a happy life. I feel assured handing my daughter over to you.”

Mo Xicheng nodded.

They spoke for another short while before So Jingyu got up to leave. Mo Xicheng walked her to her car and saw her off.

Even though he and Shi Nianyao were most reluctant to part, they didn’t have a choice.

The following days were busy.

First, Mo Zhi had to give his assets to Mo Xicheng.

Mo Xicheng was up to his neck in work.

Mo Hai had not turned up at the office, perhaps because of the guilt he felt about Mo Xicheng. It started to look like he was giving the entire business to the young man.

Every day at noon, a scene would repeat. Li Shu would come into the building and go to Mo Xicheng’s office carrying a lunch box that she had prepared herself.

They were like close strangers.

Everyone in the company knew this was one of Madam’s ways of making it up to her son, hence no one gossiped about it.

Mo Xicheng was smart, capable and learned fast.

Li Shu, on the other hand, was pressing Mo Hai to make Mo Zhi hang over his 20 percent of the company’s shares.

And although Mo Zhi would verbally agree, he would also never sign the agreement.

Until one afternoon, when Li Shu didn’t go to the office to bring lunch for her son. She had the butler call Mo Xicheng to inform him she would not be there today.

After being busy all morning, he finally had the chance to relax. This was when he felt something was amiss.

Recently, Li Shu had been so busy thinking of ways to compensate her son that everything else had been put on hold.

Could something have happened to her, since she had suddenly canceled?

Just as he was wondering about this, his secretary suddenly dashed in and yelled, “CEO Mo, something has happened!”

Mo Xicheng paused and his eyes clouded over. He said, “Don’t panic. What happened?”

The secretary quickly took out her cell phone and held it out to the man.

He looked at the screen. There was a newspaper headline: [Young Master of a certain family attempts suicide in rented apartment]

It was a dramatic news report, accompanied by a self-harm picture of Mo Zhi with a slashed wrist.

He looked dispirited and there was a thick bandage around his wrist as he was being lifted into an ambulance.

The report, written with much sympathy for the victim, gave an account of his background, putting all the blame on Yao Lili and making Mo Zhi seem like an innocent victim.

Although it was easy to sympathize with Mo Xicheng, he had benefited a lot from what had happened and was now the heir of the Mo family.

Mo Zhi, on the other hand, had been living the life of an heir, but now had become a penniless and homeless good-for-nothing.

[Must a child pay for a mother’s mistake? The child is the most innocent victim behind this baby swap].

Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank when he read this.
