"None of your business!"
Tong Mo lazily rolled her eyes at her and then lowered her head to continue reading.
"You..." Tong Nian was about to say something else when the class bell rang, and the professor walked in.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to give up and casually took a seat.
But her eyes were still maliciously fixed on Tong Mo.
If you won’t tell me, then I’ll find someone to find out myself.
As soon as the class was over, Tong Nian immediately went to hire a private detective to keep an eye on Tong Mo.
She had heard that at the birthday party of Viscountess Li three days later, the engagement between Li Dasha and Tong Nian would be officially announced. They might even be sent abroad to register their marriage immediately.
So, she had to seize the opportunity to bring down Tong Mo and have the engagement settled on her own head.
Soon, the private detective sent her a message.
"Miss Tong, your sister is living with a man."
Then the detective sent her a few photos.
Tong Nian zoomed in on the photos and immediately recognized that the girl in them was Tong Mo.
The man next to her, however, was not clear because every time he went out, he wore a mask and a hat, as if he didn’t want to be seen.
Tong Nian sneered contemptuously, thinking that this man must not be any good. After all, he didn’t even dare to show his face.
It had to be said, Tong Nian’s imagination was truly rich. The reason Li Zijue was disguised was to prevent paparazzi and media from snapping his photos.
But Tong Nian was not aware of these details. She immediately called the private detective, "Are you sure my sister is really living with someone?"
Having experienced the fiasco last time when she falsely accused Tong Mo and Zhuo Wen of a student-teacher relationship, she was especially careful this time.
After all, one shouldn’t stumble in the same spot twice.
The private detective nodded undoubtedly, "I’ve been observing them for several days. They are living together."
"Good." Now reassured, Tong Nian’s thin lips coated with Barbie pink lipstick curled into a malicious arc as she continued, "Wait until three days later and help me with another task. I’ll double your fee..."
"What is it?" asked the private detective.
"It’s..." Tong Nian lowered her voice.
Upon hearing, the private detective immediately nodded, "No problem."
Tong Nian then hung up the phone, her pretty face revealing a malevolent smile that did not match her age.
Last time her attempt to ensnare her own teacher and topple Tong Mo had failed, but this time, with solid evidence, she doubted Tong Mo could recover.
Soon it was three days later.
Early in the morning, Viscount Li took Tong Mo to a makeup salon they had long booked and even personally paid for a costly and exquisite gemstone evening gown for her.
"I’m about to meet my fiancé and mother-in-law in name. Are you not jealous at all?" Tong Mo couldn’t help but look at him skeptically.
Li Zijue shook his head, "Not jealous."
As he spoke, he affectionately brushed away the hair that fell beside her ears.
"Really?" Tong Mo looked up at him incredulously. As expected, there was no sign of jealousy on the man’s face.
Even more, there was... a smile.
It was as if he was pleased!
Tong Mo couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Once they were ready, Li Zijue personally escorted her into the banquet hall.
Under the crystal lighting, the Hilman Grand Hotel was brightly lit. Guests milled around in grand clothing, holding high wine glasses filled with red wine, flattering and chatting with each other.
