Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 43: Stay In The Countryside Forever

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Shan clenched his lips, his dissatisfaction with Gu Zi deepening.

It was becoming increasingly apparent that Gu Zits departure was a calculated move to make them feel indebted and guilty while she continued to undermine their daughter behind their backs. When had Gu Zi become so vindictive and hostile?

The family could not allow Gu Zi to remain in the city. They wished for her to stay in the countryside for the rest of her life.

Just as Gu Shan was pondering this, a knock echoed at the door.

Zhang Mei rose to answer it, and when she saw Gu Zi standing outside, her eyes filled with frost.

Gu Shan cast a venomous look at Gu Zi, wishing he could annihilate her with his glare.

Lin Miao’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. She knew Gu Zi would require the household register to sell her job, and she had returned early to complain to Gu Shan and Zhang Mei. That way, Gu Zi wouldn’t be able to access the register.

As long as Gu Zi could not get the household register, that job would be hers.

Even if she didn’t want the job in the future, she could trade it for benefits.

But what Lin Miao didn’t anticipate was that Gong Xin was accompanying Gu

Logically, Gu Zi and Gong Xin were like oil and water, despising each other and avoiding each other’s company.

Had they both lost their minds?

Upon seeing Gong Xin, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei concealed their anger. Gong Xin was Gong Zhan’s biological sister, and Gong Zhan was the leader’s son and their daughter’s fiancé. They needed to present their best selves in front of their prospective in-laws.

If Gong Zhan grew dissatisfied with Lin Miao and their engagement fell apart, their family’s prospects would diminish considerably.

“Xin Xin is here! Come inside quickly!” Gu Shan greeted Gong Xin with an affectionate smile.

Everyone in the courtyard knew that Gong Xin, not Gong Zhan, was the most favored person in the Gong family.

In the past, before their biological daughter re-entered their lives, Gu Shan had wanted Gu Zi to cultivate a good relationship with Gong Xin, hoping to strengthen the bonds between the Gu and Gong families.

However, Gu Zi and Gong Xin couldn’t stand each other’s presence, and that plan had to be abandoned.

Gu Shan was baffled by Gong Xin’s unexpected presence with Gu Zi.

Rolling her eyes internally, Gong Xin explained, “Uncle Gu, Gu Zi and I are here to retrieve her household register for a job transfer. Could you please provide it? We’ll return it after the transfer is complete.”

Gu Shan, still processing this information, blinked in confusion. “You mean…”

“Gu Zi has already sold the job to me.”

Gu Shan’s eyes practically popped out of his head as he turned his gaze to Gu

He had heard about Gu Zi’s intention to sell her job, but he hadn’t anticipated her selling it to Gong Xin.

Gu Shan hesitated, torn between his initial plan.

At that very moment, Gu Zi spoke. “Dad, Mom, I want to thank you for your constant concern and for allowing Lin Miao to take over my job. While I was in the countryside, I thought long and hard about my career.

“It’s not fair to burden Lin Miao any further. That’s why I’ve decided to transfer the job,” Gu Zi said, her words filled with gratitude towards the Gu family.

Gu Shan’s anger began to dissipate.

Zhang Mei furrowed her brows and approached Gu Zi, asking, “What are you saying?”

Gu Zi’s gentle smile remained in place as she continued, “Lin Miao has been extraordinarily helpful in facilitating my job transfer. I’m genuinely touched by the ongoing concern you both have shown me. However, I can’t keep inconveniencing you. So, I thought about selling the job.”

Gong Xin chimed in, “Auntie, Uncle, I’ve made a promise to purchase Gu Zits job, and I won’t go back on it. So please don’t worry.”

Gu Shan’s expression froze in disbelief, and Zhang Mei appeared embarrassed.

In reality, they had wanted to give the job to Lin Miao. If Lin Miao didn’t want it, they could then sell it. However, Gu Zits sudden return meant Lin Miao wouldn’t have the opportunity to use the job, and they wouldn’t receive the money from selling the job either.

If Gu Zi had sold the job to an ordinary person, they could have used their status as adoptive parents to pressure her into transferring it to Lin Miao.

But the buyer was Gong Xin, which changed the dynamics.

They had to show support to the Gong family..
