Gu Li had no idea that Murong Si had purposely set a trap for her. After dropping him off at the Imperial City Hotel, she then headed for Ye Yining’s home.
These past few days, Ye Yining’s recovery had been going well. The scars on her face had faded considerably, almost disappearing under a bit of foundation.
“Dr. Duan is incredible,” Gu Li exclaimed, “At this rate, Sister, you’ll be back to normal in another week.”
“Mmm, the situation is beyond my expectations,” Ye Yining acknowledged excitedly. “Little Pear, I owe so much to you. You truly are my ‘Lucky Pear’.” “Haha, being able to bring you luck is an honor!” Gu Li cheerfully said, “I can’t wait to tell Sister Qian. She’d be over the moon. I have to call her now.”
“Ah? But…”
Before Ye Yining could dissuade her, Gu Li had already skillfully taken out her cell phone and dialed Murong Qian’s number.
No answer?
She tried twice but no one picked up.
Must be busy.
Gu Li had to let it go for the time being.
Ye Yining, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief.
She simply wasn’t ready to meet Murong Qian yet…
Considering this she said to Gu Li: “Little Pear, wait another week, tell her then. Let’s give her a surprise, what do you think?”
Gu Li gave her a look. Seeing that she seemed serious, and didn’t appear to be joking, she nodded, “Alright.”
Next Saturday was her father’s birthday banquet, and Sister Qian would certainly attend. At that time, she could arrange for her and Sister Yining to meet.
“Sister Yining, why don’t you come with me to A Nation next week?”
Ye Yining: “Huh?!?!”
After staying at Ye Yining’s house for the afternoon and having dinner, Gu Li leisurely returned to Blue Sky Blue Sea.
Mo Shiting still hadn’t returned.
Seems pretty busy.
Gu Li pouted a bit, exchanged a few words with Auntie Guan, and then went back to her room (the guest room).
Entering in the middle of the night, Mo Shiting returned home worn out.
The servants had already gone to bed, and the only thing waiting for him was the lamp lit up in the living room.
When he went upstairs and opened his room door, he expected to see Gu Li sleeping there. However, the room was dark with no signs of her on the bed, even under the moonlight shining through.
He switched on the light and looked around the room, confirming that she hadn’t moved back in.
Ah, her stubborn little temper. Still wants to mess with him over separate rooms?
Never mind, if she didn’t want to come back to sleep, he would let her have her way.
A bit disgruntled, Mo Shiting headed to the bathroom.
After taking a shower and glancing at his phone, the time was already midnight.
It’s so late, he wondered if Pear was asleep?
He kind of missed her.
He decided to invite her to move back in tomorrow.
But on second thought, he realized that he’d solemnly sworn not to invite her back, or else he’d be a pig…
Damn it!
Why did he make such a vow in the first place?
Frustrated, Mo Shiting held his phone feeling rather annoyed.
Suddenly, his phone screen lit up, indicating a new email had come in.
Assuming it had something to do with work, Mo Shiting immediately switched to work mode and opened the email.
What he saw, however, was an email from an unfamiliar account.
No text, just two photos taken that afternoon.
Gu Li and Murong Si?
They were together at noon?
So, as soon as she left the Mo family, she rushed to see Murong Si?
Well!
What a pair of childhood sweethearts, don’t they know to maintain a proper social distance?
Look at how Murong Si’s hand was placed around her waist. And her, she was even smiling so sweetly…
Mo Shiting grew angrier the more he looked. He abruptly got up, walked out of the bedroom, and headed for the guest room.
He arrived at the door of the guest room and turned the knob, only to find it locked.
Well, was she actually guarding against him?
Mo Shiting frowned slightly, strode quickly downstairs, preparing to go to Auntie Guan for a spare key.
However, as he entered the living room, his steps abruptly halted.
If he went to Auntie Guan now, wouldn’t that let her know that he had been locked out by his wife?
Let’s forget it.
Mo Shiting hesitated for only two seconds before changing his mind, deciding to cross over from his bedroom balcony.
He was agile and nimble, a small matter like this wouldn’t pose a problem.
However, the balcony door was also locked.
Mo Shiting: “….”
The next day.
Gu Li woke up refreshed, went downstairs, and saw Auntie Guan in a flurry, but Mo Shiting was nowhere to be seen. She couldn’t help but ask, “Auntie Guan, where’s Brother Ting? Usually, at this time, isn’t he eating breakfast?”
Auntie Guan looked at her with a complicated look in her eyes, sighed and said, “Young Madam, the young master left early in the morning for a business trip.” “Ah? Another business trip?”
Gu Li was a bit disappointed.
It seemed that she wasn’t going to see him today.
Her mood dipped slightly, but she didn’t want Auntie Guan to worry, so she kept her smile, sat at the dining table, and started her meal.
After breakfast, Gu Li was planning a trip to Riverside Creative Park, when the landline in the living room rang.
Auntie Guan rushed to answer it, and in a bit, called out to Gu Li, “Young Madam, it’s for you.”
“Forme?”
Who would be looking for her and call the Blue Sky Blue Sea’s landline?
Despite her doubts, she still quickly walked over, took the receiver from Auntie Guan and said, “Hello, this is Gu Li, may I know who this is?”
“It’s me!”
An old and stern voice came from the other end of the line.
Gu Li frowned, “Old Madam?”
And with the mention of the Old Madam, Auntie Guan immediately perked up, prepared for anything.
Oh my god, what is this old lady up to this time?
If she had known it was someone from the Song family calling, she would have helped the Young Madam dodge the call.
“You have something to tell me?”
Gu Li remained polite, a trace of caution flashing in her eyes.
Song Xiyue spoke in a haughty tone, “Well, I’ve given it some serious thought, since Shiting likes you so much, I’m not completely against accepting you. However, you’ll have to agree to my conditions.”
“Heh.”
Gu Li chuckled lightly, but her eyes did not reflect her amusement.
She wasn’t stupid. It was obvious the Old Madam was up to no good. As if she would believe her.
“What are you laughing at? Behave yourself!”
Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, Song Xiyue turned spiteful.
Only then did Gu Li suppress her smile and seriously said, “What are your conditions? Let’s hear them.”
“It’s not convenient to explain over the phone, just come to Song’s residence.”
Song Xiyue ordered in a cold voice.
“Song’s residence?”
Gu Li’s eyes flickered, she straightforwardly said, “I’m afraid to go. What if there’s a trap?”
“You-”
The old lady was furious at her words, “With such a small amount of courage, how can you deserve to be the future matriarch of the Mo family? Gu Li, let me make it clear to you, if you want to be Shiting’s wife for life, you should obediently come to Song’s residence for a lesson. Otherwise, I will never acknowledge you as my granddaughter-in-law, even if I die.”
Gu Li caught the important information in her words, “A lesson? What kind of lesson?”
“A lesson from Mysterious Master about scriptures, is the most suitable for you.
Mysterious Master?
Wasn’t that… the fraudster who had been on the lookout in A Nation for several years?
When did he come to stir up trouble in Hua Country?
As Gu Li was puzzled, the old lady once again roared with full energy, “He’s already here at my home, you come over right now!”
With that said, she didn’t give Gu Li a chance to refuse and cleanly hung up the phone.
Gu Li: “….”
It seems like she had to make the trip.
