Chapter 1010  : My Turn on The Stage (5)

With a mother like that, it was no wonder Mo Xicheng hadn’t dared to date anyone.

Whoever he married would have ended up with a huge burden.

Shi Nianyao turned to look at Mo Xicheng with a shocked expression, the pain in her heart reflected in her eyes.

She bit her lip and understood now why Mo Xicheng had always held her at arm’s length.

It was true that he really had never thought of dating anyone, or marrying anyone, or having children. He was prepared to be single all his life.

This explained his unrestrained attitude towards life, his indifference, his… melancholy.

Whereas Yao Lili had totally missed the point of Mo Xicheng’s words. Instead, she looked at everyone in the room in turn and said, “It’s best you understand that you’re the son of the Mo family and in future, you’ll have to ensure a strategic marriage. This woman is a commoner, so it’s not possible for you to be together. And I’ve said what I’ve come here to tell you, so I’ll leave now. Remember, if anyone from the Mo family comes to talk to you, you won’t agree! And this woman… break up as soon as possible!”

With this, she left.

The room door was thrown open and left like that.

It seemed that this person had no idea what it meant to be civilized.

A few curious passers-by had gathered outside the opened door.

Their gaze fell on Mo Xicheng’s face

It was good the hotpot restaurant did not allow taking pictures or filming, otherwise this would have made it to the internet.

There was a dead silence in the private room.

Until Shen Liangchuan suddenly grabbed Qiao Lian’s wrist and said to Mo Xicheng, “We’d better leave first.”

Mo Xicheng nodded.

Pulling Qiao Lian behind him, Shen Liangchuan walked out of the room and, in a considerate move, shut the door behind him.

Walking along the street in Hengdian together.

Qiao Lian was still in shock, unable to come to terms with what had just happened. “How could such a selfish mother even exist? Why does Mo Xicheng tolerate her?”

Shen Liangchuan looked at Qiao Lian and replied, “Because that’s his mother. The mother who brought him up from when he was a baby till he became an adult. And even if there is nothing left of their mother-son relationship, legally he still has to support her.”

He narrowed his eyes, looked ahead of him and continued, “His mother loves his father a lot. It seems that when they were young, she almost lost her life trying to save his father. This is also the reason why the Mo family acknowledges and accepts their existence.”

Qiao Lian was curious. “So does his father love his mother?”

Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened at this question. “I don’t know.”

He added immediately, “If I love a woman, I would never allow her to have no status, live with ambiguity, or to become a laughing stock.”

Qiao Lian understood immediately what he meant.

Perhaps, Dad Mo didn’t really love Mom Mo and only treated them this well because he was grateful she had saved his life.

But it was also because of this that Mom Mo felt all the more inferior. Not only was she unable to live with her head held high before Dad Mo and Madam Mo, even before their son, they had to lower themselves.

And all of this only because she hungered for some affection and attention from Dad Mo.

This woman was indeed a sad person.

Did she not know that she was ruining Mo Xicheng’s life like this?!

Qiao Lian frowned as she turned back to look at the hotpot restaurant.

She wondered what Mo Xicheng could possibly be saying to Shi Nianyao right now.

Hopefully, Shi Nianyao wouldn’t wake up with a broken heart tomorrow.

In the private room.

Shi Nianyao bit her lip and surveyed the food on the dining table.
