欺辱尤娜

All her classmates knew that she had been dating Sheng Donglin and would definitely question her if they saw that she was with someone else now. It would be better for him not to accompany her.

After dinner, Mama Gong went square dancing with the neighbors and Gong Mo and Sheng Nanxuan went on a walk by the roadside.

Gong Mo asked, “Are you really coming to my classmate’s engagement party?”

“Of course.”

“But that sounds troublesome…”

“Do they know you dated Big Brother?” Sheng Nanxuan looked at her shrewdly.

She felt extremely awkward. She didn’t expect him to guess what was on her mind and she nodded.

“That makes it more imperative that I go, then.” He smiled. “I’m going to marry you. I can’t be hidden forever, can I?”

“… Whatever you say!” Gong Mo replied helplessly.

The pair walked in a circle before retracing their steps. Sheng Nanxuan saw her home and prepared to return to the guesthouse.

Gong Mo suddenly remembered her conversation with Mrs. Sheng and called out, “I have something to tell you!”

“What are you standing by the door for?” Mama Gong’s voice rang out.

Sheng Nanxuan turned around to look and found her walking up the stairs. He smiled, “We just arrived too.”

“Oh, bidding each other goodbye, I see.” Mama Gong smiled as she entered the house.

Sheng Nanxuan said to Gong Mo, “Rest early. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

“… Okay.”

The next day, the pair went to Rising River Restaurant for breakfast. They had no time to discuss anything important.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the restaurant, they found Jiang Yao already there. She waved at Gong Mo. Gong Mo led Sheng Nanxuan over and Jiang Yao asked, puzzled, “Who is this?”

“My boyfriend,” said Gong Mo awkwardly.

Jiang Yao’s eyes widened in surprise. “Boyfriend?” Wasn’t she still together with Sheng Donglin the month before? Why did she change her boyfriend?

Gong Mo didn’t know how to explain things and changed the subject awkwardly, “Let’s head in.”

Jiang Yao was still very curious. She whispered a question as they walked, “What happened? Everyone knows about you and Sheng Donglin and they’re bound to ask.”

“Let them ask!” Gong Mo said frustratedly.

Jiang Yao felt a little put off by her attitude. She was trying to show some care and concern so why did she treat her as though she were digging for gossip?

It was still early, so the guests were drinking tea and playing cards. Half of their classmates were already present when they walked into the card room.

Everyone noticed the unfamiliar Sheng Nanxuan and asked Jiang Yao, “Is that your boyfriend?”

Jiang Yao denied it immediately. “He’s Gong Mo’s boyfriend!”

“Ah?” Everyone looked at Gong Mo, shocked.

Gong Mo smiled. “Continue your game. We’ll be over there.” With that, she dragged Sheng Nanxuan over to a corner seat.

The rest of the people started to whisper and discuss. “Wasn’t her boyfriend Sheng Donglin?”

“How could Sheng Donglin have really liked her? He was merely toying with her!”

“Tsk. I did say that it’s not easy to climb the social ladder. I really don’t know what she’s thinking. She’s clearly a person with a good personality and doesn’t seem like someone who would live off a rich man, yet she went ahead and did that.”

“Aish, this man looks quite good too. Is he another rich man?”

“Jiang Yao, you came in with them. Did you get the scoop?”

Jiang Yao said awkwardly, “What scoop? How can I pry into someone else’s affairs?” With that said, she walked off with her tea.

In the corner, Gong Mo sat on a rattan chair and complained exasperatedly to Sheng Nanxuan, “I told you you didn’t have to come. It’s so awkward now.”

“Why don’t you explain it then?” asked Sheng Nanxuan a little unhappily.

“How am I supposed to explain? They’ll have more questions the more I answer!”

“You didn’t even introduce me!”
