Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 884

Chapter 884: Be on Guard Against Mo Li

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gong Xin couldn’t agree with Gu Zi’s calm demeanor. Gu Zi seemed far too nonchalant about everything, and after the whole Lin Miao incident, Gong Xin felt she had every right to be on edge. Now that she had seen through Mo Li’s little schemes, there was no time to sit back and do nothing.

“This is a catastrophe!” Gong Xin declared dramatically, waving her hands in the air. “I don’t care what anyone says, I am not letting another bizarre woman into our family! I need to go back and keep an eye on Mo Li. I’m leaving now!”

With that, she grabbed the food box tighter and hurried off.

It was a stroke of luck—or perhaps fate—that she returned just in time. Mo Li had gone to the hospital cafeteria, borrowed their kitchen, and prepared a meal that she was just about to hand over to Gong Zhan when Gong Xin stormed in.

Without missing a beat, Gong Xin intercepted the meal, took it from Mo Li, and began opening the containers as she said, “Oh, Mo Li, you’re too kind! The food looks delicious, and it’s perfect because neither my brother nor I have eaten yet.”

Mo Li hadn’t expected Gong Xin to return so suddenly, much less take the meal from her hands. For a moment, she was caught off guard, her usual polished smile faltering. Recovering quickly, she forced a thin, artificial grin and replied, “I’m Mr. Gong’s secretary, and I was asked to take care of him. It’s only natural that I do my part.”

Mo Li was still sharp, her mind working swiftly. Her words were laced with subtle meaning, implying that she had every right to be there, looking after Gong Zhan. If Gu Zi hadn’t clued her in earlier, Gong Xin might have missed the subtext, but now she saw Mo Li’s ambitions as clear as day.

Gu Zi had been right. A woman traveling all this way just to care for a man always had more than meets the eye. Mo Li’s excuse of being “tasked by someone” was merely a front to make her actions seem justifiable. This woman’s intentions were far more calculating than Lin Miao’s ever had been.

What scared Gong Xin even more was that her brother hadn’t seen through Mo Li’s ploy. Gong Zhan was a proud man who hated when women approached him with ulterior motives, yet he hadn’t noticed a thing.

This made it painfully obvious—Mo Li was no ordinary woman, and her cunning was cause for serious concern.

Determined more than ever, Gong Xin resolved that she had to crush this potential threat before it grew any further.

Gong Xin might have a carefree, boisterous personality, but she wasn’t foolish. Once she made up her mind to do something, she put serious thought into it.
