Grandpa Gu's face turned pale: "Xiao Li, your current net worth is at least hundreds of billions! Just for a little over 100 million, do you have to break the relationship between us that has lasted for so many years?"

Mo Li narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled calmly: "Grandpa Gu, it was you who broke the relationship between us for so many years, not me."

Looking at the calm expression on her face, Mr. Gu finally realized that the girl in front of him was completely different from the weak girl in the past.

"Xiao Li, I didn't believe them when they first told me this - you have really changed a lot."

Mo Li lowered his head and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."

"I'm not complimenting you."

"For me, yes."

……

Mr. Gu was still a decent man after all. After all, at his age, he had fewer things to ask for. Although it was a pity to lose such a large sum of money, at least he had preserved his wisdom throughout his life.

He always thought that this girl was a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. Even if the truth was revealed one day, she would at most come to him crying and argue with him, asking him why he had used her for so many years.

- Instead of sitting opposite him so rationally like now, drinking tea with him and asking for a share of money.

Old Master Gu knew that with Mo Li's current abilities, if he continued to waste time, he would be the only one who would suffer.

So he sighed and compromised: "I currently have about 20 to 30 million in cash on hand. Most of my other assets are the calligraphy and antiques that I have collected for many years. In addition, I have a villa worth 50 million in my name, which I can also give to you as a gift, as my compensation to you."

All these things add up to nearly 200 million yuan, so Mo Li is sure to make a profit.

She also nodded very readily to indicate the deal was done.

……

Before yesterday, she had been planning how to stop the second daughter-in-law of the Gu family from harming Old Man Gu. She even contacted the most professional doctor and wanted to ask him to check Old Man Gu's body and the medicinal food he usually took, and to see if the old injury on his leg could heal on its own, so that he wouldn't have to sit in a wheelchair all day...

However, all this is based on the premise that she still regards Mr. Gu as her most respected grandfather.

Now that he knew the other person's true face and knew that his kindness to him over the years was only for ulterior motives, Mo Li no longer had the slightest sympathy for this old man who could hardly walk independently.

In this life, she chose to respect the fate of others and would never interfere in matters that were not her business.

Moreover, the reason why the second daughter-in-law of the Gu family had the evil idea of ​​wanting to kill her own father was nothing more than to steal his life. Now that all of Gu's property has been used to compensate her, her motive is naturally invalid.

Thinking in this way, perhaps she was saving Mr. Gu in disguise.

When Mo Li thought about this, she felt much more relieved. In the past, she had always been lenient towards the Gu family because of the kindness that Mr. Gu had shown her. In order to avoid upsetting Mr. Gu, she did not force Gu Tingyan to death.

Now, she has no worries in the Gu family, and she will not be restricted in doing anything in the future.

……

Since today's goal has been achieved, there is no need for Mo Li to stay here any longer, so she said goodbye to Mr. Gu.

"Grandpa Gu, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last time we meet. Take care."

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Old Master Gu said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Li, whether you are willing to believe me or not, I have always admired you as a girl, and I sincerely hoped that you could become our Gu family's granddaughter-in-law..."

Mo Li opened his mouth and was about to answer something, but he felt dizzy for no apparent reason.

She rested one hand on the tea table. Grandpa Gu in front of her began to have double vision and her voice became a little confused... She was actually drugged!

Mo Li suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Mr. Gu in disbelief.

Old Master Gu sat in his original position calmly, looking at her with a trace of regret and pity: "It's worth it that I waited so long, the medicine finally took effect."

The world around him was spinning, and Mo Li shook his head hard to stay awake.

"How...how could it be?"

She couldn't figure out how she was poisoned.

At the dinner tonight, she did not eat anything or drink anything in order to prevent the Gu family from playing tricks on her.

Even the tea she just drank was brewed by her own hands and poured for Grandpa Gu and her. There should be no chance for her to tamper with it.

Mr. Gu looked at her and his eyes fell on the teapot, and he saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"The problem is not the tea—" Mr. Gu sighed and decided to let her lose clearly.

He stretched out his old, rough hand and casually extinguished the faint sandalwood incense on the tea table.

……

Mo Li's body was obviously unstable. She stared at him with hatred in her eyes: "Why?"

Mr. Gu's shrewd and narrow eyes showed a bit of pity:

"Xiao Li, you are still not smart enough... I am a member of the Gu family first, and then your Grandpa Gu."

"Even if Tingyan is not very capable, he is still my grandson. If he asks me for help, I have to help him."

Old Master Gu sighed softly: "I will keep my promise to give you everything I promised you just now... Don't blame me, an old man, if you want to blame someone, just blame me..."

Mo Li could no longer hear what his dry mouth was saying.

She only felt that her consciousness was gradually being pulled away from her body - if this continued, she would definitely collapse here, and the consequences would be disastrous!

——No, how could she give up so easily? She still had to take the college entrance examination, and there were so many things she hadn't done... and Chi Cunxu was still waiting for her to come back.

She must find a way to wake herself up!

Mo Li held on to the tea table with one hand to prevent himself from falling, while his other hand was subconsciously groping for something on the table.

Seeing her reaching for the sharp tiger-head tea knife on the table, Mr. Gu couldn't help but sneer: "Useless child, stabbing yourself with a knife will only increase your pain and make you more seriously injured later--"

Before he could finish his words, Mo Li suddenly reached out and pushed the exquisite kettle on the table, and without hesitation, poured the entire pot of boiling water onto Mr. Gu!

"ah-----"

The heart-wrenching screams immediately lingered in Mo Li's ears, causing her eardrums to hurt.

This time, I finally woke up a little.
