Chapter 368 - 302: Didn’t See Her True Face_l

While eating barbecue wings, Gu Li remembered the Xinghe Cup she had mentioned earlier and couldn’t help but ask, “Darling, tell me about the Xinghe Cup Architectural Design Competition.”

Xiang Xiaoyue took a sip of her cola and told her, “The Xinghe Cup, true to its name, is a competition sponsored by Xinghe Group, previously known as the Mo Group. This year, it’s already the fourth session. Its primary purpose is to scout for talented elites for Xinghe’s construction projects from Imperial City University. Any students who place in the competition will be granted full scholarships and opportunities to study abroad by Xinghe Group. However, they must sign a contract with Xinghe that requires them to work for at least three years before they can leave.”

“Oh, that’s good then,”

Gu Li sincerely agreed.

Imperial City University’s architecture department is one of the world leaders, full of talented individuals, and Xinghe Group, too, is a top-ranking company, a perfect match.

At this moment, she couldn’t help thinking that Mo Shiting had indeed devoted a lot of effort in building and expanding the Mo Group.

“I think it’s pretty good too. I didn’t get selected last year, but I hope I have a chance this year.”

Xiang Xiaoyue said seriously.

Gu Li slightly nodded, “Keep going! I believe in you.”

“What about you? Do you want to sign up together?”

She enthusiastically suggested.

Gu Li shook her head with a smile, “I’m not participating.”

She didn’t need such an opportunity, and moreover, she didn’t want to compete with those who truly needed it.

“Why aren’t you participating?”

Xiang Xiaoyue was somewhat disappointed, “I was hoping that we could make an effort together.”

“I can still support you even if I don’t participate.”

“But I think opportunities like this are hard to come by, it’s a shame that you’re giving it up. Putting everything else aside, I believe that you’re definitely capable of getting selected.”

Xiang Xiaoyue had full confidence in Gu Li.

Gu Li laughed, “Thank you for your high opinion of me, but my family won’t let me work at Xinghe Real Estate, so… I won’t compete for this spot.”

Why not?

Just as Xiang Xiaoyue wanted to question further, her peripheral vision suddenly caught a man and woman holding hands intimately across the street from the restaurant. She dropped her phone on the ground with a crash. “What’s wrong?”

Seeing the off expression on Xiang Xiaoyue’s face, Gu Li couldn’t help but ask with concern.

It II

Xiang Xiaoyue was staring intently outside, ignoring her fallen phone.

Gu Li quickly picked up the phone and followed Xiang Xiaoyue’s gaze.

She saw a young couple hugging intimately under the sunset on the sidewalk. They just looked like a pair of lovers, and seemingly nothing seemed inappropriate.

However, Xiang Xiaoyue’s eyes were filled with rage and shock.

Could it be that she’s been cheated on?

The thought flashed through Gu Li’s mind. She widened her eyes and swallowed, trying to say something, but Xiang Xiaoyue had already mechanically stood up and was heading for the door with a stiff gait.

“Xiaoyue—”

Concerned, Gu Li hastily grabbed their bags and chased after her.

“Xiaoyue?”

Gu Li caught up with Xiang Xiaoyue in a few steps and worriedly looked at her, holding her arm. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Finally snapping back, Xiang Xiaoyue turned around and gave Gu Li a deep look, her tone calm: “Little Pear, what do you think I should do about a cheating boyfriend?”

Gu Li gritted her teeth, “Go up to him, slap him, and then proudly say, ‘I’m breaking up with you today!'”

“Haha…”

Xiang Xiaoyue was amused by Gu Li’s ruffled look, but while laughing, she suddenly teared up, her voice choked with sobs, “I want to do that, but I’m scared…”

Her tears started to pour out as she spoke. “He’s always been saying that he’s busy. I never thought that he would do something like this. I know that girl, the three of us were high school classmates and were really close. A few days ago, she even told me that she planned to invite us to dinner the next time my boyfriend came to visit…”

Gu Li:”…”

Life truly is filled with melodrama all over.

Heartbreaker, white lotus, best friend?

All gathered together.

While she felt terribly sorry for Xiang Xiaoyue, she also didn’t want to see her so weak, so she said, “Since you already know they are together behind your back, won’t you do anything to prevent him from having it both ways?”

“I… sob, I don’t know.”

Xiang Xiaoyue horribly wiped her tears, her eyes already turning red from crying.

The man and woman engrossed in their passionate kissing nearby were completely oblivious to their presence.

Gu Li didn’t like this at all. If the situation were reversed and she saw Mo Shiting passionately kissing another woman in public, she would have immediately rushed over and kicked him.

However, Mo Shiting wasn’t that kind of person, and she wouldn’t have that chance either..
