She was about to go over and drag Gu Li away, but just then, the girl quickly pulled her hand away from his grasp and warned, annoyed, “Brother Si, it’s inappropriate for men and women to touch each other. Don’t touch me again, or else we won’t even be able to be siblings.”

Murong Si shrugged innocently, “Alright, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again in the future.”

Gu Li clenched her teeth, “If there’s a next time, I’ll kill you!”

Murong Si spread his hands, “I’m your brother, it’s quite normal for a brother to hold his sister’s hand, right?”

Gu Li rolled her eyes, “Why don’t you try holding Sister Qian’s hand then?”

Murong Si scoffed disdainfully, “Her? Who cares about her?”

Although they were quite far apart, the two were speaking without trying to hide anything and the restaurant was very quiet, so Mo Shiting heard everything clearly.

Knowing that Gu Li was firm in her stance and wasn’t engaging in any flirtation with Murong Si, Mo Shiting’s handsome and gloomy face eased slightly.

However, the fact that she lied to him still didn’t sit well with him.

Perhaps, she didn’t do it on purpose?

With that thought in mind, Mo Shiting’s eyes flickered mysteriously as he took out his phone on impulse and sent her a WeChat message, “Did you have dinner? Who did you eat with?”

If at this moment, Gu Li could mention Murong Si’s name, perhaps Mo Shiting wouldn’t hold it against her.

Unfortunately, Gu Li replied to him, “It was with my master, Doctor Duan Xuejing. I’ll introduce you two next time.”

“Ha!”

Looking at this blatantly lying message, Mo Shiting couldn’t help but scoff coldly.

He blamed himself for being so stupid, for believing in her, the little liar!

He stood there, his fists clenching and unclenching several times. His heart was in turmoil.

He had originally planned to catch her off guard, but in the end, he changed his mind and turned to leave the restaurant.

Mo Shiting’s visit was brief and due to the booth, Gu Li didn’t know he was there.

On the other hand, Murong Si hooked his lips with a deep meaning.

When all the dishes were served, Doctor Duan had not yet arrived.

Gu Li was a little uneasy and couldn’t help asking Murong Si, “Where is the doctor? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

Murong Si concealed the unusual look in his eyes and casually said, “He should be a little late. It’s fine, if you’re hungry, let’s eat first.”

“I’m not hungry.”

After Gu Li finished speaking, she picked up her phone to send Doctor Duan a WeChat message, asking him when he would arrive.

Unexpectedly, the old man replied, “Sorry, Little Pear, I had some urgent matters to handle and haven’t finished yet. I don’t know what time I’ll be back at the hotel. Don’t wait for me. Have a nice dinner with Allen, remember to take care of him, he’s our guest.”

Gu Lilost for words, responded, “Alright, don’t stand me up next time.”

“Okay.”

“When will the doctor arrive?”

Seeing her keep texting, Murong Si couldn’t help but probe.

Gu Li put her phone aside and shrugged, “He stood us up, now it’s just the two of us.”

Murong Si already knew this answer. The smile on his face deepened, “That’s not bad, it’s been a long time since I had dinner alone with Little Pear. You don’t know how much I missed you.”

“Enough, I’m leaving if you keep saying that.”

“Alright, let’s eat,” he said.

Blue Sky Blue Sea.

Mo Shiting walked into the house, wrapped in gloom.

Seeing this, Auntie Guan couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Young Master, how come you’re back so early? Have you eaten dinner? If you haven’t, I’ll make it for you right away?”

That afternoon, their Young Master had asked her not to prepare dinner for him and Young Madam. She had thought that the two were going out on a date. Little did she know he would come back so early, and not only was he alone, he also seemed quite upset.

Had they quarreled?

Auntie Guan was secretly anxious.

Facing Auntie Guan’s concerned gaze, Mo Shiting suppressed his temper and tried to control his tone, “There’s no need. I’ll go upstairs first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Auntie Guan to respond, he swiftly turned and headed upstairs.

Auntie Guan’s mouth fell open in an ‘O’ shape, increasingly feeling something was wrong.

Where was the Young Madam?

Why hasn’t she come back yet?

Maybe she should send the young madam a WeChat message first?

With this thought, Auntie Guan decisively pulled out her phone and vividly texted Gu Li, “Young Madam, Young Master is in a very bad mood today. He didn’t even eat dinner. When will you be back?”

Gu Li didn’t notice this message as she had left her phone in her bag.

It was almost nine o’clock when she finished dinner.

Murong Si offered to send Gu Li home but was refused.

“Don’t worry, I have a driver. You can go back to your room first. I need to go to the restroom. My bodyguard will come and find me in a while.”

“Alright, be careful on your way.”

Murong Si no longer insisted.

“Yeah.”

Gu Li waved goodbye to him.

The two parted ways in the lobby on the first floor.

Murong Si headed to the elevator, and Gu Li went to the restroom.

Her stomach was a bit uncomfortable, so she chose the cubicle at the far end, closed the door, and sat on the toilet.

Soon, someone else came into the cubicle next door.

At first, Gu Li didn’t pay attention. It wasn’t until she heard the other person whispering on the phone, “Yeah, don’t worry, I’ve got her drunk, and she’s also been drugged. She’s sure to be hot and enthusiastic… Yes, she’s been sent to room 2211. You can call President Li now, let’s continue with our plan,” that Gu Li realized what was going on.

Got her drunk?

Drugged?

And was going to bring a man over?

Gu Li immediately understood what was going to happen next.

She held her breath and kept eavesdropping.

The other person, completely oblivious of anyone else in the restroom, continued with her unabashed conversation, “Relax, President Cheng. My cousin may only be 16, but she’s really attractive. Once President Li sees her, he’ll definitely touch her. As long as he does, we’ll have leverage on him. And with that, the resources in the entertainment circle will be ours for the picking. Let’s not talk about anything else, just Director Xue’s big budget movie, ‘Fallen City’. Isn’t President Li an investor in it? Aren’t we even worried our company’s actors won’t get to be in it?”

Could this be another dirty trick from the entertainment industry?

These people were really going to any lengths for resources. They were so low as to throw out their own cousin?

Gu Li frowned and unconsciously clenched her fists.

No, she can’t sit back and ignore this.

The other person finished her call as if there was no one else around and quickly left the cubicle.

Hearing the sound of running water from the washbasin, Gu Li quickly opened the restroom cubicle door and peeked out.

Seeing her side profile, she recognized her as Cheng Ying’s assistant, Little Zhou.

A 16-year-old cousin?

Could it be the waitress she met not long ago?

Poor girl, having such a heartless cousin, she sighed at the injustice.

Gu Li quickly ran towards the elevator when she saw it was urgent. Upon seeing the elevator was currently stopped on the 40th floor or above, and not knowing when it would descend, she decided to take the stairs, running all the way up to the 22nd floor.

Meanwhile, the elevator doors opened, and a chubby middle-aged man, holding a room card, walked out of the elevator.
