Chapter 1013: My Turn on The Stage (8)

In fact, he felt rather embarrassed and hung his head as he grunted, “Uh huh.”
Her expression was complex as she looked at him.
This was the only reason why the mistress had a legitimate place in their lives.
That woman had given her husband a son—a son who was more talented than her own son.
She should hate this boy.
But ever since he had been a child, she had never managed to bring herself to hate him.
He was so small, so gentle.
He was like her own Mo Zhi when it came to his ability to melt her heart.
But as the boys grew up, this child had continued to excel, while Mo Zhi had started to go astray at some point.
She had the feeling that she had to be careful with the boy.
Eventually, she had a heart to heart talk with him.
After that, he had joined the entertainment industry, moved out of the Mo Family residence and kept a low profile in the years that followed.
This boy was quite more reassuring than his mother.
“You may already know the reason why I’m here.”
Mo Xicheng nodded and replied, “Don’t worry. I promised you that I wouldn’t get involved in the Mo family business.”
Madam Mo nodded. “I trust your word on this.”
The Mo family’s leadership belonged to Mo Zhi.
What right should an illegitimate child have in the succession of the family assets?
Although this was a reasonable question in many ways, when she looked at Mo Xicheng in his historical costume and doing everything he could to survive in the entertainment industry, Madam Mo felt terribly uneasy.
Suddenly, she lowered her gaze and drew out a check from her purse. Thrusting it towards Mo Xicheng, she said, “This is a token of my gratitude for staying out of it.”
Mo Xicheng looked at the check and saw that it was for a sum of 50 million.
It was enough for him to live in luxury for the rest of his life.
His pupils shrank back at once as he declined it.
Madam Mo’s tone grew icy. “Do you feel it’s inadequate?”
He shook his head as he lifted his gaze to look at her. “You had someone take me to the hospital when I was sick, you allowed me to be educated alongside Mo Zhi. I am grateful enough. Not getting involved in the family business is my only way of thanking you. I will keep my word.”
Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed across her face.
This boy truly far surpassed Mo Zhi.
But what could she do?
Mo Zhi was her own flesh and blood.
She would rather the Mo family business came to an end in her son’s hands than to give it to a mistress’ illegitimate son.
And if Mo Xicheng succeeded the family business, how would Mo Zhi be able to endure it?
She nodded and turned to walk away.
Mo Xicheng suddenly called her, “You-”
She turned around.
He looked at her and asked after a pause, “Were you the one behind my scandal?”
Some time ago, there had already been talks of having him work for the family business. At the time, he had been caught on photos with Shen Liangchuan late at night and the rumors had gotten ugly. It was obvious that someone was instigating the public opinion, for these articles had all been against his image.
At the time, everyone had been convinced that this was very much in line with Madam Mo’s style of doing things. Only he had refused to believe it. He had not seen her in years, so now that they had the opportunity to meet, he wanted to know for sure.
Madam Mo froze at this suggestion and replied, “I, Li Shu, would not stoop to such resources.”
She had lived a transparent and well-regarded life all of this time. She would rather conspire openly than use underhanded means.
Hence, who could have been the instigator?
