Chapter 318: Chapter 317: Gu Chu vs Lin Mo (2)
Translator: ShinoJ
Her sweet voice was full of coquettishness.
When she said it, everyone was shocked.
Even Lin Mo, who had always been good at hiding his emotions with a smile, was absent-minded for a long time, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
In his past life and this life, Gu Chu was not a person who relied on her face to make a living. Somebody without an ego would be invincible in this world. As long as they could achieve their goals, what was wrong with acting a little cute and pretending to be inferior?
Lin Mo was an important figure in the United States. He had a high position and a huge business. Gu Chu reluctantly called him “Daddy”. With Lin Mo’s personality, he would never hold a press conference to say “that girl is not my daughter”.
Lin Mo would not kill her for the time being.
This meant that Gu Chu could do whatever she wanted in the United States by calling him “Daddy”. If she was met with trouble, saying “My Daddy is Mr. Mo” could easily resolve the disaster from all directions.
“Carry me~” Gu Chu’s smile was sweet.
Lin Mo: “…”
As expected, she was still that cunning little fellow from his memories.
Lin Mo did not carry Gu Chu. Instead, he brought Gu Chu into the elevator. The silver elevator door closed, blocking the countless gossipy gazes outside. The employees looked at each other in dismay. Soon, all kinds of rumors emerged:
“F*ck! Today, Mr. Mo brought his daughter here! Oh my God, when did Mr. Mo have a child?”
“She looks only five or six years old. She’s so obedient and cute.”
“Am I the only one who’s curious about who the mother of the child is? Mr. Mo doesn’t look like someone who would fall in love!”
“Did his wife run away while pregnant? That could be a possibility…”
“Mr. Mo… has a daughter… This world is magical…”
Gu Chu’s goal was achieved. The news that Mr. Mo had a daughter spread like lightning.
Lin Mo was in a position where countless people paid attention to him. His every move affected many people.
Today, Gu Chu’s earth-shattering call of a father broke Lin Mo’s peaceful life. This could also be considered Gu Chu’s revenge against him. In my previous life, you caused me to be hunted by countless people. In this life, I’ll call you Daddy. What are you going to do about it?
If you die one day, I can still inherit your wealth as your “daughter”.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
…
Lin Mo brought Gu Chu to the large office on the top floor of the building. The office was large and bright. The large windows were showing the bustling scenery of this bustling city.
Gu Chu sat down and ordered without any courtesy, “I’d like some pearl milk tea, thank you.”
Lin Mo smiled and asked his assistant to bring the pearl milk tea.
The assistant did it silently.
He was more and more convinced that this little girl had a close relationship with Mr. Mo. Otherwise, how could Mr. Mo be so nice to her?
After a while, the assistant brought the pearl milk tea over and left quietly. In the huge office, only Lin Mo and Gu Chu were left.
Gu Chu took a sip of the milk tea and tasted it. “It tastes terrible. The milk tea prepared by Cheng Qi is still the best.”
Although she was complaining, Gu Chu continued to talk about business. “If I’m not wrong, the hacker forum and Poker organization were organized by you. I won the third hacker competition. Give me the prize money and prizes.”
Gu Chu was not here to catch up with Lin Mo.
If she could, she really wanted to stay away from this person for the rest of her life.
She had entered the hacking competition only for the prize money of tens of millions of dollars and the mysterious moonstone.
“I can give you the prize money.” Lin Mo sat down elegantly. His pale face did not hide his elegant temperament. “But I can’t give you the moonstone for the time being.”
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes. “Are you kidding me?”
As a six-year-old child, I had come all the way to the United States to participate in the competition in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, all for the sake of the moonstone! Now you’re saying that you’ll break the contract and not give me the moonstone?
I’ll beat you up!
Lin Mo noticed Gu Chu’s murderous gaze, his smile became gentler. “Chuchu, this stone contains a huge secret. I can’t explain it to you right now. When you grow up, I’ll tell you all the secrets about this stone personally.”
Gu Chu grabbed the pearl milk tea. If you say one more word, this is gonna end up on your face.
The reason why Gu Chu was able to come to this world was all because of this small moonstone.
If she didn’t get the moonstone and didn’t find out the secret of the stone, it meant that every day in this world, Gu Chu would have to live in fear. She might end up disappearing from this world any second, leaving Gu Manxi and Song Chen.
It was not easy for her to have a good life. How could she let it be ruined by a rock that was like a ticking bomb!
She had to get this rock!
“You have a natural connection with this rock.” Lin Mo looked at Gu Chu deeply, as if he was looking at a treasure he admired, “This rock is very important. It concerns the fate of you, me, and Mr. Shen Si. You’re still young. You don’t have the connections or ability to help you find out the secret of this stone. I’ll help you keep this stone first. When you’re 20 years old, I’ll personally hand it over to you.”
Gu Chu gritted her teeth in secret.
To put it bluntly, he didn’t want to give it to her.
He really didn’t need to come up with such a tacky reason.
Gu Chu couldn’t help but suspect that she had always been in Mo’s trap. Every step she took was in this person’s calculations. Mo was definitely not a good person. He was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to bite your throat anytime and anywhere.
Gu Chu put down the pearl milk tea. “Just you wait. One day, I’ll kill you myself.”
Lin Mo smiled. “I’ll wait for you.”
The two of them exchanged glances, but Lin Mo was still smiling. There was not a single flaw in his expression.
“Knock, knock –”
Outside the toughened glass door, the assistant carefully reminded, “Mr. Mo, a person who claimed to be Mr. Cheng Qi is here downstairs. He said he wants to take… this little girl home.”
Lin Mo said calmly, “Tell him to wait for a moment.”
Lin Mo was quite surprised. Cheng Qi’s speed of finding people was unexpected.
“But Mr. Cheng Qi said that if he doesn’t see this little girl in ten minutes, he will use special methods…” the assistant’s expression was complicated
Gu Chu jumped off the sofa. She placed the unfinished pearl milk tea on the table and said, “Alright, I’ll go down now. The prize money for the competition will be transferred to my account, not a single cent less. I won’t care about that stone for the time being, but Mo, don’t have any ideas that you shouldn’t have, or else you’ll definitely pay the price.”
Lin Mo smiled without showing his teeth.
Gu Chu hated his smile, which was as fake as a mask.
Lin Mo personally sent Gu Chu down the stairs. In the hall on the first floor, Gu Chu caught a glimpse of the statue-like Cheng Qi from afar. The youth had a majestic aura, and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. Gu Chu waved her hand, “Brother Cheng Qi.”
Cheng Qi turned around. His gloominess dissipated, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
“Why are you here? Do you know how worried I was about you?” Cheng Qi bent down and caressed Gu Chu’s soft hair. His gaze fell on Lin Mo, who was not far away. His handsome eyes narrowed.. This person gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
