YOUNG MASTER GU, PLEASE BE GENTLE

Immense hatred and painful resentment caused Qin Yawen’s eyes to become red and watery. The reporters surrounded her and wouldn’t stop their endless interrogation. Out in the open, they had exposed her deepest, darkest secrets and humiliated her, leaving her with nowhere to stand. In the face of all the judgment, she faltered, close to a mental breakdown. “No! I did not! It’s all lies!”

After screaming until her voice was broken and hoarse, Qin Yawen left the reporters behind. As she charged outside the venue, her act of desperation in departing the scene in such a manner was causing chaos at the event location.

When Tang Mo’er looked at her father, she only noticed Tang Hai taking a quick glance towards Qin Yawen’s retreating back, before steering his gaze towards her. “Mo’er, come here.”

Tang Mo’er walked up to Tang Hai and asked in a puzzled manner, “Daddy, why are you here?”

She had won the battle, her father’s arrival was the cornerstone that enabled her to win without putting in much effort.

But why did he arrive here? Was it purely a coincidence?

Tang Hai touched Tang Mo’er’s silky black hair, “Someone placed a copy of the entertainment newspapers in my office this morning. It was enclosed with the following words, ‘Do you plan to intervene in your ex-wife’s bullying of your daughter? If you are not going to step in, you won’t be able to do so in the future anymore.’

Who had the capabilities to place a copy of the entertainment newspapers on the Mayor’s desk, without getting caught? Even the tone in the note was both arrogant and smug. Tang Hai lifted his eyes and noticed Gu Mohan standing in the mezzanine above.

Dressed in a custom-made black suit, Gu Mohan stood beside the railings, exuding a dignified elegance and his deep and narrow eyes crossed paths with Tang Hai’s gaze, forming electrifying sparks.

Hearing his words, Tang Mo’er confirmed her guess that it would be Gu Mohan, who had invited her father over. Her bright and clear eyes landed on Gu Mohan, white teeth biting down on her supple lip.

I guess I’ll forgive him for scolding me this morning…

“Mo’er, follow Daddy out.”

“Okay.”

Tang Mo’er’s hand was held by Tang Hai and she followed him out, taking a quick glance back at Gu Mohan as she left the hall.

Gu Mohan raised his good-looking brow. Looking at her as she was dragged away by her father like a young girl, his face turned gentle.

“President, I’ve just received some news, Madam has arrived in Karghalik.” Yan Dong reported with a low voice.

…

Backstage.

In the Mayor’s holding room, Tang Hai took off his blazer as the doors suddenly opened. Qin Yawen walked into the room.

The secretary stood outside and reported respectfully, “Mayor, Mrs Han is here.”

Tang Hai nodded and the secretary closed the doors.

Qin Yawen’s eyes were complete red and puffy. Being so close to Tang Hai, she wasn’t in her best mental state and he looked at her, his face unreadable. “How did you learn that Han Dong wanted to rape Tang Mo’er? Or is it, you knew about Han Dong’s perverted thoughts towards Mo’er all along, and you just never made the effort to stop him all these years and even allowed it to escalate to such a state?”

“I…”

Tang Hai had received her answer, “Qin Yawen, how did you become such an evil woman? You’ve become someone completely different.”

Everyone else could scold her, but only this man, who was extremely protective of her back then, couldn’t. Qin Yawen was visibly agitated. “Why did I do this, isn’t it all for our daughter, Qi’er? Tang Mo’er is dating Gu Mohan now. Are you going to just watch while Tang Mo’er snatches away Qi’er’s happiness? How are you fit to be a father?”

“Enough! Qi’er has enjoyed a lavish lifestyle and has had access to everything all these years at the Lu family. What about Mo’er? She’s only a child, she’s innocent!”

“Ha,” Qin Yawen sneered, “Tang Hai, aren’t you acting all sanctimonious now, like you’re trying to be the good man. Didn’t you also sacrifice Tang Mo’er back then in exchange for your position as Mayor?”
