It was no wonder that everyone was bullying the high and praising the low. After all, the Chu family's company assets were worth less than 100 million yuan at their peak, and now they were embroiled in lawsuits, and their status had plummeted. Compared with these distinguished guests present, they were really not good enough.

If earlier, everyone would have given them some respect because they were Mo Li's adoptive parents, but now everyone saw Mo Li's stance and knew that this couple was not good people. They took other people's money and treated other people's children badly for so many years. If everyone didn't help scold them, it would have been enough to give them face. Why would they be willing to have anything to do with them?

Befriend them? Wouldn't that be a blatant opposition to the Mo family and the Chi family?

They don't want to seek death!

Chu Shengfeng toasted to several CEOs but was politely declined. The resentment in his heart was even greater than that of Sadako.

Although he was not very capable, he always cared about his reputation. So he could not help but grit his teeth and think that when he got the 30% shares of the Mo family and turned his fortunes around, he would definitely hold a grand dinner again, which would be ten times more impressive than the one held by the Gu family! Then he would invite all those people who did not know what was good for them to come and save his reputation!

By then, let’s see if these bastards who look down on others dare to look down on him, Chu Shengfeng, in the future!

……

In comparison, Chu Jiamiao's situation is even worse.

In such occasions, most young rich second-generations, men and women, gather together to discuss new things in the circle and various gossips.

Chu Jiamiao naturally wanted to join in the fun. After all, she had already quietly spotted several good-looking second-generation rich men, and was wondering if she would have a chance to flirt with them.

The result is predictable. Even though Gu Kai and Gu Xuehui had spoken up for her in public, it couldn't stop everyone from avoiding her like the plague.

Because of the pornographic videos of her hooking up with Gu Tingyan and the bullying incidents, Chu Jiamiao is now notorious in the circle. Everyone who sees her has a look of disgust and doesn't want to have anything to do with her at all.

Even if she acted like a pitiful little white rabbit, she couldn't arouse other people's interest in her. Everyone wanted to stay away from her, for fear that if they had anything to do with her, they would become the talk and joke of the circle.

Except for Gu Xuehui, no one was willing to pay attention to her. She was standing in the crowded banquet hall, but she was alone from beginning to end.

Chu Jiamiao simply stopped struggling. Her eyes kept glancing in the direction of Mo Li, and she was unconsciously attracted to her.

She always felt that the reason she became like this now was all because of Mo Li. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have fallen to this point.

In order to attend the Gu family's dinner today and leave a good impression on everyone, Chu Jiamiao spent a lot of time dressing up. Although she wore a mask that covered half of her face, she narcissistically felt that she had an extra layer of hazy beauty.

But she didn't expect that she was still not comparable to Mo Li at all. As soon as Mo Li appeared, she didn't even bother to dress up, but was directly crushed into dust.

The beast named jealousy in Chu Jiamiao's heart almost tore her apart alive, crawled out of her body, and completely devoured Mo Li.

But the reality forced her to continue to endure and wait for the right opportunity to push Mo Li into hell completely.

She couldn't wait to see Mo Li fall from heaven to hell. When the time comes, she will definitely trample her under her feet so that she will never be able to stand up again.

……

After passing through a corridor, Mo Li pushed Grandpa Gu's wheelchair and came to the tea room with him.

The environment here is unique and quiet. Compared with the magnificent banquet hall, the wood-based decoration looks antique, and the sandalwood furniture exudes a faint sandalwood scent that is refreshing.

Apart from the sound of running water in the mountains in the courtyard, there was no other noisy sound. Mr. Gu obviously felt much more comfortable.

Mo Li sat opposite Mr. Gu and respectfully made him a pot of tea.

Looking at the very sensible Mo Li, Old Master Gu couldn't help but sigh deeply: "You are still so sensible, alas, it's a pity that I, the old master, don't have the blessing to let you be my granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family..."

Mo Li picked up the teacup on his desk, lowered his eyes and took a sip.

From a long time ago, Grandpa Gu had always regarded her as his future granddaughter-in-law, and had been supporting her against all odds before he even knew that she was the real daughter of the Mo family.

It’s a pity that some things in the world are destined to be incompatible.

She and Gu Tingyan are separated by a blood feud, and she and Grandpa Gu are destined to never become a real family.

Seeing her keep her head down and say nothing, Old Man Gu also raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, then sighed silently: "Although I am old and don't care about things anymore, I still heard some things about you and Ting Yan... Xiaoli, don't worry, I asked you to come here not to persuade you to reconcile, on the contrary, I think your choice is right, I really didn't know that the boy in our family is such a bastard! He is not worthy of you, you should never have any psychological burden with Grandpa Gu, I fully support you in any decision you make."

Mo Li's heart couldn't help but feel a ripple.

She didn't believe that Grandpa Gu hadn't heard that she had taken advantage of the Gu family's difficulties to seize all of the Gu family's shares. But even so, the old man could still sit down with her and drink tea and chat with her in such a friendly manner. This demeanor was really not something that ordinary people could match.

"Grandpa Gu, I--" Mo Li hesitated to speak. Facing this kind old man, she had so many things she wanted to say to him at the moment, but when the words came to her lips, she seemed at a loss as to where to start.

Old Master Gu continued to talk: "You don't have to explain anything to me. I'm already this old, and I've already seen through the truth that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. From the day I officially handed over the position of chairman to Tingyan's father, I have made up my mind not to get involved in all the affairs of the Gu Group. The business world is like a battlefield. When I was young, I fought with people there for my entire life. I'm already exhausted. Now I just want to be an idle person. As for your affairs, let you young people handle it yourself."

Mo Li smiled with some relief: "Thank you, Grandpa Gu, for understanding me so well."

"We don't need to say so many polite words," Old Man Gu waved his hand, and then seemed unwilling to mention these unhappy things. Instead, he asked her with a smile: "By the way, I know you are in the third year of high school this year, and your schedule must be very tight, but don't forget your promise to grandpa."
