Li Fei’fei received everyone’s ingratiation and she was evidently pleased, revealing a smug expression.
But she suddenly paused after noticing Tang Mo’er, who was charging towards her.
Tang Mo’er’s luminous eyes were ice-cold as she glared at Li Fei’fei and spat out a question, “Why did you do that?”
Why did she set her up?
Why did she hate her so much?
Li Fei’fei sneered, sizing up Tang Mo’er, clearly emboldened by He Ling’s backing. “Tang Mo’er, I just don’t like you and setting you up fills me with joy. So what? What can you even do to me?”
Li Fei’fei even pushed Tang Mo’er after speaking and left with her followers.
Tang Mo’er’s hands were balled into two fists, she glared at Li Fei’fei’s back and shouted, “Li Fei’fei, you stand right there!”
Li Fei’fei turned around and asked, “Tang Mo’er, why did you call my name?”
Slap! Tang Mo’er lifted her hand and gave Li Fei’fei one tight slap across the face.
Stunned, Li Fei’fei pressed her hand against her cheek, clearly at a loss for words. “Tang Mo’er, how dare you hit me!”
Tang Mo’er smirked, enunciating each word with a challenging clarity, “Why wouldn’t I dare? I’m only slapping someone who’s in need of a lesson!”
“You!” Li Fei’fei signaled the classmates standing around them, “Help me ruin her today!”
About five girls had charged forward, surrounding Tang Mo’er while Li Fei’fei was busy with pulling ferociously on Tang Mo’er’s silky hair. She pushed Tang Mo’er until she fell on the ground against and pressed her head down. “Tang Mo’er, how dare you hit me! I’m going to ruin your lovely appearance right now!”
Tang Mo’er put up a struggle but it was a futile attempt. She was alone and didn’t stand a chance against them. She felt something stinging on her face and it was Li Fei’fei, scratching her delicate face with her long fingernails. Her ethereal face was lacerated and there were a few bloody scratches on it.
Li Fei’fei was bent on ruining her appearance and viciously attacking her face with no mercy.
Right when Tang Mo’er was bullied by Li Fei’fei to the point she wasn’t able to fight for herself, some barking sounds were heard and a golden retriever appeared.
Bluse?
It was Bluse!
The huge golden retriever had rushed over, pouncing onto Li Fei’fei and she fell right on the ground next to Tang Mo’er in a pathetic fashion. Seeing such a huge dog in front of her, Li Fei’fei started screaming hysterically.
“Little sister-in-law!” An’an darted up to the group and arrived shortly after. When she saw that Tang Mo’er was being bullied by many people, she rolled her sleeves up and charged forward, yanking on Li Fei’fei’s hair forcefully. How dare they bully little Sister-in-law! Tang Mo’er took the chance to turn her body over and give Li Fei’fei another two slaps on the face.
The other girls had reciprocated and pandemonium broke out.
The Dean, He Ling rushed over, berating, “Everyone stop what you’re doing right now! What in the world are you girls doing?”
Tang Mo’er and An’an both stopped but Li Fei’fei was already in ruins. She threw herself into He Ling’s embrace, complaining, “Aunt, they hit me!”
Looking at Li Fei’fei’s swollen face, He Ling flew into a rage and directed her anger at Tang Mo’er and An’an. “Ask your parents to come down! Tell them to come here right now!”
…
The Gu Corporation headquarters.
Gu Mohan was having a meeting in the VIP conference room. The higher ups in the company were all present and the CEO of DHA Diamonds, CEO Wan, was presenting.
Gu Mohan had a document placed beside him on the desk, it was the list of interning designers who registered their interest in joining the Gu Corporation this time round. He quickly flipped through the list casually but couldn’t find the name he was expecting.
Wasn’t she a jewelry design student? Why hadn’t she registered?
Gu Mohan closed the documents and Wan An quickly paused his presentation, everyone in the conference room was observing him, awaiting his reaction before they said anything.
“President, is there anything wrong?” Wan An tested the waters.
Gu Mohan pursed his lips, noticing that he was thinking about Tang Mo’er again, unknowingly.
How was it any of his business whether she had registered or not?
Why did he even pay any attention to her?
The fact he was even contemplating this in his mind was incredibly frustrating to him.
Yan Dong walked over, passing a cell phone to Gu Mohan. “President, it’s a call from the University.”
Gu Mohan received the cell phone, it was He Ling, who was clearly outraged about something. After hearing her words, he scowled and his expression was thunderous.
The higher ups were all panicking, this man was emanating a baleful aura. What had happened?
“I’ll be there in no time.” Gu Mohan hung up the phone call, getting up from his chair. “The meeting is over.”
…
15 minutes later.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped right outside of the Dean’s office and Gu Mohan stepped out.
In the Dean’s office, Tang Mo’er, An’an and Bluse were standing in one straight line. They were forced by He Ling to face the wall and do some soul-searching.
“President Gu, you’ve arrived.” He Ling quickly acknowledged his arrival and greeted him ingratiatingly.
Gu Mohan didn’t bother to give He Ling a glance. His narrowed eyes were on the two girls and his pet.
Tang Mo’er, An’an and Bluse had their heads lowered, behaving just like kids who made a mistake and didn’t dare to lift their heads to meet their guardian.
Gu Mohan walked in front, his voice emanating displeasure. “Tell me, what happened exactly?”
An’an stretched out her arms, pushing Tang Mo’er forward instead. “Little Sister-in-law, you’re in charge.”
An’an and Bluse both hid behind Tang Mo’er.
“…”
Tang Mo’er didn’t dare to lift her eyes and look at him. He was standing right in front of her and when his imposing figure towered over her, it was strangely stifling. He was a 30 year old who could cause one to shudder even without raising his voice or using any force.
He held onto her dainty jaw, forcing her to lift her head and looked right in her eyes. His sarcastic tone resounded in her ears, “Aren’t you formidable, bringing An’an with you to get into a fight with others. Why are you wussing out now and behaving like a coward?”
Their eyes met and she felt extremely aggrieved. She was feeling pain all over her body and felt even more upset after recalling that everyone disliked her and now her Mr Gu was also being mean to her. Ever since she has arrived in the Capital, she hadn’t been happy at all.
Why was she putting herself through all of this?
She didn’t have a home in the Capital and could only stay on campus. She didn’t have any relatives and friends in the Capital, there was no one expressing their concern for her whenever she was hurt. She didn’t even have anyone to talk to, she had to bear with all of these just because she wanted to look for him and make him hers again.
But now, he was venting his anger on her from the moment he set foot into the office.
She felt wronged.
Tang Mo’er held on her clothes tightly, looking at him with her luminous eyes. She hadn’t noticed, but her eyes were soon all watery and red.
Gu Mohan suddenly felt a twinge in his heart, she was almost going to cry. She looked at him with a pitiful look on her face, just like a hurt kitten, in need of its owner’s love and affection.
He noticed that her exquisite face was a little dirty, there was even some red scratches on them. It was no longer as flawless as when he had last seen her, her downtrodden appearance making her even more pitiful.
He lowered his head, noticing that her hands were also wounded.
Tang Mo’er hid her hands behind her back.
When he saw her hiding her hands, he was irritated and his voice was cold, “Show me your hands now.”
Tang Mo’er swallowed thickly and lowered her lashes, refusing his demand.
Gu Mohan reached out for her hands, grasping it from behind with much ease.
He unfurled her fingers and saw that the skin on her palm had peeled open, revealing a large portion of exposed flesh.
His narrow eyes were filled with ferocity, he was beyond furious. What a fine human being she was, causing herself to be injured all over.
He Ling witnessed the scene, a handsome man checking on Tang Mo’er carefully. He didn’t utter a word but she could see that he was feeling bad for Tang Mo’er.
