Chapter 1388: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (61)
Shi Nianyao frowned. “Does Mo Xicheng know that you wish to see me?”
Yao Lili halted for a moment and then started, “What happened today was my fault. I arranged for you to meet with Mo Zhi. I thought that if I returned you to Mo Zhi, it would mend the relationship between the two brothers. But I didn’t think that he’d be so upset after he found out about it. I know that he will not forgive me. Ms. Shi, I- I just wanted to have a chat with you.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Nianyao was silent for a moment.
She had sensed that Mo Xicheng had been in low spirits today at the hospital.
She knew that it would be a lie to say that he had absolutely no affection towards his mother.
No matter how unkindly she had treated him, she had given birth to him and raised him.
As the old saying went, there isn’t a mother who does not treat her own children well.
Because a woman’s heart is always tender.
Yao Lili had maintained a strong point of view all along. Although Shi Nianyao did not like her, right now, when the hard woman softened all of a sudden, Shi Nianyao felt her heart softening too.
It wasn’t because of this vicious woman that her heart softened. Rather, her heart was softening because of Mo Xicheng.
If Mo Xicheng’s mother treated him kindly, then wouldn’t there be another woman in this world who would be good to him?
And he would be less lonely and alone.
At this thought, Shi Nianyao narrowed her eyes and said, “Alright, I’ll go over.”
After Yao Lili told her the ward number, Shi Nianyao sighed and got changed to go out.
First, she bent and peaked down the corridor of the second floor. She saw that the living room was quiet, there was no one. Then she tiptoed downstairs.
As she walked into the living room with her pair of shoes in her hands, she took one step at a time towards the front door.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she finally inched her way there. Just as she was about to open the door and leave, someone suddenly opened the door of the bedroom on the second floor. Immediately following this, Shi Xun’s voice rang out, “Where are you going at this hour of the night?”
Shi Nianyao: …!
Her head snapped upwards as she exclaimed, “Big Brother! You gave me a fright! Can you at least give a little warning the next time?!”
Shi Xun said, “Sheesh, don’t you think you should be answering my question of where you’re headed off to?”
Shi Nianyao: …
She cleared her throat and lowered her head. Then she bent over to put her shoes on. Looking up at him after this, she said boldly, “Mom Mo is sick and has been hospitalized, I’m just going to see her.”
Shi Xun paused for a moment and looked as though he was about to say something. But then he eventually held his tongue.
He had no knowledge of the situation. How could anyone have imagined that there was such a selfish mother in this world?
From Shi Xun’s perspective, the relationship between Mo Xicheng and his mother was nothing out of the ordinary. She was his mother after all.
Hence at this moment, he could only ask, “Really?”
The girl replied, “That’s the truth, nothing but the whole truth. If you don’t believe me, you can just as easily do your own investigation. Which hospital, which ward?”
Shi Xun: …
The man thought for a while and then smiled, “Your mother-in-law dislikes you, so you’re taking the opportunity to please her while she’s sick in hospital?”
At once, Shi Nianyao gestured with her hand. “What? Why would I need to brown-nose? If someone doesn’t like me, I’ll just throw money at the person till they like me. She finally realized how good I am and that’s why she called to say she wanted to have a chat. She even said she accepted the idea of Mo Xicheng and I getting married.”
Shi Xun snorted when he heard this and replied, “Very well then, enough. Go if you wish, but get our chauffeur to send you there, and when you’re done, he’ll drive you back here.”
