“Xiyan, wait for me, I will leave with you.” Gu Mohan glanced at Tang Mo’er and strode away.
He wanted to leave with Jun Xiyan.
He did not wish to converse with her.
He wasn’t going to give her another chance.
Tang Mo’er promptly stretched out her pale hand and pulled his large palm that was hanging by his side. She grasped his long index finger tightly in her hand and refused to let him go.
It was this action again.
Her hand was tugging on his index finger, and she resembled a whiny child.
Gu Mohan stopped in his tracks as he was unable to move ahead.
Jun Xiyan turned around, glanced at the both of them and smiled. “Mohan, I’ll wait outside for you. You settle this matter.”
After speaking, Jun Xiyan really left.
Yan Dong closed the room to the President’s office, shielding them away from Li Fei’fei and the other girls’ gazes.
…
In the office.
Gu Mohan furrowed his handsome brows. “Let go!”
Tang Mo’er shook her little head, and she tightened her grip on his index finger. Her eyes were red and she obstinately said. “I won’t let go!”
Gu Mohan’s other hand grabbed hold of her little hand and pried each of her fingers off.
He walked away.
He left.
“Gu Mohan!” Tang Mo’er yelled and chased after his handsome back. “If you dare to leave, I will not want you anymore. I’m going back to Karghalik and won’t be in Capital any longer. You won’t be able to see me again in the future!”
Gu Mohan’s heart throbbed painfully. He gradually stopped in his tracks.
He stopped.
He really stopped.
At this juncture, a man’s low, irresistible voice was heard. “Since you are leaving here to return to Karghalik, then I will bid you farewell now. Miss Tang, please take care. I won’t be sending you off.”
After speaking, he left the office.
What was he saying?
Please take care, I won’t be sending you off?
She had thought he would ask her to stay. She had never imagined that he would be so eager to chase her away.
The man’s handsome back quickly disappeared from her vision. Tang Mo’er reached her fair hand out to cover her red lips. She could not control her tears any longer, and she was sobbing uncontrollably in an instant.
…
Outside the office.
Yan Dong took two steps forward and said in a hushed voice. “President, Miss Tang…”
Gu Mohan had not left. He had been standing outside the door. The sound of the girl crying inside the room reached his ears clearly. She was sobbing and gasping away, as if she was out of breath. The helpless, pitiful crying sounds from a young girl was heartbreaking.
Gu Mohan leaned indolently against the wall. His handsome eyes were dispirited. He should have left, but when he heard her sobbing sounds, his footsteps felt heavy, and he was unable to move.
Every sob from her was like the strings of a violin tugging on his heart, and he felt waves of pain.
“President, Miss Jun is still waiting for you…”
Gu Mohan knitted his brows and said in a low voice. “Let her go back, the date tonight is cancelled.”
“Understood.” Yan Dong left.
Gu Mohan leaned against the wall and listened to the sounds of the girl sobbing. One was inside the room, and one was outside the room. A door separated both of their worlds.
…
After she was done with crying, Tang Mo’er came out of the Gu Corporation alone. She stood at the bustling streets and looked at Capital, which looked so foreign to her.
The autumn night wind swept her face painfully, as though a knife had cut into her flesh. She felt cold, inside and out, and wrapped her slender arms around herself for some warmth.
She raised her head and looked at the sky, and her tears continued to flow.
No matter how much she tried, she was unable to chase after Mr Gu.
What should she do?
At this moment, an Aston Martin car gradually stopped in front of her, and the window of the driver seat rolled down, revealing a handsome, chiseled face. It was Lu Jinwen.
“Mo’er, get into the car.”
Tang Mo’er raised her eyes and saw Lu Jinwen. She proceeded to get onto the passenger seat.
…
In the luxurious car.
Lu Jinwen drove steadily. He turned his head and glanced at Tang Mo’er. Tang Mo’er’s head was lowered, her eyes and nose were red and she looked like she had just cried.
“What happened, did Gu Mohan bully you?” He curved his thin, cold lips.
Tang Mo’er fluttered her luscious eyelashes, then shook her head. “No…”
Lu Jinwen’s deep almond-shaped eyes revealed a tinge of tenderness. “Mo’er, you are just like your mom. Both of you are silly and are always getting bullied by men. But no matter how much you are bullied, you both would still love and defend that man.”
Tang Mo’er raised her head and turned towards Lu Jinwen. “Were you that man?”
Was he that man? He had bullied Mom, but Mom still loved and defended him?
Lu Jinwen did not answer. His almond-shaped eyes had become extremely deep due to the ravages of time, and no one would ever be able to fathom his true thoughts.
In any case, Mo’er was exactly like her Mom, and silly to the point of being naive. Such girls would be easily taken advantage of by men.
“Mo’er, sometimes men are more pretentious than women. He will disregard you if you chase after him. Why don’t you try another way, which is to ignore him, and let his gaze chase after you.”
“Oh, I understand.”
She replied to acknowledge.
“Come home, Gu Mohan is at my place.”
“What?” Tang Mo’er expressed shock. Why would Gu Mohan come to the Lu Family?
“There are some problems with DHA.”
“What problems?”
“The supplier of DHA Diamonds, Mr John, arrived from Switzerland to inspect the diamonds. But Mr John discovered some problems with one of the batches of the DHA diamonds. It turns out that the purchasing director of the Gu Corporation had passed off the Grade Two diamonds as Grade One diamonds, and has been selling diamonds of lower quality at the price of the higher quality ones. Mr John is a man of his word. When your Mom was around, Mr John had promised your Mom that DHA would get to select first from all the diamonds that were mined, and the rest would then be sold to other suppliers. Mr John has been honoring this promise all these years since your Mom has not been around.”
“But now, there’s such a problem in DHA’s internal department of selling diamonds of lower quality at the price of the better quality ones and cheating consumers. Mr John is furious and wants to terminate the contract with DHA.”
Tang Mo’er sucked in a mouthful of cold air. She had not expected such a huge problem to occur.
There was a problem with the supplying of DHA Diamonds. Without good materials, how would DHA be able to create those classics they were renowned for?
…
At the Lu family villa.
The female servant opened the main door and Lu Jinwen strode in. There was a tall and handsome figure in the living room. Gu Mohan had arrived.
Gu Mohan turned around when he heard footsteps. “Uncle Jin, Mr John is here…”
The female servant knelt down to change shoes for Lu Jinwen. Lu Jinwen waved his hand and looked at Gu Mohan. “Let’s eat first.”
Lin Xuanyin entered the room with a smile. “Yes, President Gu, dinner has already been prepared. Let’s have dinner first.”
Gu Mohan nodded. “Sure.”
At this moment, his eyes saw a pretty figure. When Lu Jinwen walked ahead, Tang Mo’er’s pretty face was revealed.
Gu Mohan’s gaze froze. He had not expected to see Tang Mo’er here.
Lu Jinwen looked at Gu Mohan’s expression and narrowed his deep almond-shaped eyes. His lips were curved into what appeared to be a smile and he casually said, “Oh, President Gu, I have forgotten to do the introductions. This is my daughter, Tang Mo’er.”
