Chapter 1479: He Is My Son (52)
Si Jingyu frowned and looked at Li Shu, who was obviously in low spirits. She said, “Li Shu, over a son, is it worth it?”
She placed both her hands on the table and looked at Li Shu with much disappointment. Among all their old friends, Li Shu had the most mettle and the best literary reputation. Her energy and enthusiasm also attracted the most suitors. But now, it was as though the woman was living half a life.
What had become of Li Shu today?
Although the woman had come prepared to see her, the weariness beneath her dolled-up exterior was evident.
Si Jingyu clenched her fists tightly, on one hand furious over Mo Zhi, on the other hand feeling sorrowful for Li Shu.
She looked at Li Shu and said sincerely and earnestly, “You should have left him when he had an affair at that time. But you stayed for the child and just went on with life as it was. Since that was the case, why didn’t you just focus on educating Mo Zhi?”
Hearing these words from Si Jingyu, Li Shu had a sudden realization.
Suddenly, she felt glad that she had neglected Mo Zhi’s home education all these years. If it had been otherwise, and should Mo Zhi had been a smarter person and had control of the Mo family, then how could her own son fight him now?
At this thought, Li Shu became a little distracted. She looked at Si Jingyu and pursed her lips after a moment. Then she said, “Jingyu, what if I told you that my life has been a joke all these years? What would you think?”
Si Jingyu was slightly taken aback and suddenly felt her heart soften.
She looked at how down her old friend seemed and couldn’t find it within herself to make any harsher remarks.
Sighing, she said, “Li Shu, you are only fifty years old. You can start all over again. You really don’t have to be so pessimistic.”
Li Shu shook her head and started, “You have no idea.”
She looked ahead steadily and continued, “I don’t wish to interfere with Mo Zhi’s affairs any longer. If you wish to seek revenge with him, please go ahead. After all, where this matter is concerned, he’s gone overboard.”
Si Jingyu was taken aback when she heard these words.
She had come to see Li Shu with the intention of having a heart-to-heart chat.
They weren’t going to just let the matter rest. After all, everyone in the family had doted on Shi Nianyao and had treated her like a precious pearl ever since she was a baby.
If they had been children and Mo Zhi had hit her, of course the parents would have not retaliated.
But they were no longer children.
They were adults. And having had something like this happen, they couldn’t just take it lightly.
Mo Zhi knew what he was doing and he had to be responsible for his own actions. He had to pay a price.
But Si Jingyu was still shocked by Li Shu’s response.
Had she totally given up on Mo Zhi, to be saying something like this?
The woman frowned, feeling like this woman was both lamentable and detestable.
She couldn’t help but ask again, “Li Shu, you really do not care about your own son?”
Upon hearing this, Li Shu lifted her gaze and looked steadily at Si Jingyu.
Si Jingyu got onto her feet and continued, “He is your son and it’s your responsibility that he has turned out this way. You failed to raise him properly! You have a good background at home, so how did Mo Zhi become what he is today? And you know Mo Hai behaves like a nouveau riche. What did you think would happen if he tried to raise a child? And now you are washing your hands off this matter. Li Shu, are you fit to be a mother?!”
Upon hearing these words, Li Shu looked up at Si Jingyu and said, “Jingyu, what if I told you he is not my child?”
