Chapter 540 - Lin Xuanji Was Only Pretending
Old Master had brought Jun Xiyan with him, arriving in front of Tang Mo’er.
“Miss Tang, it will be Mohan and Xiyan’s wedding day on the first day of next month. You must find the time to attend their wedding.”
Old Master Gu’s eyes were practically glittering with sparks, as he challenged Tang Mo’er with his gaze.
Tang Mo’er could only sneer inside but she had to take her hat off to Old Master Gu, he was indeed the most cunning person she’d come across.
Almost 40 years ago, the Gu family was beaten down by the Lu family and was at their rock-bottom. It was Old Master Gu who led the Gu family through their toughest times, he held the power to control everything.
The guest list for the day was impressive, everyone was well-bred and well-dressed. She, on the other hand, had nothing that would enable her to have the edge over them. Old Master Gu had done it on purpose, having her appear at the party just like a clown. What a good move.
Tang Mo’er straightened her back, smiling back at Old Master Gu. “Old Master, are you sincere about inviting me to their wedding? I’ll be sure to turn up, but I’m just afraid that once I appear, I’ll bring the groom away with me.”
“That’s right, if I were her, I’d be too shameful to even appear at this party.”
“Old Master must have warned her off earlier, let’s just wait to watch the drama.”
Tang Mo’er wasn’t in the mood to be bothered about their comments, she walked away and entered the bathroom.
…
In the bathroom, Tang Mo’er was washing her hands at the counter when she accidentally bumped into someone when she turned around.
“I’m sorry…” Tang Mo’er quickly apologized. She lifted her eyes and noticed that it was Jun Xiyan.
Tang Mo’er was stunned and before she could react, Jun Xiyan said, “It’s okay.”
Jun Xiyan walked in front of the sink and started washing her hands, her gaze riveted on Tang Mo’er’s face through the mirror. “Miss Tang, you must have heard earlier on, I’m getting married to Mohan next month. I’m Mohan’s bride-to-be and so I hope that you won’t continue to pester him again.”
Stop pestering Gu Mohan…
Her words resonated through Tang Mo’er’s ears. She turned around and wiped her wet hands with a paper napkin before tucking her silky hair behind her ears. Tang Mo’er remained composed and replied, “Miss Jun, I heard that you’re a diplomat, are you also confused about cause-effect even when you’re at work?”
Jun Xiyan was bewildered, her eyes widened as she looked at Tang Mo’er.
They were close to each other and Tang Mo’er used a voice that only Jun Xiyan could hear. “Everyone knows about my relationship with Gu Mohan, it’s just that Old Master Gu had sealed all news about it… but is Miss Jun going to cover things up in order to remain as Gu Mohan’s fiancée?
“Who gave you the right to ask me to not pester Gu Mohan even when you’re the homewrecker in this case? I didn’t even ask you to return Gu Mohan to me yet and you’re already asserting dominance now?
“I’m actually understanding of Miss Jun, since Mohan has lost his memories and Old Master Gu presented you with such a golden opportunity, it’s well within your rights to fight for your own happiness. However, if you spot a piece of gold on the streets and take it as your own, aren’t you just like a… thief?
“I’ve heard that Miss Jun has had an excellent upbringing and is an intelligent and refined woman, unlike the typical socialite and Old Master Gu also has high hopes for you. I didn’t expect you to behave like this, to be so desperate and stoop so low as to steal someone else’s partner. Why aren’t you putting in more effort to try and keep your man instead of coming at me and warning me to stop pestering him? Is this the supposed refined upbringing that the acclaimed Miss Jun is supposed to demonstrate?”
