Chapter 1553: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (26)
At the time, Mo Xicheng had been a child and he hadn’t understood why.
He only remembered the incident and, eventually, he automatically sealed it in his memory.
He also remembered a few times he had seen Yao Lili staring at Mo Zhi in a daze. Whenever Mo Zhi called Li Shu “mom”, she would unconsciously reply, “Aah…”
Every time he saw this happening, he would call out to her, “Mom.” She would push him aside disdainfully and rebuke him, “Bastard, don’t call me mom!”
…
These scenes from the past flashed through his mind one at a time.
He narrowed his eyes now as he stood there.
He thought again of Li Shu’s unfathomable expression as she had looked at him earlier on. He thought of how she had gotetn Gao Feng to help him, and all the recent happenings.
Something suddenly clicked in his mind.
But he suppressed that thought forcefully.
It wasn’t possible.
How could that be possible?
It was too dramatic.
There was no possibility of that.
He lowered his gaze and tried to push the thought out of his mind. But it wouldn’t go away. It started to move further along that direction.
As he stood there in a daze, he heard Shi Nianyao’s voice. “Mo Xicheng!”
Looking up, he saw her rushing towards him. The moment she reached his side, she took his hand. Still panting from trying to get to him as fast as she could, she said, “Mo Xicheng, those idiots on the internet are too much! Don’t read the comments anymore. Come with me. Let’s go home and rest.”
Shi Nianyao looked at him with an anxious expression, as though afraid that he was badly affected by the news. But she realized that, apart from looking a little tired, he didn’t seem to be reacting much. She was relieved to see that.
And when Mo Xicheng saw her, he suddenly felt his spirits lift.
He took her hand and led her into his office. He asked after shutting the door behind them, “Why are you here?”
Shi Nianyao studied him carefully. Seeing that he seemed to be alright, she replied, “I was worried about you.”
“I’m ok.” Mo Xicheng walked over to the side and poured her a glass of water. Holding the glass out to her, he said, “Here, drink some. Your lips are dry.”
Shi Nianyao took the glass from him and glanced at him again, “You’re really fine?”
Mo Xicheng laughed and replied, “Really fine. Do you think I can be defeated by such a small matter?”
She immediately bit her lip and added, “But when I saw the news, I was totally stunned. Your mom… she’s too much!”
Lowering his gaze, he nodded.
She was compelled to ask, “Didn’t you guys sort things out? Why did this suddenly happen? It was completely unexpected and took me by surprise. What do we do now?”
He reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. This matter can be solved. There are always ups and downs in the entertainment circle and we have the ability to deal with public relations. The most logical way of dealing with this is to let it die down a little. Let the fact sink in and give people an opportunity to accept my status. And I will also hold a press conference to make a public confession and recognize it.”
Shi Nianyao’s eyes reddened when she heard this.
It was easy enough for someone to say that he would face it himself squarely, but how many people could actually do that?
He knew that the consequences of him facing it would be that, from that moment, this would be a dark period in his life.
