Translator: 549690339
Assuming that the bodyguards were intentionally going easy, Mrs. Song couldn’t help but curse loudly, “What, did you forget to eat? Or are you just reluctant to hit her? I warn you, beat her down or get out of here.”
Upon hearing her words, the bodyguards all became anxious and immensely aggrieved.
It wasn’t that they weren’t trying their best, but their opponent was just too strong…
Luckily, just when the fight was at a stalemate, Mo Shiting showed up.
“Stop!”
Following his command, the bodyguards acted as if they had seen a savior. They sighed in relief and immediately retreated.
Gu Li was panting lightly.
Sighing in relief, she thought, ‘Finally, I can rest. I haven’t fought like this in a while. It’s tired as hell.’
Seeing Mo Shiting rushing over, Mrs. Song remembered how she had gone to him only to be rejected earlier and felt a surge of anger. “What? Are you done now? You have time to see people now?”
Mo Shiting subconsciously glanced at Gu Li, who was rubbing her shoulder not far away. His eyes were dim and complex.
Lowering his gaze and concealing the unusual look in his eyes, he calmly replied to the old lady, “The meeting just ended.”
Then, changing the subject, his tone grew stern: “But as for you, grandmother, going to such great lengths to deal with a young woman in my territory can generate unfavorable speculations. I’ll suppress the news about today’s incident. However, I request that you consider your status before acting out next time.”
“You ”
Old Lady Song’s face turned from green to white. She wanted to retort, but for some reason, she hesitated in front of Mo Shiting’s sharp and intimidating gaze and was unable to utter a word.
“Madam, you??? ”
Aunt Liu was obstinate and wanted to continue inciting the old lady, but she was taken aback by Mo Shiting’s icy glance and hastily stopped talking.
At this point, Mo Shiting added, “It’s getting late, grandmother. Please go back first.”
“Hmph! Let’s go.”
Knowing that staying longer would only annoy her further, Mrs. Song waved her cane irritably and unwillingly departed.
With her departure, everyone else followed suit.
Soon, the long, tree-lined road was left with only Mo Shiting and Gu Li.
Gu Li pressed her lips together, the feeling of heartache grew stronger in that instant.
She had thought she had prepared herself enough to face him again without such torment, but in the end, she had overestimated herself.
Not wishing to face him any longer, she decisively turned around and walked away.
Mo Shiting reached out to stop her, but his reason held him back.
Knowing Gu Li’s identity, he also understood her better than before — she could handle those bodyguards on her own if he hadn’t appeared.
But he still came, driven by selfishness to see her up close.
The only problem was, the girl’s indifferent attitude was significantly different from her usual warm and lively demeanor, causing a sharp pang in his heart.
Gu Li walked slowly, her steps heavy as if weighed down by lead.
Her back was tingling slightly. It seemed that Old Lady Song had put a lot of force into the hit she had given her.
Gu Li’s lips twitched, and she subconsciously bent over slightly while rubbing her back as she walked.
Her unintentional little movements were fully absorbed by Mo Shiting’s eyes.
Was she hurt?
He furrowed his brows, realizing the situation. He strode quickly toward her.
In a few steps, he caught up with Gu Li.
This time, he finally reached out and grabbed her arm.
Gu Li froze slightly, turning her head, and unexpectedly locked eyes with a pair of deep and unfathomable eyes..
