Chapter 1009: My Turn on The Stage (4)

Suggesting that he went to work for the family business really meant that they were giving him an opportunity.

If he proved himself to be capable, then the successor of the Mo family could very well end up being him.

After all, he was his father’s son.

Mo Zhi had been too outrageous. If they were to hand him the lead of the Mo family, at some point he would bring it to total destruction.

When he heard this, he understood at once why Mo Zhi had come here..

But why was Yao Lili here as well?

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yao Lili. “But Mom, what brought you here?”

Yao Lili said without beating around the bush, “I’m here to warn you not to accept it. If anyone from the Mo family comes to talk to you, you won’t agree. If you dare to fight your elder brother for the inheritance, I’ll kill myself in front of you! I can’t do something this embarra.s.sing.”

But on the other hand, being someone’s mistress wasn’t embarra.s.sing?

This Yao Lili was a truly despicable woman.

As Qiao Lian thought this, s.h.i.+ Nianyao took a step forward to stand between Yao Lili and Mo Xicheng. She said to Yao Lili, “Auntie, you—”

Before she could continue, Yao Lili suddenly raised her arm to deliver a slap across s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s face. “You t*amp, you dare to appear before me?”

Crack!

The crisp and clear sound of the slap resounded throughout the room.

Everyone was shocked into silence.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao widened her eyes and stared at the woman before her in disbelief. Then she turned and her gaze fell on Mo Xicheng’s face. She called him weakly, “Mo Xicheng.”

Yao Lili’s slap had been aimed at s.h.i.+ Nianyao.

But at the last moment, Mo Xicheng had grabbed s.h.i.+ Nianyao.

His face got right in the path of Yao Lili’s raised hand. She could have stopped herself, but she had not.

Not only did she deliver that slap, she had made it double as hard.

Having been slapped twice now, even his makeup could no longer cover the angry red swelling that was appearing. Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes.

He could now even sense that dull metallic taste of fresh blood in his mouth.

He hung his head for a moment, before looking up again at Yao Lili.

Yao Lili pointed her finger at s.h.i.+ Nianyao and started rebuking the girl, “It was her, she seduced your elder brother. One look and I can tell she’s nothing good. Fooling around with the two of you just because she has a pretty face. She’s just trying to sow seeds of discord between you and your elder brother!”

She s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Mo Xicheng and continued, “That your elder brother was interested in her is her good fortune! But she acted as though she’s pure and chaste. Mo Xicheng, I’m warning you, a girl like this… it’s fine if you’re just fooling around, but I’ll never agree to a marriage.”

Her cutting remarks were sharp and determined.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao was stunned.

No one in the room had expected this situation.

They all looked at Yao Lili in disbelief.

No matter how much Qiao Lian tried to think around this, she could not understand how this woman’s brain was wired.

Her own son’s girlfriend had been hara.s.sed by Mo Zhi, but instead of feeling insulted, she was here scolding Nianyao for having a pretty face?

This was completely ridiculous.

She pursed her lips and was going to speak up, when she felt Shen Liangchuan’s hand tighten around her shoulder.

She turned back to look at him and saw him shaking his head subtly.

She fell silent.

Indeed.

This was Mo Xicheng’s family business. She was an outsider and shouldn’t intervene.

Mo Xicheng, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman. He laughed bitterly after a pause and said, “You’re worrying too soon. Nianyao may not even want to marry me.”
