After Mo Yu woke up, she felt a splitting headache. She lay on the bed and recalled for a long time before remembering what stupid thing she had done last night.

She called out tentatively, “Gu Lian, I drank too much yesterday. I didn’t spout nonsense, right?”

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything the drunkard said.” Gu Lian maintained his aloof attitude and didn’t mention anything about his wildly beating heart last night.

Mo Yu hugged the computer to work in the morning. After lunch, she was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. She coaxed Gu Lian to exchange bodies with her and lay on the bed to take an afternoon nap.

Indeed, lying flat was the right way to enjoy life. It was not her style to sacrifice herself for her career.

Gu Lian did not plan to go to the company again. The first two times he went, Su Mei had invited him for afternoon tea and a tour. He could not come into contact with much internal information. He might as well stay at home and see the company’s current situation.

Gu Lian logged into the computer and began to check the company’s stocks. Mo Yu’s phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Zhao Yun.

[If it’s convenient, it’s best for you to prepare your own helmet to go to the racing arena tomorrow. It’ll be safer and more reassuring.]

Racing arena? Why would Mo Yu go there?

Gu Lian was somewhat puzzled, but he still politely thanked Zhao Yun.

He planned to ask Mo Yu about her situation at night, but he still went to buy her a helmet first.

Gu Lian asked the driver to send him to the extreme sports equipment mall. Racing had a certain degree of danger. Gu Lian did not dare to be careless when it came to matters related to life or death.

Coincidentally, Mo Xue was also choosing equipment with a few socialites.

“Little Xue, try the white racing suit. It will definitely show off your figure!”

“The red helmet looks good. Try it.”

“I remember that you even invited Mo Yu? That country bumpkin probably didn’t expect these things would need to be prepared.”

Mo Xue was surrounded by them. Listening to the compliments, her mood improved a lot.

She could not contact Gu Lian now, so she could only rely on Gu Chen to pass on all the news.

And Mo Yu could enter and leave the ward at will. Coupled with the fact that she stole her limelight at the banquet, her hatred for Mo Yu could be said to have reached its peak. Listening to her friends belittle Mo Yu, she finally vented her anger.

Mo Xue chose the white racing suit and the same color helmet and went to the counter to pay. She smiled and said, “Everyone, don’t say that about Little Yu. After all, she has stayed in the countryside for so long. It’s normal for her not to know how to prepare in advance. Help me choose, let’s buy her a set too.” As soon as she said this, the people beside her could not help but praise her for being beautiful and kind.

Li Luo was also one of those who complimented Mo Xue. Her father wanted to strike a deal with Mo Xue’s biological parents, so Li Luo had no choice but to build a good relationship with her.

She praised Mo Xue and looked out of the window. She happened to see ‘Mo Yu’ entering the door.

“Little Xue, look. That country bumpkin actually found this place.”

As soon as Gu Lian entered, he heard this group of people gathered around and discussing.

There were fewer people in this kind of mall, so it was usually quieter. However, Mo Xue liked to highlight her status with liveliness, so no matter where she went, she was surrounded by ducks and was extremely noisy.

Gu Lian originally didn’t want to bother with them, but there were always blind people who came to provoke him.

“Do you know how to pick clothes? Do you need me to explain it to you?” Li Luo walked up to Mo Yu.

“Luoluo, you’re such a nice person. You’re even willing to talk to her.”

From time to time, people in the small group would laugh mockingly. There were also people who kept sizing her up with disdainful gazes.

Gu Lian really did not want to talk to them. He carefully checked the label of the clothes and considered the fabric. But the group of socialites seemed to think that he was looking at the price to see if he could afford it. They laughed again.

“Little sister, if you want to buy something cheap, you can go to the underground mall. Everything here costs above thousands.” Li Luo could not help but laugh.

Gu Lian felt that she was really noisy. He quickly chose three sets of clothes and asked the shop assistant to pack them up. He also asked the shop assistant to bring three Aria helmets from the same color set.

The shop assistant quickly scanned the QR code and asked, “Hello, it’s a total of 139,800 yuan. May I ask if you want to swipe your card or cash?”

Before Gu Lian could reply, Li Luo interjected, “Look at how she’s dressed. Does she look like a rich person? Don’t ask. She’ll probably come back for a refund after we leave.”

Gu Lian couldn’t take it anymore and rolled his eyes, but his good upbringing made him hold it in. He handed over a card for the salesperson to swipe.

Seeing that she was not responding, Li Luo went even further. She walked over and leaned against her. “I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?”
