Chapter 20 - Wronged Her?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The girl’s sparkling tears dripped onto the futon one by one. Seeing this, Mo Shiting felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation in his heart.

He then just turned his face away. “You’re not allowed to get up before dawn.”

After saying this coldly, he didn’t even look at her and strode away with a dark expression.

As soon as the man left, the spacious ancestral hall instantly looked exceptionally deserted.

Gu Li sniffed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

In the past, she had been punished by her master through kneeling before. But every time her master took a bit of his attention off her, she would always take the opportunity to slack off.

However, this time, perhaps because she was really sad, she didn’t even have the energy to slack off. Her back was straight as she knelt on the futon. From afar, she looked like a sculpture without any feeling.

…

After walking out of the ancestral hall, Mo Shiting became increasingly annoyed.

At this moment, the lead bodyguard, Rong Hu, walked forward and reported to him respectfully, “Young Master, Old Master came, but we didn’t let him in.”

“Got it.”

Mo Shiting nodded. “Did he say anything?”

“Um…”

Rong Hu hesitated for a moment before choosing the main point to tell him. “He said that if you continue to act like this, one day you’ll lose your wife and end up staying single forever!”

Hearing this, Mo Shiting’s handsome face turned completely cold, “Keep a close eye on her. If anything happens, I’ll hold all of you responsible for it.”

“Yes.”

…

Mo Shiting did not look for Old Master Mo. Instead, he directly returned to his house in the old residence.

It was an individual villa, and it was a distance away from the main house where Old Master Mo lived.

After taking a shower, the frustration in his heart still had yet to dissipate.

A glint flashed across Mo Shiting’s eyes. He decided to call Xia Xianghuai, who had already returned to M Nation, and ask him to inform the executives of the corporation’s branch in M Nation to have an online meeting.

By the time the meeting ended, it was already 1 a.m.

It was raining heavily outside, and it made people feel uneasy.

Mo Shiting picked up his phone on the table and saw that there was a missed call. It was a call from Song Yunque at around 11p.m.

There was also an unread message. “Fourth Brother, I’m so angry! That Qiu Yuxin actually dared to bully Fourth Sister-in-Law! She’s obviously not taking you seriously.”

Mo Shiting furrowed his brows and called him back.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up. “Fourth Brother, did you see my message? I really didn’t expect that the ‘A Sweet Pear’ that I like the most would actually be Fourth Sister-in-Law. We’re really so fated.”

“What do you mean by ‘a sweet pear’?”

Mo Shiting was dumbfounded.

“It’s Fourth Sister-in-Law’s ID on Station C, let me tell you…”

Knowing that he wasn’t one who kept up with the trends, Song Yunque immediately told him all about Gu Li’s ‘glorious achievements’, including the time when she got scolded by her fans for not updating the finale of the comic and became a trending topic.

After he finished speaking, Mo Shiting said, “Get to the point.”

“Huh? Isn’t this the main point?”

Song Yun Que was a little dumbfounded. When he came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but smack his forehead. “Oh my, look at me. I was so angry that I forgot about the actual thing. This was what happened… Fourth Sister-in-Law went onto the variety show ‘The Charming Female Star’ as a mentor, but half an hour before the recording, Qiu Yuxin replaced her with someone else. Ahhh! I’m so angry! Why did I only get the news tonight? If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have—”

“Okay, I got it.”

Not having the patience to listen to his chatter, Mo Shiting hung up coldly and gripped his phone tightly.

So she wasn’t going to the beauty pageant, and instead, she was going to be a mentor on the show as a comic guru, and she didn’t even participate in the recording in the end…

Boom!

A loud clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky. Realizing a certain possibility, Mo Shiting stood up immediately and strode out of his room quickly.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall in the heavy rain, Rong Hu, who was guarding the door, saw him and was slightly surprised.. “Young Master?”
