Chapter 476: Watching His Car Speed Away
_The next morning._
Tang Mo’er walked out of the bungalow and saw a vehicle parked on the lawn outside.
Lu Jinwen had also woken up and he stopped beside her. He was clad in a grey shirt with his sleeves were rolled up, revealing his muscular arms and a luxurious watch adorned his wrist. “Mo’er, I’ll have someone chauffeur you to and from the university.”
Tang Mo’er turned around, her luminous eyes landed on Lu Jinwen’s face. “There’s no need for you to do that, I’ll be staying on campus.”
Lu Jinwen arched an eyebrow but didn’t speak.
“I’ve promised to stay in the Capital but that doesn’t mean that I’ve returned to the Lu family. This is not my home. There’s also no need for you to hold a birthday party for me.” Tang Mo’er’s gaze then moved to Lin Xuanyin and she smirked. “Also, I only have one mother. I won’t call any other woman Mommy.”
Lin Xuanyin had appeared elegantly, wearing a long white dress with a baby blue fur mantle.
After hearing Tang Mo’er’s words, the atmosphere became incredibly awkward and she spoke up, “Mo’er, I...”
Clearly ignoring her, Tang Mo’er turned around and got in the car. “Start the car.”
The car sped away.
...
Lu Jinwen looked on as the car drove away. Lin Xuanyin walked over and paused beside him. “Jinwen, you weren’t even planning to get Mo’er to address me as Mommy in the first place, were you?”
Lu Jinwen had both hands in his trouser pocket, he gave Lin Xuanyin a gentle glance. “Mo’er is all grown up, no one can force her to do anything if she’s unwilling to do so.”
“Is that so? Didn’t you promise to hand Mo’er over to me 21 years ago and let me raise her? Isn’t she supposed to call me Mommy? Why did you send her to the Lin family instead?” Lin Xuanyin questioned him.
Lu Jinwen pursed his lips together, running his fingers through Lin Xuanyin’s hair. The corner of his lips kicked up and he said, “Xuanyin, you should be aware of what you should say and what you shouldn’t say, right?”
Though he appeared to be speaking in a cordial manner, she could detect a dangerous edge in his eyes, warning her that he wasn’t one she should provoke. Her hands were balled into two fists by her side, but she quickly smiled. “I apologize for my behavior just now.”
“It’s fine,” Lu Jinwen smiled at her. “Do not make such a mistake next time.”
After speaking, he entered the bungalow and Butler Ye followed after him.
Seeing his dignified back view, Lin Xuanyin’s face stiffened, the smile sliding off her face. Lu Jinwen was just like that, he could dote on her and satisfy all her needs but he couldn’t tolerate her if she were to be too nosy. He was overbearing in that way.
She actually didn’t need him to tell her the answer, she already knew what it was.
According to their agreements, Lu Jinwen would hand Tang Mo’er over to Lin Xuanji for her to raise baby Mo’er up. However, Lin Xuanji had gone on a hunger strike.
“Is Professor Gu lecturing today? Why didn’t I see it in the timetable?”
“He’s not lecturing today, Professor Gu dropped by to visit his sister An’an. Quick, we’ll have a chance to meet Professor Gu!”
“Hurry up, let’s go together!”
The female classmates were all hyped up, including Li Fei’fei.
Tang Mo’er’s heart thumped loudly in her chest. Gu Mohan was going to come today?
Her luminous eyes lit up, she certainly had good luck. It was her first day in school and she already had the chance to meet Mr Gu.
Grabbing her bag, she bolted outside and weaved through the mass of students.
She ran onto the cobblestone trail and a group of students rushed over, surrounding her. “Mo’er, please give us your autograph, we are all your fans.”
“Mo’er, when are you planning to make your comeback? We’re all waiting for your next work.”
Tang Mo’er received the pen and quickly signed an autograph. She went up on her tiptoes, trying to search for Mr Gu.
She wanted to quickly finish signing the autographs and search for Mr Gu after then but the line only got longer. Many students were surrounding her.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom sped away, the black vehicle was well-polished and had a king-like presence.
“Mr Gu!” Tang Mo’er shouted before she gathered all her might and escaped the crowd. But she was too late, the Rolls Royce had already driven away by the time she got out.
She could see a dignified figure in the backseat through the glistening windows. His head was lowered, seemingly looking through documents.
It was Mr Gu.
It was really Mr Gu.
“Mr Gu, wait for me... ah!”
Tang Mo’er screamed, she had tripped over a cobblestone and fell flat on the ground.
Her knees were scraped and lacerated, her bloody flesh could be seen.
Mr Gu.
She tried to get up but couldn’t succeed. Lifting her head, she had noticed that the Rolls-Royce Phantom had already sped away, vanishing from her sight long ago.
Tang Mo’er bit down on her lower lip with her teeth, lowering her eyelashes pitifully. Her knees were hurting and she blew on her wound lightly, her eyes red and watery.
