But Mo Shiting ignored him, clapping his hands decisively, “It’s settled.”

SongYunque: “What?!!!”

Ah, if he’d known, he wouldn’t have falsely claimed to be Gu Li’s senior brother.

His older brother is too jealous, why doesn’t he try being the senior brother himself?

Why does he have to make life difficult for his innocent younger brother? Boo hoo.

After a brief pleasant interlude, the four of them started to dine.

Old Master Mo suddenly spoke, addressing Song Yunque, “Did the old lady send you?”

Song Yunque’s hand, holding his chopsticks, twitched.

Good lord, Old Master Mo saw through his intentions with an eagle’s eye.

But, of course, the old master is like a cunning fox; he would see through his intentions easily.

Not just the old master – even his brother and sister-in-law probably already knew his true intentions for coming here.

Oh, he just wanted to have a decent meal, but now…

Song Yunque put down his chopsticks, stood up and bowed to Gu Li at a 90 degree angle.

Gu Li, startled, exclaimed, “Hey, what are you doing?”

“Sis-in-law,” he began, “I know you don’t want to see anyone from the Song family, besides me. So, at this moment, I have to apologize sincerely on behalf of my aunt! I hope you can forgive her out of your goodness. Her health is fragile and she can’t bear the harsh conditions of jail. Please, Sis-in-law, let her go.”

Song Yunque was rarely so serious.

As Gu Li pressed her lips together, contemplative and on the verge of speaking, Mo Shiting interjected coldly, “You’re mistaken. We don’t want to see any Song family members, including you! And the person who isn’t forgiving her is me!”

“Brother…”

“Brother Ting…”

Song Yunque and Gu Li both called out to him in unison.

Mo Shiting patted Gu Li on the shoulder, indicating that she should remain silent.

Seeing this, Gu Li reluctantly complied.

“Shiting…”

Old Master Mo also tried to persuade him, but Mo Shiting stopped him, “One by one, you all try to guilt trip me into letting her go. When she was framing Gu Li, did she ever consider the repercussions for Gu Li? There’s no discussion on this – the most you can do is hire her the best lawyer.”

“But…”

Unyielding, Song Yunque wanted to continue pleading, but a frosty glance from Mo Shiting silenced him.

He knew his brother was truly angry now.

It seemed that Gu Li held such an important place in his brother’s heart that he wouldn’t even save face for his own grandmother or himself…

Having failed in his mission, Song Yunque felt it inappropriate to stay at the Mo Family Villa much longer and left after lunch.

Old Master Mo wanted his afternoon nap, so he ushered the couple away as well.

“Brother Ting, don’t you have to go to the office today?”

Upon leaving the main house, Gu Li couldn’t contain her curiosity.

It wasn’t the weekend, and she’d forgotten to ask him all morning.

Mo Shiting looked at her, “I have to go abroad this afternoon.”

“Huh? You’re going abroad?”

Gu Li was immediately reluctant, “For how long?”

“The time is not certain, but at least three to five days.”

Mo Shiting replied honestly.

Gu Li: “Oh.”

Silence. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a few seconds, she smiled sweetly, “Then I wish you all the best. I’ll stay here for the next few days.”

“Okay.”

Mo Shiting gazed at her deeply.

Looking at her radiant smile, he suddenly had the urge to just stay by her side and not go anywhere. Unfortunately, circumstances did not permit.

“Brother Ting-”

Gu Li called out to him softly, interrupting his wandering thoughts, “Hmm?”

“When do you leave?”

She asked with concern.

Mo Shiting glanced at his watch, “Now.”

Gu Li’s eyes widened, “Now? So suddenly?”
