Chapter 269 - Gu Tianling Revoked Tang Mo’er’s Name

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was perfect timing for CEO Wan to call as she had planned to call him too.

“Hello, CEO Wan.” greeted Tang Mo’er.

“Hello, Miss Tang.”

“CEO Wan, DHA Official has already released the official list for the finals. Why is Lin Ruoxi announced but I’m not?” Tang Mo’er decided to address the elephant in the room and broached the subject.

“This...” CEO Wan stuttered, seemingly not able to formulate a response. “Miss Tang, are you free tomorrow? I can’t explain this over the phone. Let’s meet face to face so we can talk.”

Tang Mo’er thought for a while. “Alright.”

...

CC Bar.

The waiter brought Tang Mo’er into a luxurious room. “Miss Tang, CEO Wan is inside.”

“Alright, thanks.”

Tang Mo’er opened the door and was greeted with a shock. Not only was CEO Wan there, another two people were also present.

Gu Tianling and Butler Ye.

Tang Mo’er did not know Gu Tianling. However, she vaguely remembered that she had bumped into this man outside the banquet hall on the night of Gu Mohan and Lu Qi’er’s engagement celebration.

Who was he?

“Miss Tang, you’ve arrived. Come over and let me introduce you. This is President Gu’s father.” CEO Wan forced out an awkward smile.

Tang Mo’er was shocked. So this man turned out to be Gu Mohan’s father, Gu Tianling.

“Nice to meet you Uncle Gu.” Tang Mo’er greeted him politely.

Gu Tianling looked at Tang Mo’er’s small, delicate face. The only thing on his mind was how perfectly Tang Mo’er resembled Lin Xuanji. There was an underlying spark of irrational obsession and passion in his eyes.

Over the past 30 years, he had kept a lot of mistresses outside. The only reason why he kept them was solely because they all resembled Lin Xuanji. However, this was his first time meeting someone who resembled her so perfectly.

The flame in his heart started to burn brightly.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Tang. Come and sit here.” Gu Tianling gestured to the empty seat next to him.

Tang Mo’er’s heart thumped wildly with a strange uncertainty. Gu Tianling wanted her to sit on the sofa next to him. She was unsure if she was overthinking— a man wanting a woman to sit on the sofa alone with him seemed to hint at something she didn’t want to consider.

But that was impossible. After all, Gu Tianling was Gu Mohan’s father. He probably knew that she had dated Gu Mohan.

She was his son’s ex-girlfriend.

It made no sense at all.

Feeling uncomfortable, Tang Mo’er sat quietly on the sofa nearby, but not beside him. “Uncle Gu, I’ll just sit here.”

Gu Tianling’s face sank and he didn’t look pleased.

Tang Mo’er looked at CEO Wan, “CEO Wan, can you now explain why is my name not on DHA list?”

“This...” CEO Wan looked at Gu Tianling who sat opposite him.

Gu Tianling crossed his legs and buried himself in the sofa to smoke.

“CEO Wan, go out and get me a bottle of red wine.”

“Yes.” CEO Wan immediately went out, but not before sneaking a furtive glance at Tang Mo’er. He let out a heavy sigh.

After CEO Wan had left, there was only Gu Tianling and Tang Mo’er left in the room. From CEO Wan’s behaviour, Tang Mo’er had already sensed something was suspicious, so she asked Gu Tianling calmly in a direct tone, “Uncle Gu, were you the one who revoked my name?”

Gu Tianling smoke his cigarette and puffed out a steady stream of smoke. His eyes fell on Tang Mo’er’s delicate body. She was wearing a pink dress with her black, silky hair untied and she looked every bit the feminine goddess of his dreams.

How he wished he could have touched her creamy, smooth skin on that rainy day.

At this moment, Butler Ye walked up and smiled charmingly, “Miss Tang, it’s actually very easy for us to add your name to the list. It’s also possible for us to make you the representative of DHA. You know what you need to do, right?”
