1390: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (63)

Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (63)

Yao Lili, on the other hand, leaned back on her bed and stared straight ahead, as though she was overcome by grief.0

She said after a brief silence, "Ms. Yao, I have to apologize for the ridiculous situation I created before. It was my misjudgment."

"All these years, I've been selfish and never spared a thought for Xicheng. I liked his father Mo Hai so much that I refused to leave the Mo family. And I just didn't think that it would do him so much harm."

As she spoke, she dabbed at her tears and continued. "I wanted Mo Xicheng to have a good education, so I did something shameless, not caring if that was what he wanted. I didn't let him surpass Mo Zhi academically, but I never considered his feelings in doing so. Sob, sob, I have failed as a mother."

As she said this, she lowered her head and started to cry.

"I am not targeting you, Ms. Shi. You are pretty, well brought up, with a good background, how could I possibly dislike anything about you? It's just that I didn't want the two brothers to fall out or have a disagreement over you, but that's just me being naive. I just didn't want any sort of argument at any point of time, so I never really considered his sincerity and feelings towards you. And it looks like he really likes you, so much so that he doesn't want to acknowledge his own mother anymore."

Shi Nianyao listened to the crying woman and sighed in her own heart. Looking at Yao Lili, she said after a pause, "Auntie Yao, don't cry. We can talk things over calmly."

As long as she changed for the better and could come to her senses, Shi Nianyao knew that Mo Xicheng would want to get along with her harmoniously.

After all, she was the only family Mo Xicheng had.

Hence Shi Nianyao sighed again.

Yao Lili was crying harder now. "You don't understand, you don't understand. Yao Yao, he will not forgive me. He was so determined when he left today. I panicked when I saw how he was. I know I made a mistake."

"Yao Yao, tell me, do you think he hates me?"

Shi Nianyao could only sigh in response.

Why did people only learn to treasure something after they have lost it?

She looked at Yao Lili and said, "Auntie, don't worry. As long as you have a good chat with Mo Xicheng, I believe things will be fine between the two of you."

When Yao Lili heard this, she looked up at Shi Nianyao blankly and asked, "Is that true?"

Shi Nianyao nodded.

Yao Lili then gasped briefly before she stopped crying.

She dried her eyes and looked at Shi Nianyao with a guilt-ridden expression, saying, "Yao Yao, could you get me a glass of water?"

Shi Nianyao walked to the side to get a disposable cup and filled it. Then she passed this over to the woman.

Yao Lili took two sips before she looked at Shi Nianyao and said, "Oh, look at me. You've been here for a while and I didn't even offer you a drink. Let me get you some water."

She made a move to get out of her bed.

Shi Nianyao quickly said, "Auntie, there's no need. Really, I'm fine."

"No, no, I—"

Shi Nianyao could only say, "Then let me get one myself."

Yao Lili nodded.

Shi Nianyao walked to the side again and took another disposable cup to pour herself some water. She obligingly took two sips and sat back down onto the sofa, saying, "Is there anything else, Auntie?"
