Chapter 1449: He Is My Son (22)
That remark was like a sharp slap to Yao Lili’s face.
She stood rooted to the ground, noticing the look of disdain on the man’s face, as though she was plague. She was embarrassed and at the same time angry.
She opened her mouth yet again to speak, but Li Shu interrupted, “I asked her to come over.”
When Mo Hai heard this, his fury and reluctance vanished immediately as he spun around anxiously to look at Li Shu and said, “Li Shu, you were the one who invited her? Is there a reason for this? Why did you ask her to come over to our home?”
That look of rejection on his face was evident.
Yao Lili was livid.
Li Shu, in response, only widened her eyes indifferently and said, “I’ve agreed to let her stay here. From now on, I will not interfere with what goes on between the both of you.”
At this point, she looked at the food on the table and squinted. “I have no appetite tonight,” she said. “I’m not eating. Yao Lili can be your dinner companion. Oh, and she likes meat. You might wish to ask the kitchen to prepare some.”
Having said this, she got onto her feet and headed upstairs without turning back to take a second look.
Mo Hai was horrified and quickly followed her, saying, “Li Shu, listen to me. How could you?”
Before he could finish what he was saying, Li Shu was already in the bedroom and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, leaving Mo Hai standing outside on the corridor.
The man almost had his nose hit by the slamming door. He rubbed his nose and knocked on the door cautiously, asking, “Li Shu, what’s the matter? Is this because you dislike her? If you dislike her I’ll ask her to go home, is that alright?”
The door flew open after he said those words. His face lit up as he tried to step into the room, however Li Shu said, “Mo Hai, I’ve promised Mo Xicheng to allow Yao Lili to stay here.”
Mo Hai misunderstood her words.
He had also been at a loss regarding Mo Zhi’s matter.
The boy had offended the Shi family and now Mo Hai was a little nervous, wondering when they would come for their revenge.
From what Li Shu was saying, did it mean that Mo Xicheng had agreed to settle the issue with the Shi family so that they would not find trouble with Mo Zhi, and as a result she had to let Yao Lili stay with them?
The moment this thought struck, Mo Hai was irritated at once.
He was utterly convinced that the woman downstairs was his nemesis.
His chest hurt from the anger he was feeling. He had only recently managed to placate Lishu after such a long time, but now things were back at square one.
As this thought ran through his mind, Li Shu said, “Treat her well.”
With another bang, the door was slammed shut again. Quickly following this, he heard her say, “You can sleep in her room tonight.”
Mo Hai: ...
Anger welled up within him.
What was this situation now?
Was he a male prostitute, having to sleep with that woman to save his own son?
In his fury, he headed downstairs.
Once downstairs, he saw Yao Lili standing by the dining table. Upon seeing him, the woman smiled at him gently and said, “Mr. Mo, will you have dinner?”
She took the porridge from the housekeeper, placed it before the man and said, “Hurry and eat some.”
Mo Hai felt a surge of anger at this point. Without a word, he went up to the dining table and swept the bowl aside in a fury. The bowl flew off the table and landed on the floor with a crash, shattering into bits among the porridge.
Then his hand raised and fell mercilessly across Yao Lili’s cheek as he shouted, “Get out!”
