Chapter 1450: He Is My Son (23)
The sound of the slap rang sharp and clear, everyone turned to look.
Mo Hai glared at Yao Lili furiously, looking as though he was going to eat her alive.
Yao Lili looked at him, shocked, and clutched her face with her hands. She hadn’t thought that Mo Hai would actually hit her.
She gulped as she felt her cheek burn in pain.
She raised her hand to her cheek.
She stared at Mo Hai and asked, “Why- why did you hit me?”
Mo Hai gave her a murderous stare and said, “I warned you when you left to never return again, but you’ve disobeyed!”
Yao Lili’s eyes reddened and she said with much grievance, “It was Madam who said I could come home with her. She said she no longer minded and we could all stay together. I—”
“So just because she said you could come, you went ahead? You tr*mp! We don’t welcome you here, get out!”
Yao Lili bit her lip as she took these devastating words in.
Even though she had known that Mo Hai did not like her and had his heart set on Li Shu, it was still painful to witness with her own eyes the difference in how he treated the both of them.
She frowned and lowered her head. “It was Madam who allowed me to come back here. Did she agree with you telling me to leave?”
At these words, Mo Hai suddenly understood.
Indeed.
It was Li Shu who had asked her to come to their home.
Li Shu would surely be angry if he kicked her out.
But having her around… His own discomfort aside, Li Shu wouldn’t be happy either. Hadn’t she even just declined eating dinner?
Mo Hai’s expression darkened at the thought of this. Then he said, “Fine, stay if you wish. We’ll get the butler to prepare a room.”
After saying this, he walked over to the dining table and looked at the spread. Having lost his appetite, he went upstairs.
As Yao Lili stood there, she could hear the people around whispering and pointing at her. She swallowed her anger.
Taking in a deep breath, she told herself, “Don’t be impatient, it will be a matter of time until I have a position in the household. One day, I’ll become the lady of the household.”
–
Elsewhere. After Yao Lili and Li Shu left, Shi Nianyao turned to look at Mo Xicheng.
She could sense how desolate he was. She walked over to him and put her arms around him from behind.
He lowered his head and held her hands, which were interlocked in front of his waist. He took a deep breath as Shi Nianyao said, “Don’t fret. I’m here and I’ll never leave you.”
Mo Xicheng paused at her sensitive remark and the corners of his mouth turned upwards at once.
That was right, he had known what Yao Lili was like from the start. What was there to be upset about?
At this thought, he pushed all the negativity to the back of his mind. Shi Nianyao added, “My idol, don’t be gloomy. Tell me, what do I need to do to make you happy?”
Mo Xicheng’s eyes darkened at those words.
He did not show that he had already cheered up and suppressed his smile. Then he glanced at the woman out of the corner of his eye and said in a crafty and mysterious tone, “Will you do anything?”
“Uh huh. If it cheers you up, I’ll do anything!”
