Cannon-Fodder Female Supporting Character Swaps Bodies with Her Cold Husband-Chapter 55 - Scheming

55 Scheming

Gu Lian was forced to accept everyone’s questions and concerns, but it was rare that he did not feel annoyed. He was even willing to coax Gu Zi, whose eyes were already red from crying.

In the end, it was only when Old Master Gu appeared that everyone calmed down and sat down to eat.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Gu Lian, and no one noticed the depressed Gu Chen.

In order to take down Gu Lian, Gu Chen had specially looked for the Shen family to join forces. He had even put down his pride to look for Mo Xue to express his goodwill. However, he had never expected Gu Lian to wake up so early and recover so quickly.

!!

At the company meeting today, a few shareholders and managers who had already defected to him immediately turned against him when they saw Gu Lian. They leaned towards Gu Lian eagerly, making Gu Chen furious yet unable to do anything.

Gu Chen, whose plans had backfired, was unhappy even when he was sitting at the dining table. However, only Mo Yu noticed him in the entire house.

Mo Yu looked at Gu Chen, who was eating white rice bite by bite. She reasonably suspected that he treated the white rice as Gu Lian and wished he could eat his flesh and blood.

Mo Yu put down her chopsticks and took a tissue to wipe her mouth. “Uncle, why are you only eating rice and not any of the other dishes? Is it not to your liking?”

As soon as Mo Yu said this, everyone at the dining table focused their attention on Gu Chen. Gu Chen’s chopsticks were stuck awkwardly midair. He could only raise his chopsticks and stare at everyone.

“Uncle has been working hard for the company recently. He must have been thinking about the contract just now.” Gu Lian glanced at Gu Chen and then at Mo Yu, who was gloating beside him. He understood.

Seeing that Gu Lian was willing to help him out, Gu Chen naturally followed along. He did not forget to pick up a piece of food and put it in his bowl. “Aiya, look. I was so engrossed in thinking that I forgot. Everyone, eat.”

Gu Lian was willing to help Gu Chen, but Mo Yu was unwilling.

She remembered that in the original novel, Gu Chen later hooked up with the Shen family. After earning a lot of money, he even helped Mo Xue frame her.

Mo Yu planned to dampen his spirit from now on, so as to avoid any more troubles in the future.

“Uncle, you’re so busy! You’ve worked hard. I heard that you’re working with the Shen family. How is it going now?” Mo Yu said leisurely, but her words hit Gu Chen’s sore spot.

How could he think about working with the Shen family now? They already ran away.

However, because they were all sitting together at the dining table, Gu Chen could only brace himself and continue. “We’re still negotiating, but the Shen family said that they still need to consider it.”

With that, Gu Chen picked up his bowl and finished the rest of the rice in a few bites. He put down his chopsticks and ran away without even wiping the rice grains at the corner of his mouth.

Mo Yu looked at his flustered back and could not help but squint her eyes and smile.

Fight with me? See if I don’t play you to death! Mo Yu secretly thought in her heart.

Without Gu Chen by her side, Mo Yu felt that even the food was more fragrant.

After eating and drinking her fill, Mo Yu returned to her room. When she turned on her phone, she found that it was all messages from Zhao Wen.

[Zhao Wen: Sis, the Gu Corporation really came to work with us!]

[Zhao Wen: It’s a wilderness survival activity! This has been very popular for the past two years!]

[Zhao Wen: We’re rich! We’re rich!]

Mo Yu looked at these words and laughed so hard that she could not open her eyes. She could almost see a steady stream of money flowing into her wallet after the show was broadcasted in the future.

Mo Yu put down her phone in satisfaction and decided to wash up and sleep.

On the other side, Gu Lian started his daily inspection and physical therapy after dinner.

A large part of the reason why he could stand up today was because of the stimulation from the outside world. The doctors took the test results and analyzed them bit by bit for Gu Lian. In the end, they concluded that he had to walk for ten to thirty minutes every day. If he could rest more, he had to rest more. Otherwise, it was easy for his joints to have problems.

After hearing this conclusion, Su Mei was unwilling to let Gu Lian bear the risk of his joints getting into trouble and continue to go to the company to deal with things. Anyway, his waking up was already a huge reassurance to the employees. Su Mei suggested that Gu Lian and Mo Yu move out together for a period of time. Not only could the young couple nurture their relationship, but they could also ensure that Gu Lian could recuperate and not be disturbed.

After Gu Lian woke up, there were guests visiting the Gu family’s villa every day. Su Mei also felt annoyed. Instead of letting her son be disturbed every day, it was better to let him rest in a quiet place to avoid being in a bad mood.
