Chapter 222: Chapter 223: Has Mr. Gu’s Brain Gone Haywire?

Translator: 549690339

Whenever Gu Qichen was mentioned, Xia Yangyang’s eyes became dull.

Wen Xiaochu asked, “Why did you guys argue, was there any sort of misunderstanding?”

With a belly full of grievances, Xia Yangyang poured out her thoughts.

After hearing Xia Yangyang’s account, Wen Xiaochu found it hard to believe: “He actually suspected you and Gu Zhaohan, this is too far-fetched. Has Mr. Gu’s valuable brain gone haywire?”

After speaking her mind, Xia Yangyang felt a lot better.

But she was like a deflated ball, collapsing on the sofa, not wanting to move a bit: “Men, not a single good one.”

Wen Xiaochu reciprocated, “Men are all jerks.”

“Yes, all jerks.”

Mu Liancheng, who had just changed his clothes, passed by the guest room door.

The door of the guest room was slightly ajar and he overheard their conversation.

A smile hung on the corner of his mouth, almost bursting into laughter.

Then he swung the car key in his hand and went directly down to the garage.

The Shengyuan Group’s office on the 99th floor.

As soon as Mu Liancheng opened the door, he saw Gu Qichen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, appearing forlorn.

Mu Liancheng walked over and sat down directly in Gu Qjchen’s office chair. He tossed the car key onto the office table, turned the chair around, and with a sigh, said, “Indeed, it’s not easy being the emperor. So busy with public affairs, still reviewing reports in the middle of the night. It’s better to be like me, a carefree king, at ease.”

It was only then that Gu Qichen turned his head around. He glanced at Mu Liancheng, and said flatly, “I see your good days coming to an end. I heard that your brother has made it big in the Mu family. Can the old lady bear to see it? Just wait, you’ll soon be summoned to take up a post in the Mu family.”

Although the Mu family had few descendants, it actually had complex connections.

The old lady of the Mu family lost her husband in her early years and single­handedly maintained the vast Mu family business.

She only had one son, named Mu Huaijin.

But this son, when he was young, insisted on marrying a divorced young woman named He Yun, who had a child.

He argued with the old lady for a long time and finally married He Yun.

That child was also brought over and adopted, following Mu Huaijin’s surname to become Mu Lianjue.

He was Mu Liancheng’s half-brother from the same mother and a different father, but he had no blood relationship with the Mu family and was five years older than Mu Liancheng.

The relationship between Mu Liancheng and Mu Lianjue was not very good, and the old lady didn’t particularly like that “grandson”.

However, after the Mu family suffered a tragedy, Mu Huaijin and his wife died in a plane crash, and the old lady was deeply affected.

With no other choice, she let Mu Lianjue handle company matters and started to train him.

At that time, Mu Liancheng was young, and the old lady also had limited energy.

The old lady’s original intention was to have a handy tool for Mu Liancheng, but unexpectedly, within a few short years of Mu Lianjue joining the company, he had gained significant influence and even formed his own faction.

This started to awaken the old lady’s vigilance.

Even if he was considered half a member of the Mu family, the old lady wouldn’t let the vast Mu family business fall into the hands of someone with no blood ties to the Mu family.

So these days, the old lady has been urging him to take up a post in the company.

Mu Liancheng was terribly annoyed.

With Gu Qjchen’s accurate remark, Mu Liancheng became sullen: “Actually, I think it’s pretty good to leave the company to him. He’s the one who has to work hard and he’s willing to. I just want my shares and the yearly dividends. I live a comfortable life. The old lady just doesn’t like seeing this. She forced me to get married back then and now she’s forcing me to take over the business. She has no idea about my dreams.”

“And what are your dreams?”

“To be a complete loaf.”
