Chapter 3

Everyone’s Faces

“Mo Xue, aren’t you anxious? If Gu Lian really wakes up, won’t that country bumpkin benefit?” The young lady of the Li family nudged Mo Xue gently with her shoulder.

She looked at Mo Xue’s calm and composed appearance from the beginning and could not help but find it strange.

“If it weren’t for the mistake back then, she wouldn’t have suffered for more than 20 years. Now, she’s only getting what she deserves. Why should I be anxious?” Mo Xue had a faint smile on her face as she looked at the door of the ward. “Besides, I’ve found my biological parents. I also hope that Little Yu can live a happy life like me.”

When the people waiting at the door heard her say this, they kept praising her for being beautiful and kind. As expected of the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

What everyone didn’t know was that not long ago, Mo Xue met a person who looked almost identical to her. She told her that after she was found by a wealthy family, she would be showered with thousands of favors, and Mo Yu would abuse Gu Lian out of jealousy. Moreover, it wouldn’t be long before Gu Lian woke up. The first thing he would do was take revenge on Mo Yu.

At first, Mo Xue did not believe in these things, but as she was found by her biological parents and accidentally saw Mo Yu stabbing the unconscious Gu Lian with a needle, she gradually began to believe that person.

As long as she developed according to what that person said, when Gu Lian woke up, she would treat him well and help him rise. Then, she would definitely be able to enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of her life!

Mo Xue was still thinking when the door of the ward opened.

Seeing that Mo Yu had fallen asleep, Gu Lian directly used her body to leave the ward.

When the people waiting outside the door saw ‘Mo Yu’ coming out, they wanted to mock her, but when they saw that face, they could not help but keep quiet.

A wild ice beauty!

The Mo family’s genes were really good. Mrs. Mo was voted as Miss World’s champion at the age of 16, so her foundation was naturally good. Mr. Mo also had sharp eyebrows and big eyes, having a slightly European bone structure.

Mo Yu had inherited the advantages of her parents’ looks. She had sharp eyebrows, phoenix-like eyes, and a high nose bridge. Coupled with the fact that Gu Lian was in a very bad mood now, his entire body emitted an aura that kept people away. Coupled with Mo Yu’s appearance, he looked like a snow leopard that looked down on all living beings in the Himalayas, carrying sharp killing intent.

A few timid ladies had already secretly lowered their heads and shrunk into the crowd.

Mo Xue looked at ‘Mo Yu’ who came out of the ward and was slightly stunned.

Why did it feel like Mo Yu was a different person? She was clearly like a quail when she first arrived home. She was timid and did not know anything. How did she become so strong now?

Gu Lian looked at the people in front of him and frowned impatiently.

“Excuse me, please move.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people were like water droplets that had been thrown into a pot of oil, instantly causing an uproar.

“Yo, yo, yo. You haven’t even married into a rich family yet and you’re starting to have an imposing manner.”

“What? Move? Who are you talking to?”

…

Gu Lian sized up the surrounding crowd and suddenly felt that everything was unfamiliar.

In the past, wherever he went, he would always be fawned over by everyone.

He had seen too many people fawning over him. Coupled with his height advantage, he always looked down at the crowd.

But now, those fawning smiles had turned into mocking or disdainful looks. He could only look at these people at eye level. Some of them were even tall and wore high heels. He had to raise his head slightly to see them clearly.

It turned out that these people’s elegance and dignity in front of him were all fake?

Seeing that everyone was almost done arguing, Mo Xue stopped them at the right time. “Everyone, don’t say that. Perhaps Little Yu isn’t used to crowded environments. After all, there are little people in the remote villages. We have to take care of her.”

Gu Lian scoffed in disdain.

What a hypocrite! On the surface, she seemed to be defending Mo Yu, but in reality, she was mocking Mo Yu for not having seen the world.

Then, Mo Xue stepped forward amidst the praises of the surrounding people and held Mo Yu’s hand. “Little Yu, don’t be afraid. They don’t have any ill intentions. Let’s go for lunch together. I’ll bring you on a tour of the Gu residence in the afternoon.”

Walking in the familiar environment, Gu Lian released a long breath.

He had been in a coma for three whole years. It seemed that his family had been well taken care of. At least there were no major financial mistakes.
