Chapter 491: Chapter 343: Yes, You’re That Man_1

Qiao Yin didn’t expect Gu Li to remind her in such a straightforward way. She was touched deep down.

She swallowed and nodded lightly, “I will, thank you, Little Pear.”

…

Because of Li Ruoruo’s suicide attempt, Lu Cong had been blacklisted by the Li Family.

He went to the hospital several times to visit Li Ruoruo, but was driven out by the Li Family every time.

The Lu family despised him even more.

Lady Lu even made it clear that she would recognize only Li Ruoruo as her daughter-in-law in this lifetime. If Lu Cong dared to mention divorce again, he would be driven out of the house and she would disown him as her son.

Lu Cong was at a loss as to what to do, caught between a rock and a hard place, all he could do was to drown his sorrows in alcohol and temporarily numb himself.

Once Mo Shiting finished his work, he asked Lu Yang to drive directly to the bar to pick him up.

Right upon entering the private room, as expected, the strong stench of alcohol filled the air, extremely overwhelming.

Noticing Lu Cong lying alone at the bar, drunk and unconscious, Mo Shiting walked over and snatched the glass of alcohol from his hand.

“You’re here,” he said.

Lu Cong looked up, his eyes red and weary, a stark contrast from his usual lively state.

Mo Shiting set the glass down and sat next to him on a high stool.

Lu Cong propped his chin on his hand and squinted at him, chuckling bitterly, “Perfect timing, have another drink with me.”

As he reached out for the glass, Mo Shiting stopped him, “Enough, alcohol won’t solve any problems.”

“Really?”

Lu Cong mumbled in agreement, then asked, “Then tell me, what should I do? If I can’t even control my own marriage, am I still a human? Do I still have my rights?”

Mo Shiting replied coldly, “I understand how you feel, but I don’t approve of your approach. Running away won’t solve any problems. Ask yourself, what loss will cause you more pain? Make a choice based on that, and naturally there’ll be solutions.”

Having experienced the tribulations of love himself, Mo Shiting could really empathize with Lu Cong.

Lu Cong seemed to take his words to heart and began to ponder seriously.

After a while, there was a glimmer of understanding in his cloudy eyes. He stood up suddenly, “Yes, you’re right. I’m going to see Qianqian right now.”

As long as he could confirm that Murong Qian was on his side, he would not back down no matter how difficult or bitter the future may be.

After this pep talk from Mo Shiting, Lu Cong instantly transformed. He rushed back to the bathroom to wash his face and freshen up.

“Let Lu Yang drive you home.”

Seeing that he had quite a bit to drink, Mo Shiting kindly loaned his assistant.

Lu Cong gratefully smiled at him, “Thanks, buddy. When Qianqian and I get married, remember, you have to call me brother-in-law.”

Mo Shiting: “… Scram!”

After Lu Cong left, Mo Shiting glanced at his watch. It was only half past seven.

He suddenly missed his Little Pear. He decided to make a trip to Imperial City University and surprise her.

With this thought in mind, he immediately got going, drove back to the Xinghe Group, and took off in a helicopter.

———-

Imperial City University.

Gu Li had just finished the first of two evening electives. During the break, she received an unexpected call from Murong Qian.

“Little Pear, I have something to tell you.”

Murong Qian’s voice was a bit excited, Gu Li couldn’t help but laugh, “What is it? Did Tang Yue agree to form a strategic alliance with Shi Li?”

“Oh my, negotiations between the two companies aren’t that simple. However, I did notice that Tang Yue is quite interested in Yining.”

Murong Qian sounded like she had uncovered a new continent.

Gu Li, lips curling in amusement, replied, “You’re just noticing now? I was wondering when you would.”

“Ah? So they…”

Murong Qian’s mouth gaped open, then she burst out laughing, “Oh my, next time we go to M Country for further negotiations with the Tang Group, I’ll bring Yining along. We might just get twice the results with half the effort, hahaha.”

Perhaps due to her excitement, Murong Qian’s laughter was somewhat hearty.

Gu Li held the phone away from her ear and waited for her to stop laughing. She then took it back and asked, “Is that what you wanted to tell me?”

“Of course not.”

Murong Qian cut to the chase, “This afternoon, a female celebrity came to our Shi Li Entertainment, hoping to sign with us. Guess who?”

“Who?”

Gu Li asked without much interest, “There are so many female celebrities, how should I know? Besides, I’m not a fan of celebrities. Just spill it, no need for suspense.”

“You’re no fun. Come on, guess, you definitely know her.”
