Chapter 143 Let's save face for each other



The next morning, when Gu Yunzhen woke up, Shangguan Wu was still asleep.

He glanced at her sleeping face, and after a long while, he quietly got out of bed, sat in his wheelchair, and left the bedroom.

After washing up, Gu Yunzhen went to the study.

He contacted Gu Shisan.

Once the call connected, Gu Yunzhen instructed in a low voice, "Go and investigate the Shangguan Group and Shangguan Xiong."

Gu Shisan on the other end of the phone had a feeling of 'finally it'!

"I'm sorry, Fourth Young Master, I did investigate the Shangguan Group before."

"Send me the information."

Gu Yunzhen turned on the computer with a cool, clear voice.

Soon, I received an email from Gu Shisan.

As he checked his emails, he asked, "What did you find?"

Gu Shisan replied, "Shangguan Group has five projects that are only half-developed. Due to insufficient funds, they are robbing Peter to pay Paul. Some shareholders have opposed this suicidal self-rescue method, but Shangguan Xiong and other shareholders have suppressed it."

Gu Yunzhen casually asked him, "How long has this been going on?"

Gu Shisan replied on the phone: "The first project was three years ago, two more projects were developed last year, and there is only one project this year."

A group's project has been delayed for three years?

Either the decision-makers are incompetent, or there's a conspiracy!

Listening to these things alone, I don't think there's anything wrong with them.

However, considering the content of the email, there is a lot of room for maneuver!

After a long silence, Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Go check out Tiansong Entertainment."

Gu Shisan on the other end of the phone was startled and asked uncertainly, "Does the Fourth Young Mistress's company also need to be investigated?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem, I'll send someone to investigate right away."

Gu Yunzhen hung up the phone.

He pressed his temples and fell into deep thought.

Shangguan Xiong's intentions are easy to guess. From the moment he prevented Shangguan Wu from joining the group and gave her a small and run-down company, his true intentions were obvious.

This also explains why Master Shangguan would live in the capital city with his wife and children for an extended period.

Clearly, the old man had noticed something was wrong.

But he was powerless to change the situation.

The Shangguan Group was completely under the control of Shangguan Xiong.

Shangguan Wu's decision to suspend her studies to join the Shangguan Group is probably because she wants to take back the group. Whether it's her own idea or the old man's, she should be happy to take back the Shangguan Group, right?

In the bedroom.

When Shangguan Wu slowly woke up, she stared at the snow-white ceiling for a while.

She felt weak all over, as if her body had fallen apart.

The next second, she buried her face in the pillow, reached out and punched another pillow, taking her anger out on it.

That's outrageous!

I told him I was going to see my older sister today, but he just wouldn't let go!

Just as she was grinding her teeth in anger, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Gu Yunzhen wheeled herself in.

"You're awake? Get up and wash up. I've asked Uncle Zhang to bring lunch upstairs."

"I'm not hungry!"

She's so angry she's full, she doesn't need to eat!

However, Shangguan Wu's stomach started growling uncontrollably.

Fortunately, there was a blanket between them, so only she knew what had happened; otherwise, she would have been embarrassed.

Looking at the little woman pretending to be dead on the pillow, Gu Yunzhen said helplessly, "Do you need me to carry you out of bed?"

How should he hug him?

He couldn't even stand up.

Shangguan Wu turned to look at him, glaring angrily!

Knowing he was in the wrong, Gu Yunzhen slowly uttered a deep, magnetic voice: "Weren't you going to see your older sister? After you've eaten, I'll take you there."

Shangguan Wu glared at him fiercely for a while, then looked away and let out a soft snort.

"I'm telling you, if you act like you did last night, we're going to sleep in separate rooms!"

She didn't want to spend the whole day in bed!

Upon hearing the words "room allocation," a sharp glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's eyes.

"Get up."

He maneuvered his wheelchair out of the bedroom.

When Shangguan Wu heard the door close, she exclaimed "Eh!" and turned to look.

Is he angry?

She was speechless for a moment, her delicate eyebrows furrowing. Shouldn't she be the one who was angry?

He clearly did it on purpose last night!

He dug a pit for her, and she foolishly jumped in because she trusted him. The fact that she's still sore all over is proof of that!

Shangguan Wu got out of bed, held her breath, and took a relaxing bath to relieve the soreness.

As she went out, an enticing aroma wafted through the air, and her stomach immediately started growling again. She followed the scent to the living room.

There was a small dining table in the living room with ten dishes on it, all of which looked and smelled delicious. The broth, in particular, was so fragrant that it made your mouth water just by smelling it.

Hearing footsteps, Gu Yunzhen looked up and saw the dress she was wearing, her beautiful neck and collarbone exposed to the air. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Considering she was still angry, he didn't say anything, only saying, "Are you planning to stand there drooling forever?"

Well!

Shangguan Wu snapped out of her daze and hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, only to find that there was no saliva.

She glared at him: "You lied to me!"

Gu Yunzhen said casually, "Your eyes tell me you're about to drool."

"Nonsense!"

Shangguan Wu walked over and sat down opposite him, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Don't want to talk to him?

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow.

Considering she was starving, he didn't disturb her while she ate. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat slowly and deliberately.

After Shangguan Wu had eaten half his fill, he looked up at Gu Yunzhen.

It must be said, he is truly a sight to behold.

Gu Yunzhen noticed her gaze, looked up and met her eyes: "Are you full?"
