Leave Mo Shiting?
How can this be!
She had just reluctantly started a marriage with him. If she leaves him now, he’ll surely die.
Gu Li glanced at her and asked casually, “Who might you be?”
“You… don’t know me?”
Qiu Yuxin widened her eyes in disbelief.
She was a top-tier celebrity in the country, a leading actress in countless hit dramas. How could someone not recognize her?
Was she pretending?!
Thinking of this, she sneered, “Well, you can play pretend.”
Gu Li was silent. “Should I know you?”
“You… ”
Qiu Yuxin almost choked with frustration, “Fine! But Shen Yunsi, you should definitely know! She’s the childhood sweetheart of Young Master Mo and the only granddaughter-in-law that Mrs. Song approves of!”
Shen Yunsi was her best friend. Coming to Lady Song’s birthday feast tonight was specifically to give Gu Li a piece of her mind.
“Oh.”
She didn’t know her.
“And then?”
Gu Li countered.
She had done her research. Mo Shiting hadn’t had any girlfriends. Was this woman here to cause trouble for Shen Yunsi?
Or was the information wrong?
“You’re nothing but a little nobody who can never make it. What makes you think you can compete with Yunsi? I’d advise you to learn your place and run back to where you came from!”
After giving her warning, Qiu Yuxin glared at her disdainfully.
Gu Li let out a chuckle: “Why would I want to compete with her? Those so-called childhood sweethearts and ex-girlfriends, even if they existed, are things of the past. What’s written in Mo Shiting’s spouse column now is my name.”
Besides, when it comes talking about childhood sweethearts, she wasn’t necessarily worse than anyone else. After all, Brother Ting and she were…
“You…”
Qiu Yuxin was caught off guard by her sharp tongue and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.
And at that moment—
“Ladies and gentlemen, please move towards the stage…”
The magnetic voice of the host drew everyone’s attention to the center of the banquet hall.
Seeing that Mo Shiting and Mrs. Song had already left the study, and were now standing at the side of the stage, Gu Li was about to join them. But she was held back by Qiu Yuxin, “Do you know what Mrs. Song is going to do next? She’s going to announce the establishment of a charity fund named after Yunsi and Young Master Mo. If I were you, I wouldn’t rush to embarrass myself. Mrs. Song will never accept you. There’s no good outcome for you and Young Master Mo!”
Gu Li casually brushed her hand away, “Thank you for reminding me.”
Without paying any further attention to Qiu Yuxin’s ranting, she stepped away decisively.
Gu Li didn’t take the matter of the charity fund mentioned by Qiu Yuxin to heart. However, when she saw Mrs. Song step on stage to announce the establishment of the “Shi Yun Charity Foundation”, she felt a vague sense of unease.
Maybe it was just the discomfort of being publicly rebuffed?
But did she have any right to mind?
This marriage was, after all, her own calculation…
Not wanting to linger in the hall, Gu Li went out to the garden for some fresh air.
She sat swinging on the swing for a long while, but Mo Shiting did not come to find her. Instead, what appeared was Aunt Liu, Mrs. Song’s personal attendant, “Miss Gu, Lady Song invites you.”
“Alright.”
Gu Li got down from the swing, dusted off her gown, and gracefully followed Aunt Liu to the study.
Mrs. Song was resting on the sofa. Seeing Gu Li enter, she didn’t offer her a seat but instead waved her to approach. She got straight to the point, “Miss Gu, frankly speaking, I don’t agree with your marriage!”
Gu Li responded calmly, “Hmm, I have seen your attitude tonight.”
“Since you understand, name your price!”
The old lady spoke in a strong voice.
She may not be able to control Mo Shiting, but she didn’t believe she wouldn’t be able to handle this young woman.
