Chapter 199 - 199: A Decent Job



In the beginning, Lin Miao wanted to display her identity as the true Miss Gu by eagerly coming to collect the mail here. However, as time passed, she no longer wished to come. She felt like a mere errand girl because of it.

She tore open the envelope and began reading the letter. To her surprise, the sender was her high school classmate, MO Li. How did MO Li know this address? Lin Miao felt a sense of panic rising within her.

“Tomorrow afternoon at two o’clock, casually come to the tea house near the Central Park and sit in Room Five. You must keep the appointment on time.

The police have approached me, and if you don’t come, you might regret it.”

Reading the contents of the letter, Lin Miao’s eyes widened. Was the reason Lin Cheng came to her because he had got hold of a lead regarding the lost dowry?

Apart from her involvement in the dowry, she couldn’t think of any other reason why the police would approach MO Li. And why didn’t they approach her directly?

Her thoughts began to blur. She swiftly folded the letter and glanced around before turning around and rushing upstairs.

Her expression now was very dull and anxious. She knew MO Li wasn’t a good person. Her visit now meant something, but she wasn’t sure what. However, it certainly wasn’t something good.

However, just as MO Li had said in her letter, she would be in even more danger if she did not go.

Upon returning home, she left Gu Shan’s mail on the table and headed straight to her room. Zhang Mei called her from behind, but she didn’t respond.

Zhang Mei shook her head helplessly. Lin Miao was good in many aspects, but she wasn’t as adept as Gu Zi in pleasing the Gong family’s parents.

She had intended to mention that she had made soup for Lin Miao to take to the Gong family, hoping to mend the relationship with Gong Zhan. But seeing Lin Miao’s absent-minded state now, she feared it might cause more offense. Well, she decided it was better to take it herself to ensure it was delivered properly.

Zhang Mei planned to mention that Lin Miao had made the soup herself, hoping to help restore Lin Miao’s image in front of the Gong family members.

Lin Miao had a restless night and woke up early the next day. She felt unsure of what to do, but staying at home made her anxious. She even worried that the police might come to interrogate her at any moment.

With no other option, Lin Miao informed Zhang Mei and left early for Central Park.

When the time came for their meeting in the afternoon, Lin Miao appeared quite weary. As she sat down in the private room, she seemed a bit nervous.

MO Li stood up and poured tea for her former sidekick while sizing her up.

In the past, she thought Lin Miao was rather attractive, now, upon closer observation, she didn’t compare to Gu Zi at all.

Lin Miao had her hair tied in a ponytail with an unnecessary white bow headband. Her short stature didn’t favor her, especially with a white polka dot long skirt. She wore trendy red ladies’ flat sandals. In fact, everything seemed quite fashionable, yet it was presented in a very unrefined manner.

A trace of disdain quickly flickered across MO Li’s eyes. Growing up in the countryside, Lin Miao might have changed her status, but her aesthetic sense seemed challenging to improve.

Lin Miao had relied on her knack for lying to establish herself at school, claiming her family was some kind of landowner, and MO Li had actually believed it.

Thinking back, MO Li felt quite angry. How could she be deceived by such a foolish woman?

However, now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Despite being foolish, this woman could be of unexpected help to MO Li in achieving her goals.

MO Li wore a smile across her face and said, “I won’t beat around the bush. Right now, you need my help to clear your suspicion and avoid conviction.” She explained the encounter with Gu Zi and the incident where the police sought her out.

She was quite clear in her words. Even though Lin Miao might not have been the sharpest, she understood. Gu Zi and the others intended to use MO Li to find evidence of her stealing the dowry.

But why was MO Li helping her? And why go through the trouble of meeting her?

Lin Miao wasn’t a stranger to dealing with MO Li. This woman was driven by self-interest and wouldn’t lend a hand for free.

With a guarded expression, Lin Miao asked, “What do you want?”

“As expected of the person who managed to fool our classmates,” MO Li teased. “You’re so smart. Of course, I don’t have the intention of bringing up old scores.

We’re all classmates, so let’s not talk about the past.”

She deliberately praised Lin Miao, appearing genuinely earnest.

Lin Miao was uncertain and asked again, ‘What do you want?”

MO Li didn’t plan to beat around the bush either, smiling as she said, “What I want is simple—a decent job. I’m currently working at a small event planning shop, and it’s neither well-paying nor respectable. I just want a decent job to give my dad some dignity..”
