Chapter 495: Barging in on Gu Mohan and Jun Xiyan

Gu Mohan pursed his lips coldly and did not reply.

He was more cognizant than anyone else on how Tang Mo’er’s designs were and whether she had any talent in this area. Jun Xiyan was right, what she lacked was a crucial opportunity.

Truth be told, when he first saw her designs in the interview room, he was stunned.

Her designs were like her, delicate and enchanting.

Lin Xuanji was also like this. The meticulous and innovative design of the “Star of the Ocean” had astounded everyone.

Tang Mo’er resembled how Lin Xuanji was like in the past. She had already succeeded in this round of interview.

She outshone everyone else.

Jun Xiyan looked at Gu Mohan and smiled gracefully. “Mohan, why are you picking on Tang Mo’er? Although others only saw Tang Mo’er being wronged, what I saw was... your differential treatment towards Tang Mo’er.

“Mohan, you’ve known Tang Mo’er for only a short while, and she has already changed you completely.”

Gu Mohan’s handsome face was frosty and as sharp as the blade of a knife. He had to admit that he was bothered by what she had said in the private room at the bar the other day.

She had said she was fishing and was waiting for him to take the bait.

All these years, there were countless women who had thrown themselves at him. They lusted after his handsome looks and coveted his high societal status. He did not mind it in the slightest, as he always believed that money and power that a man wielded should be given to a woman to spend lavishly.

Men enjoyed women’s youth and beauty, and indulged in happy times together with the women. Similarly, men should then make some form of repayment to the women too.

Jun Xiyan was an example. The joint marriage between the Gu and Jun families was motivated by big business partnerships and profits. He was very clear about this marriage, and thus he was exceptionally tolerant towards Jun Xiyan.

However, he was not sure as to why he was unable to tolerate Tang Mo’er. He was unable to tolerate the fact that... she had a motive for getting close to him.

She said she liked him and was chasing him. He thought she really liked him.

He would allow her to like only one man, and that was him.

He was willing to give her all his fortune, only if she liked him.

She felt a piercing pain in her eyes, and it was really agonizing. She tried hard to widen her eyes and not blink, because she felt that tears would spring out if she blinked.

She did not want to cry.

Not like this.

Suddenly, she heard Li Fei’fei’s derisive laughter. Li Fei’fei and a few students were standing behind and laughing mockingly..

“You all come and see, Tang Mo’er is back again. Just now, Professor Gu had already disposed of her design sketches, and she had run down to pick those up. She still has the cheek to return here.”

“Precisely. Professor Gu had already said her design sketches were terrible. Doesn’t she have any pride?”

“Fei’fei, the design intern name list has been announced, and you have been selected. You are a hundred or thousand times better than Tang Mo’er, Professor Gu has attested to that!”...

Li Fei’fei and the rest were increasingly callous with their words, and Tang Mo’er could clearly hear every word they were saying.

Tang Mo’er’s pretty face blanched. There were people taunting her at the back, and her beloved man was hugging another woman in front of her. Someone else would have run away in this situation.

But she collected herself and walked into the office, with everyone looking at her.

She stood in front of Gu Mohan and brandished her crumpled design sketches in front of him. She raised her faintly reddened eyes and looked at him. “Mr Gu, how are my designs bad? You can... explain to me, I will change. I will work on improving. Could you please... give me another chance?”

There was a glint in Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes. He had not thought that she would return, let alone come in here.

Now, his strong arm was still encircled around Jun Xiyan’s slender waist. Both of them were in an intimate position, and she was blatantly standing in front of him.

Her eyes and nose were red, and her cherry-like mouth was even redder. She looked at him with watery eyes, which were filled with a plethora of emotions – bitterness, injustice, and sadness... she seemed extremely pitiful.

Somehow, looking at her like this made his heart ache.

She was akin to a pussycat which had been abandoned and was looking at one with a pair of dark and big eyes, which made one’s heart soften.

At this point, Gu Mohan withdrew his strong arm, stood in front of her and looked down at her.

Jun Xiyan was standing by the side. She suddenly felt that she had become an outsider. But Tang Mo’er should be the outsider for barging in on them.

Instead, Tang Mo’er reached her pale hand out and handed over her crumpled design sketches to the man. The man’s gaze was fixated on her, and he only had eyes for her.

Perhaps he had not noticed, whenever Tang Mo’er appeared, his gaze would undoubtedly be attracted by her.

“Mohan, since you are busy now, then you go ahead and settle your matters. I’ll leave first.” Jun Xiyan turned around and left.
