Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

“Old Master Mo kindly suggested.

Facing his undisguised concern, Gu Li’s eyes slowly turned red, misting up a little.

Fearing that she would inadvertently reveal her emotions in front of the old man, Gu Li bit her lip hard, forcing herself to smile: “No need Grandpa, I’m just tired and lacking sleep. I’ll be fine after a good rest.”

“Alright then, take good care of yourself.”

Knowing she didn’t want to come to the old house, the Old Master didn’t force her. After a few words of advice, he hung up the phone.

As soon as the call ended, the smile on the Old Master’s face quickly faded, replaced by unresolvable worry: “Ah, that rascal Mo Shiting really doesn’t give me peace of mind.”

Uncle Guan advised him: “Master, you should worry less, your health is more important.”

“How can I not worry? Give me the phone to call that rascal.”

“Yes.”

Uncle Guan hurriedly did as he was told, dialing Mo Shiting’s number.

Mo Shiting answered instantly: “Hello.”

Hearing his voice, the Old Master seethed with anger and shouted: “You rascal, where are you?”

“On my way to the airport.”

Mo Shiting answered truthfully.

Hearing this, the Old Master became even more angry, “Going to the airport?

Are you going on a business trip?”

“Yes, I have to go to City G for some urgent matter.”

“Your wife has run away, and you’re still thinking about going to City G? You good-for-nothing grandson, do you know, what awaits you once you and Little Pear divorce? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?”

The Old Master swore angrily.

It was only today that he suddenly remembered, both of them had to go to the civil affairs bureau yesterday to cancel the divorce, or else it would be official. Asking about it in the morning, he learned that the two hadn’t gone at all, the news making him so angry he almost had a heart attack.

Anyway, this must have been Mo Shiting’s mistake.

So, he called Little Pear first, and as expected, she was in a bad mood and wouldn’t even meet him. Mo Shiting must have upset her significantly.

The more Old Master Mo thought about it, the angrier he became, rebuking Mo Shiting for not learning his lesson.

Thank God Mo Shiting wasn’t in front of him, otherwise, he would certainly punish him.

Mo Shiting was already in a bad mood, and now being scolded by his grandfather, his face became even more gloomy, “Grandpa, stay out of my affairs.”

“You think I’m keen on meddling in your affairs!”

Old Master Mo hit the floor with his cane, “I might as well tell you, during the last family meeting, which you didn’t attend, all the elders swore at the ancestral hall that if you divorce Gu Li, they would take away your control over the Mo family, only to be returned to you when you reach thirty.”

Mo Shiting frowned, “Really?”

“Hmm! Didn’t see that coming, did you?”

Old Master Mo couldn’t help but huff in satisfaction, “Although I don’t want to see this situation either, you brought it onto yourself, so there’s no point in giving you sympathy. You better think about how you’ll handle this!”

Mo Shiting:

“Also, don’t think about coming back to the old house until you’ve fixed things with Little Pear! Goodbye!”

Having said his piece, the Old Master didn’t give him a chance to retort, hastily ending the call.

“Grandpa  ”

Mo Shiting had just wanted to stop him, but he was a step too late. The only sound greeting him was the steady beeping of the line.

Seeing this, Lu Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Young master, is it true what the Old Master said? Have you lost control of the Mo family?”

He didn’t eavesdrop on purpose, but the Old Master’s loud voice was too penetrating to ignore.

Mo Shiting didn’t answer Lu Yang’s question. He put down his phone, furrowed his brows, lost in thought.

After what seemed like forever, just when Lu Yang lost hope for an answer, he finally said quietly: “No.”

The Mo family was his father’s life work, he wouldn’t hand it over to anyone.

After the call with the Old Master, Gu Li’s mood didn’t improve, so she simply retreated back to her bedroom to lie in bed.

Before, when she felt down, she would just lie in bed and sleep. Sleeping would make her forget about all her troubles.

But right now, even though her body was exhausted, she couldn’t fall asleep.

Maybe she should find something else to do to distract herself?

Draw a cartoon?

Forget it, she didn’t feel inspired.

Go shopping?

Forget it, she wasn’t in the mood for buying anything.

After considering all her options, she decided the best thing to do was to stay at home.

And so, Gu Li shut herself in at home “resting” for two days, and then recovered completely, as if she had gradually moved on from the shock of the divorce and heartbreak..
