Unsolicited attention, whether deceit or theft, Gu Li was curious as to what her aunt was up to.
Was she planning to take revenge for Gu Li getting Song Zekai into trouble with the police, or hoping to use Gu Li to plead with Mo Shiting?
Thinking of this, a flicker of thought crossed Gu Li’s eyes, and she agreed, “Alright, Auntie, wait for me, I’ll change my clothes.”
She was initially just going downstairs to buy breakfast, so she was dressed very casually, which was not suitable for accompanying a lady of high status like Wan Yao.
“Go ahead.”
Upon hearing her agree to go out, Wan Yao happily gestured, “Take your time, I’ll wait for you in the living room.”
“Okay.”
Gu Li nodded slightly.
She gave her a quiet look before she walked into her bedroom and closed the door.
Ten minutes later, Gu Li emerged, dressed in a delicate lilac-colored dress.
Her waist-length black curls were swept up into a high bun, displaying her beautiful face; a pair of tiny, exquisite earrings adorning her alabaster earlobes added to her captivating beauty.
Wan Yao surveyed her and had to admit that this young girl was naturally beautiful, no wonder Mo Shiting was drawn to her.
However, no matter how beautiful she was, it couldn’t change her ordinary background. Even if she married Mo Shiting, she would never truly be a phoenix.
She simply could not compare to Shen Yunsi.
At this moment, Wan Yao still firmly believed that Mo Shiting was merely infatuated with Gu Li’s youth and beauty. The ultimate winner would definitely be the heiress of the Shen family, who was of equal social status with the Mo family, Shen Yunsi.
In her musing, Gu Li had walked to the hallway, changed her shoes, and picked up her bag from the cabinet.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The two of them left together in a car.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at a shopping center in the middle of the city.
This was the most high-end commercial center in Capital City, filled with flagship stores of top luxury brands.
Gu Li was not particularly interested in brand-name clothes and bags. After all, she had her own personal tailor, and everything she wore was limited edition.
However, considering Wan Yao’s “generosity”, she patiently accompanied her to several designer stores.
The two of them, each with their own thoughts, stepped into an opulent ladies’ boutique.
Wan Yao bumped into an acquaintance, “Mrs. Qian, what a coincidence.”
“Oh my, isn’t this Mrs. Song? It’s been a while.”
Mrs. Qian responded with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mrs. Qian looked at Gu Li, “I don’t recognize this young lady. Which family’s daughter is she?”
Just as Wan Yao was about to speak, Mrs. Qian’s phone in her bag suddenly rang. She apologetically smiled at them and walked away to answer the call.
Once she was out of earshot, Wan Yao quietly said to Gu Li, “Mrs. Qian’s husband is a confidante of the President. There will be opportunities for you to get to know each other.”
“Oh.”
Gu Li responded indifferently.
Not long after, Wan Yao personally selected an elegantly cut long skirt for her, “Gu Li, I think this skirt will suit you very well. Why don’t you try it on? If you like it, I’ll give it to you as a welcome gift.”
Gu Li initially wanted to refuse, but she had to admit, the skirt did appeal to her taste. So, she agreed with a nod, “Okay.”
“Good, go ahead.”
Wan Yao hastily pushed Gu Li toward the dressing room, half guiding her in.
Seeing Gu Li still holding her bag, she offered, “Do you want me to hold your bag for you?”
“No, thank you.”
With that, Gu Li closed the door of the dressing room.
As soon as the door closed, the smile on Wan Yao’s face froze, a cold light passing over her eyes.
A little while later, Gu Li emerged in her new outfit to find the store in an uproar, as if something major had occurred.
“What happened?”
