She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 1432
Chapter 1432: He Is My Son (5)
Do you have something to tell me?
When Li Shu heard this question, she suddenly felt the urge to cry.
She tried to suppress the pain she was feeling in her heart and asked after a moment, “Why did you help me?
Mo Xicheng paused, suddenly at a loss for an answer.
For an odd reason, he thought he saw in Li Shu’s eyes anticipation for his answer.
He did not understand this anticipation but still he explained, “I think you have your own reasons for lying, so what’s the matter with you? Is there something wrong?”
Li Shu’s eyes reddened again as she stared at the young man.
She had always known he was a good man, but now she realized that he really was a very good son.
He was injured, yet he showed concern for her.
Large tear drops formed quickly and rolled down her cheeks.
Mo Xicheng was even more puzzled now as he pursed his lips and stared at her. Finally, he sighed and said, “Is this because of my mom again?”
Li Shu froze at once.
The word “mom” hit her in an odd way. It gave her a strong urge to embrace him and tell him the truth.
But if she told him, would he believe it?
Li Shu clenched her fists tightly.
She thought of how she had given him the cold shoulder and treated him poorly. She had misunderstood him even though she had occasionally helped him. Suddenly, she felt nauseatingly evil in front of this young man.
She didn’t deserve to be acknowledged by Mo Xicheng as his mother.
Seeing that his words were making Li Shu cry so badly, he started to get nervous.
His normally gloomy expression was now laced with slight panic. “What’s the matter?”
Li Shu would not say anything, she merely cried.
At this point, Shi Nianyao ran to them hurriedly and exclaimed, “I just left for the restroom for a bit and told you not to wander. Why did you walk all the way here?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xicheng looked up and smiled at Shi Nianyao.
He had only sighted Li Shu as a coincidence and, seeing that she didn’t seem to be in a right state of mind, he had followed her and steadied her when she tripped.
Shi Nianyao mumbled to herself and then put her hands on his arm to support him. But when she turned and saw the crying Li Shu, she was taken aback.
She misunderstood the situation and quickly hid behind Mo Xicheng, whispering, “What’s the matter with Auntie Li Shu?”
Mo Xicheng looked at the woman and frowned, eventually giving a sigh as he said, “I do apologize this time. I can’t let Mo Zhi off.”
Li Shu was surprised by his words.
She gave Mo Xicheng a puzzled look and suddenly realized what he meant. He thought that she was there to plead, to ask the Shi family to show mercy towards Mo Zhi.
Her heart writhed in pain once again.
This child… this child.
“But on the other hand,” she thought, “wasn’t that how she used to be?”
She had even told him once, “If there comes a day that you become a threat to Mo Zhi, don’t blame me for taking drastic actions.”
How coldly had she said those words. And how cruel they seemed now.
Suddenly, Li Shu was at a loss for words.
She saw Mo Xicheng nodding at her as he prepared to walk away with Shi Nianyao’s help.
Li Shu panicked and called out, “Mo Xicheng.”
The man halted and turned around.
Li Shu looked at him and finally said, “Would you… let me have a few strands of your hair?”
