Li Shu stood outside the door in a daze as she looked into the room in disbelief.

Mo Zhi was holding Yao Lili’s hand and looking both half-crazed and troubled. He looked at the woman and said yet again, “Mom, say something. What do I do now?”

He was calling her Mom again, Li Shu felt her head spinning.

What was wrong with this child?

Why was he grabbing Yao Lili and calling her Mom?

As much as she understood the meaning of each word he was saying, it seemed that when those words were strung together, they made no sense.

She stood outside the door with her hand on the door handle, feeling confused while she stared at the two people in the ward.

Her mind went blank, all she could see was Mo Zhi and Yao Lili.

After Mo Zhi had spoken, Yao Lili patted his back gently and said, “Don’t panic, Mo Zhi, don’t panic. Let me tell you, I’ve spent so much effort, it’s all so that you can inherit the Mo family business. So don’t worry, I will not let Mo Xicheng do this. Don’t worry, you have to keep calm. Now all you need to do is to continue lying on your sickbed, pretend to be weak. I think they are giving Mo Xicheng the shares and position to solve Shi Nianyao’s matter.”

Mo Zhi spun around and sat on the sofa. Staring at Yao Lili, he suddenly asked, “Are you really my mother?”

Yao Lili was stunned and said, “Mo Zhi, what- what do you mean?”

Mo Zhi laughed icily and said, “You say you’re my mother, but look at what you’ve done. You told me that if I slept with Shi Nianyao, once the deed was done, I’d be able to get rid of Mo Xicheng. But now? How did Mo Xicheng know I was in the hotel and why did he burst in at a critical moment? Now that I think about it, after all of this, the person who has benefited most from it is still Mo Xicheng! Didn’t you see? Even my Mom is being fooled by him. On the surface he looks like he is not interested in the inheritance, but he has signed the contract all the same.”

“Honestly, is all of this a lie? You are doing it for Mo Xicheng! You’re actually not my mother!”

Yao Lili started to panic and said, “Mo Zhi, what a child! This was an accident and I am indeed your mother, you have to believe me! I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, how could I not be your mother?”

Mo Zhi stared at her. Because he had lost the Mo family shares, he was now terrified and hesitant. He was very worried about everything. He felt that things were starting to go wrong and going in a way that he hadn’t intended.

Shi Nianyao had clearly been Mo Xicheng’s girlfriend from a poor family, so why had she turned into the pampered daughter of the Shi family all of a sudden?

And this woman in front of him kept saying she was doing these things for his benefit. But in the end, the person who benefited would invariably be someone else.

He pointed at Yao Lili and interrogated her, “You said you’re my mom, what proof do you have?!”

Yao Lili said frantically, “Mo Zhi, how could you doubt me? I’m your real mother! If you don’t believe me, we can take a paternity test.”

“A paternity test?” Mo Zhi laughed and said, “That would take a long time.”

“Mo Zhi, you- you- Oh, now I recall! There is a birthmark on your buttock. It was there from birth. It’s a rather private area, so I don’t think many people know about it.”
