My Hubby is a Business Mogul - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: He Was Not a Charity Organisation
Pei Qian and Song Yazhan left in separate cars. When Pei Qian’s car left the hotel, a black car drove past him.

He found out that the person driving the car was Mo Shaoting. Pei Qian could even see the hint of gloominess in his eyes.

This made Pei Qian very uncomfortable…

Not only was it because of the past Gu Xi shared with this person, but if Mo Shaoting liked Gu Xi, then he had betrayed him!

He really did not know if he was supposed to be happy or pity Gu Xi!

However, this thought quickly flashed past Pei Qian’s mind as he was not any charitable person either.

He wanted to make Gu Xi fall in love with him fully…

Once a woman fell in love with a man, she would at least be loyal to the man in the next ten years or so!

While he, Pei Qian, did not need those women who flirted around!

He expressionlessly drove his car away…

On the other hand, Mo Shaoting stopped his car at the roadside.

He winded down the car window and slowly lit up a cigarette.

Last night, he personally sent Gu Xi to Pei Qian’s bed…

He had what he wanted, yet he was in the least happy at all!

All these years, Gu Xi always hated him…

The reason was pretty ridiculous as well…

He was older than Gu Xi by four years. Because the Gu and Mo Family did not get along, despite knowing each other, both of them were not too familiar with each other!

Until one time when he was twenty-four and she had just reached twenty-years-old…

He made a bet with a few other young masters on whether he could successfully court Gu Xi—the most impossible person that he could end up with!

Since she was young, Gu Xi never put up a front in the presence of those types of people, and because of her cold expression, she received the title of an ice princess…

At that moment, it was a very tempting challenge for a young-blooded person like him…

Hence, he got closer to Gu Xi… At the start, she ignored him.

He spent half a year persuading her to have a meal with him.

After that meal, he sent her home. He probably drank too much alcohol, hence why he was a little rushed and touchy with her in the car.

He recalled that when he kissed her, he said, “Gu Xi, I want to do you!”

At that moment, his face suffered a burning slap…

Actually, he did not take advantage of her since he had not even kissed her lips. He merely kissed her cheeks!

No one was able to hit him in his life before…

When he came back to his senses, Gu Xi had already got down the car and called a cab!

The other side of the road was not easy to walk on, and despite his frustration, he still did not want anything to happen to her.

But she was still very stubborn and refused to get in the car…

In the end, he followed after her with his car the whole night…

He finally experienced her temper as she wore high heels and walked through the night…

Her feet were definitely bleeding, but she did not stop walking for even a minute…

That night, as he watched her enter the Gu Old Residences, his heart turned a little confused.

He realized something yet it was blurry, and he could not seem to catch that realization… However, he knew deep in his heart that the reason he and Gu Xi could never be together was not because of the hostility between the two families but because Gu Xi was disgusted with him!

Mo Shaoting smoked and his handsome face looked a little out of sorts as he recalled about the past… That night, if he was not so anxious and treasured her properly, would things be different?

Would things not end up like this where he betrayed his heart and even sent her to another men’s bed!

Mo Shaoting pursed his lips with a look of self-mockery!

Gu Xi wore Pei Qian’s clothes and drove her car with a troubled heart…

She aimlessly drove the car and had gone two rounds around the city before she drove the car back to her apartment.

At her apartment entrance, she saw Lin Yunzhi!

Lin Yunzhi held a travel bag and stared at Gu Xi. She blurted, “I wanted to give you a surprise but it seems like you are the one who gave me a surprise!”

She slowly walked towards her and grabbed the men’s clothing on Gu Xi’s body. She flipped it around and inspected it before she softly laughed. “Do these belong to Pei Qian?”

Gu Xi took her keys and opened the door. She said, “It almost could have been Mo Shaoting’s.”

Lin Yunzhi caught the main point and hugged Gu Xi, not letting her enter the house. “What did you say?”

What more did that bastard want to do?

Gu Xi glanced at Miss Ding who seemed to be leaving her house while wearing an intrigued look. She whispered, “Yunzhi, please save some face for me. If you continue to ask more questions, Miss Ding will think that I spent the night with two men.”

Lin Yunzhi laughed. “So even you know it’s embarrassing!”

She paused momentarily before she berated her. “Look at you! You are wearing men’s clothing in the early morning! Even a moron would know you hung out with a man last night!”

“Stop talking!” Gu Xi pushed the door open and pulled Lin Yunzhi into the house.

Outside, Miss Ding imagined the scene of Gu Xi hanging out with… Mr. Pei last night!

However, needless for Miss Ding to imagine, all of City H saw them in the newspapers that morning!

While Gu Xi was explaining what had happened to Lin Yunzhi, the newspapers sold off like hot cakes!

“Does this mean hotcakes was Mo Shaoting’s scheme?” Lin Yunzhi gritted her teeth. “This smelly man is really daring!”

Gu Xi calmed down and said, “I think this is definitely Tang Xinru’s idea. She might have wanted…”

She only spoke after a long while. “She might have wanted me and Mo Shaoting to sleep together…”

“But she probably does not know that Mo Shaoting betrayed her.” Lin Yunzhi continued her words.

Gu Xi nodded her head. “That should have been the case!”

Lin Yunzhi suddenly narrowed her gaze. “I think Mo Shaoting did it for the investment project on Empire Corporation in the south.”

Gu Xi had also heard of this matter, but she was not interested in it because Gu Group’s recent situation was not well. Hence, they had to be conservative, and expanding their business was not suitable for the time being.

However, she did have a bit of interest in it now.

She tilted her head to Lin Yunzhi. “Mo Shaoting probably wanted to make the Gu Group aware of Empire’s project by investing in us!”

Lin Yunzhi smiled at Gu Xi. “Well, you finally didn’t turn dumb after such a night!”

Gu Xi’s face turned red as she stood in front of thick-skinned Lin Yunzhi. She could not hold her own against her.

Then she put up a stoic expression and gave a bossy look. “Okay, I’m going to bathe. I will show up for work later.”

Lin Yunzhi looked at her back view and softly laughed. “Gu Xi, I think your body… has accustomed well towards Pei Qian. Instead of sacrificing for the Gu Family, you must be enjoying it now!”

Gu Xi took off her shirt and threw it over Lin Yunzhi’s head. “If you continue to spout nonsense, I will make grandpa marry you off!”

Lin Yunzhi laughed. Whenever Gu Xi had nothing witty to say, she would resort to saying this sentence… There was no creativity at all!

However, she recalled Song Yazhan, the man she pursued in the past.

But her feelings for him had faded over the years due to certain events that happened…
