Chapter 1552: Mo Xicheng Reinstated! (25)

“That’s right.”

“The poor guy.”

“…”

Mo Xicheng overheard different conversations and he was stunned.

Indeed, why had Yao Lili treated him exceptionally poorly all his life? And why was Li Shu acting so strange towards him now?

Oddly, a few scenes flashed through his mind.

Because they were unpleasant memories, he had chosen to push them to the back of his mind. But right now, the scenes played out before his eyes clearly.

Once after school, when he was five, he had seen Yao Lili on the way home.

His eyes lit up, as he thought that Yao Lili had come to walk him home.

Hence he moved forward but, the moment he was about to dash to his mother, he suddenly noticed that she was holding Mo Zhi’s hand.

Mo Zhi was struggling to break away as Yao Lili held out a small piece of cake, asking him, “Mo Zhi, don’t you like this sort of ice cream cake? I bought some for you. Do you like it? If you like it, then speak with me for a bit?”

At that time, Mo Xicheng’s eyes were fixed on the piece of cake.

Ice cream cake was almost Mo Zhi’s all-time favorite and Mo Xicheng had been fortunate enough to have tried some once. It tasted awesome, so at that point he was staring at the delicious dessert, salivating and wishing he could have some.

So he kept moving forward and saw Mo Zhi taking the piece of cake from her. Then he looked at Yao Lili arrogantly and asked, “Say it, what do you want from me?”

Yao Lili looked at him and said, “Say- say a few words after me. Would you do that?”

“Sure.”

“Good boy! Come, say after me, Mama.”

Mo Zhi repeated after her, “Mama.”

Mo Xicheng froze and stood rooted to the ground.

He looked at the two of them with a confused expression.

He didn’t understand why Yao Lili would ask Mo Zhi to call her mom when she was obviously his own mother.

In his confusion, he saw Yao Lili’s eyes redden. Then she hugged Mo Zhi and said, “Aaah.”

Mo Zhi, however, stepped back in disdain and shoved her. She fell on the ground. Immediately, he stood over her and shouted, “Tr*mp! Mistress! You’re bad!”

Seeing that Yao Lili had fallen, Mo Xicheng got worked up and rushed up to place his arms around Yao Lili. He stared at Mo Zhi and shouted back, “Don’t hit my mom! Don’t yell at my mom!”

Mo Zhi was already unkind as a child. He replied, “So what if I hit her and yell at her. You and your mom are my father’s unwanted dogs! I can hit you as much as I want.”

After saying these words, he turned to look at the ice cream cake and threw it on the ground. Trampling on the cake, he continued to shout, “I eat this cake everyday and I’m sick of it! Who wants your cake?!”

Yao Lili got anxious at once when she heard this. She quickly asked, “What do you like to eat then?”

Mo Zhi replied, “I like chocolate.”

Yao Lili nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll get some for you next time.”

“Humph, I want imported ones. I want that brand of chocolate.”

“No problem.”

Mo Zhi walked away.

Mo Xicheng stood there staring blankly at the two of them. He did not understand what was going on.

After that episode, he realized that Yao Lili’s personal savings were running out quickly and every day, Mo Zhi would go to school with a box of chocolate in his school bag. He wouldn’t eat the chocolate, but would bring them to school as presents for other people.
