Chapter 1595: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (68)
Li Shu smirked and turned to look at Mo Zhi. She said, “And in the past, did you ever think of getting along with Mo Xicheng harmoniously?”
Mo Zhi fell into a sullen silence.
Li Shu cast her gaze down and continued, “You didn’t. So why do I need to get along with you harmoniously?”
Mo Zhi clenched his jaws tightly upon hearing this. He said, “Mom, why does our relationship have to degenerate to this point?”
Li Shu kept silent.
Mo Zhi suddenly laughed and said, “Well then, do you think Dad loves you more? Or loves me more?”
Li Shu narrowed her eyes and lifted her head. “What do you mean by that?”
The man sneered and said, “I didn’t mean anything. I was only asking a question.”
Then he took a step back and walked out of the room.
As Li Shu watched him leave, she frowned and felt a little uneasy. But unable to place a finger on anything specific, she continued tidying her belongings.
As she was doing this, a thought suddenly struck her. Her pupils shrank back instantly and she hurriedly walked to the safe in her room. She opened it and discovered that, indeed, a jewelry case was missing.
A jewelry case.
Her pupils shrank as she recalled the dowry that her mother had given her on her wedding day. It was an extremely valuable jade bangle.
That jade bangle held a special meaning for her, it was also the only thing that her mother had passed on to her before she died. All these years, she had treated the bangle like a treasure and had never handed it to anyone.
Apart from herself, there was only one other person who knew the code to the safe: Mo Zhi.
Even Mo Hai did not know the code.
Hence, Mo Zhi must have taken the bangle!
At the thought of this possibility, Li Shu dashed downstairs and went straight to Mo Zhi’s apartment.
As she charged into the apartment, Mo Zhi was seated on the sofa, as though expecting her.
She narrowed her eyes and said to him, “Mo Zhi, return the bangle to me!”
Mo Zhi raised an eyebrow and gave Li Shu a half-smile as he asked, “What bangle are you talking about?”
Li Shu heaved in anger and replied, “You know what I’m talking about. I’m asking you, what do you want exactly?!”
Had he stolen the bangle so that she would give him 20 percent of the Mo family business’ shares like he wanted?
How was that possible?!
Li Shu wasn’t a fool.
But if it wasn’t for that purpose, then what?
As she asked herself this question, she caught him looking at his wardrobe.
Without thinking, she ran to the wardrobe and opened it, emptying its content one piece at a time.
Now Mo Zhi’s clothes were strewn all over the bed, the floor and everywhere, but the bangle was nowhere to be found.
Li Shu turned around. Mo Zhi was still sitting on the sofa. He was calm and composed as he looked back at her.
She walked up to him and asked, “Tell me, where is my bangle?!”
In response to this, the man slowly reached into his pocket and took out a bangle.
When she saw the bangle, she reached out for it.
But Mo Zhi was faster. In a flash, he moved the bangle away from her.
He looked up at Li Shu and said, “You care about this bangle a lot? I know this was given to you by your mother and it has a special meaning for you. So you want me to return it to you?”
Li Shu nodded immediately.
Mo Zhi extended his hand and Li Shu reached out for the bangle once more.
But just as she was about to touch it, Mo Zhi released it. The bangle fell on the ground with a loud thud.
