Reborn Girl's New Life Chapter 684 - Gu Changle's Scheme Was Laid Bare

Chapter 684 Gu Changle’s Scheme Was Laid Bare

It was not the first time that Gu Changle asked to enter the Shao enterprise after the recovery.

And it was also not the first time that Shao Tianze agreed to Gu Changle’s request.

After leaving the hospital, he pondered over her request. Then he sighed and headed for home.

He hadn’t taken good care of Miaomiao for several days because of Gu Changle’s operation.

When arriving home, he saw that Miaomiao was on the phone.

Shao Tianze frowned, asking Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, who are you phoning?”

The sudden question made Miaomiao jump. Then she hastily put the phone down.

Shao Tianze knitted his brows, walking over to Miaomiao.

Miaomiao touched the hairpin on her head, helplessly telling the truth, “I want to speak to my elder brother.”

Shao Tianze’s frown deepened when he heard that. He didn’t want his daughter and son to have frequent contact.

But it didn’t matter because Miaomiao could not get through to Gu Yi even if she wanted to call him.

He had ordered his men in Harbor City to supervise Gu Yi’s phone.

Without his permission, no calls could get through.

Shao Tianze lifted Miaomiao, asking, “Did it get through?”

Miaomiao shook her head, answering, “No.”

“You miss him?”

“Yes.” Miaomiao replied in injured tones, nodding, “I used to see my elder brother every day, but now I can’t see him. I feel so sad.”

Shao Tianze coaxed his daughter gently, “Though you can’t see your elder brother, you can see me, right?”

Miaomiao looked at Shao Tianze, nodding, “But…”

“But what?”

Shao Tianze pressed her.

Miaomiao replied, “But you are different. I want to see my elder brother and I also want to see you. Can’t you bring my elder brother back from Harbor City?”

Miaomiao was trying everything she could to persuade his dad to bring Gu Yi back from Harbor City.

But as an adult, how could Shao Tianze change his mature decision just because his daughter was begging him?

Shao Tianze explained to Miaomiao patiently, “Haven’t I told you the reason? I sent your elder brother to Harbor City in order to give him a good education. In the future, I will let him be in charge of the whole Shao Family. If he is not competent, he will be out of work and you will marry someone poor and work hard every day.”

Miaomiao didn’t understand all Shao Tianze’s words, but she replied when she heard that she might marry someone poor and work hard every day, “Just like my mommy, I will marry a good man like you.”

Hearing that, Shao Tianze lowered his eyes. Then there was a glint of look that Miaomiao couldn’t capture in Shao Tianze’s eyes.

A good person like him?

Was he a good person?

He was the one who murdered Gu Changge, Miaomiao’s mother.

Though Gu Changge was his wife, he had never had mercy on her. How could he be called a good person?

Shao Tianze stroked Miaomiao’s head, asking her, “Have you had lunch?”

Shao Tianze suddenly changed the topic.

Miaomiao was distracted by the topic, answering him naively, “Not yet.”

“Then have lunch with me.”

Miaomiao nodded. Then something suddenly popped into her mind. She asked Shao Tianze, “Has aunt recovered?”

Shao Tianze realized that Miaomiao was asking about Gu Changle, so he replied, “She’ll be out of the hospital soon.”

“That’s great.”

Then Miaomiao continued, “Let Aunt Shao Xue have lunch with us. She’s reading in the room.”

“OK.”

Shao Tianze let a family servant ask Shao Xue to come out for lunch.

Hearing that Shao Tianze returned, Shao Xue walked out of her room.

Though Shao Xue had known that Gu Changle’s operation was a success, she still asked about Gu Changle, “How is Changle?”

“Her operation was a success, and she recovered very quickly. But as I have to take care of her these days, I don’t have too much time for Miaomiao. Please look after Miaomiao for me at home.”

“Okay, brother. I’ll take good care of Miaomiao.”

Though Shao Xue had almost recovered, she did not return to the Shao enterprise to work because Miaomiao and Gu Yi had been separated.

After all, her position in the Shao enterprise existed in name only. It was better to stay at home to take care of Miaomiao than to go to work.

Gu Changle’s operation was over. Now she could live on for decades like a normal person. A vicious woman like her could continue hurting others.

It was hard to say whether Gu Changle would make her move on Miaomiao.

Shao Xue didn’t talk much during lunch, but everything she said was about Gu Changle.

Shao Tianze didn’t hide Gu Changle’s condition from Shao Xue. He told her everything about Gu Changle.

At the end of the lunch, Shao Xue could almost understand how Gu Changle was at the moment.

After lunch, Shao Tianze took Miaomiao out for a walk.

Shao Xue pondered for a while in the room and then sent Song Yunxuan an email.

Song Yunxuan replied very soon. She finished reading the mail in minutes and emailed back.

Then she made an appointment with Shao Xue.

Shao Xue agreed.

The appointed time was in early December. It snowed heavily on that day.

When Shao Xue arrived there by car, she saw that the staff of the coffee shop were busy clearing the snow.

After entering the door, Shao Xue was invited to a private room upstairs when mentioning the name Song Yunxuan.

Seeing Shao Xue, Song Yunxuan smiled, greeting, “Hi, Shao Xue.”

Shao Xue nodded and then sat opposite Song Yunxuan, feeling somewhat surprised, “You’ve lost so much weight. What troubled you these days?”

“It’s the ninth week. The pregnancy reaction is getting more and more serious. I can hardly eat anything and always throw up, so I’ve lost some weight.”

Shao Xue felt sorry for her, “So did you see the doctor?”

“Yes. I’ll be better in a few weeks, and now there’s nothing serious.”

Though Song Yunxuan appeared to be calm, Shao Xue had a feeling that Song Yunxuan was becoming weaker and weaker during pregnancy.

It would have been great if Childe Chu had been with Yunxuan now.

But Childe Chu died so tragically.

Shao Xue felt sorry for Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan had no idea what was in Shao Xue’s mind now. She just asked her, “Are all the things you mentioned in the mail true?”

“Yes, it was all that Shao Tianze told me during lunch the other day. Besides, it seemed that he didn’t want Gu Changle to enter the Shao enterprise and complained to me about her.”

“He seldom complains about Gu Changle.” Song Yunxuan replied with a smile.

Shao Xue nodded repeatedly, replying, “Yeah. Shao Tianze spoils Gu Changle and almost meets every one of her needs. I’m also wondering why he got unhappy when Gu Changle wanted to enter the Shao enterprise.”

Song Yunxuan thought of the time when Gu Changge was in Gu’s, sneering, “I’m afraid he just doesn’t want the woman around him to stand out.”

Shao Xue felt confused about Song Yunxuan’s words, asking, “What do you mean?”

“He doesn’t really like strong women.”

Song Yunxuan drew the conclusion from Shao Xue’s words and Shao Tianze’s att.i.tude towards her when she was Gu Changge.

“He doesn’t like strong women?” Shao Xue frowned, saying, “But if so, why did he go out with Gu Changge?”

“Because Gu Changge could give him something that he could never get by himself.”

Shao Xue suddenly saw the light.

Song Yunxuan was right about that.

Shao Tianze didn’t like Gu Changge at all. He just took advantage of her.

“So will Shao Tianze turn against Gu Changle if she insists on entering the Shao enterprise?”

“That’s impossible.” Song Yunxuan leaned back on the sofa in the coffee shop, continuing, “He has feelings for Gu Changle. Nevertheless, he won’t let her take an important position in the Shao enterprise. He hates women fighting for power.”

He had surely taken warning from Gu Changge.

But Gu Changle still wanted to take Gu Changge’s old path. Was she overconfident about Shao Tianze’s love for her?

“Yunxuan, I don’t think Gu Changle is a woman who gives up easily. She has told Shao Tianze that she wanted to enter the Shao enterprise many times, but he turned her down every time she brought it up. Now she brought it up again soon after her operation. Gu Changle is really persistent.”

“Gu Changle is excel at both acting girly and scheming. Though Shao Tianze is trying everything he can to stop her from entering the Shao enterprise and keep her away from the power fighting, Gu Changle has not given up. She chose a devious route and kept moving forward. Shao Tianze can’t keep turning her down. I think he will agree with her this time.”

“But if Shao Tianze agrees with her, won’t she become greedier?”

“Now it appears that she wants to be the second Gu Changge and monopolize the Shao enterprise.”

Song Yunxuan smiled sarcastically.

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Shao Xue replied, “Judging from Shao Tianze’s words, Gu Changle does have the ambition.”

“Gu Changle?”

Song Yunxuan sneered.

The sneer was full of disdain for Gu Changle.

Gu Changle was manipulative and used to hide in the dark. She always pretended to be delicate.

So Song Yunxuan did not guard against her or take her as an enemy while she was Gu Changge.

But out of her expectation, Gu Changle actually combined with Shao Tianze against her.

She combined with Shao Tianze to set Gu Changge up.

Under Gu Changle’s weak appearance, she was very ambitious.

But being ambitious was not enough, she was not competent to be in charge of the Shao enterprise at all.

Though Gu Changle appeared to be crafty when scheming against Gu Changge, being crafty was not enough for one to establish himself in the business world.

There were a lot of things that Gu Changle didn’t know and couldn’t get hold of.

If Gu Changle just dreamed about being the next Gu Changge, she could never make it.
