Chapter 1481: He Is My Son (54)

After she parted ways with Si Jingyu, Li Shu headed home with reddened eyes.

The moment she walked into the house, both Mo Hai and Mo Zhi hurriedly came up to greet her.

Seeing her bloodshot eyes, Mo Hai was instantly angered and said, “She made things difficult for you? Isn’t she our best friend? Why can’t she come to meet me? Why must she insist on meeting with you alone? Even if we, the Mo family, went broke, we will not bow to her!”

Upon hearing these protective words, Li Shu looked up and glanced at Mo Hai.

She had been frustrated over the children’s matter and now, as she cast her gaze on Mo Hai and noticed how his hair had grayed, she suddenly felt that the things that had mattered to her all her life, the things that she had insisted on, were now all unimportant.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Both Mo Hai and Mo Zhi had known that she was meeting Si Jingyu today. Mo Zhi was terribly worried that the Shi family would take action against him to retaliate, hence he had been home all day.

When he heard what Mo Hai had said, he nervously asked, “Mom, did they say what they were going to do to me? I- I really am sorry. I’m even willing to go to their house to apologize personally. Mom, what did you achieve with your conversation?”

Li Shu threw Mo Zhi a look upon hearing this.

This child had always only worried about himself, why hadn’t she realized that and seen his true colors from a long time ago?

She cast her gaze down and said calmly after a moment, “Si Jingyu has agreed to let you off this time.”

Mo Zhi immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Mo Hai looked at Li Shu with a pained expression.

Li Shu had been doted on and protected since childhood. And because she was very well-read, she seemed haughtier than most people. But having to actually plead with her long-time best friend, how could he not feel her pain?

Mo Hai quickly asked, “What conditions did she give?”

The moment he said that, Mo Zhi jumped and said, “You mean there are conditions?”

Li Shu glanced at Mo Zhi impassively, then looked at Mo Hai and said, “The condition is to get Mo Xicheng into the family business as soon as possible.”

Although the company shares and office duties had been handed over to Mo Xicheng, neither Mo Hai nor Mo Zhi had really invited him into the office.

Mo Xicheng, on the other hand, was still in the midst of recovering from his concussion and, since he had had to prepare for Ambition’s party, he had not reported in for work.

Hence, Li Shu’s request seemed reasonable.

Mo Zhi was not happy to hear that, of course, and said, “On what grounds? If that illegitimate son comes to the office to work, what will all my colleagues think of me? Isn’t it good enough that he has been given shares?”

This was certainly not the first time Mo Zhi used the term “illegitimate son.” Every time he used that term, Li Shu would chide him for saying nasty things about others and, in the process, lowering his dignity.

But right now, those same words caused her own heart to bleed in pain.

She turned pale at once.

Noticing this, Mo Hai quickly scolded the boy, “What nonsense are you speaking? Alright, alright, let him come to the office. We’ll get him to come to the office tomorrow.”

Then he turned to Li Shu nervously and said, “Li Shu, get a good rest. I’ll take care of the office matters. Don’t fret, don’t get angry.”

Upon hearing this, Li Shu nodded and looked at Mo Zhi again. She lowered her gaze to hide her deep intentions and slowly walked up the stairs.

The moment Li Shu had gone upstairs, Mo Zhi grabbed his father’s arm and cried, “Dad, that bastard is coming to the office, what about me then?!”
