Since childhood, he had been a docile person. This was the first time he retaliated so violently, and it shocked everyone present.
Yao Lili was frightened out of her wits and started trembling, while Mo Zhi had retreated several steps to hide behind his father.
Looking at Mo Zhi, Li Shu’s expression of disappointment had grown even more obvious now.
Looking grave and gloomy, Dad Mo raised his voice, “Mo Xicheng, what are you doing? You’re going to fight back?!”
Mo Xicheng did not look at any one of them and stared only at the broken cell phone on the floor. He spoke unhurriedly, “Our family affairs have got nothing to do with Shi Nianyao.”
Having said this, he lifted his gaze and gave a warning look at Yao Lili. After a pause, he curled his lips and continued, “If find out that you’ve called Nianyao’s family and spoken nonsense, don’t blame me for not respecting our mother-and-son relationship!”
Yao Lili was now shaking with anger. Like a vixen, she took a step towards her son and said, “Mo Xicheng! What do you mean by that!?”
“I’m telling you, I gave birth to you! I gave birth to you and brought you up. Is that how you demonstrate your filial piety? What can you do? Hit me?!”
Mo Xicheng moved his lips and wanted to speak, but right at this point, a clear and crisp voice shouted, “Enough!”
Everyone was stunned and looked up at Li Shu.
She looked at them with exhaustion and pointed at the doorway. She simply said, “Get out.”
Yao Lili frowned as resentment flashed across her eyes. Looking at Dad Mo, she saw that he was looking back at her and Mo Xicheng in fright, saying, “Why aren’t you getting out of here?! Get out! Get out! Get out!”
Mo Zhi, on the other hand, started, “Mom, about Shi Nianyao’s matter—”
“I said get out! All of you out!”
Li Shu shouted, giving Mo Zhi a fright.
He immediately fell silent, while Dad Mo took a step forward and said, “Li Shu, you—”
“Get out!”
Dad Mo could only step back and say hurriedly, “Ok, don’t be angry. I’ll leave. I’ll leave.”
Everyone started to walk towards the door. As they approached the doorway, they heard Li Shu call out, “Mo Xicheng.”
Mo Xicheng halted and turned his head around.
He noticed that all of a sudden, she seemed to have aged ten years.
Carrying that disappointment, she also seemed to be at a loss.
She looked at him and reminded, “I hope you will always remember what you promised me.”
He narrowed his eyes and said after a moment, “As long as it doesn’t cross the line, I will not leave the Mo family alone.”
Li Shu nodded and then looked at Dad Mo and Mo Zhi, saying, “You will leave this matter right now!”
Having said this, she ignored Mo Zhi and headed upstairs.
–
Walking out of the Mo family villa, Mo Xicheng got into his car at once and drove away, completely ignoring Yao Lili.
Dad Mo’s gaze followed the car that had left so abruptly and gave a deep sigh.
Mo Zhi, on the other hand, shot a look at Yao Lili. He gave her an eye signal and said, “Let me take you home.”
Yao Lili immediately looked elated.
Dad Mo wanted to stop him, but he had already started his car engine and Yao Lili had quickly scrambled into the vehicle.
But as Dad Mo was also preoccupied with how to cheer Li Shu up, he did not bother too much about those two.
The car was started, rolled down the driveway and left the Mo family villa. After it had traveled some distance, it pulled to a stop by the roadside.
Mo Zhi turned around and looked at Yao Lili, who was in the front passenger seat. “You told me once that you are my real mother, but I never believed it. Now, this is your chance to prove your claim!”
Yao Lili’s eyes immediately lit up.
