After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

Chapter 16: Pulling Lu Jinsen Along

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[If I’m not wrong, Sister Meng is starting to slack again.]

[As expected, Sister Meng is still that Sister Meng.]

[For a moment, I felt that she had changed and was about to work. In the end… I admit that I was overthinking.]

[Catering Field: I thought you were going to fawn over me, but you were just passing by.]

[Ahhh, I was deceived by her. I actually thought that she really wanted to work!!]

Lu Jinsen walked to the vegetable field with a hoe. He did not expect to see Meng Chuyuan sitting under the shade of a tree when he looked up.

His expression darkened, and his gloomy eyes were filled with disdain.

After he retracted his gaze from Meng Chuyuan, the scorching sun shone on his head as he waved the hoe to loosen the soil.

Lu Jinsen: With a hoe in hand, I can only accept my fate.

It had not rained in the village for a few days. The ground was as hard as a rock. If insufficient strength was exerted, the hoe would not be of any use.

Everyone had participated in the jujube collection this morning. Although they had taken a nap, now that they had another physical task, they felt that their hands were no longer theirs.

Qi Zhen and his sister cooperated very well. Although there was only one hoe in each group, they knew how to take turns. Their progress was also faster than the other groups.

On the other hand, Lu Jinsen and Liao Jiake could only work hard on their own.

Lu Jinsen was relatively better. His arms were strong, and he only needed to swing the hoe once to pry open the soil. On the other hand, Liao Jiake was weak and had to swing it a few times to see the soil loosen.

Although Liao Jiake was the first to get off the ground, she was obviously behind in this mission.

When the fans in the live-stream saw Liao Jiake opening a piece of wasteland alone, so tired that she was sweating profusely. They all commented in the comments section:

[Ke Ke baby, why don’t we take a break? This variety show is really too much of a bully. Boohoo.]

[I just went to the live-stream room next door and saw that woman surnamed Meng sitting under the shade of a tree. Then, I saw our Ke Ke working so hard. I’m really angry and feel that it’s not worth it for Ke Ke.]

[You can’t blame the production team for bullying her, right? After all, this variety show is called Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat. I think the director’s actions are completely reasonable. As for whether to do the mission or not and how to do it? It’s up to her.]

[She really has no complaints and is working hard.]

[I really love Ke Ke, who doesn’t put on airs. I knew I wasn’t a fan of the wrong person.]

[Wuwuwu, if there’s really no other choice, let’s leave the recording. I don’t want to see you suffer.]

Lu Jinsen stayed in the field for about five minutes before he stopped to rest.

He placed the hoe on the ground and could not help but reach out to lift the hem of his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face. When he looked up, Meng Chuyuan’s figure inadvertently flashed across his eyes.

Seeing that she was sitting there doing nothing and even picking up the fallen leaves to play, a trace of anger appeared on Lu Jinsen’s gloomy face.

Lu Jinsen retracted his hand and walked towards Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan sat on the spot without moving, but she had picked up all the fallen leaves around her and was breaking them to play.

Suddenly, a faint shadow loomed over her. A cold voice sounded in her ear. “Are you done playing?”

“No, this is nothing.” Meng Chuyuan did not raise her head, but from the voice, she knew that it was Lu Jinsen.

Lu Jinsen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out. In the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

After Meng Chuyuan finished folding the leaf in her hand, she looked up at Lu Jinsen.

The corners of Meng Chuyuan’s lips curled up slightly, revealing an elusive smile. “You want to persuade me to work?”

When Lu Jinsen heard this, his eyes turned cold and his eyes were filled with displeasure. “Don’t tell me you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor?”

He was really too busy alone. Moreover, seeing Meng Chuyuan sitting there and not doing anything, he felt annoyed.

This was clearly a group mission. Why did he have to complete it alone?

Meng Chuyuan knew that he was resentful now, but she could still face Lu Jinsen calmly. “Come here. Let’s talk for a while.”

She beckoned Lu Jinsen over, stood up, and walked behind the tree trunk.

Lu Jinsen hesitated for a moment before walking over, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

The cameraman who was following them carried the camera and was about to approach them when Meng Chuyuan turned around and made a gesture to stop him from going forward.

The cameraman quickly stopped and stood rooted to the ground.

[What are you whispering about? What’s there to be so secretive about?]

[Why don’t you let him film it? Why are you being so mysterious?]

[Help! Sister Meng’s gesture just now was so cool. I love it directly.]

[I’ve never seen such an obedient side of Young Master. Sister Meng is really capable. Young Master is on call now, hahahaha.]

[Can the cameraman go around the back and secretly film them? I really want to know what they are talking about.]

Lu Jinsen did not expect that she would not let the cameraman follow her after she had called him over.

He came back to his senses and looked at Meng Chuyuan in confusion. “About what?”

Meng Chuyuan glanced at him, then raised his chin, indicating for him to look ahead.

Lu Jinsen looked in the direction she was pointing. However, he looked confused and frowned slightly, as if he did not understand what Meng Chuyuan meant.

“Do you see that?” Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and asked.

Lu Jinsen was curious. “What do you want me to see?”

“Liao Jiake.”

“…”

Lu Jinsen looked up again when he heard that. This time, his gaze was fixed on Liao Jiake.

After a while, he silently retracted his gaze and asked coldly, “I saw it. What happened next?”

Meng Chuyuan raised her head and looked at him meaningfully. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Seeing her situation, do you still have the cheek to win?”

Lu Jinsen: “…”

He only wanted to finish the mission quickly and then disband. He did not think too much about it.

However, now that Meng Chuyuan mentioned it, Lu Jinsen felt a little moved. He even began to reflect on himself. Should he be more gentlemanly in this situation?

Before Lu Jinsen could voice his thoughts, Meng Chuyuan reached out and patted his shoulder gently. She said softly, “You have to rest well when it’s time to rest.”

Lu Jinsen replied without changing his expression, “Got it.”

After their conversation ended, Lu Jinsen was the first to turn around. He walked to a large rock at the side and sat down.

After a while, Meng Chuyuan returned to her seat and continued playing with the leaves she had picked up.

[What’s the situation now?]

[What exactly did Sister Meng say to Lu Jinsen? Why did he start slacking too??]

[What happened… Young Master was instigated to rebel? Wasn’t he persuading Sister-in-law to work just now? Why is he slacking too?]

[I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because I’m too tired from living. It’s really satisfying to see the two of them slacking.]

[+1, this team of slackers is already my source of happiness, hahaha]

[I feel like when the two of them are together, even if there were to be five words floating in the sky, that wouldn’t even be a problem for them. Hahahahaha.]
