“Gu Zuo, why are you here?”
The visitor turned out to be Gu Zuo, who was a close confidant of her father, Gu Yuan.
Behind him were a group of bodyguards, dressed in black suits and wearing badges of the Gu family.
Nothing good could come from their sudden appearance.
Could they have come to take her back?
Surely as Gu Li spoke, Gu Zuo calmly bowed respectfully, “Miss, I am under the orders of the Family Head to escort you back to our country. Please come with us immediately.”
Gu Li’s eyes flickered mysteriously as she spoke coldly, “I still have some unfinished tasks here. Once they are done, I will return.”
“Miss, the Family Head’s orders stated that if you don’t return immediately, you will be expelled from the family.”
“What? He…”
Gu Li’s face changed instantly, unbelieving and her hand subconsciously curled into a fist.
She knew her father very well: he was a man of his words. If she was indeed expelled from the family, everything she had done up until now would be for nothing.
No, that couldn’t happen!
But if she were to leave now…
She had only recently grown closer to Brother Ting and it pained her to think of parting from him so soon.
Oh, this is difficult.
“Miss, the helicopter is waiting on the rooftop. The time given by the Family Head is running out. Please depart immediately.”
Gu Zuo reminded her, showing no emotion on his face.
Gu Li glared at him, “Gu Zuo, after all these years, how are you still so insensitive? Keep going like this, and you’ll never find a wife.”
Without changing his expression, Gu Zuo bowed to her and gestured for her to proceed.
Seeing this, Gu Li could only sigh, “Fine, I’ll go with you. But my cousin and Brother Si are both in the room. You should allow me to say goodbye to them, shouldn’t you?”
“You have five minutes.”
Gu Zuo made a concession.
Gu Li knew there was no room for negotiation and, irritated, she swung the door shut.
The loud “bang” startled Murong Qian and Murong Si inside the room.
“Little Pear, who came?”
Murong Qian peeked out her head and asked the irate Gu Li.
“Little Pear, who pissed you off? I’ll kill him!”
Murong Si chimed in.
Gu Li looked at them both and said irritably, “My dad’s lapdog Gu Zuo is here to take me back. Brother Si, dare to kill him for me?”
Murong Si immediately changed his tone, “Little Pear, you’ve been away from home for so long. It’s about time you return. How about I go with you?”
“Heh.”
Gu Li rolled her eyes, “Save it.”
As she finished speaking, she lightly patted Murong Xi’s arm, “Cousin, Gu Zuo is waiting for me at the door. I have to go first. Take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry, I will.”
As Murong Xi saying this, she leaned closer to Gu Li and asked quietly, “You’re leaving just like that? When can you come back? And Mo Shiting, how will you explain things to him?”
Gu Li softly responded, “I’ll just have to play it by ear.”
Not long after Gu Li whispered to Murong Xi, the very dutiful Gu Zuo knocked on the door again.
“Stop rushing me.”
Annoyed, Gu Li reluctantly grabbed her bag and went out the door.
And of course, the persistent Murong Si followed her.
After all, he had come to Hua Country solely to find Gu Li. Now that she was leaving for A Nation, there was no reason for him not to follow.
After boarding the plane, Gu Li sneakily texted Mo Shiting:[Brother Ting, there is an emergency at home and I must go back immediately. I will return once it’s resolved. Don’t miss me or look for me okay? Kisses.]
Mo Shiting was in a meeting and didn’t notice the message. By the time he saw it, an hour had already passed..
