"Oh, acting tough, huh!"
Lin Shuai was slightly surprised, not expecting Mo Ruoqing’s attitude to be so firm.
Xinyuan, a place Lin Shuai was familiar with, had given him insight into Mo Ruoqing’s temperament. At this moment, she must be feeling fearful!
Yet, despite being scared to death, she remained here, trembling.
Could there be a special reason?
Lin Shuai’s keen mind guessed correctly!
Mo Ruoqing did have her reasons!
Her desire to deal with Gu Tong wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. She would risk offending the master to find a suitable reason!
The greatest temptation she felt was the impending return of Gong Chenli’s nephew, making her suddenly realize the master’s true intention in buying back Xue Tong.
Mo Ruoqing’s status was special; she was a woman with significant power within Xinyuan, and she believed she had earned Gong Chenli’s trust.
That was why she was confident that if she got rid of Gu Tong, she would be the sole candidate as the beautiful woman!
The master’s nephew was nobility, after all!
Even becoming a mistress would pave a smooth path for her future.
Mo Ruoqing was fully set on becoming the mistress of Xinyuan, and now she wanted to be the lover of the master’s nephew. This was entirely due to her inherently flirtatious nature, and once her greed kicked in, she couldn’t turn back!
In simple terms, it was her greedy heart that was leading her to dig her own grave.
Lin Shuai had never had any good feelings toward Mo Ruoqing!
More than anything, he felt disgust and disdain!
Thinking back to when he was at Xinyuan, if not for Mo Ruoqing, many things wouldn’t have happened.
"Ruqing is handling business, and I hope Young Master Lin can make it convenient..."
Mo Ruoqing said these words with a stiff upper lip, inwardly wishing Lin Shuai would leave quickly.
Lin Shuai’s lips curled into a slight, mischievous smile as he said, "What if I don’t?"
He would not miss any chance to make Mo Ruoqing uncomfortable; opposing her was just right!
The provocative words landed, and Mo Ruoqing’s face turned dark...
Indeed, people change! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
The current Lin Shuai was no longer the young man who could be easily manipulated!
"Ruqing is following the master’s orders... If Young Master Lin is unwilling to allow it... then I can only report to the master..."
Lin Shuai feared nothing. The only person he feared was the master! Mo Ruoqing had always used the master to pressure him, winning every time, never failing!
Her words reached the ears of the bodyguards, and their first reaction was to twitch at the corners of their mouths...
They had never seen someone courting death , repeatedly charging into the forbidden zone, unaware of restraint...
This Mo Ruoqing seriously underestimated the young master...
Don’t be fooled by the young master’s frivolous and harmless appearance...
In truth, he was a hidden lion. If he truly got angry, even the master couldn’t stop him! To be precise, the master wouldn’t stop him either.
Lin Shuai’s eyes narrowed dangerously, giving him an altogether dangerous demeanor. Sure enough, he was displeased by Mo Ruoqing’s words!
This feeling seeped through his entire body, inescapably lingering!
However, he didn’t make a move but instead glanced upstairs――
"Gong Chenli! You’re having too much fun watching the show, aren’t you!"
One sentence dropped and instantly caused a stir, drawing everyone’s gaze upstairs to the figure leaning against the railing!
Gong Chenli, wearing a white eye patch and a white robe, with dazed eyes, had clearly just woken up from a dream.
He heard Lin Shuai’s commotion and couldn’t help but rub his ears, saying, "This little matter, just handle it yourself!"
Ha, easy for him to say!
Lin Shuai sneered, yet he didn’t go head-to-head with Gong Chenli. Instead, he tightened his grip on the hand placed on Gu Tong’s shoulder, saying, "Your apprentice, whom you pointed out to me, is being bullied! Tell me, how should this be handled!"
