Lin Shiyu raised her eyebrows. “What happened with Gu Mohan?”
Tang Mo’er whispered into Lin Shiyu’s ears.
Lin Shiyu’s gaze suddenly became indifferent. She looked at Gu Mohan who was entertaining several big bosses. His respectable demeanor was often worshipped by others. “I wouldn’t have expected the capital’s wealthiest and most successful businessman to be so… unrestrained.”
“…”
For a moment, Tang Mo’er regretted telling Lin Shiyu. That morning, she was scolded by Gu Mohan when she told him that there were condoms in the drawer!
“Mo’er, your future mother-in-law, Madam Gu is here.” reminded Lin Shiyu.
Tang Mo’er looked up, only to see Huo Yanmei coming over with Lu Qi’er and Lin Ruoxi.
Huo Yanmei was a strong and independent woman. She had delicate hair and was dressed in a black dress—the very picture of and poise and elegance. With her fair complexion and refined manner, she was as beautiful as ever.
Tang Mo’er greeted politely, “Hello, Madam Gu.”
Huo Yanmei looked at Tang Mo’er coldly with her eyebrows raised and an accompanying indifferent expression. “Good evening, Miss Tang. I would like to introduce you to someone. It has been decided that she will be my daughter-in-law, this is Lu Qier.”
From her first words, Huo Yanmei already had Tang Mo’er a rough slap of reality from the moment they met.
“Tang Mo’er, do you understand now? You can be in love with Brother Mohan and date each other, but you’ll never ever be able to get enter the Gu family.” Lin Ruoxi scoffed arrogantly.
Before Lin Shiyu could say anything, Tang Mo’er pulled her back with a gentle hand. “Shiyu, sometimes when we’re bitten by dog, there isn’t a need to bite back.”
Lin Ruoxi, who had just been called a ‘dog’, had her features twisted in rage. “Youー!”
At this moment, the hall doors opened and there was a rush of cold air as someone exclaimed, “Look, Master Yan is here!”
Tang Mo’er looked up and saw a tall 1.9 meter figure appearing at the door. The man was clad in a black trench coat, his facial features were as sharp as knives. With a pair of brown eyes, they were lazy, yet carried a hint of darkness, seemingly capable of sucking the soul into their murky depths.
When he flexed, his strong muscles, the torso of his well-defined abdomen was as hard and firm as steel. He walked over gracefully like a preying lion, his overwhelming aura mesmerizing all the socialites around him.
“Who’s this?” Tang Mo’er asked Lin Shiyu quietly.
Lin Shiyu whispered, “Lu Yan, Lu Qi’er’s half-brother. Although he was raised by the Lu’s, he didn’t inherit their business empire. Instead, he went out to make a breakthrough with his own capabilities. All the piers in the capital belong to him, he heads the underworld and owns legal enterprises as well. Everyone addresses him as Master Yan.
Master Yan?
“He’s the big boss of the underworld?”
Lin Shiyu nodded. “You could put it like that. Lu Yan is someone dangerous. He’s bloodthirsty, lustful for power and has fickle encounters with women. I heard all women in the Capital want to hook up with him.”
Lu Yan stopped in front of Gu Mohan. The duo stood under the glimmering chandelier hanging from the ceiling and their outstanding countenance became the center of attention. “Mr Gu, you’ve abandoned my sister for that woman?”
Gu Mohan stealthily blocked Lu Yan so he wasn’t able to look at Tang Mo’er. Quirking his lips up, his voice was casual. “Master Yan, don’t make it sound like your sister is trash.”
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and chuckled loudly.
At this moment, a waiter suddenly bumped into Tang Mo’er and spilled alcohol all over her dress.
