Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Deceptive Words

Su Heyi also lowered her head, wiggled her toes, and giggled foolishly, "I forgot."

 

Gu Mo was helpless and could only have a servant bring over a brand new pair of slippers. Then he personally pulled Su Heyi to the sofa to sit down and commanded her to lift her foot.

 

Su Heyi obediently did as told, waiting for Gu Mo to put on the slippers for her.

 

She felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't think it was surprising for Gu Mo to do this. She thought Gu Mo was naturally this gentle.

 

The servant nearby left in a daze, feeling the scene they had just witnessed was completely unscientific, as if they were dreaming.

 

Mr. Gu actually stooped to do such a thing. In the servant's view, it was as if their soul had been shocked.

 

However, Gu Mo acted as if it was a normal thing. After putting on Su Heyi's shoes, he said, "I'll take you to see the backyard."

 

"Is it fun?" Su Heyi, with a childlike nature, thought first about whether it was fun or not.

 

"You'll know when you see it," Gu Mo coaxed.

 

"Okay!" Su Heyi's eyes lit up, and she went to the backyard with Gu Mo full of anticipation.

 

It was summer, and the backyard was blooming with many fresh flowers, along with a small pond. The lotus flowers were in full bloom, and dragonflies skimmed over the water, sparkling in the sunlight.

 

Su Heyi left Gu Mo behind and ran to enjoy the flowers.

 

A slight warmth rose in Gu Mo's usually cold and sharp eyes as he quietly watched Su Heyi having a great time.

 

Su Heyi stayed until the afternoon before leaving because today was her day off. She had four days off per month, which was not much, but it was still time to rest.

 

"After you go back, if you want to find me, remember to call me at any time. The number is here. You should read it several times and remember it firmly, okay?" On the way to send Su Heyi home, Gu Mo repeated tirelessly. Such patience was also unprecedented.

 

If it were Gu Mo's subordinates, no one would dare to let Gu Mo say anything a second time because Gu Mo had no such leisure interest to waste time repeating his orders. Those who couldn't understand in one go would not be qualified to stay by Gu Mo's side.

 

However, Su Heyi was so naive and didn't understand how incredible what Gu Mo did was.

 

She thought all of this was taken for granted, and Mr. Gu was such a good person.

 

"Also, remember to tell them that you live in the principal's house. I have already talked to the principal, and she will say the same thing as you, understand?"

 

"Okay." Su Heyi felt strange, but she was unwilling to go against Gu Mo's orders and was ready to do as Gu Mo said.

 

As for the principal, Gu Mo naturally had ways to solve it. With Gu Yan as an excuse, it was very useful. And to get the principal to cooperate in lying, the reason Gu Mo gave the principal was that he didn't want Su Heyi's family to covet the Gu family's property by taking advantage of Su Heyi. The principal also knew what kind of character Su Heyi's family was and was indeed worried, so she agreed to cooperate.

 

It was the weekend, and Su Heyi's uncle and aunt were at home. When they saw Su Heyi come back, they were very serious.

 

Su Youyou heard the movement and rushed out of the room, shouting, "Su Heyi, tell me, did you do this on purpose? You didn't bring me the umbrella you promised, and that's fine if you didn't want to, but why did you lie to me! Now you've even learned to deceive people? Who taught you these bad habits?"
