Chapter 1557: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (30)

The meeting that was going on in the penthouse right now—Yao Lili had repeated this phrase a few times.

Listening to her, Mo Xicheng only wanted to laugh.

How could she know what was going on in the meeting in the penthouse? She had to be in cahoots with Mo Zhi. So right up till now, this mother of his was still trying to secure her own happiness and future at his expense?

Or had Mo Hai promised her something?

At this thought, Mo Xicheng suddenly felt that life was extremely sorrowful.

He lifted his gaze to look at Yao Lili and asked, “Have you never thought of me as your own son?”

She paused for a moment and quickly said, “Of course. And if you’d only give up, I would treat you well, for sure.”

Give up… and she would treat him well how? Would it be just like in the past, asking him for money every month and getting herself an extra-credit card under his own so that she could spend his money like there was no tomorrow?

She had no idea that every cent he had made in the entertainment industry was hard-earned money.

But he had never said that in front of her.

Because he knew he couldn’t, he didn’t have the right or authority to.

It was an unspoken understanding between them that if he wanted to leave the Mo family, then he would have to keep providing Yao Lili with the same sort of comfortable and luxurious life that she had enjoyed under the roof of the Mo family.

But now he felt that this idea of his had been a big joke.

And it was his passiveness that had allowed Yao Lili to become what she was like today, one step at a time.

For a long time, there had been no more affection between them, only benefits.

And even though time and again, he had said that he wanted to sever ties with Yao Lili, it was only now that he realized he had finally let go.

From now on, whatever became of Yao Lili was none of his business.

At this thought, his expression hardened with determination. He walked out decisively.

After leaving the meeting room on the first floor, he stood outside and lifted his head to look at the penthouse meeting room.

There had to be a heated debate going on inside now. They were probably discussing whether he should be asked to leave the company.

He gave a frosty laugh and his expression turned determined.

Taking in a deep breath, he walked to the elevator unhurriedly. Then he hit the button for the penthouse.

When he reached the top floor, he first returned to his own office.

The moment he entered, Shi Nianyao looked up anxiously and asked, “Mo Xicheng, is everything ok?”

He smiled at her. “Everything’s fine.”

She bit her lip and said, “I’ve just realized that there’s a meeting going on next door and they are talking about you. What now?”

The corners of his lips turned upwards and he looked unusually relaxed.

It was as though the burden that had been resting heavily on his shoulders had suddenly vanished.

It seemed like he had let go of all his load. And although he looked steady and composed like his usual self, that gloominess that had always been in his eyes had now been replaced by confidence and steadfastness.

This change was reflected in his tone as he said with certainty, “Uh huh. Since they are talking about me, why can’t I be present?”

As soon as he said this, he picked up some documents and headed out of the office.

Shi Nianyao was taken aback and asked immediately, “Mo Xicheng, where are you going?”

He turned around and replied, “I’m off to do what has to be done.”

She bit down on her lip and said, “You—”

Suddenly, he smiled and said to her, “Don’t worry. This is just a one-time struggle for power. If I succeed, then this will secure my position in the company.”
