Chapter 404: Chapter 314 Mo Shiting’s Contract of Selling Himself_i
Shen Yunsi hadn’t expected that Gu Li would hail from the esteemed Gu family of A Nation.
During all the time she was covertly competing with Gu Li, what she was most proud of was her superior social status. However, she learned today, that the girl she always looked down upon came from not just an ordinary background, but even surpassed her. How could she swallow this prick to her pride?
No, she hadn’t lost yet.
The Gu family might be more formidable than the Shen family, but Gu Li, a junior at Imperial City University, how could she compete with the 25-year-old her who held a doctoral degree from a world-class university?
If she wished to accept the invitation from Imperial City University, she would have already been a professor in the Department of Chinese Studies. Hence Gu Li would always be inferior to her.
Comforting herself in this manner, Shen Yunsi’s mood gradually improved.
Cheng Ying, oblivious to Shen’s thoughts, was still incessantly pleading with her over the phone, “What should we do, Miss Shen? Please, you must help me, Miss Shen.”
Shen Yunsi kept her annoyance in check and lightly said, “Fine, I’ll help you clear your traces on the internet, so they won’t find any evidence against you. But—”
She hesitated here and suddenly halted her speech.
Cheng Ying held her breath, only to hear Shen continue, “This is the last time. Don’t call me again in the future.”
“But…”
Cheng Ying hesitated, after all, Shen Yunsi was her investor, and her financial support established GE. How could their financial ties be severed so abruptly?
“Miss Shen, about the matter of GE…”
Shen Yunsi impatiently cut her off, “I’ve already said, GE is yours. Whether it thrives or perishes, it has nothing to do with me. Cheng Ying, you are a clever person, you know what to say and what not to.”
A hint of a sparkle flashed in Cheng Ying’s eyes, she pursed her lips, “Alright, I understand, Miss Shen.”
Shen Yunsi didn’t answer, instead hanging up the phone without hesitation.
Cheng Ying held her phone in her hand, unable to stop herself from a self- mocking thought, was this everyone scatters at a sign of trouble?
Hopefully this time, she’d only have lost Cheng Wei. Otherwise, if those secrets were exposed, as the legal representative of GE, she might end up serving a prison term.
Shen Yunsi was known to be very good at socializing and had an extensive network of contacts. Deleting posts, removing articles, and suppressing trending searches was a minor matter for her.
Therefore, within just an hour, she tidied up all the information about Gu Li’s background and negative reports on the Hua Country’s internet.
The speed of message blocking was so fast. If someone didn’t check their social media yesterday, they wouldn’t even know that such a sensational thing had once been trending on the internet.
Of course, this was attributed to Shen Yunsi’s self-interest, after all, the last thing she’d like to see was the knowledge of Gu Li’s status as a top-notch rich and beautiful lady becoming a public spectacle.
Blue Sky and Blue Sea.
Ever since learning that her father had unilaterally announced her identity as Miss Gu, Gu Li carried a complicated mood.
She called Gu Yuan right then.
However, Gu Yuan was in an important meeting at that time. The secretary informed her that the meeting would go on for a while and asked her to call later.
So, Gu Li waited and waited, until one o’clock in the morning, but Gu Yuan’s meeting was still not over.
Mo Shiting kept her company until late at night. Seeing that she was nodding off between the waiting, knowing that she couldn’t hold on any longer, he unhesitatingly picked her up and forced her to go to sleep.
Gu Li was indeed exhausted, but she didn’t want Mo Shiting to stay up with her. So, she nodded and agreed to contact Gu Yuan the next day.
When she woke up, the day was bright.
She picked up her phone from the bedside table and saw that it was already half past eleven.
“Wow, I have a class this afternoon, I can’t make it now.”
It takes at least 2 hours to get back to the university from here, that’s just crazy.
Mo Shiting walked into the room just as she was running around the bedroom in confusion, pulling at her hair. He couldn’t help but curl his lips, “Don’t worry, knowing that you definitely wouldn’t wake up, I have already asked for leave for you.”
“Really? That’s great.”
Gu Li swiftly turned her head, a trace of a smile in her eyes.
Mo Shiting advanced towards her with his long stride, gently tousling her bangs, his profound gaze was full of warmth, “Go freshen up, we will have lunch.”
“Uh huh, I’ll go right away.”
After saying this, Gu Li dashed into the bathroom.
After washing up, dressing and coming downstairs, Mo Shiting was already seated in the dining room waiting for her.
The dining table was full of various dishes, but Aunt Guan and Auntie Li, who had cooked, were not in sight. Presumably, they didn’t want to be the third wheel and tactfully excused themselves.
