After Li Jinyao finished speaking, he stared unblinkingly at Mo Shiting. Before Mo could reply, Li blurted out, “Look at you, you’ve turned yourself into a mess over a woman. Is it worth it?”

Mo Shiting remained silent.

Li Jinyao sighed, “Alright, enough of this. Tell me why you called me here. Do you want me to take out the Black Blood League for you, or do you want me to bring Gu Li back for you?”

Mo Shiting looked at him, “Can you do it?”

“You ”

A man’s dignity never allows him to admit he can’t do something. Yet, in this moment, he found himself unable to answer…

Damn, what a low blow! Thought Li Jinyao.

After venting his frustration, Li Jinyao decided that he should not bother with a man who was heartbroken and injured. He sneered, “I’ll keep an eye on the Black Blood League. As for Gu Li? It’s between you two as a married couple. Nobody else should interfere. You better rest up and explain things to her face-to-face. Maybe it’s all just a misunderstanding.”

Was it really a misunderstanding?

Mo Shiting mockingly thought to himself. He saw what he saw, could it be false?

Moreover, they had shared a bed for days, and she didn’t let him touch her. That was a fact.

Besides the explanation that she didn’t love him, he could not think of a more convincing reason…

Seeing Mo Shiting’s face getting paler, Li Jinyao reached out to feel his forehead but was swatted away, “What are you doing?”

“Checking to see if you have a fever.” Li Jinyao said seriously.

“I’m fine.”

Mo Shiting said softly, regaining a bit of his spirit, “The news of my injury hasn’t gotten out, has it?”

“Don’t worry, we’ve kept it from the public. It won’t affect the stock price of the Mo family business or worry your grandparents.”

Li Jinyao assured him.

Mo Shiting nodded, then told Li Jinyao, “I plan to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.”

Li Jinyao was taken aback, “What did you say? Discharged? With your current physical condition, are you trying to kill yourself?”

Mo Shiting pursed his lips, his expression solemn, “Tomorrow is the anniversary of my father’s death.”

Every year on this day, he would return to the old house to accompany Old Master Mo. This year wouldn’t be an exception.

Knowing this family tradition, Li Jinyao, despite his concerns about Shiting’s health, did not attempt to stop him, “If that’s the case, take extra care.”

“Hmm.”

Mo Shiting gave a slight nod, finally stating the real reason for the meeting, “I’ve decided to withdraw GT from the A Nation market.”

Li Jinyao:”???”

Really? Just because of a breakup, he wouldn’t even set foot in A Nation?

Mo Shiting sure was rich and willful!

“Are you sure about this? No regrets?” Li Jinyao couldn’t help but question.

Mo Shiting curled his lips, a smile not reaching his eyes, “The word regret doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”

Li Jinyao:”…”

Seeing that Mo Shiting was determined to withdraw GT from the A Nation market, Li Jinyao didn’t try to persuade him anymore. After all, it was his company and he could do whatever he wanted with it.

After chatting with Mo for a while and seeing his mood gradually stabilize, Li Jinyao was relieved.

The next morning, Mo Shiting quietly checked out of the hospital and returned to the Mo mansion with Lu Yang.

Thanks to Hawk’s timely interception, Old Master Mo was completely unaware of what had happened in A Nation or that his long-awaited granddaughter-in-law was about to leave.

Today was the remembrance day of Mo Shiting’s father, Mo Xinghe. This had greatly affected the Old Master’s mood. From the moment he got up, he felt a sense of melancholy and was in low spirits.

“Grandfather,”

Mo Shiting entered the main house and saw his grandfather sitting in rosewood chair, absent-mindedly polishing a white jade vase.

He remembered that vase all too well. His father had made it by hand when he was young. It held great significance.

This time every year, the old man would take the vase from the safe for reflection and remembrance.

“Grandfather,”

Mo Shiting walked straight over and respectfully called out to him.

Old Master Mo looked up at the sound, “You’re back. Where’s Little Pear? Why don’t I see her?”

As he spoke, he looked around for Gu Li.

Mo Shiting’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t reveal the truth. Instead, he lied, “Gu Yuan couldn’t bear to let her go, so she’s staying a few more days in A Nation.”

“Oh, that makes sense.”

Old Master Mo didn’t doubt it.

Just mentioning Gu Li seemed to lift his spirits. He then started to nag his grandson, “Little Pear is so cute. If I were Gu Yuan, I wouldn’t let you off so easily..”
