Chapter 1573: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (46)
There was only a complete silence in the meeting room now.
When Yao Lili heard Li Shu’s words, she was so shocked that she forgot to cry and looked at the woman in a daze. She could not understand how Li Shu could know about this.
Obviously, her relationship with Mo Zhi had been a secret between just the two of them, no one else in the world knew about it. How did Li Shu know about it?
How could that be possible?
And Mo Zhi was even more shaken as he stared back at Li Shu.
He had thought that his was a secret he could carry to his grave, even though from the moment he found out the truth from Yao Lili, the fear of being found out had never left him.
But he had never imagined that the secret would be announced publicly in such a way.
He looked at Li Shu, completely shaken. He opened his mouth to speak but found that his voice was gone from the shock.
“That is not possible!”
Someone said this on his behalf.
He looked at Mo Hai and saw that the man’s pupils had shrunk back. He took a step towards Li Shu and stared at her, saying, “This is not possible, Li Shu. Don’t fool around, this is a serious occasion—”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Shu interrupted him, “I’m not joking, this is the proof. If it weren’t for the fact that I overheard those two, mother and son, talking in the hospital, I’m afraid we’d be none the wiser for the rest of our lives! And my own son would have had to bear the label of an illegitimate child, to be laughed at, insulted and ridiculed by people around him, and never able to live a normal life for the rest of his days!”
“Mo Hai, do you know that when you betrayed me, I only found you annoying? But now I hate you! I hate Yao Lili! It’s because of you that my son and I did not know each other for more than twenty years. And it’s the both of you that made me what I am today. It’s the two of you!”
As she spoke, her eyes reddened.
Lowering her head and biting her lip, she continued, “And because of the both of you, I’ve done so much wrong against my own son.”
“I cannot forgive myself, and I cannot forgive the two of you. And it’s even harder for me to face Mo Xicheng.”
Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her face as she felt a cutting pain in her heart.
That was what saddened her the most.
Even though now she knew the truth, she could not take away the pain she had caused Mo Xicheng before, or pretend that it had never happened.
She knew that her son may not forgive her.
And even now that she had told the truth, she could not bring herself to ask for Mo Xicheng’s forgiveness.
She felt a searing pain in her heart again at this thought.
–
Mo Xicheng was in a daze.
He could no longer hear the conversation that was going on in the room.
He could only stare at Li Shu, stupefied, not daring to believe what she had just said.
But some scenes flashed through his mind like a movie.
He thought of the special treatment he had received from Gao Feng, the unusual attitude she had had with Mo Zhi recently, and all the things that Yao Lili had done.
There seemed to be only one reasonable explanation.
But even then, he still didn’t dare to believe it.
His gaze fell on the DNA test report on the table. He walked over slowly and picked up the slip. When he saw what was on it, his mind went blank.
In the meeting room now, Gao Feng was about the only person who maintained a semblance of cool-headedness.
He broke the silence of the seemingly checkmate situation in the meeting room as he raised his deep voice, “Now that the truth is out, and we know the real illegitimate son is Mo Zhi, I’d suggest that he be removed from the Mo family enterprise.”
