Chapter 1592 - Mo Xicheng Reinstated (65)

Mo Xicheng was surprised as he looked at the little box. Then he gave her a questioning look.

Li Shu looked back at him encouragingly.

He raised an eyebrow and looked down again at the box with a puzzled expression. He opened the box and saw a credit card inside.

His pupils shrank back and, when he looked up again, it was with an even more puzzled expression.

Li Shu said after a long pause, “There’s about 50 million here. It was my wedding dowry and my earnings from all these years.”

When Mo Xicheng heard this, he was immediately anxious and tried to return the box to her.

Li Shu said, “Take this first to attend to the urgent matters. See if you’re able to solve the company’s financial issues. I know that this money won’t be enough, but it’s better than nothing.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mo Xicheng was stunned and asked, “But what about your own future?”

Li Shu laughed instantly and replied, “I’m still Mo Hai’s wife, are you afraid that I won’t have enough money to spend? I will never agree to selling the house. The property prices in Beijing are still fluctuating a lot and that land is a valuable asset that is quite priceless. If we sell it now to meet urgent needs with the thought of buying it later, I’m afraid we won’t be able to, even if we double the price. So unless we are at a dead end, we must not sell that house. I have another property in Beijing and I’ve already contacted an agent to take a look at it. I can earn 50 million with that, but the money will not come in immediately.”

Mo Xicheng looked at Li Shu intently.

For the first time, he felt the love and caring of a mother.

The difference between Li Shu and Yao Lili was vast, his heart was ablaze.

He lowered his head and looked at the credit card for a moment. He said to her, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll sort out the problems in the company.”

Lishu nodded.

He added, “I’ll use this money for now and will return it to you later on.”

Li Shu smiled and replied, “I’m your mother. What’s mine is also yours. There’s no need to return anything.”

What’s mine is also yours.

In the past, Mo Xicheng had only ever heard Yao Lili say, “Whatever’s yours is mine.” He had never thought that his mother’s possessions could be his too.

The corners of his mouth curved up. For the first time, he smiled.

Li Shu looked at him and couldn’t help asking, “Xicheng, I have a question to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Have you... ever hated me?”

The man was taken aback for a moment and said, “Of course not.”

Li Shu was surprised by the answer.

Mo Xicheng said after a long pause, “Actually, when I was a child, among everyone in this house, you were the kindest to me. Although you always had a cold expression with me, I remember one time when I was hungry and sneaked into the kitchen to steal a piece of jujube cake, that you caught me in the act then. I thought I was going to be beaten, but you actually did nothing.”

Li Shu suffered upon hearing these words.

Here she was, afraid that Mo Xicheng would not forgive her, but in reality he had never resented her at all.

She was overjoyed at this thought but following this, she was stunned again.

In all honesty, it hadn’t been that she was being kind to him, she simply had not told on him. But he had seen this as an act of kindness and had never forgotten it. It only showed how nasty Yao Lili had been with him.

Li Shu’s expression turned determined.

They couldn’t blame her for being cold-hearted with Mo Zhi now, for Yao Lili had treated Mo Xicheng ten thousand times worse than this.

Hence, she would not feel any guilt for being cold and heartless towards Mo Zhi.
