Cannon-Fodder Female Supporting Character Swaps Bodies with Her Cold Husband Chapter 7: Seating

Chapter 7: Seating

In the three years that Gu Lian had been unconscious, Father Gu had been taking care of the family business. Tonight, the Gu family was holding a banquet to discuss a business deal. It was also a small plot point in the book.
The original host had never participated in such an event. Coupled with the crowd's intentional ostracization, it formed a sharp contrast with the generous Mo Xue.
This also caused her mentality to become more and more twisted, and she abused Gu Lian even more severely.
Mo Yu was not worried about this situation. No matter how serious the mockery was, could it be as difficult to survive as the apocalypse?
Gu Lian's ward had a separate bathroom and washroom. Two sets of clothes were placed.
Although Mo Yu didn't mind wearing her current shorts and short sleeves to the banquet, after all, she had watched many television dramas in peacetime and knew that attending such a family banquet required a more formal gown.
There should be a sense of ritual when eating. Mo Yu took out a small black Chanel dress from the wardrobe and took it into the bathroom to wash up.
When Mo Yu tidied herself up, she couldn't help but sigh in the mirror. If she had this face in the world she used to live in, she would be able to do whatever she wanted!
After tidying up, Mo Yu was full of energy.
Her skin was tanned from years of working in the countryside. Her hair was dark and thick, and the waist of her little black dress was just right. Coupled with the diamond earrings and necklace that Mo Yu was originally wearing, she looked like a dazzling star.
After Mo Yu admired her beauty in the mirror, she took her bag and left. Before she left, she did not forget to say goodbye to Gu Lian, who was lying on the bed.
When Mo Yu arrived, there were already many people at the banquet. They were chatting in pairs and trios at the side, and no one noticed that she had already entered.
It was not until the table was served that everyone realized that Mo Yu was sitting in the main female guest's seat.
"Who are you? Do you think you can sit in this position?" Zhang Jing, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, said to Mo Yu unhappily.
There was a rule regarding the seats for the banquet. The male and female hosts sat at opposite ends of the long table. On their right were the main male and female guests, and on their left were the secondary guests, and so on.
In their eyes, Mo Yu was a wild girl who had just been found in the countryside, so she should be at the bottom.
Mo Yu lazily raised her eyelids and glanced at her. Before she could speak, Mo Xue helped her up.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhang. This is Little Yu's first time attending such a banquet, so she doesn't know the rules of seating in the circle. Little Yu, let's change seats and not sit here."
"Some people are ultimately inferior. It's fine if they don't know the etiquette on the table, but they even want to become the daughter-in-law of the Gu family in the future. It's embarrassing if word gets out!" An arrogant male voice sounded. Everyone looked over and saw someone sitting in the main male guest's seat.
Mo Yu recognized this person from his handlebar mustache. This person was the male protagonist's uncle, Gu Chen. He was a villain with a heart that was higher than the sky and a life that was thinner than paper. He wanted to replace Gu Lian and take over the Gu family.
"I'm afraid Uncle Gu's words are inappropriate." Mo Yu smiled and picked up her wine glass and swirled it.
"If people are divided into different levels, it means that your thoughts are still in a feudal society, or even a slave society. If I may ask, do you know what year it is now?" Mo Yu finished the red wine in her glass and gently placed it on the table. In the next second, she met Gu Chen's gaze.
"You were talking about table etiquette and seating according to status. Then I want to ask you, where are you sitting now?"
"Main male guest, I'm not as ignorant as you." Gu Chen smiled and raised his glass to Mo Yu from afar.
"The male and female hosts sit at the two ends of the dining table. If there's a eldest son in the family, he will sit in the seat of the main male guest. If there's younger sons, he will sit at the seat of the secondary male guest. If there are daughters, it will be the main female guest seat and secondary female guest seat. Now that the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Lian, is in the hospital, it should be his younger brother who sits in his seat. Now that you're sitting there, are you trying to usurp power?" Mo Yu stood up with a smile and looked at Gu Zi, who was standing awkwardly behind Gu Chen.
"Secondly, since the engagement is now between Gu Lian and I, then in terms of status, I am Gu Lian's fiancée. In terms of family background, I am the young lady of the Mo Family. Although the Mo Family is not as wealthy as the Gu Family and the Shen Family, it is not inferior to the Zhang Family. Logically speaking, I should sit in the position of the main female guest." Mo Yu changed the direction and looked at Zhang Jing, who was sitting unceremoniously in the main female guest's seat, with a smile.
"Miss Zhang, even if I'm not worthy of sitting in the main female guest's seat, it should be the daughter of the Shen family sitting there, not you."
