"From that moment on, I knew that the contents of this box were not so simple. If Gu Momo took it, it would be tantamount to courting death!"
Gu Shanshan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, "Dad is really amazing! This trick, this trick is called crisis transfer!"
Gu Zhenting glared at her, his expression one of exasperation. "What are you still standing there for? You've been kicked out of the Li family. If you want to go back, you'd better start preparing for the Zhennas Jewelry Design Competition! If you make it to the finals and even meet Mingyue, you'll have a chance to make a comeback!"
Gu Shanshan felt a pang of grievance in her eyes as she was stared at, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
She gritted her teeth reluctantly, "It's Dad, I'll work hard..."
At that moment, no one noticed that under a towering tree in the lush garden, a young man in a black trench coat had somehow appeared and was now standing there.
The black trench coat obscured the man's face, revealing only his aggressive yet mischievous and playful eyes.
His delicate eyes had a slightly wicked curve at the corners, and his brows exuded a youthful heroism, but the corners of his eyes and brows were full of a fierce and sinister aura that was not to be trifled with, as if with a slight curve of his eyes, he would turn into an attacking venomous snake.
A wicked smile crept into the corner of his eye as he whistled softly.
The next moment, several black snakes suddenly darted out of the jungle and rushed directly towards Gu Shanshan, Gu Zhenting, and the other two!
Gu Zhenting and his two companions were still basking in the satisfaction of scheming against Gu Momo when they suddenly heard a strange sound.
The three turned their heads and saw several snakes rushing towards them, and they immediately opened their mouths in panic:
"ah--"
*
Gu Momo finally returned to Jiupin Mingyuan at eight o'clock in the evening.
Of course, she also had to bring along her precious Ling'er, plus that annoying Li Zhanting!
She glanced at her watch idly. If she hadn't returned by today, she was probably at the Li family's house for the evening bonfire party.
Li Qingling was overjoyed to visit Gu Momo's Jiupin Mingyuan again. She ran around the room excitedly, "Mommy, your room is even prettier now! Ling'er still loves Mommy here. Can Ling'er come here often in the future?"
Looking at Li Qingling's innocent and well-behaved face, Gu Momo couldn't help but squat down and give Li Qingling a kiss on the cheek.
"Of course, Ling'er can come whenever she wants. Just treat this place as your own home."
Li Qingling was overjoyed and immediately showed off to Li Zhanting, "Daddy, Ling'er got kissed by Mommy again!"
"Didn't Daddy get a kiss from Mommy today? Hmm?"
Li Zhanting shamelessly brought his face close to Gu Momo's lips, his voice somewhat innocent, "Momo, I want one too."
Gu Momo casually took off her slippers and slapped them onto Li Zhanting's handsome face:
"Do you want me to slap you across the face?! Huh?!"
As if he had been prepared, Li Zhanting easily grabbed Gu Momo's hand and gently patted it on his face, his handsome face seemingly full of enjoyment. "Of course I want it. Momo's big slap is also very sweet."
Gu Momo watched helplessly as Li Zhanting took her soft, smooth hands and gently stroked his face, while he, like a kitten, looked on with obvious enjoyment…
Gu Momo suddenly felt her blood surging!
He calls this getting slapped in the face? He's clearly taking advantage of her!
"Get out!" Gu Momo pushed Li Zhanting away and turned to go into her room. Before leaving, she said to Li Qingling, "Ling'er, Mommy will go to her room to take care of things for a while. You can call me anytime if you need anything."
Li Qingling waved to Gu Momo obediently, "Okay, Mommy, Mommy's going now!"
Li Zhanting, standing to the side, was consumed by jealousy as he watched his precious Ling'er interact intimately with Gu Momo.
It seems I can't bring Ling'er next time; she has absolutely no standing here!
Gu Momo arrived at her room and quickly turned on her computer.
She had a strong premonition that her mother's matter was definitely not that simple, and she had to draw people from the Liuli Pavilion to investigate the box and her mother's affairs thoroughly.
Her computer had just been turned on when her phone suddenly buzzed.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was Gu Shanshan.
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she still turned on her phone. Immediately, Gu Shanshan's furious voice came from the other end:
"Gu Momo, you ill-intentioned thing! You must have deliberately released snakes into our Gu family, right!"
Snake? The question flashed across Gu Momo's eyes in an instant.
She was already used to the Gu family shifting the blame, so she simply leaned back in the soft chair with a half-smile and said, "Gu Shanshan, you think you're so great? I have a thousand ways to crush you, do you think I would bother to make you that kind of thing?"
Gu Shanshan was furious when she heard this. She roared, "Who else could it be but you! As soon as you left, a lot of snakes rushed out and specifically bit me and Mom and Dad. They didn't go anywhere else! Now Mom and Dad have been bitten many times, and these snakes are only mildly venomous. If their venom were stronger, you would have killed us!"
The amused smile in Gu Momo's eyes gradually disappeared.
She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her eyes seemingly lost in thought.
Snakes, by normal logic, should not attack people on their own initiative.
Moreover, that's the Gu family's courtyard. They should have sprayed insect repellent to prevent snakes and insects. How could there be snakes there by such a coincidence?
Fortunately, coincidentally, it appeared right after she left.
The smile in her eyes vanished, and her voice turned cold. "I'll say it again, I didn't release the snake. Don't try to pin this on me!"
