Chapter 427: 321 Past Life Events 3
She contacted Gu Li directly, reminding her that she had to go to the Song’s residence today.
Gu Li was planning to keep the appointment, so she did not refuse.
However, not wanting to interrupt Mo Shiting’s meeting, she specifically waited for him to finish his morning conference before departing.
By the time they arrived at Song’s residence, it was already time for lunch.
The younger members were absent, leaving only the old lady to entertain them.
If this was in the past, Gu Li’s tardiness would certainly have provoked sarcasm.
Today, however, Mrs. Song was remarkably cordial to her – could she have found out about her real identity?
Gu Li speculated silently, yet her face remained as calm as always.
After sitting with Gu Li for about 10 minutes, Mo Shiting glanced at his wristwatch and said in a deep voice, “Grandma, we have another meeting at noon, so we need to leave.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song’s amiable old face instantly turned cold, “How could you? You came home to visit me after so long, much less to stay for a meal?”
Mo Shiting’s expression did not change, “I will come over again next time. I am very busy today.”
He wasn’t lying.
However, the old lady was still very unhappy, “Alright then, you go. But this girl will stay here with me.”
“Grandma, she has to leave with me.”
Mo Shiting was insistent.
Who knew if the old lady would make things difficult for Gu Li as soon as he left?
He couldn’t take that risk.
Unexpecting Mo Shiting to care so much for Gu Li, Mrs. Song’s face darkened, “Fine then, you all leave. Don’t bother coming ever again! I don’t need a grandson who is so infatuated with such a woman. I really don’t get it, what do you even see in her? Do you think beauty can put food on the table?”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Gu Li realized that the old lady wasn’t aware of her true identity.
So, the courteous facade she had been maintaining must have been for Mo Shiting’s sake.
It was just that she hadn’t anticipated Mo Shiting not even being willing to have a meal with her. Unable to bear it, she revealed her true emotions.
At this moment, Gu Li felt a slight sympathy for the old woman.
However, there must be something hateful in those pitiable. After all, if she had a shred of love for Mo Shiting, he would undoubtedly treat her with his whole heart.
In Gu Li’s view, she actually didn’t fully understand what her existence meant to Mo Shiting.
No matter how harshly the old lady scolded him, he could bear it. However, the moment she started attacking Gu Li, Mo Shiting, however mild-mannered he might be, would not allow her to bully Gu Li.
So when he heard the old lady calling Gu Li “irregular”, Mo Shiting’s handsome face instantly turned black, and he decisively pulled Gu Li and walked out.
There was no hesitation in his steps, he didn’t lookback. Seeing this, Mrs. Song couldn’t help but hammer her chest with her hand, speaking to Aunt Liu beside her in great pain, “What sin did I commit in this life that even my son and grandson are like this? Xinghe, if only he hadn’t fallen head over heels for that fox spirit from the entertainment industry, he wouldn’t have died young. It’s all my fault; I wasn’t firm enough. If I had been a bit more ruthless and hidden that woman, she wouldn’t have had the chance to harm Xinghe.”
Aunt Liu turned her eyes and insincerely consoled her, “Mrs. Song, do not be sad. Young Master Mo and his father are different. He has a ruthless heart and knows exactly what he wants. You have to believe that he is temporarily infatuated with Gu Li’s beauty. After a few years, he will understand that it is Miss Yunsi, a match in social status, who really suits him. Additionally, Miss Yunsi is much more outstanding than the miss of the Lin family back then. You need to have confidence in her.”
With Aunt Liu’s consolation, Mrs. Song felt a sudden surge of disdain for Miss Lin, “Yes, Lin Ruotong, that useless thing. Couldn’t even hold onto her husband. If she was capable, Xinghe wouldn’t have run off with that actor.”
What made it worse, there was the plane crash, and she lost her beloved son…
Thinking about it, Mrs. Song couldn’t help but feel sad again.
Aunt Liu consoled her for a while, then began to speak up for Shen Yunsi, “Actually, as long as you support Miss Yunsi, she can definitely defeat Gu Li.”
This woke Mrs. Song like a blow, and she quickly aroused her spirit, “You go and call Miss Yunsi for me. I want to invite her for afternoon tea. Ask her when she is available.”
“Yes, ma’am, I’ll do it right away.”
Aunt Liu walked away.
A minute later, she came back to report, “Mrs. Song, Miss Yunsi says she is available at three o’clock this afternoon.”
“Good! You get it arranged.”
“Yes.”
As they left the Song’s residence and headed back to the parking lot, Mo Shiting’s handsome face remained tense. He didn’t speak a word to Gu Li..
