Chapter 1589: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (62)
Mo Hai was stunned by Li Shu’s dominance. He stammered, “But- but how are we going to get so much money without selling the house?”
Li Shu continued with a scornful laugh. “I do not know. I only know that whatever belongs to my son must not be touched! As to where that money is going to come from, Mo Zhi was the one who signed the contract with the construction team after all. Although Mo Xicheng was the one who signed the contract with Director Wang, when the time comes and the company doesn’t have the funds, then someone has to take the responsibility. Gao Feng told me a few times that Mo Zhi was using the company funds for personal use. This could put him in jail! If we have no other way out of this, we will have to file a lawsuit against him!”
Mo Hai was stunned by Li Shu’s harsh words.
He looked at her with a shocked expression and said, “Li Shu, Mo Zhi is my son if nothing else. You—”
“But I have only one son,” Li Shu interrupted him with this simple remark.
Mo Hai was already full of anger about Mo Zhi’s matter, so now he could no longer contain his fury. He asked, “So what do you want now? Bring him to a dead end?! Would it benefit anyone if he really died?! I know the both of you are angry at him, but we’ve come to this, we’ve made him end up in the hospital, is that not enough?!”
Li Shu widened her eyes. She was at once dumbfounded and livid. “We’ve made him attempt suicide? Did we force him?! That was him being foolish! Mo Hai, let me tell you this, going by the law, he’s the one at fault, not Mo Xicheng or myself!”
The argument got louder gradually.
After Li Shu made this heartrending remark, Mo Hai said in response, “Li Shu, there’s something I’ve wanted to say for a long time!”
Narrowing her eyes, Li Shu said, “Go ahead.”
“Li Shu, you’ve changed. Approximately twenty years ago, how did you treat Mo Xicheng? Now why can’t you accommodate Mo Zhi, who you’ve raised and watched grow up?! Even if he’s not your own son, do you really not care about him?”
At this point, all the years of effort and hard work that he had put into winning back Li Shu turned into deep-seated grievance.
He looked at the woman and continued, “Back then I was confused and what I did resulted in what we’ve become today. But think about it. All this time, have you ever put your heart into this child? Have you ever treated him like your own child?!”
“Li Shu, in the past, you were always known for being an understanding and reasonable person. How did you become this cold-blooded?”
Cold-blooded.
Li Shu froze the moment she heard these words.
She stood there, as though she had been electrocuted.
Then she looked at Mo Hai in disbelief.
When Mo Hai had this affair, she had taken it all in her stride. She had stifled her emotions no matter how sad and heartbroken she had felt. She had never argued with him the way they were arguing now.
The both of them were flushed from the argument, yet all Li Shu could feel was how hideous a man Mo Hai was.
She clenched her fists tightly as she glared at him, speechless from anger. Suddenly, a strong hand reached out to bring closer her trembling body and supported her by her arm. It was like a pillar of strength for her.
She was taken aback. Turning her head around, she saw that Mo Xicheng was standing next to her. As she took in his tall and broad frame, her heart immediately calmed down.
He was like a tonic for her heart, relieving her grief and indignation.
