Chapter 558: 386: There is something you must know_1

Seeing Tang Yue there as well, Mo Shiting was slightly taken aback, but his surprise quickly morphed into a light smile, “When did you get here?”

“This afternoon.”

Tang Yue responded with a faint smile and a nod, “Happy birthday! And, congratulations on your wedding.”

“Thank you.”

As the two started a sparse conversation, Gu Li, understanding the situation, stood up to go to the kitchen and prepare a few more dishes.

She never liked to waste food, so she had only prepared dinner for two. Adding in a grown man like Tang Yue, it was certainly insufficient.

Taking advantage of Gu Li’s absence in the kitchen, Mo Shiting finally hid the smile from the corner of his mouth. His expression abruptly turned serious, “There’s something you must know.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

Tang Yue hadn’t expected him to change his demeanor so suddenly. His eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly turned serious as well.

“The reason why Tang Tang went missing when she was a child was because Qin Shurong tricked her away and deliberately abandoned her.”

Even though many years had passed since then, the thought of the hardships Tang Tang had endured during her childhood still caused a dull ache in Mo Shiting’s heart.

If he hadn’t found her on the street that day, who knows how much more suffering she would have had to endure.

“You’re saying Shu Rong… how is that possible? She was only ten-years-old at that time.”

Tang Yue’s first reaction was disbelief.

He had known Qin Shurong for over twenty years. The impression he had of her was gentle, delicate, and always smiling. She didn’t seem malevolent at all.

Could it be that it was all an act?

If so, then her acting skills were simply too impeccable.

Mo Shiting had anticipated Tang Yue’s reaction. He simply picked up his phone and handed the evidence that he had Li Jinyao gather over to Tang Yue, “Here, take a look.”

It took Tang Yue a couple of seconds to accept Mo Shiting’s phone. He lifted his head and began reading the information on the screen.

The further he read, the more serious his expression became. By the time he finished reading the thick file, his whole body was trembling.

Such audacity from Qin Shurong, to treat Tang Tang this way. Not only was she ungrateful, but she also forced his sister and Tang Tang to be separated…

What’s more infuriating is that all these years, they hadn’t managed to see her true colors. Not only did they wholeheartedly cultivate her, but his sister even planned to give the shares she holds in the Tang Group to her.

Ha!

Luckily, due to spending his time building a relationship with Tang Tang recently, he hadn’t found time to handle this matter. Otherwise, they would have given an undeserved advantage to her.

Tang Yue wished he could tear Qin Shurong limb from limb. However, after all, she was He Meng’s daughter, and He Meng was Tang Wan’s close friend and savior.

If it hadn’t been for He Meng back then, there probably wouldn’t have been Tang Wan and Gu Li now.

If they dealt with Qin Shurong, wouldn’t He Meng be unhappy with them?

Mo Shiting naturally understood Tang Yue’s concerns. He knew about He Meng’s life-saving grace toward Gu Li and her mother. But wrong is wrong, and those who have done wrong must be punished. This is an unalterable principle. Even if Qin Shurong was only a 10-year-old girl back then.

In addition, since she was already so wicked at just 10-years old, he can’t believe that the current Qin Shurong is any better now.

With that thought, Mo Shiting raised his eyebrows and went ahead to send a message to Li Jinyao, instructing him to continue investigating Qin Shurong.

Unexpectedly, Li Jinyao immediately replied: [I was just about to tell you that Shen Yunsi has somehow learned about the truth of Gu Li’s disappearance as a child and has a handle on Qin Shurong. I think she will probably use Qin Shurong to harm Gu Li. Be careful.]

[Okay.]

Mo Shiting replied briefly with a single word, his profound eyes narrowing, a hint of killing intent flashed across them.

Just then, Gu Li had finished preparing dinner and cheerily called for them, “You handsome gentlemen, come over here for dinner.”

“Coming.”

The dark cloud on Mo Shiting’s face had completely faded away at this moment, instantly transformed into a gentle smile as he walked over with his hands in his pockets.

With Tang Yue following him, looking at Gu Li’s bright smile caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, both of these grown men were good at hiding their emotions. The atmosphere was lively and harmonious throughout the meal.

After dinner, with no desire to stay and be the third wheel, Tang Yue made up an excuse and left.

Now, only the newlyweds who had just obtained their marriage certificate were left in the spacious villa.

The air seemed to carry a hint of sweetness all of a sudden.

“Brother Ting, do you want to see the gift I prepared for you?”

Gu Li led the way up the stairs first. Turning back, she gave him a playful wink.

A glint flashed in Mo Shiting’s eyes as he immediately followed, “What gift?”

“Hehe, you’ll know when you see it.”
