Mo Zhi’s pupils shrank back and he said, “Dad, that’s impossible!”
“Why is it impossible?!”
He turned to the junior housekeeper and commanded, “Speak up!”
The junior housekeeper repeated what she had said in Mo Hai’s study.
Mo Zhi was furious to hear this and said, “Dad, this is Mom’s housekeeper, of course she would take Mom’s side. How could you believe her? Maybe she’s lying and plotting with Mom.”
Mo Hai hesitated upon hearing this. He looked at Mo Zhi, almost believing what the man said.
At this point, the junior housekeeper said weakly, “No, I didn’t- I—”
“What are you talking about? Do you have proof? Just based on your words, who do you think will believe you?!” Mo Zhi berated her. He looked at Mo Hai and said, “Dad, you have to believe me! I’m your son, don’t you know me well enough? This person was sent by Mom!! Otherwise, why would she be here at this hour?”
As he said this, he glanced at the junior housekeeper, suddenly realizing something. He shouted, “Dad, look, it’s her! Mom hired and gave this housekeeper a high salary because her family is poor. She needed a large amount of money for her brother to go to the university, so Mom separately gave her an advanced payment. She’s Mom’s loyal housekeeper, how can you believe her words?!”
Mo Hai hesitated when he heard Mo Zhi’s excuse. He slowly relaxed his grip on Mo Zhi’s hand, turned to the junior housekeeper and asked her, “Whatever you saw, tell us, are there any other witnesses?”
The junior housekeeper looked at Mo Zhi and shook her head, saying, “No.”
Mo Zhi was relieved to hear this.
It was good that no one else had seen what had happened, so that he could continue insisting that it wasn’t as the junior housekeeper said, so that he could continue lying and deceiving Mo Hai.
He immediately pointed at the junior housekeeper and said, “Dad, look, this person is a liar. I’m not the sort of person she says I am. Don’t you know me? Dad, you have to believe me, it was really not like she said.”
Mo Hai began to hesitate.
The junior housekeeper became anxious and said, “Sir, I’m telling the truth. It’s true, it’s true! I did—”
“Shush! What position do you hold in this household? Why were you loitering outside my room? Don’t you dare lie just to be loyal to your employer!”
Mo Hai nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right, don’t speak nonsense!”
The junior housekeeper started to panic. “I am not speaking nonsense! I have proof!”
Mo Hai and Mo Zhi were instantly stunned.
They both looked at the junior housekeeper. Her eyes reddened as she timidly took out her cell phone and said, “I felt there was something wrong when it happened and didn’t know what Mo Zhi was trying to do So, after Madam entered Mo Zhi’s room and was out of the range of the surveillance cameras, I used my phone to record what was happening.”
Mo Zhi’s eyes immediately widened in horror upon hearing this.
Mo Hai, on the other hand, looked at the junior housekeeper in astonishment as she held out her cell phone with quivering hands. On the screen, the scene between Mo Zhi and Li Shu was playing.
Mo Hai was stunned.
He looked at Mo Zhi in disbelief.
When Mo Zhi saw his ferocious stare, he gestured with his hands and retreated. “Dad- Dad- it’s not like what you see there. Dad—”
Before he could finish what he was saying, Mo Hai had lifted his hand. His fist came swinging down and landed squarely on Mo Zhi’s face.
