Chapter 1444: He Is My Son (17)

The three people in the room stared at Li Shu, shocked at how things had changed so quickly.

Shi Nianyao stood by the side, her gaze shifting from one person to another.

Suddenly, she saw the light.

Li Shu was out to please her idol so that the Shi family would let Mo Zhi off easy. But her idol wasn’t giving her the opportunity. So was now this her way of placating him?

Otherwise, why would she forgive the woman who stole her husband on the condition that she drank chicken soup?

This excuse was too obvious.

On the other end, Yao Lili also felt that the situation had turned around too quickly.

But she was a smart woman. After some thinking, she believed she had it figured out.

Li Shu probably hoped that Mo Xicheng would help cover up what Mo Zhi had done to Shi Nianyao. That had to be why she was giving her leeway.

What a useless woman!

She didn’t know how else to defend her child, so trying to placate others was the only thing she could do to try to save her son.

Mo Zhi hadn’t even succeeded in taking advantage of Shi Nianyao, like he wanted to, had he?

And Shi Nianyao had gotten away unscathed, hadn’t she?

All Li Shu needed to do was get down on her knees and plead with Si Jingyu, cry a few times. Yao Lili didn’t believe for a moment that the Shi family would really be ruthless towards Mo Zhi in that case.

This woman was simply infuriating.

But Li Shu had said that she was going to forgive her?

If Li Shu forgave her, wouldn’t that mean that she could then openly be acknowledged?

As she contemplated this, Li Shu continued, “I know your affections towards Mo Hai are sincere. It’s been so many years and I haven’t been able to let him go. But we are old. Now the three of us are middle-aged and don’t have a lot of time left. Thinking about it, didn’t men in the old days have many wives and concubines too? Drink the soup and I will forgive you. Also, I will let you move into the Mo family home. How about that?”

Yao Lili’s eyes lit up at once when she heard those words.

Move into the Mo family home openly and in broad daylight!

The fact was that when Mo Xicheng had been a child, they had been given a small room attached to the Mo family home.

At that time, she had yearned longingly for all the luxury that decked the Mo family home.

The western-style interior, the huge crystal chandelier in the living room, there was nothing in the house that didn’t attract her.

At that time, she had fantasized that one day, she would be able to live in that house as the wife of that household.

Even though later on Mo Xicheng had made enough money to move them into a little villa that he had bought...

Compared to the Mo family home, the difference was still too great.

She could never forget the glittering lights of that crystal chandelier at night. It made the house look as though it was daytime.

She could also not forget that moment she had heard the housekeepers in the Mo family home greet Madam Li Shu so respectfully.

This was why she had worked so hard to position Mo Zhi as the head of the Mo family. Because once Mo Zhi became the head of this household, wouldn’t she, Yao Lili, automatically become the lady of the household?

What Li Shu was saying now was that, if she drank this bowl of chicken soup, then she would be able to move into the house of her dreams?

She widened her eyes. Had she made this promise because of the compromise that she was hoping to reach with Mo Xicheng?

Her gaze fell on the bowl of chicken soup.

Without thinking twice, she walked over and picked up the bowl. Raising it to her mouth, she tilted her head back and drank a sip.

The boiling hot chicken soup had been poured into a high quality thermos when it had been fresh off the stove. Even though a few hours had passed, it was still scalding hot, especially with that layer of oil floating above the light stock.
