Chapter 1073: Two Men Vying For A Lady (5)

s.h.i.+ Nianyao was shocked and looked at her mother, Si Jingyu, as she started, “But—”

“The suitor is the son of your favorite auntie, Li Shu.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao was flabbergasted.

Auntie Li Shu’s son?

Wouldn’t that be Mo Xicheng’s brother, Mo Zhi?

s.h.i.+ Nianyao immediately objected. “I’m not going!”

“Why? Unless you already have a boyfriend, what’s the problem?” Si Jingyu asked.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao shook her head at once and sighed. “Mom, have you ever met Mo Zhi? Do you know what he’s like??”

Si Jingyu was stunned and asked, “You’ve met him? When and where?”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao kept silent.

If she admitted to this, then she would also have to admit to having gone to Hengdian.

Hence she said vaguely, “Do we really need to meet? All my friends say that this Mo Zhi is an idiot.”

Si Jingyu looked at her and shook her head, saying, “You should not just listen to what others are saying, you know? Because you’ve been so well protected, many people in Beijing city say that you must be ugly. We haven’t even met him, how can we know whether he’s good or otherwise?”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao bit her lip and said, “In any case, I’m not going!”

Si Jingyu: …

She sighed and walked over to sit next to s.h.i.+ Nianyao. “And why?”

“Is it because people in the circle are spreading rumors about Mo Zhi minding your looks? That’s because he has never seen you. Besides, it’s not as if it’s a real blind date. I’m upset too, that such rumors about my daughter are going around. Let’s just go and meet them so that they can see that you’re not ugly!”

“Alright, we’ll do just that. Just a meal. As for the rest, Mom won’t force you. We’ll leave it to fate.”

–

On the other end, at the Mo Family’s.

“I’m not going, I’m not going!” Mo Zhi stamped his feet and threw a tantrum. Glaring at his father, he said, “I’m not going to see that ugly monster.”

Dad Mo sighed and replied, “The board members have a very bad impression of you right now. If you can have a relations.h.i.+p with Ms. s.h.i.+, you will have s.h.i.+ Xun to help look out for you where the business is concerned. Then at least our family business won’t suffer a loss in your hands!”

Mo Zhi was greatly angered to hear this. “Dad, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m not capable of managing this business well? Are you saying I’m stupid? And that your illegitimate son is better? Then why don’t you just get him to marry that woman in the Mo family?”

When Dad Mo heard this, he became anxious and chided him, “What is this you’re saying? Ignoring the fact that he doesn’t have those intentions, just based on the fact that he’s an illegitimate son, I will not hand the Mo family over to him! It was my carelessness at that time. Besides, I’ve met Mr. and Mrs. Mo, and both of them are quite good-looking. Their daughter won’t turn out too bad. It’s just a blind date, just go and meet her.”

“I will not go!” Mo Zhi gave a loud snort.

Shortly after, with a sudden roll of his eyes, he spun around and looked at his father. He added, “Dad, since the s.h.i.+ family is so great, why don’t you make Mo Xicheng marry the girl? Didn’t the Li family’s girl end up regretting it?”

Dad Mo immediately slapped Mo Zhi’s head. “Are you stupid? If Mo Xicheng married the s.h.i.+ family’s daughter, how are you going to sit securely as the head of the Mo family? I’d say that if he likes that commoner girl, then let him have her! Without a leverage, he’ll never be able to match up to you in all his life. You have to remember, I will only hand over the Mo family to the children of your mother and I.”
