Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No matter how Mo Yu looked at it, she felt that Gu Lian’s expression was strange. Her mind raced. She had to think of a way to escape this predicament. “Don’t you want to explain?” Gu Lian’s voice sounded.
“Explain, of course 1 have to explain.” Mo Yu’s voice was a little weak. “I’m the administrator of Llife. You saw it.”
Gu Lian nodded. “Why did you reject the collaboration with the Gu Corporation? You don’t want me to know your identity? Or do you have another identity?”
Mo Yu swallowed her saliva. How could she reply to this?
“Or do you have some unspeakable secret?” Gu Lian leaned forward, giving off an invisible pressure.
“No, that’s not it.” Mo Yu quickly shook her head and sighed. “You also know that I am the lost child of the Mo family, but they don’t like me.”
Mo Yu made up her mind to play the emotional card at this moment. She might even be able to dodge the bullet.
“So?” Gu Lian raised his eyebrows.
Mo Yu’s expression was pitiful, and her eyes were red. “Although they acknowledge my identity, they don’t recognize me as a person. Not to mention liking me, I can’t even eat my fill.”
Thinking about how her eyes would go blank every time she saw food, as if every meal was her last, Gu Lian understood. Then he thought about how the Mo Family did not even hold a proper welcome party for her, and Gu Lian believed most of her words.
Seeing Gu Lian lean back on the sofa, Mo Yu knew that he believed this explanation.
Hence, she took advantage of the situation and continued, “And I’m not afraid that you’ll laugh at me. When I came to your house back then, my cell phone balance was only a little more than ten yuan. It wasn’t even enough to buy myself food…”
Mo Yu used all her acting skills and looked at Gu Lian pitifully. Tears were about to fall.
Actually, it was not an act. She was really afraid. This was a life and death moment. Not to mention crying immediately, she could cry and laugh at the same time.
Gu Lian frowned. He never thought that the Mo Family would dislike Mo Yu so much.
“Then what does this have to do with you creating Llife?”
“Of course it’s related!” Mo Yu leaned forward. “I have to earn money!”
“Do you lack food and necessities in the Gu family?” Gu Lian clearly did not believe her.
“Haven’t you heard of this saying? The mountains will collapse if you rely on them. Everyone will run if you rely on them. The Mo Family is still my family. I can’t even rely on my biological parents. Who else can I rely on? I can only rely on myself.”
Mo Yu suddenly thought of herself in the apocalypse. She was also alone and had no one to rely on.
In those days, no one was truly trustworthy. In the face of survival, human nature became unreliable.
“You’re the eldest young master of the Gu family. You’ve never lacked anything since you were young. You have parents who love you and everyone around you surrounds you because of your status. How can you understand how tragic it is for a person like me who has no one to rely on?”
“In the next moment, I might be kicked out of the Mo family, or 1 might be abandoned by you and driven back by the Gu family. The Gu family doesn’t lack food and clothes for me, but that’s what others give me. Compared to the money that I worked hard to earn, that obviously makes me feel more at ease.”
As she spoke, Mo Yu’s voice was a little choked up. In the beginning, she only wanted to deal with Gu Lian. Now, her words were even more sincere.
If she was really abandoned by Gu Lian, even if he did not kill her, she would still have nothing at that time. Food might even be a problem.
Gu Lian looked at her silently, feeling a little suffocated.
Mo Yu had always been sunny and confident in front of him. He did not expect her to have such a weak side.
He sighed. “Then is Llife still willing to work with the Gu Corporation?”
Mo Yu looked at Gu Lian in disbelief. Was he not going to interrogate further?
Mo Yu hurriedly nodded. “Of course I’m willing! If not for the fact that I don’t want to expose my identity, I would have cooperated with the Gu Corporation long ago. It’s good to have a big tree behind me!”
The corners of Gu Lian’s mouth curled up. “I’m afraid you’ll become a big tree tomorrow morning. 1 need to take advantage of your protection.”
Mo Yu also smiled. Leo’s live-stream today was unprecedented. The current Llife was not only extremely popular, but its commercial value was also immeasurable.
However, Mo Yu was still a little worried, “Then my identity?”
Gu Lian stood up. “The big boss behind Llife has never appeared in front of anyone. I only contacted her by email. As for who she is, I don’t know either.”
Gu Lian turned around and went upstairs, leaving behind Mo Yu, who was still a little stunned.
Did she pass?
