You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1617: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (90)

As he wallowed in his sorrow, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He looked down at the screen and realized it was a call from home. He picked up the call. As he did so, he heard the butler’s voice, “Sir, bad news. Young master Mo Zhi has disappeared!”

Mo Hai froze for a moment and asked, “What do you mean disappeared?”

“We locked him in the servant’s quarter but after a while, we found the windows open and he was missing.”

Mo Hai was stunned. He came to the realization that the boy may have run away because he was worried about what he might do to him.

So in his heart, no one could be trusted.

At this thought, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness engulf him.

All his life, the one woman he had loved the most was Li Shu, and Mo Zhi was his most beloved son.

But in the end, both had left him.

Now he was alone, sitting in his car in solitude, looking at the skies above him.

In this vast and boundless sea of people, he felt lost.

He started up his car, spun it around and drove away.

As he drove along the streets, he suddenly spotted a giant LCD screen on a building ahead. It was broadcasting an advertisement that Mo Xicheng had endorsed.

It felt as though the man’s gloomy eyes were looking right through him, into his heart, from the screen. He froze.

Mo Xicheng.

When he took a closer look, he realized that Mo Xicheng actually had his features.

Even though he had grown up under Yao Lili’s care, the man’s inner quality and temperament weren’t something Yao Lili could have fostered.

This son was an excellent young man, an extremely fine young man.

In fact, he was so excellent that in the past, he had feared that this boy would return to the family and fight Mo Zhi for the family estate.

He had every reason to be proud of such a son.

Just like how he had participated in the parents’ meetings when Mo Zhi was young and had envied the parents of those students who excelled in their studies, dancing, or other areas.

At that time, he would often wish that Mo Zhi would excel at something and gave him a reason to be a proud parent, even for a little while.

But this thinking had obviously not been realistic.

Back then, he would inevitably spot Mo Xicheng.

The boy would sit at his desk in the back row, without his parents, without anyone to accompany him. He would sit with a lowered head, earnestly doing his homework, completely unaffected by what was going on around him.

He thought about how Mo Xicheng would always score 60 points in his exams.

He actually understood that, while it was easy to fail an exam, just as it was easy to ace it, scoring exactly 60 points consistently was quite a feat.

This showed that Mo Xicheng had a good grasp of the questions asked.

For someone like him, it would have never been a problem to become top of the class every year.

Even the teacher had told him this in private.

But Mo Hai had never taken it to heart.

He even knew that this had been an act of retaliation on Mo Xicheng’s part since he hadn’t let the boy fare better than Mo Zhi. Hence, scoring 60 points consistently for all subjects was just a demonstration of his pride and stubbornness.

And now...

He finally had to face it.

If the babies had not been swapped, then the parent who would have been on stage delivering a speech and sharing the experience of bringing up a highly-achieving child would have been himself.

And by now, he would have also been able to stand proudly before this LCD screen, telling everyone that Mo Xicheng was his son.
