Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank back at his words .
But Mo Zhi was already in a discussion with his father, “Dad, you must not regret this . I’m telling you, this deal has to be sealed today! Otherwise, if Mo Xicheng does anything to betray the ugly monster, the Shi family will hold us accountable . And Dad, just to remind you, isn’t our company trying to form strategic ties with the Shi family and join forces with them? You must not soften your heart . ”
Dad Mo listened to this with his head lowered . He glanced at Mo Zhi and nodded, “Ok, since there is a crowd here today, we should at least get this out and make it official . We can pave the way for a smoother future like this . ”
Mo Zhi immediately nodded .
Dad Mo lifted his gaze and glanced at Mo Xicheng . Then he said, “You, come with me!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xicheng hung his head .
It had been like this since he had been a child .
In the eyes of Dad Mo and Mo Zhi, he was less than a human being . He was only an object .
They had never sought his opinions before making any decisions for him .
And they would also not ask him whether he liked it .
Perhaps, Dad Mo had never thought of him as his son?
At this thought, he started walking and followed Dad Mo .
Indeed, they had to seal this before the crowd today .
Then, when Nianyao appeared later, Mo Zhi wouldn’t be able to go back on his word even if he wanted to .
Hence, he might as well beat him at his own game .
Mo Xicheng obediently followed his father as the man made his way through the crowd and went right up to Shi Jinyan, who was entertaining some of the attendees .
Shi Jinyan looked every bit the traditional confucian merchant .
With years of experience behind him, he had grown matured and composed .
Upon hearing a small commotion, he turned around and saw the men who had approached him . His eyes fell on Mo Xicheng at once .
Mo Xicheng couldn’t help but feel all the pressure that was emanating from his heavy gaze .
He held Shi Jinyan’s stare steadily and looked into the man’s eyes .
His manner was neither servile nor overbearing and, in addition, Mo Xicheng had a steady character . Shi Jinyan was pleased with what he saw and a satisfied expression came over his face .
He knew his own daughter well, hence, when she said she liked Mo Xicheng, then it definitely wasn’t because of the man’s good looks . It had to be his character .
It seemed that, at the very least, he didn’t have the furtiveness of an illegitimate son .
One had to understand that many youngsters did not pass his visual assessment .
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Dad Mo had already started speaking, “Mr . Shi, although this son of mine has never stood out since he was little, he doesn’t look too bad! He’s a perfect match for your daughter, don’t you think?”
As these words were spoken, Shi Jinyan noted that the people around were already turning their attention to them .
Immediately, he knew what Dad Mo was leading up to . He walked towards Dad Mo and patted Mo Xicheng on the shoulder, saying, “He will surpass us in the time to come . ”
These words were a sterling appraisal of the young man .
The people around had started to congratulate them, “Young Master Mo and Ms . Shi, they must be a perfect match!”
“That’s right . Look at Young Master Mo’s presence . We hear that your families are about to become in-laws, when’s the wedding banquet?!”
Dad Mo quickly said, “No hurry, no hurry! We… will have to wait for Mr . Shi to release his daughter . ”
The exchanges were extremely joyous .
Seeing this situation, Mo Zhi was most gleeful .
Now that news of the intended marriage was out and everyone knew, he had severed all associations with that ugly monster .
But where was Shi Nianyao?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly heard the emcee speak, “And now, let’s welcome Ms . Shi!”
At these words, every pair of eyes in the crowd lifted, as did the spotlight, and focused on the second floor .
Shortly, a silhouette appeared .
The moment he saw the silhouette, Mo Zhi froze . Wasn’t that… Shi Nianyao?!
