Chapter 1633
Chapter 1633: Epilogue (6)
Li Shu had a strong presence even though she was a small lady. Her unique aura made people afraid of being too reckless in front of her.
When everyone was quite sure that Li Shu was not going to answer the question, she suddenly said, “I’m not a good mother.”
Everyone was taken aback.
She continued clearly and unhurriedly, “Mo Xicheng grew up under my watch as well, and I was unable to treat him like my own because I thought he was the son of a mistress. And now thinking back, it pains my heart. As much as I wasn’t kind to him, I regret it with equal measure.”
“The love I have given as a mother is poor and lacking. I only have this much of it. After giving it all to Mo Xicheng, I have nothing left for others.”
“And I am no saint. I’m a selfish person. I was like this in the past and it’s the same now. I am unable to treat the child of a mistress equally. I think this would be the same for any woman.”
At this point, she gave an icy laugh and continued, “So you can criticize me if you are able to do otherwise.”
These words were sharp and unapologetic, silencing the reporters at once.
Indeed.
If they asked more questions, it only meant they felt they could do what she couldn’t.
Who among them would tolerate a cheating husband and also treat the illegitimate child as their own? Even if the child were innocent, his existence was in fact the original sin.
The group remained silent as she looked scornfully at each of them in turn. Finally, her gaze fell on Mo Zhi.
Even if they had had any affections for each other as mother and child, they had vanished the moment he had smashed her jade bangle.
So now, there was no need to pretend any kinship existed.
The reason he had come here, in front of these reporters, was to pressure her with public opinion.
He thought she would cave and agree to give him some benefits.
But she would not indeed.
So what if she admitted her imperfections? She, Li Shu, was but an ordinary woman!
And if Mo Zhi was hoping to attack Mo Xicheng through her, he could only dream about it.
At this thought, she gave a frosty snort and looked away from him. She continued walking towards the building.
Mo Zhi was still kneeling on the ground.
He hadn’t thought that Li Shu would admit it so readily and he was shocked.
By the time he got over it, the woman had already walked away towards the office building.
Mo Zhi clenched his fists tightly as he trembled in anger.
He was infuriated.
He was most reluctant to believe that things had gone this way. He was burning with anger, as though fuel had been added to the fire.
All of a sudden, he felt that he had never hated Mo Xicheng and he had never hated Mo Hai.
The only person he hated to the core was Li Shu!
Because since childhood, she had never paid attention to him and just made Mo Hai force him to study. Despite all of his efforts, he would never gain Li Shu’s approval.
He was nothing in her eyes.
But why?
Why was he nothing and Mo Xicheng was everything?
He went berserk at this thought. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he hollered, “Li Shu! Go to hell!”
Then he charged at the woman and lunged at her.
