After parting ways with Mo Xicheng, Li Shu strolled quietly alone down the street.
About a 100 meters down, a van was parked on the side, waiting for her.
As she walked towards the vehicle, a middle-aged man came out. He held open the car door for her. “Li Shu, you must be freezing?”
This man was Mo Zhi and Mo Xicheng’s father, Mr. Mo.
Mr. Mo looked as though he was trying hard to please Li Shu, but she held a cold expression and merely nodded at him cordially as she got in the car.
He smiled bitterly without the slightest trace of anger and got into the front passenger seat.
Mo Zhi was in the backseat and hung his head meekly in Li Shu’s presence, trying to look pitiful. He was completely bereft of the arrogance that he usually displayed to the outside world.
He looked at Li Shu and asked, “Mom, what did he say?”
Without lifting her eyes, Li Shu replied, “He will not compete with you.”
“But if he wasn’t going to do that, why did he spread those rumors? Mom, don’t be fooled by that bastard! He is an actor and is best at playing the poor victim.”
Li Shu frowned immediately and turned sharply to look at Mo Zhi. “Who said he’s a bastard? If he were one, what does that make your Dad?”
Mo Zhi fell into a sullen silence.
Li Shu humphed and continued, “You’ve been behaving outrageously these days. Since you were a child, I’ve taught you to mind your words but look at you now, using words like ‘bastard!’”
Mo Zhi hung his head at once and said, “Mom, I know it’s my fault. I was just too angry.”
As he said these words, he reached out and lightly took Li Shu’s arm.
Li Shu frowned and pushed him away.
Following this, she lowered her gaze and said, “From now on, you won’t create trouble for him.”
His eyes flashed a few times before he nodded and said, “Ok.”
Having said that, he turned to look at Li Shu again and asked, “Mom, did you see his girlfriend?”
Ever since he had left the filming set, he hadn’t been able to take his mind off her. The more he thought of her, the more he thought she was attractive.
Li Shu frowned angrily again.
Mo Zhi hung his head quickly and sighed, “I really do like her, she’s so pretty—”
Mo Zhi fell silent obediently.
From then onwards, no one in the car spoke a single word.
They arrived at the hotel.
The three of them headed up to the presidential suite’s level.
Li Shu entered a room, but when Mr. Mo followed her to do the same, the door was slammed shut in his face with a loud “bang,” leaving him stranded outside.
Crestfallen, Mr. Mo hesitated outside the door for some time. Finally, he said to her, “Li Shu, rest well then.”
After these words, he went with Mo Zhi into another presidential suite nearby.
When Mo Zhi entered the room, he grabbed Mr. Mo’s arm and said, “Dad, I don’t care. I like that girl. You have to make her break up with Mo Xicheng!”
Mr. Mo frowned and said, “You! I’ve really spoiled you.”
In his wife’s eyes, he was an embarrassment and she had been ignoring him.
All of these years, Mr. Mo had showered Mo Zhi with all of his affection and that was why the boy had turned out .
Mo Zhi laughed derisively and said, “It’s just a woman, so what if I fool around a little? Besides, didn’t you have many affairs too when you were young?”
Immediately, Mr. Mo looked uneasy.
After a pause, he nodded and said, “But since Mo Xicheng wants to seriously pursue the girl... I won’t allow it.”
