Chapter 14
Prank
Gu Lian smiled. She was indeed gullible.
After Mo Yu finished speaking, she reacted and hurriedly wanted to go back on her word, but it was too late.
Gu Lian was already very familiar with swapping bodies. He adjusted his sitting posture, and the sound of the stool interrupted Gu Chen, who was still talking.
Gu Chen was speaking animatedly when he was suddenly interrupted by a sharp sound. He looked in the direction of the noise unhappily and met Mo Yu’s mocking gaze.
It was this woman again!
Gu Chen rolled his eyes at her and continued, “The Gu family’s development is at its peak now, and all of these achievements wouldn’t have been possible without my brother’s and my hard work. Gu Lian has been in a coma for three years. Even if he wakes up today, he might not have the energy to manage the company. Moreover, three years is neither long nor short. It’s unknown if he can keep up with the changes in the times when he wakes up. Therefore, I suggest that the company follow my ideas first…”
“Bullsh*t! My brother is so powerful! He can definitely wake up! Not only can he wake up, but he can also manage the company better!” Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Zi. The young boy roared at Gu Chen like an angry leopard.
He knew that his brother’s condition was not good, but he still firmly believed that Gu Lian could wake up. Moreover, he hated this uncle for repeatedly saying that Gu Lian would not wake up.
“Little kid, whether your older brother can wake up or not is not up to us. It’s up to him.” Gu Chen was unhurried as he smiled at Gu Zi.
Gu Zi was so angry that his eyes turned red. However, he was still inexperienced and had a good upbringing. He did not know how to curse people, so he could only glare at Gu Chen.
“Little Zi, sit properly.” Gu Lian was a little surprised to see him like this.
He had never seen his brother so protective of him before. It seemed that he still had some weight in this kid’s heart.
However, in such an occasion, it was better not to let the little kid stand up, lest others gossip.
Gu Chen turned to Mo Yu and couldn’t help but mock, “Little girl, don’t interfere in the company’s matters since you’re from the countryside. Can you tell if the shares are rising or falling?”
Gu Lian sneered. Coincidentally, the fish prepared by the kitchen was also served on the table.
Gu Lian watched as the chef peeled off the fish bones and meat. He said softly, “Uncle, do you know how much the Gu family’s share price has fallen in the past three years?”
“What?” Gu Chen did not react for a moment and asked.
“Three years ago, Gu Lian got into a car accident and was hospitalized. That night, after the media reported it, the stock value fell by 8%. However, the family was well-off and it did not cause much damage in the end. The next year, the real estate development that Gu Lian had discussed before the accident was implemented. At the same time, the local government moved to that piece of land, and the Gu Corporation’s stock market began to rise to its limit. The real estate development was completed in the first half of this year, and three months ago, the Gu Corporation’s funds were restored.”
After the chef finished handling the fish, Gu Lian’s words reached the end.
‘Mo Yu’ looked at Gu Chen and asked, “You just said that these three years are the peak of the Gu family. Then I want to ask, what have you contributed to the Gu family in the past three years? Was it using public funds to give gifts to please the Shen family, or was it drinking and hanging out with bad friends for your so-called business?”
Gu Chen still wanted to speak, but Old Master Gu finally spoke. “Alright, let’s eat.”
After he finished speaking, he gave Mo Yu a meaningful glance.
This young lady was not simple.
“Hubby, what are you eating? Is it delicious? Give me a bite!” Mo Yu wanted to cry but had no tears. She could not eat anything now and could only hope that Gu Lian would bring her some.
“It’s time for dessert. It’s raspberry egg tart and vanilla ice cream. It’s delicious!” Gu Lian smiled as he ate the last mouthful of ice cream. He was in a good mood.
“Oh my, if only you could eat it. It’s really delicious. Sour and sweet,” he added.
Gu Zi looked at his sister-in-law and handed her his ice cream.
“Sister-in-law, eat. You were so cool just now! Your tone was exactly the same as my brother’s!” Gu Zi was like a little animal acting cute with its master. His eyes were sparkling as he praised ‘Mo Yu’. “Pray that my brother wakes up soon! He will definitely like you very much!”
Gu Lian, who had wanted to refuse, took the ice cream and ate it without hesitation after hearing his words.
He would like Mo Yu? Impossible!
