The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 878 - 882: A Bit of Wishful Thinking

She might be missing her mom.

Nolan Mingyu’s fingers slightly tightened around the teacup, and she smiled faintly, "Missing her mom... didn’t her mom pass away many years ago? I heard she died when Mo Shu was very young, and later, you remarried?"

Mo Jiantao mentioned the past, still very embarrassed, "That is indeed the case, it’s a bit awkward to say, I had a political marriage with my daughter’s mom, back then I was young and reckless, liked to play around... maybe she simply couldn’t take it."

"So that’s how it is," Nolan Mingyu’s gaze deepened, "But that was a long time ago, Princess Mo lost her mom when she was so little, why didn’t you have a good relationship with her?"

Mo Jiantao felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "Because she believes that her mom’s death was my fault."

"So, she resents you?"

"Probably." Mo Jiantao gave a bitter smile.

Nolan Mingyu looked at him, her smile becoming more and more faint, finally putting down the teacup, "A child who lost their mother most yearns for family affection, especially their father’s love, yet, you remarried at that time?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Mo Jiantao’s heart skipped a beat, he quickly explained, "I didn’t have a good relationship with her mom to begin with, Mo Shu was raised by her mom, so every day she heard her mom talk about what was wrong with me, there’s no way the daughter would be close to me."

Nolan Mingyu was very calm, "So that’s how it is."

Mo Jiantao felt uneasy inside.

Nolan Mingyu smiled slightly, "It seems Princess Mo sees me as your girlfriend or something like that, and even said I’m a substitute for her mom. Aren’t you going to explain that?"

Mo Jiantao quickly said, "How could you be a substitute for anyone? An explanation is definitely needed. Although our relationship isn’t good, we are still father and daughter after all, it’s not as bad as you imagine, she towards me..."

Mo Jiantao suddenly thought about the time she had someone break his leg to stop his outbursts, his words paused, but he finally continued against his conscience, "She treats me with a lot of filial respect."

Nolan Mingyu laughed, "That’s good."

Mo Jiantao nodded with difficulty, "She’s still very well-behaved."

Though this adjective ’well-behaved’ really doesn’t relate to Mo Shu at all, as a father, how could he possibly badmouth his daughter in front of others?

If Nolan Mingyu, who lost her spouse, got along well with him, she might accept him, possibly becoming Mo Shu’s new stepmom. If Nolan Mingyu had a bad impression of Mo Shu, it would be hard to manage.

Mo Jiantao felt he was truly thoughtful, very understanding.

Just a bit overly wishful thinking.

Mo Shu went to another room, building up a stomach full of anger along the way. Before sitting down, she barked at Yu Siqiao, "What does that idiot Mo Jiantao mean? Huh? Finding someone who looks so much like my mom, and also like me, does he want her to take me out someday, thinking we’re real mother and daughter?"

Yu Siqiao stood by her side, helping her calm down, "Don’t get worked up, have some water."

Just then, Ji Nan handed over a glass of water, Yu Siqiao gently patted her back, comforting her, "Take a sip."

Mo Shu didn’t want to drink, but Yu Siqiao placed it right at her lips, so Mo Shu reluctantly took a sip, then pushed it away, fuming, "He really dislikes Sha Ling, doesn’t he? Isn’t he disgusted by that face when he sees it?"
