“Boss, run! Mo Shiting already knows that you found someone to pretend to be him to register your marriage and he’s on his way to catch you personally.”

“What?!”

Gu Li was woken up by a call from her good friend Da Ha and she immediately jumped out of bed.

In all honesty, I didn’t mean to offend Mo Shiting, but I really had no choice but to steal his documents and get someone to pretend to be him and get married.

She originally thought that she could keep it unknown and then quietly get divorced after some time. But she didn’t expect that in less than a day, the truth would be exposed, and that man would actually be coming straight for her.

Danger!

Gu Li couldn’t even bother to pack her luggage. She randomly put the marriage certificate into her small bag and abandoned the house to escape overnight.

As soon as she stepped out of the residential community, she saw that the road in front of her was blocked. The bright car lights shone over, which hurt her eyes, thus she subconsciously reached out her hand to cover them.

Right at this moment, a group of tall and burly bodyguards quickly surrounded her.

Sigh, looks like I can’t escape.

Gu Li stood rooted to the ground and couldn’t help looking at the man who was getting out of the Rolls-Royce not far away.

He was very tall, and he had broad shoulders and long legs. He was dressed in a cool black outfit, and when the car lights shone on him, the lights complemented his skin tone to look as bright as jade stones.

It had to be said that this man was extremely handsome. However, when Gu Li met his cold eyes, she instantly gave up on the thought of admiring his looks.

“Good evening, Young Master Mo. I didn’t expect the two of us to meet again so soon. Is this the legendary ‘fate’? Hehehe.”

As the saying goes, “you don’t fight the person smiling at you”. The young girl squeezed out a sweet smile, revealing her signature eight teeth.

She looked very cute and soft, like a cute pet cat. But cats weren’t as bold as her to actually scheme against him.

She has a death wish!

The man’s gloomy gaze moved away from her beautiful face, and he then said without any emotion, “Throw her into the sea to feed the fish.”

“Yes.”

The bodyguards responded in unison and quickly grabbed Gu Li as they started to put her into a gunny sack.

Thinking that she was about to die, Gu Li struggled and shouted, “Young Master Mo, I was wrong. If you want a divorce, we can go get it done tomorrow!

“Young Master Mo, having a divorce is better than being a widow—

“Mo Shiting, you unfilial descendant! Grandpa Mo likes me so much. If you kill me, aren’t you afraid of upsetting him?

“Mo Shiting, I’m your grandfather’s savior. How can you repay kindness with enmity—”

Upon hearing her words, the bodyguards paused slightly. Gu Li took the opportunity to poke her head out of the gunny sack and smiled sweetly at him. “Young Master Mo, you’re a magnanimous person. Forgive me just this one time.”

The girl’s dazzling smile made Mo Shiting be in a daze for a split second.

Realizing that he had been disrupted, the man’s exquisite and handsome face darkened instantly, and he just turned around to leave.

The bodyguards didn’t dare to delay and continued to seal up the gunny sack.

Gu Li panicked and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Mo Shiting, you have to have me in your life! Without me, you’ll die alone—”

Mo Shiting: “…”

His temples throbbed, and he finally stopped in his tracks. He turned around and narrowed his eyes at her.

Gu Li felt her scalp tingle from his stare. She just wished she could hide back into the gunny sack immediately, but her strong desire to live still made her squeeze out a smile that was even uglier than if she was crying.

Mo Shiting’s expression stayed the same, and his thin lips moved as he was about to say something. At this moment, his executive assistant, Lu Yang, hurriedly reported to him, “Young Master, something bad has happened. Old Master had a stroke and now he’s in the hospital.”

What?!

————

At the Mo Hospital…

As Old Master Mo was hospitalized, the entire VIP floor was booked.

In a certain room far away from the ward, the Mo family members, who all had their own hidden thoughts, were all gathered in there and it was currently very noisy.

The Mo family had a deep foundation. After generations of accumulation, they were now the top of the four big families of China.

Old Master Mo, who is also Mo Shiting’s grandfather, was even more of a pivotal figure.

Old Master Mo was already long out of danger before Mo Shiting arrived at the hospital.

However, although he had been resuscitated, the doctor said that he would have to recuperate for at least a few years if he wanted to fully recover. Thus some people, who had wild and wicked ambitions, started getting restless again and they wanted to take the opportunity to strip Mo Shiting of his position as the president of the company.

Therefore, someone immediately launched an attack on him.

“Everyone, the first rule of the Mo family rules states that if the heir becomes in charge of the family corporation before the age of thirty, they have to start a family first. Although Shiting held the title of the president previously, Uncle was still the actual one who was in charge, so we couldn’t say much either. Now that Uncle has had a stroke, he won’t be able to handle the company’s affairs for the time being. If Shiting continues to be the president, it will be a violation of the family rules. I propose to hold a board meeting and vote for a suitable candidate again.”

The person speaking was Mo Shiting’s uncle, Mo Jianming.

All these years, they had always been suppressed by Mo Shiting. Now that this day had finally arrived, how could he possibly give up the opportunity to take down Mo Shiting?

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Shiting’s other uncle, Mo Jianyu, immediately chimed in, “Shiting is capable, but he’s only 26 years old. As long as he hasn’t formed a family before he turns 30, he cannot take on this big responsibility. The Mo Corporation can’t be without a leader for even a day. The voting shouldn’t be delayed.”

Mo Shiting had been greatly affected by his parents’ unfortunate marriage, so it was very likely that he would never get married in this lifetime. As long as they were given the opportunity to take control of the Mo Corporation, they wouldn’t be afraid of him even when he turns 30 years old and is qualified to wield power over the entire corporation.

Under the instigation of the Mo brothers, the other Mo family members also started targeting Mo Shiting.

“Yeah, we can’t go against our family rules. No matter how capable Shiting is, we can only let him step down temporarily.”

“Shiting, don’t blame us for not supporting you. We’re all members of the Mo family, so we should follow our ancestor’s teachings.”

“If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself. Why didn’t you find a girlfriend earlier? It’s not like you didn’t know that our family has such ancestral teachings.”

“But life is unpredictable. Who would have thought that the usually healthy old master would suddenly have a stroke…”

…

Mo Shiting sat on the sofa and watched the sly old foxes make their hypocritical comments. He gently knocked on the armrest of the sofa and looked up casually. “Are you done talking?”

Most of the people present were still a little afraid of him. Seeing that he had opened his mouth, they all unanimously chose to shut up.

Mo Shiting’s deep eyes darkened slightly as he directly stood up.

In the large space, the man’s natural aura of an emperor completely scattered across the entire room. The immense pressure made people subconsciously feel suffocated.

They subconsciously looked at him and saw him with one hand in his pocket, and the coldness in his eyes was enough to freeze a group of people to death. “Luyang!”

“Yes.”

Lu Yang immediately responded.

“Bring her here.”

“…Yes.”

Lu Yang bowed and retreated.

A few minutes later, the door was pushed open and a young girl walked in leisurely.

Her skin was fair, and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she exuded a dazzling youthful aura.

Who is this girl?

Everyone sized her up with uncharitable gazes and were all guessing her identity.

Gu Li didn’t expect there to be so many people in the room and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

She had been locked in the car by Mo Shiting and had wanted to find an opportunity to escape. She didn’t expect that Luyang would suddenly appear and bring her here..
