Chapter 1591: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (64)

As long as Mo Xicheng was at a disadvantage, he was happy. Even if he himself had nothing!

A look of hatred grew in his eyes as this thought came to him.

–

Mo Xicheng supported the heartbroken Li Shu as they walked out of the ward.

Although she had initially looked utterly disappointed and hopeless because of Mo Hai, Li Shu had been visibly shaken and touched since she had heard Mo Xicheng call her “mom.”

She was grasping Mo Xicheng’s sleeves tightly and looking at him steadily, wis.h.i.+ng he would call her one more time. At the same time, she found making such a request too embarra.s.sing.

Perhaps he had just been trying to comfort her?

As this thought crossed her mind, she immediately shook her head and sighed.

While she struggled with this thought, someone brought Mo Xicheng’s car to where they stood. Mo Xicheng walked to the backseat’s door and opened it for Li Shu, saying, “Get in, Mom.”

Li Shu stood there in a daze.

Ever since Mo Xicheng’s ident.i.ty had been announced, this was the first few times he addressed her as such.

She stared at this tall young man, who had grown to be much more than a boy. She found her eyes tearing up suddenly.

Even though he had recovered his rightful position, she had never dared hope that Mo Xicheng would forgive her. Treating Mo Xicheng well was only something that she could do as his mother, to compensate for the motherly love that he had lacked since childhood.

But now, as he addressed her as his own mother, Li Shu instantly felt an immense joy.

She looked at Mo Xicheng and nodded firmly in acknowledgment.

After getting into the car, Mo Xicheng walked over to the front pa.s.senger seat and entered as well. They headed towards the Mo family villa.

Along the way, Mo Xicheng noticed through the rear view mirror that Li Shu looked as though she was in a daze. Probably, she was still furious about Mo Hai’s misjudgment.

Mo Xicheng couldn’t help interrupting her, “Mom.”

Stunned, Li Shu lifted her head to look at him. He rea.s.sured her, “No matter what your decision is, I will support you.”

The woman was astonished by this remark.

Since she had been a young mother, Mo Zhi would always cling to her legs and ask her, “Mama are you abandoning Daddy and I?”

“Mama, other kids have their Papa and Mama to play with them. Why don’t you and Papa play with me?”

“Mama, don’t be unhappy. I want to be with you and Papa.”

Hence, for Mo Zhi’s sake, she had never successfully divorced Mo Hai.

At this critical point, since Mo Xicheng was in the midst of taking over the Mo family business, she had been tolerating Mo Hai. Yet what was this young man telling her?

That he would support her, no matter the decision she made?

She was stunned.

At the same time, she finally felt a mother-son relations.h.i.+p falling into place, for this was how a son should be towards his own mother.

She pursed her lips tightly as she looked at the young man and nodded.

The car entered the Mo family villa.

Mo Xicheng glanced at the building and then turned around to look at Li Shu. He said to her, “If you wish to leave this place, I can take you away right now.”

Li Shu’s eyes reddened upon hearing those words.

Yes, she wished to leave. But not now. She would leave only after Mo Xicheng had taken everything that was rightfully his.

Li Shu was firm in her conviction. She turned to look at Mo Xicheng and smiled as she said, “Wait here.”

Mo Xicheng nodded and thought that Li Shu was going upstairs to pack her belongings. But to his surprise, she came downstairs again after a short while. There was a little box in her hand. She walked to Mo Xicheng and held the little box out to him.
