Chapter 579: How Ruthless
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi said to Mo Li, “Miss Mo, you’re doing a great job as a secretary. Also, the dipping sauce that comes with our braised pork is graded. Do you want the highest grade as well?”
Mo Li forced a smile, responding, “Yes, the best of everything. Miss Gu, you don’t need to ask for each item, just use the best. The cost doesn’t matter, as long as the gifts are good.”
Although Mo Li was frugal, she understood that the money being spent wasn’t hers. If Gong Zhan was willing to spend, why should she object?
Moreover, Mo Li saw this as a good thing. If Gu Zi could scheme to make Gong Zhan spend a large sum on braised pork, then she must not care much for him.
This meant that if she wanted to become Gong Zhan’s legitimate woman, she only needed to push Lin Miao aside.
This would save her a lot of trouble. As long as Gu Zi didn’t interfere, even if Lin Miao was released from prison, she would find a way to remove her from Gong Zhan’s side.
Letting Gu Zi take more of Gong Zhan’s money was also a good thing. Mo Li had already planned that after buying the braised pork, she would whisper a few words in Gong Zhan’s ear. He would surely find Gu Zi greedy and unscrupulous, willing to do anything for money.
In this case, even if Gong Zhan still had feelings for Gu Zi, he would never lower himself to pursue her. That would be enough.
Mo Li didn’t need this man to have her in his heart. As long as he had feelings for Gu Zi but wouldn’t pursue her, and she could imitate Gu Zi to some extent, staying by this man’s side would be enough.
Gu Zi weighed the braised pork for Mo Li, had Li Hua bring the packaging materials, and began to pack. She personally packed all nine gift boxes in less than ten minutes. Each gift box was exquisitely beautiful, and each had a congratulatory card.
Finally, Gu Zi handed the bill to Mo Li with a smile, “Today’s total consumption is 499.8 yuan. Let’s round it down to 499! A friendly reminder, the braised pork can be kept at room temperature for two days, and in the refrigerator for a week.”
Although Mo Li was prepared, her heart still clenched when she received the bill. 499! With this kind of pricing, Gu Zi would be a rich woman by next year without needing to keep the shop open. This woman was truly ruthless!
However, she remained calm on the surface, took the bill, and went to report to Gong Zhan and get the money. Meanwhile, Li Hua and An Yun provided excellent service, carrying the gift boxes one by one to Gong Zhan’s car, and even gave a small bag of braised pork for tasting.
When Gong Zhan saw the number on the bill Mo Li brought, he secretly gasped. He had not expected to spend such a large sum in a small-town shop. Was Gu Zi running a braised pork shop or a robbery? It was outrageous!
However, he would never show this. He arrogantly pulled out five hundred yuan from his wallet and gave it to Mo Li to pay. Then he left the shop without looking back, got into his car, and waited for Mo Li.
No one knew that when Gong Zhan returned, the only thing left in his high-end leather wallet was the one yuan change from Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop…
Inside Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop, Gu Zi counted the money she had just earned and couldn’t help but laugh, “What high-ranking official’s son? He’s just a vain fool. Apart from being good-looking and having a good family background, what else does he have? Gu Zi, how could you have fallen for him?”
She was not referring to herself, but the original owner of her body, but the others didn’t understand the meaning behind her words.
An Yun and Li Hua were still worried that Gu Zi might feel wronged, so they came over to comfort her. An Yun said to her daughter, “You were young then, and didn’t understand what a good man was. Women, we all have times when we love the wrong person. But luckily, you’ve met Su Shen now. Let’s not think too much about the past, okay?”
Li Hua nodded, agreeing, “Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you are a blessed person. Gong Zhan doesn’t have this fortune. He was destined to miss you.”
Gui Hua came back, curious, “This man is handsome and young, and the car he drives is not ordinary. From what you’re saying, he’s Gu Zi’s ex-boyfriend, right? You don’t want him? How about introducing him to me?”
Li Hua and Gui Hua were the closest, and Gui Hua sometimes liked to say things without thinking. Li Hua couldn’t help but retort, “You can’t reach him. If you’re so eager to find a boyfriend, I’ll introduce you to one. You know him too. What do you think of Lin Hun?”
