Mo Xicheng observed coldly the exchange between Xiao Chen and the attending doctor. Then the doctor led them to the standard ward.
Before the doctor left, he said, “I don’t think there are any major issues in the patient’s health, so she can get her discharged.”
Yao Lili insisted, on the other hand, “I have giddy spells though. I don’t think I can cope with it. I want to stay for a few days to be observed.”
The doctor could only relent, “Well, sure. We’ll find you a ward so that you can be kept under observation.”
After Yao Lili was pushed into the ward, Mo Xicheng followed them.
Yao Lili lay back on the hospital bed, making whimpering noises to show her discomfort.
Xiao Chen ran in and out busily, ensuring that they had everything they needed in the ward. After this, he went to settle the bill.
Now, there were only Mo Xicheng and Yao Lili in the ward.
Yao Lili said as she massaged her head, “Xicheng, since you’re not that busy lately, you should stay and look after me during this period that I’m hospitalized.”
Mo Xicheng looked at Yao Lili and couldn’t help but give a frosty smirk.
He cast his gaze down and said after a long pause, “I’m doing a publicity event that the company is organizing.”
Yao Lili’s head jerked up to look at him when she heard those words. “What? What publicity event?! Don’t you know that with your status, you need to keep a low profile? If you get involved in these publicity activities and people discover your identity, what then? Huh? Have you ever thought about that?”
Mo Xicheng looked at her in cold silence.
He had always felt that his mother never really liked him.
But that feeling had never been as strong as today. Yao Lili did not like him one bit.
She had no wish to see him doing well.
Mo Xicheng stared at her and laughed icily after a moment, reminding her, “Wasn’t it your idea that I entered show business?”
He had studied management and finance in university.
Because it had been at a renowned faculty, it wouldn’t have been difficult for him to secure a decent job after he graduated.
He could still remember that day clearly, he had gone home with his suitcases in tow. Yao Lili had pointed at a person next to her and had said to Mo Xicheng, “This is Director XXX, he is a talent scout and wants to recruit you. He’d like you to try acting.”
Mo Xicheng was caught off guard and said, “But I—”
“No buts. I’ve lived with the Mo Family since I was a youth and I’ve gotten used to a certain lifestyle. If you look for a proper job, at most you might earn a million a year. And how many purses would that get me? Xicheng, you have to help your mother. There’s nothing bad about being an actor.”
Hence, Mo Xicheng entered show business.
He was too lonely and too much of a loner who spent all his time learning and working. Hence as an actor, his skills improved rapidly. As a supporting actor in his debut movie, people were already betting on his success.
At the time, all they would have needed to do was to give things a little push, and his popularity would have sky-rocketed. He would have become the most popular young actor.
But Yao Lili had suppressed him, saying, “Our status is special, we can’t expose ourselves too much. If you’re too popular, it will invite questions about your background and identity. Are you willing to be pointed at and have people say you’re the Mo family’s illegitimate son?
At that time, fame had not mattered to him. He had only felt that acting was quite fun and hence, he agreed.
