Chapter 165: Another Challenge
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before the apocalypse arrived, Mo Yu had been obsessed with literature starring domineering CEOs for a period of time. Now, her performance had perfectly grasped the expression of ‘30% disdain, 30% cold, and 40% playful’.
This was the first time Gu Lian had seen such an expression on his face. He felt a chill run down his spine. His brows were tightly knitted together. It was as if he could squeeze a fly to death.
However, it was obvious that the surrounding socialites were not like him. Instead, they covered their mouths and screamed.
Gu Lian could even hear them whispering that Gu Lian was simply too handsome like this. He was much better than the cold iceberg from before.
Gu Lian was expressionless, but he could not help but wonder why these people felt that he looked so handsome. Is it not a strange expression?
When Mo Yu heard the cheers around her, she could not help but feel light-headed. She also understood why there were always men who liked to act cool in a group of women. The feeling of a group of beauties surrounding you and constantly flattering you was indeed addictive.
She glanced at Gu Lian and continued to wave her hand generously. “Pick! Take whatever Xiao Yu likes!”
Gu Cheng looked at ’Gu Lian’, who had spent a lot of money for love, and then at the top-notch jade stone. In the end, he gritted his teeth and blamed all of this on Mo Yu’s good luck.
Gu Cheng did not give up. He leaned forward and bent down slightly to talk to ‘Gu Lian’. “Nephew, don’t just let Xiao Yu choose. Why don’t you pick a stone to play with?”
How could Mo Yu not understand what this very unintelligent sly old fox wanted to do? She pretended to think for a moment, then raised her eyes slightly and turned to look at Gu Cheng. “Uncle, Xiao Yu is my future wife-to-be. Her choice is no different from mine. However, since the elders have spoken, as your nephew, I naturally have to listen a little. How about this? Let’s play a round together?”
Gu Cheng was too anxious to see Gu Lian suffer. Since he had already offered this condition, he could only accompany him to the end.
Moreover, he knew which stones he had tampered with. When the time came, he could deliberately lure Gu Lian to those stones.
Men always had some inexplicable desire to win. Moreover, the material Mo Yu had picked just now was so good. Gu Lian would definitely be impatient to prove his strength. When he saw such a good stone under the light, he would definitely be tempted.
Gu Cheng thought of his excuse later and smiled as he asked Gu Lian to choose a stone with him.
Mo Yu smiled at Gu Lian, who was watching the show in her body, and immediately changed the two of them back.
The moment their gazes met, Gu Lian felt that something was wrong. Indeed, in the next second, he was forced to return to his body and begin a new round of stone gambling.
Gu Lian could only maintain a smile and go on stage. In his heart, he cursed more dirtily than anyone else.
In the eyes of onlookers, the gaze they shared had a different meaning. Someone interpreted this as Gu Lian provoking Mo Yu and telling Mo Yu not to be smug. He could choose a stone that was better than that jade.
Some people interpreted this as a comforting smile, letting Mo Yu know that he would not lose. More people thought that this smile was completely the fun of a young couple, showing off their love to everyone in public.
Mo Yu did not expect her smile to bring so many thoughts to everyone. She only wanted to watch the show and wait for Gu Lian to slap Gu Cheng’s face.
Gu Lian and Gu Cheng walked in front of the many stones and began their selection journey.
Gu Lian glanced at it calmly and slowly turned to look at the next stone.
On the other hand, Gu Cheng checked and shone the light. After a long while, he finally walked to the stones with the paint. After checking them like before, he started to shine the light and let out a short cry.
“Wow!”
Then, he immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth and looked in Gu Lian’s direction. As if he was afraid of being discovered by him, he took out his flashlight again and started shining it carefully.
Although his acting was a little exaggerated, it was obvious that he had attracted the attention of many people. The onlookers began to discuss. This reaction might mean that he really found some good material..
