Chapter 1550: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (23)

When he said this, the manager suddenly realized that his other cell phone was still on. At once, he fell silent. After he got over his initial shock, he spoke, “Bro- Brother Mo.”

Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze and said after a pause, “If you get more calls like that, just agree straightaway. Arguing with them only makes you lose your position.”

The manager choked at once and said, “But they are just being too mean. I—”

“If they are willing to bring things to an end amiably, just let it go. But if they get difficult and insist that we compensate, then hire a lawyer and we will fight our case.”

When time came to dig his heels in, Mo Xicheng certainly wasn’t the type to take a soft approach.

The manager nodded and said, “Sure, whatever you say!”

Mo Xicheng laughed and said, “Don’t panic. Everything will pa.s.s.”

The manager paused and then nodded. “True. Everything will pa.s.s. Brother Mo, don’t be too stressed.”

Mo Xicheng nodded.

The manager hesitated and said, “Why don’t you go home for now? After all, it’s not safe there in the office. I’ll get a few men to go over and ensure your safety.”

The other man contemplated it for a moment and said, “Very well, send a few bodyguards over. In times like this, it’s better for me to be home.”

The manager nodded and a.s.sured him, “I’ll send someone over right away.”

After he hung up, Mo Xicheng stayed in the office and contemplated the situation for a while. Then he got onto his feet and was about to walk out of the room when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He lifted his gaze in that direction and saw Li Shu standing at the doorway of his office. She hesitatingly called out, “Mo Xicheng.”

Mo Xicheng was taken aback and looked at her with surprise before he lowered his gaze and nodded at her. Then he continued walking away.

Li Shu saw his gloomy expression and narrowed her eyes.

She stared at him and sighed deeply. Then she said, “Don’t worry, all that talk will be gone. I will make sure that you can live with your head held high!”

Her tone was firm and confident. When Mo Xicheng heard this, he looked up, puzzled.

When he looked at Li Shu standing before him, he couldn’t help but notice that unusual expression on her face. He tried hard to decipher it.

He sensed an anger in this woman that was not unlike his own, and in her, he saw his own tragedy and heroism.

But why?

He narrowed his eyes. For an odd reason, he suddenly remembered how Gao Feng had been helping him at work and the long-standing good relations.h.i.+p he had with Li Shu.

Could it be that Li Shu had asked Gao Feng to look after him?

But even this reason was strange. But now, he would rather believe this than to believe that Li Shu would team up with Gao Feng to punish him.

The muscles around his eyes tense up as he paused for a while. He asked, “Why are you helping me?”

Li Shu bit her lip as her eyes reddened.

She did not take her eyes off him. She knew this was the time to tell the truth.

She must not wait any longer. She had to tell him herself, tell Mo Xicheng the truth.

She had to free her son from living in this darkness, so that he could come out into the light and live with his head held up high.
