Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

“Hello, President Tang.”

Gu Li greeted them with a smile, her gaze toward Tang Yue was a bit complex.

So this is her uncle by blood, no wonder when she first saw him on the cruise, she felt incredibly familiar.

His kindness towards her, perhaps due to that magical connection of blood?

Upon hearing her address him as President Tang, Tang Yue spoke with displeasure, “Why are you so distant with me today, not calling me Brother Tang? Are you blaming me for not coming to cheer you on last night?”

“Hehe, of course not.”

Gu Li chuckled at his complaining tone, “I just think that the title ‘Brother Tang’ isn’t as powerful as ‘President Tang’.”

“Really? Well, it’s just a title anyway.”

Tang Yue didn’t dwell on it.

At this time, Mo Shiting finally spoke, “Is Chairman Tang at home?”

“My sister and niece had some business to attend to but they’ll be back once it’s over. Come inside and sit first.”

As Tang Yue explained, he invited them in.

Hearing that Tang Wan wasn’t home, Gu Li felt a mix of indescribable emotions.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on Mo Shiting’s arm, and he whispered in her ear, “Don’t rush, you’ll see her eventually.”

“Mmhm.”

Gu Li nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into a smile.

Tang Yue led the way and soon the three of them arrived at the main hall of the Tang family house.

Stepping through the door, Gu Li was overwhelmed with a familiar feeling.

She looked around, noticing the somewhat outdated interior of the house, from the coffee table, chairs, TV stand, and so on, they all seemed like items from a decade ago, raising some curiosity in her.

“President Tang, has it been a long time since this place was renovated?”

She couldn’t help but ask Tang Yue.

Living in an old house that hadn’t been renovated in years is quite rare for a family of Tang’s status.

Tang Yue nodded, “Yes, about 20 years now.”

“20 years?”

Gu Li was surprised, and continued to ask, “Why not renovate? Does it hold some special meaning?”

Tang Yue answered honestly, “My niece lived here from birth until she disappeared at the age of five. My sister cannot bear to change the decoration due to nostalgia.”

“Ah, I see.”

Gu Li gently nodded, once again looking around, trying to recall her childhood memories.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember anything.

Just as she was lost in thought, a warm voice came from outside, “Do we have special guests today?”

Believing it was Tang Wan who had returned, Gu Li quickly lifted her eyes to see a graceful and elegant lady, smiling as she walked in.

Although she was beautiful, she didn’t resemble Gu Li at all, leading her to conclude that she definitely wasn’t Tang Wan.

As expected, a moment later, Tang Yue spoke, “Sister Meng, Shiting brought his wife over.”

Indeed, the visitor was Qin Shurong’s mother, He Meng.

Over the years, she and Qin Shurong had been living with the Tang family. Relying on their relationship with Tang Wan, mother and daughter held important positions in the Tang Group.

“Is that so? I’ve heard that Young Master Mo married a very charming lady, today I finally have the pleasure to meet her.”

While He Meng spoke, she glanced at Gu Li, but when she saw Gu Li’s face, which was similar to Tang Wan’s, her eyes showed a moment of surprise.

“This… this young lady…”

“Sister Meng, do you also find her similar to my sister?”

Tang Yue couldn’t help but tease.

Initially, he had the same reaction when he first saw Gu Li.

But he was able to hide his emotions and didn’t show it.

“Yes… yes, she looks exactly like your sister did when she was young.”

He Meng couldn’t help but stare at Gu Li for a few extra moments, repeatedly exclaiming.

“Hello, Auntie, my name is Gu Li.”

Seeing that He Meng was showing kindness towards her, Gu Li reciprocated with a polite smile.

For some reason, she felt instantly familiar with this auntie.

But she seems to be Qin Shurong’s mother?

Well, they don’t look like a mother-daughter pair at all.

Gu Li merely introduced herself by name; however, the moment He Meng heard that her surname was Gu, her expression changed dramatically, “Your surname is Gu?”

“Hmm?”

“Oh, sorry, I was being rash.”

Realising she had been too emotional, He Meng quickly changed the topic, “Why are you all still standing? Please take a seat.”

“Alright.”

Unphased, Gu Li sat down next to Mo Shiting on the double-seater sofa.

The servants quickly brought over some freshly brewed premium tea.

“Please enjoy.”

He Meng cordially invited them.

“Thank you.”

Gu Li gracefully picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The aroma was strong, refreshing her spirit.

He Meng observed Gu Li, thinking that she should have been how Tang Tang would have looked when she grew up, but why wasn’t she?

In contrast, who would believe that the Tang Tang who was just accepted back into the family these past few days to be Tang Wan’s daughter, if not for the DNA report issued by an authoritative institution?

Sigh!

He Meng sighed silently in her heart, her eyes filled with regret.

Gu Li noticed her thoughts and gave a gentle smile, “Auntie, do you have something you want to say to me?”

“No, not at all.”

He Meng quickly shook her head, “I was just thinking, when Ah Wang sees you later, she will definitely be surprised.”

“Really? I’m looking forward to meeting Chairman Tang now.”

“She will be back soon.”

As He Meng finished speaking, the Steward’s voice rang out, “Miss, little Miss, you are back.”

Everyone followed the voice and saw Tang Wan and a young girl walking in, talking and laughing.

“Oh, Shiting is here.”

Tang Wan first noticed Mo Shiting and hurriedly greeted him.

Then, her gaze naturally moved to his side. The moment her eyes met Gu Li’s face, she uncontrollably gaped and stepped back. The bag of gifts she was holding dropped to the ground.

“Mummy, what’s wrong?”

Upon seeing Tang Wan’s reaction, Tang Tang immediately reached out to support her.

Tang Wan finally steadied herself.

However, Gu Li, from the moment she saw Tang Wan, couldn’t take her eyes off her.

Was that her mummy?

As a child, whenever she asked her father where her mummy was,

He would always answer coldly, “Your mummy is dead.”

At first, she didn’t believe it and would continue to ask incessantly.

But his answer never changed. Eventually, she slowly accepted it.

Unexpectedly, at the fortunate age of 21, she found her mummy…

“MA…”

Just as Gu Li was about to call out, she saw Tang Wan stepping back, and the impostor supported her.

She immediately came back to her senses.

No, she couldn’t be impulsive. She must expose the person behind this before recognizing her mother.

In any case, a couple more days wouldn’t make a difference.

Gu Li kept comforting herself, but no matter what, she still felt wronged.

Catching her nearly breaking down, Mo Shiting simply stretched his hand around her shoulder, whispering so only they could hear, “If you change your mind, we will use other means to reveal the person behind this.”
