Chapter 1012: My Turn on The Stage (7)

Mo Xicheng halted. He saw that Madam Mo looked embarrassed at once.

On the outside, Madam Mo came across as a good-natured lady, except that there was a certain melancholy in her eyes.

She and Mo Xicheng’s father were actually a loving couple.

In fact, all of these years, he had paid little attention to Yao Lili.

It was only when he betrayed their marriage many years ago that Madam Mo was cold towards him.

She had a pale complexion because of her poor health.

But even then, she had an aristocratic and elegant air about her. Logically speaking, his mom was a mistress only because of this woman’s existence.

But strangely, Mo Xicheng had never harbored any ill feelings towards Madam Mo. On the contrary, he had an affectionate sort of admiration for her.

Besides, Madam Mo was practically the only person in that household who had ever given him any sense of warmth.

As an illegitimate child, Madam Mo had every reason to despise him.

But he remembered a time in his childhood when he had been ill and his face scarlet with a high fever. His mother had gone out shopping for a new dress to wear on a date with his father.

The young child hadn’t known what to do.

At that time, they had been staying in a small apartment next to the Mo family residence.

He had walked out of the room and, the moment he saw Madam Mo, he had dashed towards her. He had hugged her leg and said, “I feel unwell.”

At that moment, she had looked upon him with an icy expression.

He jumped in fright and released his grip. Then he saw Madam Mo walking away and retreating into her room.

He stood in the courtyard in a daze. After a while, a housekeeper in the household walked out, picked him up and took him to the hospital.

Although it had been the housekeeper who had come to him, he knew that it had been under Madam Mo’s instructions.

Yao Lili had always been afraid of Madam Mo, but he had never felt that she was scary.

At that moment, he saw that she was standing there looking rather awkward.

Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and pretended that he didn’t know her. He walked to the side and took out his cell phone to make a call.

Madam Mo silently sighed in relief.

Old Liu glanced at Mo Xicheng and then looked at Madam Mo apologetically. “Looks like I was mistaken, you don’t know each other! But Li Shu, what brings you to Hengdian?”

Li Shu was Madam Mo’s maiden name.

It was an elegant name. But to begin with, she had never dolled herself up glamorously like many of her high society counterparts. Instead, she had the air of an academic.

She was a well-known writer in fact.

In answer to his question, she lowered her gaze and said, “To take in the scenery and take some pictures.”

Old Liu nodded. The two of them exchanged a few more words before he parted ways with her.

After he was gone, Mo Xicheng, who had hidden in a corner, came out of the shadows and walked to Madam Mo slowly.

He looked at her and spoke respectfully, “What brings you here and how could I help you?”

Madam Mo cast her gaze down and said, “Firstly, I do apologize on behalf of Mo Zhi.”

That opening statement at once triggered mixed feelings in him.

In order to please his father, his own mother had always pandered to Mo Zhi and berated him.

Madam Mo, however, had her principles.

All things considered, although she would protect her own son, Mo Xicheng felt that at the very least she respected him.

His nose suddenly felt congested, like a wronged child confronted by his parent.

It was strange that he felt like this.
