Gong Xin finished speaking but still felt a chill down her spine. She glanced over and met a pair of gloomy eyes. Unwilling to linger, she quickly looked away.

That seemed to be the eldest boy from the Su family. He had greeted them when he entered just now.

Why was he staring like that? Gong Xin felt a sense of terror in a child’s expression for the first time.

She found it too stifling. If the Su family’s kids were like this, it indicated the father was even more difficult to deal with.

No wonder even a greedy person like Lin Miao would give up the rich life here and go to live in a shabby house in the city. Life might not be so good even with all the money!

Gu Zi didn’t know what she was thinking, but she was clear that she felt nothing for Gong Zhan, the original host’s first love.

As for Su Shen, she initially had a superficial interest, but now, she might genuinely be in love.

“Nonsense. I think he’s great, just the type I like right now,” said Gu Zi.

Gong Xin, still reluctant, asked, “Can you really let go of my brother, even if he likes you?”

Gu Zi bluntly responded, “Of course. Whatever happened between Gong Zhan and I are in the past. People need to focus on the present. Their father is the present that I need to focus on.”

As she spoke, she looked at Su Le’s doting face. Gu Zi knew these people here wouldn’t understand the joy of being a mom without having to go through childbirth.

The two brothers doing homework behind them felt relieved after hearing this conversation.

Su Li looked at Gong Xin unhappily. He didn’t understand why this bad auntie wanted to snatch their mother away from them. This was the good mother they had waited so long for.

Su Bing’s face remained grim. That woman actually said their dad wasn’t a match for their mom and called him an old man! Apparently, not all city women had good taste as their mom did.

Gong Xin was a little disappointed. It seemed that there was no hope of Gu Zi being her sister-in-law.

She reckoned Gu Zi might have been dazzled by the old man’s wealth! But indeed, a wealthy man was a good condition.

She wasn’t one to deceive herself. Since the other party had made her intentions clear, she wouldn’t insist.

“Well, since you’ve made up your mind, I can only say the old man is lucky,” she said.

That idiot Gong Zhan was still there admiring himself. Gu Zi’s thoughts were no longer focused on him, and it served him right.

Gu Zi breathed a sigh of relief when Gong Xin finally stopped urging her to be her sister-in-law. She elegantly started savoring her grass jelly dessert.

She noticed the bag next to Gong Xin and Gong Xin also noticed her gaze. So, she generously took out the bag and placed it on the table.

“This is a little snack I brought for your kids. I’m not trying to please you, but to thank you for selling me the job,” Gong Xin stated.

Gu Zi knew she had always been a bit of a spoiled child, so she said, “Then I’ll thank Aunt Gong Xin on behalf of the kids.”

Gong Xin, a little pouty, said, “Why call me ‘Aunt’? It should be ‘Big Sister’! Oh, and I have something to tell you: you shouldn’t have contact with the Gu family and other people from our Gong family for the foreseeable future, and it’s better not to return to the quad.”

Gong Xin’s tone became serious as she spoke. She had overheard the conversation between her parents and the Gu couple last night. Now, they all thought that Gu Zi was behind it and that Gu Zi was causing trouble behind the scenes, making things difficult for both families.

After accepting the snacks and putting them aside, Gu Zi asked, ‘What’s going

Yesterday, when they were selecting wedding dresses, Lin Miao and Gong Zhan also tagged along. For some reason, those two seemed to have had an unpleasant altercation.

It seemed Gong Zhan left early without selecting the wedding dress. Gu Zi wondered if they would once again blame her for these matters.

Thinking this, she listened as Gong Xin explained the situation, confirming her suspicions.

She felt that Lin Miao was very strange. It seemed that Lin Miao was always in a hurry to target her.

Having been targeted several times, she seemed to understand Lin Miao’s mindset, but she couldn’t figure out what she had done to offend her. Was it because their identities had been swapped, and Lin Miao felt she had stolen her luxurious life?

Lin Miao was a very vain person, so that might be the case.

Gong Xin continued, “Lin Miao said it was you who incited your brother to ruin her reputation. She thinks you hold a grudge and are intent on ruining her relationship with my brother. As a result, my brother left her behind on the day of the wedding dress selection. I think they’re going to settle the score with you. You should be cautious.” Gong Xin didn’t trust Lin Miao at all..
