Chapter 1008: My Turn on The Stage (3)
Not to mention Qiao Lian, even Shen Liangchuan was stunned.
Everyone turned simultaneously to look at the doorway. There stood an expensively-dressed woman.
With her mink coat, she looked every inch a wealthy Tai tai[1]. Although she was pretty, she obviously lacked subtlety and there was a coquettish air about her. Her tackiness was close to nauseating.
There was more white than black in her huge eyes, which were looking rather fierce.
She stood near the doorway glaring at Mo Xicheng, oblivious to the presence of others in the room. Then she started to rebuke him, “Mo Xicheng! I’ve said it before, you are not to covet what belongs to your elder brother. Have you not taken what I said to heart?”
Qiao Lian furrowed her brow and shifted her gaze into Shi Nianyao, who was now wide-eyed in shock.
Mo Xicheng was still spinning from the slap.
He hadn’t thought she would go this far to embarrass him in public.
But unexpectedly…
Especially, because she had done it in Shi Nianyao’s presence.
His expression darkened as he clenched his fists tightly and stared at the woman.
After a moment, he called, “Mom.”
“Don’t call me Mom! I have no such son. I already feel so guilty for Elder Sister and here you go, fabricating stories about Mo Zhi! Are you doing this on purpose? Spreading rumors on the internet about him harassing an actress at the filming location? Are you happy now that his reputation has gone to the dogs? What do you think you’re doing? Are you hoping to inherit the Mo Family’s business?”
Extremely worked up by now, she pointed a finger at Mo Xicheng and continued, “I’m a shameful mistress! I’m hopelessly in love with your father and am incapable of bringing myself to leave him. I’ve already destroyed Elder Sister’s happiness! She’s a kind soul and thanks to her charity, we have lived comfortably and you’ve had a good education. Now have you gotten ambitious? An illegitimate son who covets your elder brother’s inheritance?”
Upon hearing these words, Mo Xicheng finally reacted and asked, “What rumors?”
The woman raised her voice in fury and said, “Pretending, you’re still pretending! When will you stop feigning innocence?”
Mo Xicheng frowned and picked up his cell phone. Immediately, he saw the trending topics on Weibo. The Mo family’s Young Master was harassing an actress!
Immediately, he narrowed his eyes.
This hadn’t even been his doing.
If he were to spread this sort of rumors, it would only expose his identity as an illegitimate son.
He raised his head. “Mom, it wasn’t me—”
“It wasn’t you? You’re the male lead in that crew! You’re the only one in the position to do this. How could it possibly be anyone else?”
On this note, she gave an icy snort and demanded, “No matter what, you have to suppress this matter!”
“Don’t you know, lately your brother—”
It was only at this point that she seemed to develop some awareness and looked around her.
Before this, when she charged in, started berating Mo Xicheng and tightly slapped him, she had been completely oblivious of her surroundings.
Yet now that she was addressing a matter related to Mo Zhi, discretion suddenly became important to her.
What sort of mother was she? If they had not known she was Mo Xicheng’s mother, one would have easily assumed that she was Mo Zhi’s mother.
Mom Mo, also known as Yao Lili, walked further into the room. She frowned when she saw the people around the table. Somewhat apprehensive of Shen Liangchuan, she was more careful with her words now. She said to her son, “One of your elder brother’s projects has suffered big losses and the board now feels that his judgement was wrong, so they’ve suggested that you come work for the family business.”
