BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1543
Mo Xicheng froze on the spot.
He stared at the screen steadily, grasping the content displayed on the TV. He looked at the person on the screen with his eyes widened in disbelief.
He clenched his fists tightly. He had not expected that Yao Lili would actually appear on TV and publicly announce her status.
And on TV now, she was saying, “I made a mistake in my youth and bore this child. I wasn’t ready and was weak. I didn’t dare to raise him alone, so I brought him back to the Mo family. It was Madam Mo who showed me generosity and allowed us to stay with them for many years.”
“I’ve always been grateful to the Mo family and have never thought of meddling in the family. Besides, after that one accident, I have never been with him again.”
“I do feel guilty, I shouldn’t have broken up their family.”
After she said this, a reporter asked, “Madam Yao, since you feel guilty, why didn’t you take your child and leave? Or leave the child with them and leave by yourself?”
Yao Lili’s tears started flowing as she replied, “I’m just someone from a small village and we are conservative. The villagers value reputation and moral integrity. Mr. Mo and I had an inappropriate relationship, so they would talk about me behind my back if I went back to the village and it would have embarrassed my parents. I didn’t dare to go home and didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t educated and I’m quite illiterate. As for abandoning my child with the Mo family, how would I bear to do that to my own child?”
She lowered her head and wiped her tears with her sleeve, like a lost and innocent impoverished woman from a desolate outskirt village. Looking at the reporters, she gestured with her hand and said, “I really did not intend to ruin Mr. Mo and his family. All that time, I lived next door to their house with Mo Xicheng. Otherwise, Mr. Mo and Madam Mo would not be still together today.”
“I will always remember their kindness. Especially Mrs. Mo. Although she was upset that I had interrupted their family life, eventually she saw how abiding I was. She was generous and magnanimous toward my son and I. Mo Xicheng went to the same school as the young master of the Mo family. But after graduation, Mo Xicheng went into show business.”
Another reporter asked immediately, “You mentioned that you’re calling a press conference because you have something to tell us. May I know what you wish to tell us?”
Upon hearing this question, Yao Lili slowly raised her head and looked steadily at the reporters. She bit her lip and kept quiet for a long time to create suspense. Then she suddenly buried her face in her hands.
Her tears seeped through the spaces between her fingers as she cried. “I- I didn’t think that Mo Xicheng would fall for the luxury of show business, but he has now started to fight the young master of the Mo family for the family estate. Madam Mo is a kind soul, so thinking that because he’s also the son of Mr. Mo, they gave him 30 percent share of the company shares. But he is not satisfied, and after joining the company, he has been making things difficult for Young Master Mo. Young Master Mo cares about his family and his brother, whereas Mo Xicheng has been completely blinded by wealth and power. His thinking has been clouded over by the prospects of money.”
