Chapter 1098: So She Is Mo Xicheng’s Girlfriend (14)
With Mo Zhi and Dad Mo, Li Shu got into the car.
Just as they were about to drive away, Si Jingyu suddenly spoke, “Today is Yao Yao’s birthday. Some of the children have gone out together to have fun, Mo Xicheng is with them.”
Li Shu halted when she heard these words.
She turned around to look at Si Jingyu, pursed her lips and nodded.
As the car drove away, Mo Zhi frowned and said, “Mom, Auntie Si Jingyu said just that they’ve gone out with friends to have fun. Those friends… was she referring to Si Mubei, Xiao Munan and the rest?”
Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting had twin boys.
The older one, Si Mubei, had inherited the Si family estate.
Xiao Munan, on the other hand, had inherited his maternal grandmother’s flourishing family business.
Both were huge enterprises, making them almost Beijing city’s rulers.
Li Shu frowned upon hearing this. She turned, looked at him and said, “If I’m not mistaken, besides them, there should also be Su Penghao, Liu Zuojian and others.”
Mo Zhi’s eyes lit up at once.
“These are all well-known people of our generation! Especially Brother Munan. He’s like the leader of the pack. If you’re on good terms with him, you have nothing to fear in the business world.”
Dad Mo smacked his son’s head at these words and said, “Did you only just realize this? Now do you know why I wanted you to marry the daughter of the Shi family? It’s not only the Shi family’s resources that we want, it’s also the Si family’s friends. Si Jingyu is Si Mubei and Xiao Munan’s aunt, and they’re probably on good terms with Shi Nianyao. If you can get into their circle, your future would be most promising.”
By now, Mo Zhi was so envious and resentful that he had turned green. He looked at his father and demanded, “Dad, such unbelievably good resources, I have to be there.”
Li Shu turned, stared at him icily and said, “And why would you go there? Just to be kicked out? The whole of Beijing is already aware that you’ve gone around slandering the daughter of the Shi family! Mo Zhi, you can forget about this marriage arrangement.”
Mo Zhi immediately panicked and said, “Mom, how could you take sides with that mistress’ son? That little bastard and illegitimate son! Do you know that before this, when he had nothing, he was already stepping all over me? Now that he has all of these resources, he’ll surely try to fight me for the family business. Mom, can you bear to see me give the Mo family business to that illegitimate son?”
“No way!” Dad Mo interjected before Li Shu could get a word in. “Our family business has to go to you! Only your mother’s child is my son. That boy is not my son!”
Dad Mo was resolute, to Mo Zhi’s relief.
Li Shu had fallen silent all of a sudden.
Logic told her that Mo Zhi was right.
She had to make the marriage happen somehow. Otherwise, Mo Zhi may lose his hold over the Mo family enterprise.
If Shi Nianyao could potentially support him, perhaps Mo Xicheng may not immediately have intentions to fight Mo Zhi for the family business, but who could say this wouldn’t happen at some point in the future?
But her emotions told her… She actually did hope that the boy found happiness.
Honestly, she found her husband’s mistress Yao Lili to be annoying all the time. Even the thought of the woman having bore Dad Mo’s child infuriated her to no end.
But whenever she saw Mo Xicheng and noticed the melancholy in his eyes, her heart would ache for him somewhat.
