“Ugly?”
Gu Li widened her eyes. At this moment, she sincerely wondered if this man was completely blind. If not, how could he say such words about her, the little fairy that was loved by people and that could make flowers bloom?
This was simply…
He deserved to be single!
Mo Shiting’s eyes sharply turned toward Sally, who was standing by. “Don’t you have any high-necked ones?”
Sally, startled, immediately responded, “We do have a piece that is the treasure of our shop. I will fetch it for Young Madam to try on right away.”
Oh my, so it wasn’t that he found it unattractive, but that Young Master Mo didn’t want his wife to be seen by others.
Haha, she had misunderstood.
No sooner had Sally left than Gu Li could not help but say, “I’m sure that the treasure of the shop is quite expensive. Why don’t we forget it? I think the one I’m wearing is pretty good.”
Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow at her. “You think I can’t afford it?”
Gu Li gave a dry laugh. “Of course not. There’s nothing in this world that you, Young Master Mo, cannot afford. I was just worried about you overspending. Hehehe.”
Before she had finished speaking, Sally had already brought the clothes, and was concurrently introducing them, “This dress is made with a very complex embroidery process and adorned with 108 top-grade natural pearls. It is elegant without losing its luxury. Young Madam will look absolutely beautiful in it.”
“Thank you. Then I’ll go try it on.”
Gu Li, with a smile, cooperated.
Although the design of this dress was not the most stunning compared to others, as soon as Gu Li put it on, it seemed as if it were custom made for her. It was attractively perfect.
“Oh my god, this is too beautiful.”
Not only was Sally startled. Some of the other shop assistants could not help but gasp.
If it weren’t for Mo Shiting’s strong presence, they all thought about going closer to appreciate her.
“How is it?”
Gu Li, quite pleased with it herself, turned to look at Mo Shiting.
Mo Shiting moved his gaze away from her. “This one will do.”
Having said that, he pulled out a black card and handed it to the store manager without asking about the price.
Meanwhile, Gu Li glanced at the payment record on the card machine and was scared by the astronomical price.
It was painful.
…
Mo Shiting’s grandmother, Song Xiyue, came from the prestigious Song Family. She had been living separately from Old Master Mo since she was young. They hadn’t divorced or reconciled in many years, and had been living in her maternal family home all along.
She was a famous iron lady in the business world. With her own strength, she brought the Song Corporation back from the brink of bankruptcy. Its market value increased several times, thus making her very respected within the family.
Additionally, since she had stopped dealing with Mo Family affairs long ago, outsiders generally honored her as Mrs. Song.
Seven o’clock in the evening, Song Residence.
To celebrate Mrs. Song’s 70th birthday, the entire mansion was decorated with joy. The hall was filled with guests who had come to express their blessings.
The men raised their glasses, chatted animatedly; the women, on the other hand, gathered around her.
Mrs. Song, though old, still had an aura as strong as before.
She was surrounded by a group of high-status ladies, and a faint smile was always upheld on her well-maintained face.
It was apparent that she was in a pretty good mood, until someone mentioned Mo Shiting…
“Mrs. Song, I heard that Young Master Mo got married. Congratulations! We wonder which family’s heiress the bride is. There wasn’t any news about this beforehand.”
The speaker was the wife of a congressman.
Upon this, Song Xiyue’s expression changed slightly, and as she pursed her lips, another lady began to chatter, “What? Young Master Mo got married? What will Miss Yunsi do then? I always thought they would be together.”
“Miss Yunsi is both talented and beautiful, she and Young Master Mo are simply a perfect couple. It’s such a pity they didn’t end up together.”
“When will Young Master Mo arrive? We should be able to meet his wife tonight, right?”
“And Miss Yunsi?”
“It seems she’s abroad and hasn’t returned yet.”
…
These gossipy topics were always the most interesting for the women, especially when the two main figures were well-known golden boy and jade girl in the upper-class society. Once they started talking, they couldn’t stop.
Seeing these people’s words getting sharper and sharper, the face of Mrs. Song became increasingly grim.
