Chapter 544: 373: The Person Behind the Scenes has been Found_1

Murong Si was not fond of Lu Cong. Truthfully, he was cool by nature. Apart from Gu Li, he was not interested in anybody, be they man or woman.

Because of this, even when it came to something as significant as his cousin’s marriage, his congratulations were dismissive. He lacked the patience to exchange even a few pleasantries, and promptly drove away.

Watching his speeding car diminish from sight, Murong Qian shrugged her shoulders, tugged at Lu Cong’s sleeve and urged him, “Let’s go, my parents should be waiting inside.”

“Alright.”

Lu Cong nodded slightly and entered with her.

As they got closer and closer to the main house, he grew more and more nervous. After all, this time, he would be not only facing his in-laws but also his son, Murong Yun.

Just thinking about how the handsome and delicate little boy was the product of his love with Murong Qian, Lu Cong couldn’t help but feel a swelling in his heart. It was a bit sour, a bit painful, but above all, it was filled with overwhelming happiness and pride.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but squeeze Murong Qian’s hand, once again reaffirming his conviction to love her unconditionally for the rest of his life.

…

Ever since acknowledging Gu Li, Tang Wan took her everywhere, leaving the impersonator alone on the side.

The impersonator got irritated and tried to confront Tang Wan multiple times, only to be sent away with a few terse words.

Seeing this, Qin Shurong grew more and more perplexed and began to suspect that something was amiss. After all, no matter how much Tang Wan liked Gu Li, she wouldn’t put her before her own biological daughter, would she?

Could it be that the DNA test results were wrong?

This realization caused her to feel a sudden surge of anxiety.

Unable to continue pretending she was fine, the impersonator made a call to seek help.

Unbeknownst to her, her actions were all under the surveillance of Mo Shiting.

The Xinghe Group branch in M Country.

Lu Yang hurriedly pushed open the door to the president’s office, “Young master, we’ve found out who the impersonator has been contacting. You’ll never guess who it is.”

Mo Shiting lifted his gaze from the computer screen just in time to hear Lu Yang utter three characters.

…

Meanwhile, Gu Li was accompanying Tang Wan on a shopping spree.

Having finally found her daughter, Tang Wan naturally wanted to give her the best the world had to offer. So, within an hour, she splurged millions on various kinds of clothes, bags, makeup, and even jewelry for Gu Li.

Seeing Tang Wan spend money so freely as if she was a spendthrift housewife, Gu Li couldn’t help but stop her. “That’s enough, Mommy. I don’t really need all this stuff, so don’t waste your money.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Despite being Miss Gu, who never had to worry about her needs, she had never indulged in spending money recklessly. After all, in her view, money should be spent wisely. These millions could have been used to accomplish many things.

But Tang Wan ignored her advice and bought her another bag that cost several hundred thousand. Her eyes crinkled in laughter as she said, “Relax, your mom has plenty of money. We can afford this.”

Gu Li could only resist, “Mommy, I am not worried about you having no money, it’s just that——”

Tang Wan interrupted her before she could complete her sentence, “Sweetie, your mommy hasn’t spent a single cent on you in over a decade. Let me make up for those lost years, alright?”

As she said this, Tang Wan’s eyes welled up with tears and her voice became choked.

Gu Li felt a pang in her heart. She opened her arms and embraced Tang Wan, burying her face in her shoulder and nodded vigorously, “I’m sorry, Mommy. I wasn’t considering your feelings. Go ahead and buy whatever you want, no matter the price, I won’t object anymore.”

Tang Wan laughed at her childish words, “You make it out like your mommy is so extravagant.”

Gu Li pouted, “Isn’t she, though? But my mommy may be a spendthrift, she also knows how to make money. My mommy is the most amazing woman in the world.”

“Hehe…”

Tang Wan chuckled lightly, “Sweetie, you’re even more amazing. After all, you’re the world champion super-genius.”

“Well, that’s because I inherited good genes from you and dad.”

Gu Li let go of Tang Wan, subtly baiting her.

This was the first time she had mentioned her father in front of Tang Wan.

After saying that, she quietly observed Tang Wan’s expression. As expected, the next instant she saw the smile on Tang Wan’s lips freezing, her face becoming serious, “From now on, don’t mention that person in front of me.”

“Alright, Mommy.”

Gu Li obediently replied. However, she sighed inwardly, not knowing what caused her parents to part ways at the beginning, resulting in them not seeing each other anymore. Even her father deliberately concealed his identity, not allowing her and her mom to recognize each other.

Perhaps her mother harbored even more resentment towards her father due to this?

“I’m sorry, Tang Tang, Mommy shouldn’t have yelled at you, please don’t blame Mommy.”

No matter what beef she had with Gu Yuan, her daughter was the most treasured thing she finally regained. Tang Wan quickly regretted reprimanding her and apologized to Gu Li with a little regret.

How could Gu Li not understand Tang Wan’s thoughts?

Just because she did understand, she felt even more pity for Tang Wan. So, she intervened again, holding Tang Wan, “Mommy, Tang Tang will not blame you. I don’t even have time to express how much I love you, how could I resent you? But is there really no chance for reconciliation between you and my father?”

All these years, there was not a single woman by her father’s side. She couldn’t really believe that he had let go of her mother.

As for her mother, she had never met any man either. Didn’t this suggest that the two of them might actually still have a chance at mending their relationship?

As their daughter, Gu Li naturally hoped for a harmonious family, hoping that her parents could restore their previous good relationship.

Tang Wan shook her head, scoffed without a second thought, “In this lifetime, I never want to see him again!”

Gu Li: “…..”

———

The mother and daughter had a fruitful shopping spree, carrying numerous big and small bags out of the mall.

Mo Shiting personally came to pick them up driving himself.

He helped them load more than a dozen bags into the trunk. By then, Tang Wan and Gu Li had also gotten into the back seat, turning Mo Shiting into a full-time driver.

However, he was rather pleased about it.

“Brother Ting, Mommy bought me lots of stuff, and there are also things for you.”

After the car steadily got on the road, Gu Li couldn’t wait to tell Mo Shiting about it.

Mo Shiting politely said to Tang Wan: “Thank you, Mom. You shouldn’t have.”

“As long as you like it.”

Tang Wan replied with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Mo Shiting began to cut to the chase, “We found out who’s behind the counterfeit.”

“You found out? Who is it?”

Gu Li asked eagerly.

Tang Wan, on the other hand, clenched her fist tight and was as unsettled as Gu Li.

Well! She indeed wanted to know who had such a vendetta against her that they would send a knock-off to fool her.

“Shen Yunsi.”

Mo Shiting said these three words with a grave expression.

“Who?”

Gu Li blinked, thinking she had heard wrong.

While Tang Wan seemed even more clueless as she didn’t know who this person was at all.

“Shen Yunsi.”

Mo Shiting repeated, his tone filled with disgust.

He really didn’t want to utter these three words. After all, saying those words from his mouth felt like blasphemy to him.
