Chapter 1580: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (53)
As he entered the apartment, he heard Mo Zhi shouting, “Butler, this is impossible! My dad will not abandon me! You’re lying. Step aside, I want to go and see my dad. My dad would not ask me to leave!”
The butler’s voice could be heard replying, “Young Master Mo Zhi, this is what Sir has instructed me to do. It’s no lie, so please leave quickly. If you leave of your own accord, we will give you time to pack. If you don’t and we have to call security, then I’m afraid you may not be able to take your belongings with you.”
Mo Zhi’s voice grew sharper now as he shrieked, “Go away! You old dog! My dad would not do this, I want to ask him myself.”
Before he could finish, Mo Hai’s voice bellowed, “Enough!”
Mo Zhi fell silent. And before Mo Hai could even enter the apartment fully, the young man had already dashed out. He looked at Mo Hai with hopeful eyes and cried, “Dad, Dad, I know you won’t bear to ask me to leave. Dad, I’m your son, how could you ask me to leave?”
At these words, Mo Hai sighed and said, “Mo Zhi, listen to me.”
The young man stopped and looked at Mo Hai.
Mo Hai explained in a sincere tone, “I raised you up myself. And although you are a man, I always treated you very generously. This has caused you to be who you are today, a person without many accomplishments. This is now an opportunity for you to go out there and fend for yourself. Besides, given the situation, your mother would feel uncomfortable if I kept you here.”
“Why would she feel uncomfortable? She always tolerated Mo Xicheng, but now she can’t accept me? Even if I’m not her own child, doesn’t she even feel a little love for me after all these years?! I’m an innocent victim of the situation too, Dad.”
Mo Hai sighed when he heard these words. He turned to glance upstairs. Seeing that the curtains in Li Shu’s room were drawn, he quickly reached into his pocket and drew out a credit card. He held it out to Mo Zhi and said, “There’s 500,000 in here. Take it and leave. In a few days, when your mom has cooled down and if you want to return, I’ll put in a few words. I know this is not your fault, but your mom’s in a bad mood. And if you stayed, your mom would have trouble facing Mo Xicheng. I know it’s hard on you, son.”
Mo Zhi’s eyes reddened at once.
He had been close to Mo Hai for so many years, he knew the man well. From the tone of his voice, he knew that there was no turn around.
Hence, Mo Zhi stopped retorting and took the credit card. He said, “Alright, I’ll leave.”
Mo Hai sighed in relief.
Mo Zhi turned around and requested, “But may I pack my belongings?”
“Of course.”
The young man nodded. He went to pack a suitcase with his belongings and, as he pushed his suitcase behind him and walked to the front gate, he turned around to look at the villa in which he had grown up. An inexplicable sense of abandonment welled up within him. Along with that, he felt a growing anger.
Li Shu, it is you who made me leave today. One fine day, you will beg me to return!
He tried to comfort himself with this thought, as a vicious expression spread across his face. He turned back and walked out.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Li Shu stood by the window, quietly observing his figure.
