Chapter 1094 - So She Is Mo Xicheng’s Girlfriend (10)

Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank back at his words.

But Mo Zhi was already in a discussion with his father, “Dad, you must not regret this. I’m telling you, this deal has to be sealed today! Otherwise, if Mo Xicheng does anything to betray the ugly monster, the Shi family will hold us accountable. And Dad, just to remind you, isn’t our company trying to form strategic ties with the Shi family and join forces with them? You must not soften your heart.”

Dad Mo listened to this with his head lowered. He glanced at Mo Zhi and nodded, “Ok, since there is a crowd here today, we should at least get this out and make it official. We can pave the way for a smoother future like this.”

Mo Zhi immediately nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dad Mo lifted his gaze and glanced at Mo Xicheng. Then he said, “You, come with me!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xicheng hung his head.

It had been like this since he had been a child.

In the eyes of Dad Mo and Mo Zhi, he was less than a human being. He was only an object.

They had never sought his opinions before making any decisions for him.

And they would also not ask him whether he liked it.

Perhaps, Dad Mo had never thought of him as his son?

At this thought, he started walking and followed Dad Mo.

Indeed, they had to seal this before the crowd today.

Then, when Nianyao appeared later, Mo Zhi wouldn’t be able to go back on his word even if he wanted to.

Hence, he might as well beat him at his own game.

Mo Xicheng obediently followed his father as the man made his way through the crowd and went right up to Shi Jinyan, who was entertaining some of the attendees.

Shi Jinyan looked every bit the traditional confucian merchant.

With years of experience behind him, he had grown matured and composed.

Upon hearing a small commotion, he turned around and saw the men who had approached him. His eyes fell on Mo Xicheng at once.

Mo Xicheng couldn’t help but feel all the pressure that was emanating from his heavy gaze.

He held Shi Jinyan’s stare steadily and looked into the man’s eyes.

His manner was neither servile nor overbearing and, in addition, Mo Xicheng had a steady character. Shi Jinyan was pleased with what he saw and a satisfied expression came over his face.

He knew his own daughter well, hence, when she said she liked Mo Xicheng, then it definitely wasn’t because of the man’s good looks. It had to be his character.

It seemed that, at the very least, he didn’t have the furtiveness of an illegitimate son.

One had to understand that many youngsters did not pass his visual assessment.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Dad Mo had already started speaking, “Mr. Shi, although this son of mine has never stood out since he was little, he doesn’t look too bad! He’s a perfect match for your daughter, don’t you think?”

As these words were spoken, Shi Jinyan noted that the people around were already turning their attention to them.

Immediately, he knew what Dad Mo was leading up to. He walked towards Dad Mo and patted Mo Xicheng on the shoulder, saying, “He will surpass us in the time to come.”

These words were a sterling appraisal of the young man.

The people around had started to congratulate them, “Young Master Mo and Ms. Shi, they must be a perfect match!”

“That’s right. Look at Young Master Mo’s presence. We hear that your families are about to become in-laws, when’s the wedding banquet?!”

Dad Mo quickly said, “No hurry, no hurry! We... will have to wait for Mr. Shi to release his daughter.”

The exchanges were extremely joyous.

Seeing this situation, Mo Zhi was most gleeful.

Now that news of the intended marriage was out and everyone knew, he had severed all associations with that ugly monster.

But where was Shi Nianyao?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly heard the emcee speak, “And now, let’s welcome Ms. Shi!”

At these words, every pair of eyes in the crowd lifted, as did the spotlight, and focused on the second floor.

Shortly, a silhouette appeared.

The moment he saw the silhouette, Mo Zhi froze. Wasn’t that... Shi Nianyao?!
