Chapter 1588: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (61)

The three of them walked out of the ward. Mo Hai shut the door behind them and pointed at the balcony.

Li Shu narrowed her eyes at his considerate gesture towards Mo Zhi.

On the balcony.

Mo Hai lit his cigarette and took a deep puff.

For a moment, the three of them stood there in silence.

They looked at each other till Mo Hai finished his cigarette. Neither Mo Xicheng nor Li Shu wanted to be the first to speak.

Mo Hai looked at Mo Xicheng and found himself developing a trace of admiration for this young man.

He was adequately steady.

He coughed softly and began, “Regarding Mo Zhi, I think I should hear what both your thoughts are.”

Mo Xicheng kept silent.

Li Shu, who had always been a calm person, was immediately furious. She demanded, “Mo Hai, what did you mean by that?! Do you really believe what Mo Zhi has said?! You think that Mo Xicheng has asked Li Tianyu to target Mo Zhi?!”

If Mo Hai had misunderstood Li Shu herself, she wouldn’t have been this angry. But right now, it was her son who was being misunderstood and she was less tolerant.

The moment she got worked up, Mo Hai became nervous and quickly said, “No, that’s not what I meant. Li Shu, calm down. Will you let me explain?!”

Li Shu took a deep breath and said, “Go ahead.”

Mo Hai continued, “Mo Zhi is truly incapable of survival by himself. Can I just take him home? He will live in the apartment that Yao Lili and Mo Xicheng used to live in. I will also not give him too much money in the future. Also, by doing this we can watch him closely and Mo Xicheng doesn’t have to worry, isn’t that right?”

Upon hearing these words, Lishu choked with anger.

She looked at Mo Hai with disappointment and gave the man a mocking smile. “Do whatever you want.”

Mo Hai’s heart immediately leaped with joy, however, Li Shu continued, “If he wishes to stay under our roof, sure, he just has to do what Mo Xicheng did. Show his sincerity and convince me that he has no interest in the family business, otherwise…”

Mo Hai asked eagerly, “And how should he show his sincerity?”

Li Shu narrowed her eyes and replied, “He stole all of the company’s circulating capital, putting Mo Xicheng in a difficult position now. He has to compensate for the loss.”

Mo Hai widened his eyes and said, “He’s poor now, how is he going to compensate?!”

Li Shu laughed icily and remarked, “Didn’t he buy shares?”

Looking troubled, Mo Hai answered, “Recently, the share price dropped to three dollars. He would lose too much, two-thirds of the original price. Sigh!”

Li Shu cast her gaze down and said with an eerie calmness, “The company doesn’t have any circulating capital now and the stakeholders are not happy about it. Besides, we’re nearing the end of the month now and the workers have not been paid. If they turn up protesting with their banners, I’d like to see you explain the situation to the government! On top of this, Director w.a.n.g expects his funds by the end of the month. If we don’t transfer that money to him, then the company will have to bear an even larger penalty for breach of contract. These are all the problems that need income, go sort them out!”

Mo Hai turned a deep scarlet as she called him to account.

He cleared his throat and then replied, “I- I did say we could sell the house to get the money, didn’t I?”

The woman narrowed her eyes as her head snapped up. “Sell the house? Whose house do you think you’re selling? That’s our joint a.s.set as husband and wife. Have I agreed to sell the house?”
