Chapter 1077 - Two Men Vying For A Lady (9)

Mo Zhi shuddered involuntarily.

From looking mesmerized a moment ago, his expression at once gave way and he immediately spat out two words, “Freaking hell!”

Freaking hell.

This was way too much of a surprise to handle.

That face was simply one big mess.

That makeup was so terrible that she could pass as a clown. One couldn’t even see her features clearly.

But…

What was the point of having pretty features if the makeup was done this poorly?

At this thought, he saw Shi Nianyao’s eyes suddenly light up as though she had seen a treasure. She quickly waved back and, with a coy tilt of her waist, glanced at Mo Zhi shyly. “Big Brother Mo.”

Mo Zhi was stunned speechless as goosebumps broke out all over his body.

Si Jingyu: …

Shi Jinyan: …

Both were at a loss for words. They exchanged a glance and grimaced.

How had they even gotten so brain-washed by the girl on their way here?

She had said something along the line of, “Of course he’ll react well if I look beautiful. But if I look ugly and he still reacts well, then wouldn’t it mean he has excellent character?”

“Dad, Mom, we won’t be picky with Mo Zhi’s looks, but he had been spreading rumors about me being ugly, so I have to look into his character.”

But…

But in order to look into the man’s character, wasn’t the show Shi Nianyao had put up a little overboard?

At this point, Si Jingyu simply wished she could stuff her daughter back into her womb for a remake.

But this had to do with her daughter’s lifetime happiness ands since things had come to this, of course she could not undermine it.

Hence, Si Jingyu cleared her throat and took a step forward to give Li Shu an affectionate hug.

She took a good look at Li Shu and sighed. “Li Shu, it’s been years since we last met. You look bleaker than before.”

Upon hearing this, Li Shu studied the other woman’s face and said, “And you haven’t changed much. It looks like you’re living life well.”

She lowered her head with slightly reddened eyes at this point.

Si Jingyu quickly took the woman’s hand and turned to the rest. “Alright, let’s not stand around. Take a seat, everyone.”

When they were deciding where to seat everyone, Shi Nianyao played out yet another of her wicked ideas.

She sat next to Mo Zhi on purpose. And after sitting down, she rested her chin in her propped up hands, looked at Mo Zhi and started throwing flirtatious glances in his direction.

But with this makeup, Mo Zhi found it completely intolerable.

He cleared his throat and gulped down. Despise was written clearly all over his face.

Shi Jinyan sat there observing Mo Zhi, quietly measuring the man. He cast his gaze down with disappointment.

On the other side of the table, So Jingyu and Li Shu were chatting.

Li Shu looked at Shi Jinyan, shifted her gaze to Si Jingyu and said with a sigh, “I remember we got married the same year. Back then you said you envied me. But now it looks like you had a better eye. I am as sorrowful now as I was happy then. And you are as happy now as you were sorrowful back then. With a boy and a girl, Jingyu, I’ve said so before, you’re a blessed and fortunate woman.”

Upon hearing this, So Jingyu quickly reached out for Li Shu’s hand and said in a low voice, “You and Mo Zhi’s father…”

Li Shu’s expression froze as she said, “It’s still the same.”

Si Jingyu sighed at once.
