Chapter 13

Mo Shiting was her only grandson, yet he had hidden it from her and gotten married without her consent. Moreover, the woman he had married was an unpresentable little girl. How ridiculous!

Gu Li didn’t know that before she had even met Old Madam Song, she was already utterly despised by her.

At this moment, she and Mo Shiting had just arrived at the Song family mansion.

After getting out of the car, Mo Shiting turned around and reminded her in a deep voice, “Be careful with your words and actions.”

Gu Li replied casually, “I know. I’m not a child. I know what to say and what not to say. Don’t worry, I won’t drag you down.”

Mo Shiting smiled coldly, “That’d better be the case.”

“But Young Master Mo—”

Gu Li suddenly stopped and looked at him curiously. “Will there be any of your exes or admirers who’ll trip me up? I’m so scared.”

Mo Shiting glanced at her from the corner of his eye. “You’re scared?”

Gu Li pretended to be aggrieved. “Of course, I’m so weak. I’m most afraid of getting bullied. Hubby, you have to protect me.”

With that, she grabbed his arm.

The girl’s hand was slender and beautiful. Under the contrast of his black suit, it was exceptionally fair and beautiful.

Mo Shiting was a little distracted for a moment before he came back to his senses and frowned in disdain, “Let go.”

Gu Li blinked her eyes with her curly eyelashes and revealed an innocent smile. “Didn’t you say that we have to act as a married couple in front of other people? We’ll look more like a couple this way. Let’s go in quickly, Hubby. Don’t make Grandma wait too long.”

Mo Shiting: “…”

After a few seconds of silence, he ignored the little claw on his arm and expressionlessly walked in with her according to her pace.

The moment the two of them appeared, they immediately caused a commotion.

The gown Gu Li was wearing had even become the center of attention.

“Oh my god, isn’t that gown the work of the great designer, Dana, and the treasured piece of the DN brand?”

“Yes. I saw it in a magazine a few days ago. I didn’t expect it to be on her.”

“It seems like Young Master Mo really likes that woman.”

“She’s not that good-looking either…”

The rich young ladies discussed bitterly among themselves, and they just wished they could gouge a few holes in Gu Li.

The wealthy ladies also had their own hidden thoughts. As they sized up Gu Li, they were secretly making their own assumptions. That old madam isn’t one who is easy to get along with. We’re definitely going to have a good show to watch.

Under everyone’s gaze, Mo Shiting and Gu Li finally arrived in front of Old Madam Song.

“Happy birthday, Grandma!”

Mo Shiting bowed slightly to Old Madam Song and introduced, “This is my wife, Gu Li.”

With a smile on her face, Gu Li greeted her naturally. “Hello, Grandma! May your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, and may you live as long as the Zhongnan Mountains!”

Old Madam Song didn’t even look at her once as she glared at Mo Shiting. “Follow me to the study.”

“Okay.”

Mo Shiting nodded slightly and followed after her along with Gu Li.

But just as she took a step, Old Madam Song said, “Miss Gu, welcome to my birthday party. I’m sorry, but as an outsider, it’s not convenient for you to participate in me and my grandson’s discussion.”

Although she spoke politely, she didn’t hide the coldness in her words at all. The corners of Gu Li’s lips stiffened slightly, but she quickly smiled and replied, “Okay, it’s alright.”

After speaking, she slowly let go of Mo Shiting’s arm.

The grandmother and grandson left the hall one after another.

When the aristocratic ladies and socialites around them saw this, they started whispering again and were making all sorts of comments towards Gu Li.

And of course, no one approached her.

Gu Li just simply ignored all of this and walked to a corner with a glass of red wine.

Looking at the joyous crowd under the bright lights in the hall, for some reason, there was a hint of loneliness in her heart.

“You’re Gu Li, right?”

In her daze, a young woman who was dressed in a green gown appeared in front of her and said arrogantly, “Please leave Young Master Mo immediately!”
