Chapter 543: A Wedding for the Disabled Boss (18)
Seeing her being so ignorant, Shu Shihuan immediately became impatient and said with a frown, "What does it have to do with you when I get married? We have only met once or twice, not even acquaintances. Don't act like I am sorry for you."
"No, no, you misunderstood. I'm just too surprised. After all, I haven't heard of your marriage..." He Linglong blushed and hurriedly covered up.
She did have a crush on Shu Shihuan. After all, he had a distinguished family background, was handsome, and was also extremely outstanding. How could she not like such a perfect man? So when she knew that her brother knew Shu Shihuan, she pestered her brother to introduce them to each other, wanting to become the next mistress of the Shu family.
Unfortunately, before she could succeed, Shu Shihuan had a car accident, broke his leg and became a disabled person. He was no longer the promising heir of the Shu family. Of course, she could not marry a disabled man, so she naturally put Shu Shihuan behind her and went to pursue other young men from wealthy families.
This time at Mr. Zhou's birthday party, she saw that Shu Shihuan had healed his legs without her knowing when, and had returned to being the handsome and dazzling young talent he used to be. Her old thoughts came back to her mind, and she was ready to act. So she came over to test him, wanting to see if she could still win over Shu Shihuan.
However, she never expected that she would fail at the outset. Shu Shihuan had completely forgotten who she was and had to mention her brother's name before he could recognize her. What made her even more desperate was that Shu Shihuan had been beaten to the punch by someone else and had already gotten married!
He Linglong saw Mo Shichu looking at her with a smile, his eyes seemed to be full of contempt and disdain, as if he was laughing at her. She immediately ignored whether it would cause Shu Shihuan to be disgusted, and said to Mo Shichu in a meaningful way: "I guess you are the wife that Shihuan married? I wonder which family you are from? I don't think I have seen you before?"
Her family background and circle are similar to those of Shu Shihuan and others. She said that she had never seen Mo Shichu before, which was implying that Mo Shichu was not from their circle. Since he was not from this circle, his family background must not be very good. With a bad family background, how could he be worthy of Shu Shihuan?
"There's no need to pry into my background in such a sarcastic way. Are you trying to say that I'm not worthy of Shu Shihuan? If I'm not worthy of him, then who is? You?" Mo Shichu asked with a sarcastic smile.
He Linglong choked suddenly. She had never expected that Mo Shichu would not play by the rules and directly expose her shameful thoughts.
She was so angry that she couldn't admit it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like she was coveting a married man? Although she did covet him, she couldn't let anyone know. So she rolled her eyes and suddenly looked like she was about to cry. She said to Mo Shichu, "That's not what I meant. You misunderstood me. I was just curious. How could you misunderstand me like that?"
"Okay, I'm not in the mood to listen to your acting here. Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with us. Can you leave now? You're disturbing me and my wife." Shu Shihuan said to He Linglong with a cold face and a look of annoyance.
When He Linglong saw his expression, she felt as if she was pierced by thousands of arrows and her face turned pale. Although she was indeed vain and wanted to find other men, she really liked Shu Shihuan. But now she was despised and hated by the man she liked. She was devastated and immediately fled the scene with her face covered.
"It's so funny. How can He Linglong have the nerve to look for Shu Shihuan? Wasn't she chasing after the youngest son of the Wang family a few days ago?" People who saw the farce gathered together and gossiped.
"She got close to Shu Shihuan again after seeing that he had recovered! She has absolutely no self-awareness. How could Shu Shihuan possibly like her?" The other people also lowered their heads and whispered to others.
"She avoided him when he was down and out, but now he's recovered, she's trying to get close to him. She's really shameless. He already has a wife, but she's still trying to steal his girl away."
"Speaking of which, I don't know when Shu Shihuan married his wife, but she's really beautiful. No wonder Shu Shihuan was willing to marry her even though she didn't have a good family background."
"Didn't they say that Shu Shihuan stayed by his side when he was down and out, and that true love was revealed in times of adversity, and that's why they stayed together?"
"Who knows? But this Madam Shu is really lucky. She was with Shu Shihuan when he was in trouble. It seems that her position is very stable."
…
People around were talking about Shu Shihuan and Mo Shichu, but talk was talk, they were all well-known people and would not say inappropriate words to others' faces and embarrass them, so Shu Shihuan and Mo Shichu pretended not to know that they had become the focus of gossip.
Some people he knew before came to greet Shu Shihuan, and Shu Shihuan introduced Mo Shichu to them, showing his importance and respect for his wife.
Although it was the first time that Mo Shichu appeared in public as Mrs. Shu, she did not show any shyness. Instead, she was very confident and able to interact with people just right, making people feel warm and relaxed. Shu Shihuan even looked at her with admiration.
"Have you done a lot of homework in private? Well done! You can't tell at all that you are a novice." Shu Shihuan said to Mo Shichu with appreciation.
I'm certainly not a social novice, Mo Shichu thought, what's the big deal about this kind of banquet? She didn't know how many solemn state banquets she had attended, and she was just using a butcher knife to kill a chicken at this small occasion.
After appearing at Mr. Zhou's birthday party, Mo Shichu, the newly appointed young lady of the Shu family, began to have a place in the circle. Gradually, some noble ladies invited her out for tea, shopping and beauty treatments.
After Shu Shihuan recovered, it meant that it was a foregone conclusion that he would inherit the Shu family. Naturally, Mo Shichu became a popular person because of her husband's status. Not only did she receive invitations from noble ladies, but even some auctions and charities began to send her invitations.
However, Mo Shichu had little interest in the lives and social interactions of these noble ladies. She seldom accepted these invitations and spent more time on her own small green plant shop and her father.
Father Mo's injuries are not easy to recover from. If he is treated with conventional means in the hospital, he may not be able to recover in three to five years. Not to mention the issue of medical expenses, even Mother Mo will definitely have psychological problems after taking care of her husband who has limited mobility in the hospital for such a long time. Mo Shichu doesn't want his parents to waste their time in the hospital, so he starts to prepare special pills for Father Mo.
Mo Shichu only said that this pill was obtained from a famous Chinese medicine expert, and it was priceless. She spent a lot of effort to get it. Mo's father and mother were not very knowledgeable and did not know that her words were full of loopholes. Naturally, they believed whatever Mo Shichu said without any doubt. Mo Shichu asked Mo's father to take these pills, and he ate them without saying a word.
