Chapter 1074: Two Men Vying For A Lady (6)
Mo Zhi nodded when he heard this.
Dad Mo patted the boy on his shoulder and said, “Alright, you have to go tomorrow. Otherwise, I’m suspending your allowance for next month.”
Mo Zhi finally panicked when he heard this and said, “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll go, ok?”
After walking out of the study, Mo Zhi humphed loudly and muttered, “That piece of rubbish, the daughter of the Shi family, I’m sure she’s ugly! That’s just forcing things on me.”
At this thought, a crease appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, he gave himself a light slap on the head and thought, “Isn’t Mo Xicheng back?”
His eyes turned once.
Dad would surely not hand the Mo family business to Mo Xicheng, and Mo Xicheng, that man of inferior quality, would also not dare to challenge him for that position.
With Yao Lili’s help, on top of the support from Mom and Dad, Mo Xicheng would never have the authority to succeed in the Mo family.
Hence, Dad’s thinking was completely off-track.
He should Mo Xicheng marry that ugly woman to still have the support of the Shi family. This is what a strategic marriage meant.
As for himself, of course he wanted a gentle and caring beauty for a wife.
At this thought, Mo Zhi immediately got excited. He picked up his cell phone and called Mo Xicheng.
The line connected and Mo Xicheng’s voice sounded on the other end, “Hello.”
“Hey, are you back in Beijing?”
Mo Xicheng paused. “Uh huh.”
Mo Zhi said immediately, “Tomorrow, at Beijing Grand Hotel. Come over at noon.”
Mo Xicheng, who had just arrived home and unpacked his belongings, was sitting on the sofa now and frowned as he heard this. He asked, “Why? What’s up?”
“Why do you ask so many questions? Just turn up as you’re told!”
Mo Xicheng said at once, “I’m busy.”
“You—”
Mo Xicheng had already hung up.
Shortly after, the cell phone rang again.
Looking down at the screen and seeing it was Mo Zhi, he frowned and refused to pick up the call.
Mo Zhi, however, would not stop trying.
Finally picking up the call, he asked, “What exactly do you want?”
“Go to Beijing Grand Hotel. If you don’t turn up, I’ll call Yao Lili! Think about it. If she turns up and does anything embarrassing, it’s out of my hands.”
Mo Xicheng frowned.
“Are you coming?”
The man cast his gaze down and finally agreed, “Fine.”
“You could have agreed from the start, couldn’t you? But you made me threaten you with calling Yao Lili. Mo Xicheng, let me tell you, I’m your older brother. You’d better obey me and, since we are brothers, I’ll make sure you get some benefits. Otherwise—”
Before he could finish, Mo Xicheng had hung up.
He tossed the cell phone aside, raised his hand and massaged his temples.
Then he raised his head and slumped into the sofa.
When would days like this ever come to an end?
All he wanted was a simple life.
He didn’t lack money, he only wanted to draw a clean line between himself and the Mo family.
He shut his eyes, feeling lonesome and exhausted. The cell phone suddenly rang with a notification.
He paused for a moment and then picked it up. It was a WeChat voice message from Shi Nianyao. Clicking to open the message, her voice played on the phone speaker, “Idol, have you showered? Go to bed early after you’ve showered. Remember that every day is a new day! And remember to smile every day.”
Her warm voice and sweet tone calmed his restlessness immediately.
Indeed.
Every day was a new beginning, so he should face life with a smile.
Who knew? Maybe at the whatever hotel tomorrow, there would be some sort of surprise.
