At this point, Mo Zhi hung his head shamefully and covered his eyes.
He wailed, “The club has been coming after me for money these few days! I- I really am at a dead end. Dad, I know I was a rotten egg, but now I really don’t want to take anything from Mo Xicheng! So why is he turning Li Tianyu against me?”
Li Tianyu and Shen Liangchuan were on extremely good terms. His father had married Shen Liangchuan’s mother.
Hence, Li Tianyu and Shen Liangchuan had become in-laws. On the other hand, it was also a well-known fact that Shen Liangchuan and Mo Xicheng were good friends.
With the mention of Li Tianyu, all arrows naturally pointed to Mo Xicheng.
Standing just outside the door, Mo Xicheng raised an eyebrow.
So all that crying and drama ultimately came down to this.
Mo Xicheng smirked, finding the irony in this.
In the past, Mo Hai had never believed that he had no interest in the family estate and would always assume that he was setting Mo Zhi up.
And now that their actual status had been clarified, how would he behave?
There really was no need to guess or hope, it was obvious.
Indeed, the moment Mo Hai heard these words, his expression turned angry and ashamed. He looked at Mo Zhi and said after a pause, “Even if something like this happens, couldn’t you have come and looked for me?! I’m your father, how could I not care about your life?”
At once, Mo Zhi started whimpering and sobbing loudly.
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes.
Then he pushed open the door and walked into the ward.
When he stepped in, he saw that Mo Zhi was bawling his eyes out while clinging on to Mo Hai’s thighs.
Li Shu was staring at the two men impassively.
When Mo Hai noticed Mo Xicheng had entered the room, he paused. Suddenly, he felt terribly embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.
If one were to say that Yao Lili had never treated Mo Xicheng kindly, then Mo Hai had treated him a notch worse.
As though it wasn’t bad enough that he had frequently hit and scolded Mo Xicheng for the smallest things, whenever Li Shu had given him the cold shoulder, he had used to take it out on the boy.
Hence, ever since Mo Xicheng’s status had been revealed, Mo Hai had felt too ashamed and guilty to look at the man. And this was only the second time they met each other since.
Mo Xicheng did not speak. He only looked at Mo Zhi and asked, “What tricks are you up to this time?”
Upon hearing those words, Mo Hai paused and looked at Mo Zhi questioningly.
Mo Zhi’s pupils shrank back. Then he started crying again without saying a word.
Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and said coldly, “The matter has blown up so much that reporters are hanging around the office. As if swapping babies incident wasn’t enough, now you’re creating a big suicide drama. Don’t you think that the company’s name has been ruined enough?”
Mo Zhi choked on his tears and retorted, “I did not- I did not think the reporters would turn up. How could I know that the reporters were watching me closely since our real identities were revealed?!”
Mo Xicheng’s lips curved into a mocking smile.
He was about to say something when Mo Hai intervened. “Alright, we’ll just let this matter rest. Mo Zhi, from now on please behave!”
Then he turned to look at Li Shu and Mo Xicheng, saying, “There are a few things I want to discuss with the two of you. Let’s do that outside so that we won’t disturb Mo Zhi’s rest.”
After exchanging a look, Mo Xicheng and Li Shu nodded.
