Chapter 1596: Mo Xicheng Reinstated! (69)
Li Shu froze.
She looked down at the jade bangle in disbelief.
It was a fragile item. The moment it fell on the ground, it shattered.
Li Shu’s pupils shrank back and her head snapped up. She glared at Mo Zhi fiercely.
Mo Zhi smiled as he said, “Now are you sad? If you’re sad, then I’m happy.”
Upon hearing this, Li Shu no longer held herself back. She raised her hand.
Bam!
A vicious slap landed across Mo Zhi’s face.
The force of the slap threw his head to the side. He spat a mouthful of blood and looked up to glance at Li Shu. Following this, he threw himself on the ground and landed on the shattered bits.
As he pressed his hands against the shattered jade, they started to bleed.
His actions shocked Li Shu. At this point, Mo Zhi, who had been just a minute ago very smug and arrogant, suddenly burst into tears and cried out, “Mom, why are you treating me like this?”
Li Shu was stunned. Almost immediately, a voice came from the doorway, “What is going on?”
Li Shu’s body stiffened. She turned around and saw Mo Hai walking in.
Mo Hai’s pupils shrank back at once when he saw the scene before him.
Immediately, he dashed up to Mo Zhi and helped the man up from the ground. He noticed the blood on Mo Zhi’s hands and asked, “What’s going on?”
Turning to Li Shu, he started, “He hasn’t recovered yet, you-”
When he saw the cold expression on Li Shu’s face, he stopped short and did not dare continue. He helped Li Shu to the sofa. Then he took the first aid kit and said, “Come, let me help you with the shards.”
As he was about to tend to the fragments, Mo Zhi suddenly embraced the man’s waist and, ignoring everything else, he started sobbing. “Dad, Dad, Dad, it wasn’t me. Mom wanted me to leave and slandered me. Dad, you have to protect me. I don’t wish to live anymore. What is the point of living? Mom accuses me of being a thief. How am I going to face the world?”
Mo Hai was taken aback upon hearing these words and asked, “What happened?”
Li Shu kept silent and looked at Mo Hai, suddenly feeling that everything was such a joke. Her heart grew cold.
Then she looked at the two men before her.
Mo Zhi was now bawling. “Mom said she lost her jade bangle and came to search my apartment. When she couldn’t find it, she took out this bangle and threw it on the ground. Sob, sob. Mom, this was a gift from Grandma, how could you trash it just like that? Mom, just because you want me to leave? Fine, I’ll leave, I’ll leave.”
Li Shu couldn’t help smirking and said to the man, “Leave? Well then, go!”
Mo Zhi paused upon hearing this. He threw a quick glance at Mo Hai, gritted his teeth and stood up to leave.
He took a step and then another. And as he got to the doorway, Mo Hai hollered angrily, “That’s enough!”
Mo Zhi halted and turned around. He saw that Mo Hai was frowning with a troubled and hesitant expression on his face.
Mo Zhi’s eyes flashed and he immediately pretended to faint. He collapsed on the ground.
Mo Hai dashed towards him without a second thought when he saw this. When he dashed past Li Shu, he accidentally knocked her and made her lose balance, so she fell on the ground. In an attempt to stop the fall, her hands landed on the shards.
The sharp fragments cut into her skin.
Right about this time, a tall and broad silhouette suddenly appeared at the doorway. A voice asked, “What’s going on here?”
The obstinate Li Shu suddenly teared up when she heard Mo Xicheng’s voice.
