You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1429: He Is My Son (2)

She had given that woman’s child a life of luxury and brought him up meticulously, but what about Mo Xicheng?

She recalled the little Mo Xicheng, how he had crouched on the floor shivering.

She recalled that countless evenings coming home from work, she would spot the little child carrying a basin to do his laundry. When he heard the sound of the car engine, he would run to that fence between the two courtyards and through it, he would stare intently at her.

She would obviously see him, but she would pretend not to.

Even during that one time...

He saw her bring a toy sports car back for Mo Zhi. Mo Xicheng stood at the fence, staring at the toy sports car with his clear and dark eyes.

That was when she realized that Mo Xicheng didn’t have many toys.

But she had chosen to ignore this.

Later, Mo Zhi lost his toy sports car.

He claimed that Mo Xicheng had stolen it.

At the time, Yao Lili had cried and wailed, saying that Mo Xicheng had stolen the toy sports car because he didn’t have any toys.

Subsequently, Mo Xicheng came up to them and, holding the toy sports car very carefully, he passed it to Mo Zhi.

But Mo Zhi extended his arms and pushed Mo Xicheng on the ground.

Mo Xicheng looked at Mo Zhi blankly. Then Mo Zhi pointed at him and yelled, “You bastard! Thief!”

Mo Xicheng immediately shook his head and said, “I’m not a thief, I’m not a thief. I found the toy car!”

Mo Zhi would not accept it and continued to berate the boy.

Finally, Yao Lili didn’t think twice and whacked her son hard on his bottom.

Mo Xicheng bit his lip but did not cry.

When this happened, Li Shu had thought that the child was too stubborn and she didn’t like him.

After this episode, she accidentally found the surveillance footage and discovered the truth of what had happened.

It was Mo Zhi who had taken the toy car to play in the garden. When he left the garden, he had left the toy car there. But Mo Xicheng had seen it and had quietly approached it. He had wiped it carefully and, with the same amount of care, had studied the car intently. He had placed it on the ground and played with it for a few seconds. Then he had picked it up again and had wiped the wheels.

He stood there holding the toy car, looking up once in a while at Mo Zhi, who was in the distance, as though waiting for him to come back for it.

Holding the car, he sat in the tall grass and eventually fell asleep.

When he woke up, he took the car and walked away.

The instant that he handed the toy car back to Mo Zhi, he was smiling with relief.

But what followed...

It was through that incident that Li Shu had first felt something special for Mo Xicheng.

She had suddenly found that she no longer hated or disliked him.

Although after much consideration, she still did not clarify things for him.

These scenes from the past flashed before her eyes and it only made Li Shu feel as though there was a sharp knife plunged into her heart, causing a raw pain.

It was so painful her tears started to flow.

The grievances this child had suffered, the child that was beaten was hers... He was her own son.

The pain was so unbearable that she found herself unable to breathe. Tears blurred her vision and she could not see clearly as she stood there.

She clenched her fists tightly and had the strongest urge to charge into the ward and strangle Yao Lili to death.

But at this point, a nurse passed by. When she saw LIshu, she asked, “Madam, what’s the matter?”

Li Shu snapped out of her daze at the sound of those words. The two people in the ward also suddenly realized there was someone at the door.
