Chapter 1630  : Epilogue (3)

Big Belly was reluctant to let Mo Zhi go and, afraid that something would happen to him, he had a lawyer on standby.

The lawyer explained the details to Mo Zhi. “The estate belongs to Mo Hai and has nothing to do with you. You said you were cheated out of your shares, but Mo Xicheng had reasons enough to justify this. In addition, at the time, you signed the agreement yourself, so it’s hard to get past this. Also, you said you had the legal right to inherit Mo Hai’s estate. Yes, that is true, but that inheritance will only happen upon Mo Hai’s death. Now the man is alive, so you have no valid reason to ask for money from him. Besides, as far as I’m aware, Mo Hai has started to transfer his assets to Mo Xicheng. In other words, even if Mo Hai dies now, it could very well be that everything will go to Mo Xicheng.”

Mo Zhi was speechless with fury.

He stared at the lawyer, his hands shaking. Then after a moment, he said, “Why?! I’ve always been Mo Hai’s favourite son. He never cared about Mo Xicheng whatsoever, why is he treating me like this?!”

The lawyer sighed and said, “I’ve asked around about this. My guess is that he’s doing it for Li Shu’s sake. You should know how much he loves that woman.”

The lawyer was an elderly man, hence he had gathered a lot of experience. He said, “At the time, in order to conquer your mother, he did things that shocked our circle. Anything you can think of, he did, and he was finally successful. After all these years, I’m sure you can see the feelings he has for your mother. Hence he will go with whatever Li Shu says. Where this matter is concerned, rather than plead with Mo Hai, why don’t you just plead with Li Shu? If she says you should get the money, Mo Hai will not say no. After all, you grew up under both their care, so Li Shu must have some feelings for you. There’s only one thing you can do now. That is to cry and plead with Li Shu, ask her for the money. Cry and let her know how pitiful you are.”

Cry in front of Li Shu?

Impossible!

Mo Zhi clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes.

After a moment, he said, “I’ll try then.”

Having said this, he lowered his head and fell silent.

After the lawyer left, Mo Zhi looked at Big Belly and said, “I still think that there’s a chance for things to take a turn. If this matter blows up, the Shi family will also look bad. Don’t forget that Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng are engaged! Even if the Mo family doesn’t care about their own reputation, would they not consider the Shi family’s reputation?”

Upon those words, Big Belly looked at him pitifully and said, “Have you still not gotten it clear in your head which type of people you can least afford to offend in Beijing?”

Mo Zhi was stumped. “What?”

Big Belly sighed and continued, “There are many wealthy and powerful families and I don’t have to go into details, but you ought to be very well-informed of the Shi family’s background. When have they ever been afraid of anything? If the reporters in the circle know that the Shi family is implicated in this, who do you think will dare report it?! You’re as smart as bait. Sigh, it’s no wonder you ended up with nothing. That you were able to survive till now with your IQ level, Mo Hai must have put in every ounce of effort he had!”

Mo Zhi started to cry upon hearing this. “So what do I do now? I have nothing to my name. What do I do?!”

Big Belly patted him on the shoulder and said, “The only thing you can do now is to look for Li Shu!”
