Chapter 1370: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (43)
Casting his gaze down, Mo Xicheng said with indifference, “I’m an adult.”
“Even if you’re an adult, you’re my son! Do you want to be the death of me? Huh?”
The man sighed and said, “What are you talking about?”
“Well, you come home right away, I’m telling you. I feel pain in my chest and it hurts badly. I don’t know if I’m getting a heart attack again. Mo Xicheng, you come home.”
He hung his head helplessly and replied, “Fine, I’ll come home now.”
He drove home and when he arrived, Yao Lili was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a weary expression on her face. There was no warmth in this house, it was simply cold and impersonal.
Indeed, she didn’t look well. Mo Xicheng frowned as he looked for the emergency pills. He found them, got a glass of water and held these out to her.
Yao Lili took the medicine and then said as she looked at her son, “Your father will never come here. I’ve lived alone here for so many years. To him, I’m only an ornament.”
Mo Xicheng kept silent.
Suddenly, Yao Lili gripped his hand tightly and said nervously, “Xicheng, don’t get angry at me for nagging. I’d like you to move home and stay with me, is that alright? We’ve been living apart for so long, I get lonely being home alone every day.”
“Your father has his own family and his partner, he has his own children. Whereas I- I only have you.”
He felt numb hearing these words.
Because she had said them countless times over the years.
But this woman was his mother, so he had to hear her out.
–
At the hotel, Shi Nianyao had followed Shi Xun to the underground parking. Shi Nianyao was fretting over Shi Xun’s sudden change in attitude towards Mo Xicheng.
She looked at Shi Xun, tilting her head with curiosity, and asked, “Big Brother—”
“Shut up.”
She fell silent at once.
He snorted icily.
It was late and traffic was smooth for Shi Xun. They arrived at Shi Xun’s villa half an hour later.
Shi Nianyao stared at him and coughed awkwardly. She said, “Big Brother, I think it might be better for me to go home. Sister-in-law and Little Cherry are asleep. It’s not a good idea for me to go in now. What if I wake them?
Shi Xun immediately replied, “It’s fine. You’ll stay here.”
“Why?”
Shi Xun gave her an impassive look and said, “I won’t have you turning around and running back to Mo Xicheng the moment you leave. Then I’d have been running around for nothing tonight.”
Shi Nianyao: …
She followed Shi Xun as they headed into the house. “Big Brother, how did you know I was in that hotel?!”
“Have you forgotten who owns that property?” Shi Xun replied.
She was taken aback for a moment and suddenly, a look of realization crossed her face. “Is that our family’s property?”
“It belongs to the Si family.”
Shi Nianyao: …
Shi Xun halted as he turned around and remarked, “I supposed you don’t even know which properties our business owns? From tomorrow onwards, you’ll come into the office as an intern. No more hanging out and fooling around.”
“Big Brother—” she started to protest.
“Get in.”
Obediently, she walked into the house.
She thought that it was going to be a sleepless night, for her naggy big brother would surely give her an earful.
But to her surprise, Shi Xun threw her a glance and then said, “Go to bed early.”
Shi Nianyao: …!
What?
Was the storm over?
Her eyes followed Shi Xun as he made his way to the master bedroom. She was stunned.
Her brother was letting her off easy today?
What exactly had Mo Xicheng told her big brother?
