Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 476: Disgraceful

[Gu Mansion]

Everyone in the world longs to visit Gu Mansion at least once, either to be accompanied by the Taoist Ancestor or to receive his enlightenment and achieve Ascension.

Following the Taoist Ancestor’s half-month retreat with the disciples of the Array Master Guild "Speaking Tao," this longing reached new heights.

This conference gave birth to more than a hundred Late-stage Core Formation Array Masters and four Ascended Nascent Souls!

Who wouldn’t want to be one of them?

However, for the Gu Family and Lin Family, being called to Gu Mansion was often undesirable.

Most of the time, you were summoned because you had made a mistake and were about to be reprimanded!

Xu Dong was feeling anxious and uneasy.

As he passed the guard, he asked, "Is my brother-in-law at home?"

If Gu Feng was there, he could at least plead on his behalf; although his sister was fierce, only her husband could calm her down.

The guard shook his head.

Xu Dong thought it was over; now there was no one to turn to for help.

Even though it was late at night, cultivators no longer paid attention to the difference in time; Lin Yue was watering her flowers and those medicinal materials in her own backyard.

Gu Feng had a piece of farmland here that could nourish any high-tier medicinal materials, and Lin Yue liked to garden.

The medicinal materials her mother-in-law, Yu Ling, had given to Erin were picked from here.

Xu Dong walked into the backyard and, seeing his elder sister Lin Yue’s silhouette, he shivered.

This woman possessed the world’s most beautiful face, and in the eyes of the world, she had an extraordinary and transcendent demeanor.

But only the Lin Family knew that Lin Yue was always strict with her own family.

And she reserved her gentleness only for her husband!

Thump.

Without going any closer, Xu Dong, recognizing the situation, bypassed all other formalities and directly knelt down.

His voice trembled, "Elder sister..."

Lin Yue still had her back to him, busy watering the flowers, and said, "Feeling wronged?"

Woo woo woo.

Xu Dong was about to cry.

He was so scared he didn’t know how to reply; he looked at Lin Yu, who had been called over, his eyes pleading for help.

But Lin Yu’s head was so low it seemed it could touch his chest, blind to eyes and deaf to ears!

Xu Dong stuttered, "No, not at all, I wouldn’t dare!"

Lin Yue said, "Get up."

Xu Dong, with his head lowered, replied, "I’d rather stay kneeling."

Lin Yue slowly turned her head, her cold, noble gaze sweeping over, frightening Xu Dong so much that he immediately stood up.

Lin Yu squinted slightly and did not forget to enjoy the drama from the sidelines; when that gaze swept over, he fortunately closed his eyes completely, not daring to meet her gaze directly!

"You tell me what complaint I might hold against you, yet it seems like you have a grievance against me?" Lin Yue’s light statement almost scared the soul out of Xu Dong.

"Elder sister, I didn’t mean that at all. I wouldn’t dare harbor any grievance against you."

Lin Yue snorted lightly, "Your brother-in-law manages myriad affairs daily, how could he possibly find time to attend to Alchemy matters? The affairs of the Lin Family have always been managed by me, not just you, even my mother’s Nascent Soul Pill has to wait for me to slowly cultivate the medicinal materials before being processed, even Qin at home and other members from the sect have reached the Nascent Soul Stage using Secret Techniques, none have received a Nascent Soul Pill yet."

"If you think I’m not competent enough as your elder sister and haven’t taken care of everyone, then how about you manage the Lin Family? It would also spare me so I can attend to other administrative affairs within the Dragon Country."

Dragon Country Group has been providing these benefits, from the province to the Elders.

The Pill Association here operates independently and has no obligation to manage these matters.

It has always been Lin Yue funding the medicinal materials, then outsourcing Alchemy work to the Pill Association, thereafter providing benefits to the high-tier management of the group to maintain the Gu Family’s industrial chain.

Gu Feng had long since washed his hands of such matters.

Lin Yue had always been the one managing everything.

As the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family, she certainly had to prioritize her husband’s family business.

Of course, this might mean putting her own family’s affairs on hold.

She also wanted to hand over these responsibilities of maintaining the Dragon Country Group to other members of the Gu Family.

But Jinnian and Qingxue were still young.

Gu Yuan or Gu Yi, when facing domestic cultivation families, lacked the power to command respect.

Therefore, it still had to be Lin Yue, who was at the Divinity Transformation Stage, taking charge.

This was also why the high ranks within the country feared Lin Yue more than they feared Gu Feng.

After all, the Taoist Ancestor really couldn’t be bothered with worldly trivialities.

Xu Dong instantly knelt down again, "Big sister, I know I was wrong."

Lin Yue said nothing, waving her hand to signal that he could leave.

There was no need for more words. Merely summoning Xu Dong to speak was warning enough.

Xu Dong left, and Lin Yu, who had been standing like a wooden statue not daring to utter a word, only wanted to leave with Xu Dong.

Lin Yue: "Little Yu, stay behind."

Lin Yu’s body, facing away from Lin Yue, froze, his face showing a mask of pain.

At that moment, he looked to Xu Dong desperately.

"Cough, cough." He even coughed to remind him.

We agreed to come together, aren’t you supposed to wait for me?

But Xu Dong, drenched in a cold sweat, just wanted to flee as quickly as possible, pretending not to hear the cough from behind.

Luckily, Lin Yue only said, "You might as well report to Shanzhong City to prepare to take over Gao Qi’s duties. If you don’t understand something, you can ask him for advice."

When Xu Dong returned home, his wife Lin Qin was holding their son and staring intently at him from the sofa.

Xu Dong, his face red with embarrassment, reached out to hold his son.

"What a disgrace!" Lin Qin huffed, then handed him the child: "You think I don’t know what you’re thinking?"

Lin Qin crossed her arms and gave him a disdainful look, "Even if you’re useless and even if my power surpasses yours in the future, I won’t leave you. Why worry needlessly all the time? If I really wanted to marry for money, I could have found someone better than you. What gain was there for me in marrying you?"

Xu Dong felt incredibly guilty.

Actually, his wife understood him the best.

He indeed felt a sense of crisis.

Even though he was a powerful tycoon in the secular world.

But his wife, being a big sister in the state-run enterprises, along with Ascension Nascent Soul, was also an Elder of the world’s number one sect.

These titles made Xu Dong feel gradually unworthy of his wife, somewhat fearing he might not keep this family stable.

Thus, he was eager for approval from the Lin Family to keep his wife by his side.

He knew that as long as the Lin Family was pleased with him as their son-in-law, Lin Qin wouldn’t dare leave him.

Especially big sister Lin Yue; even when their uncle had complaints against Pei Li, he wouldn’t dare abandon her as his daughter-in-law.

Xu Dong didn’t actually have anything against Lin Yue, he just feared that she might overlook him and thus reduce his influence within the Lin Family circle, losing his bargaining chip to maintain his relationship with his wife.

Having been summoned by Lin Yue tonight, he felt somewhat relieved.

But such matters, Lin Qin found too embarrassing.

Xu Dong’s lack of confidence might make the other senior family members think Lin Qin wasn’t treating Xu Dong well.

Even the aunt and the second aunt came to ask Lin Qin if she had someone else outside.

This nearly made Lin Qin vomit blood.
