Chapter 49: Planning to Get Rid of Gu Zi

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The crooked teeth auntie finally had a captivated audience, and she shared everything that had been weighing on her mind.

She spoke eloquently and gestured animatedly, not bothering to consider that her words were distorting the truth.

Chu Xi rose from her seat and asked, “Did you really see this?”

Being from the city and as good-looking as Gu Zi, Chu Xi found it hard to believe she had never had a man before.

Gu Zi had dressed so elegantly during her city visit, and when she returned, she had concealed something not meant to be seen.

It made sense to Chu Xi that she might have met an ex-lover.

Auntie Crooked Teeth slapped her thigh and asserted, “Why would I lie to you? She genuinely hid a bag. Think about it, why would such a beautiful woman from the city marry into the countryside? It’s surely for the money.”

Chu Xi shared the same suspicion, chiming in, “Do you think she conspired with someone to deceive Su Shen and take his money?”

“I’m convinced she wants to run away with the money,” Auntie Crooked Teeth declared.

Chu Xi had been concerned about not finding an opportunity, but now she saw the chance to get rid of Gu Zi.

Chu Xi felt quite pleased with herself. She had looked after Su Shen’s child and made a little extra money, sometimes even sneaking some pork home. Anyway, Su Shen was rich, so it was not a big deal.

Gu Zi, on the other hand, seemed intent on taking all of Su Shen’s money.

Chu Xi intended to find Su Shen immediately and go to the Su family to expose Gu Zi, prompting her eviction from Daqing Village.

Even after Gu Zi left, Chu Xi planned to demand a pay raise from Su Shen.

With these thoughts, Chu Xi’s heart was brimming with joy. She left in a hurry without informing Chu Tian.

At the Gong Family.

Gong Xin had just returned home when Gong Zhan called her over.

In an unusually cheerful mood today, Gong Xin skipped to Gong Zhan’s room.

However, she was taken aback when she entered.

The once neatly arranged bed was now cluttered with various items, including old toys from their childhood, like iron frogs, marbles, and toy guns.

Some of them were letters with ‘Gu Zit‘ written on them.

Gong Xin recalled how Gu Zi had gone to a temple to obtain protective talismans for Gong Zhan. At the time, she had even teased Gu Zi for shamelessly pursuing Gong Zhan.

There were also a collection of small gifts.

Gong Xin couldn’t help but wonder. Why did Gong Zhan bring these items out?

Gong Zhan stood there with his arms crossed, and he spoke with a stern tone, “These are all things Gu Zi pushed onto me in the past. After I pack them up, find an opportunity to return them to her. I don’t want any further interactions with her.”

Gong Xin was perplexed. Why not simply discard these items if he no longer wanted them?

She reached out to touch Gong Zhan’s forehead, saying, “You don’t have a fever, do you?”

Gong Zhan swatted her hand away, his expression sour. “Don’t you dare joke about this. I’m just worried that she might try to bribe you to get closer to me.

I’m truly irritated by her.”

Gong Xin was momentarily stunned. She never considered the possibility of Gu Zi trying to pursue Gong Zhan anymore.

“You must return these things to her and make it clear that I will not be swayed by her,” Gong Zhan insisted.

Gong Xin finally grasped his intentions. “You can rest assured, Gong Zhan. Gu Zi won’t come looking for you anymore.”

She felt that she had to make things clear to Gong Zhan.

Gong Zhan didn’t believe her at all. “It seems that you’ve been bribed by her.” Gong Xin found it funny, but she couldn’t bring herself to laugh.

In the end, she really didn’t want to see his arrogant face and compromised with him. “Then hurry up and pack up. I’ll help you pass these things back to her when the time comes.”

The sun had just set when Gu Zi returned home.

Su Le, who was in her arms, grabbed her clothes and was about to fall asleep.

Gu Zi put everything away and placed some snacks out. Seeing that the brothers had not returned, she secured the front door and headed upstairs, cradling Su Le.

Gu Zi was feeling a bit tired after a day of shopping, so she decided to take a quick shower and then rest for a while.

Glancing at the time, she calculated that fifteen minutes was just enough for her to rest before preparing dinner.

By the time Su Bing and Su Li arrived home, it was growing dark.

They had returned late because Su Li had been reprimanded by his teacher, and the two of them were understandably delayed.

“We’re back late today. You don’t think she’ll tattle on us, do you?” Su Li asked anxiously.

Su Bing remained silent and simply took out the key to the front door, unlocking it.

Only then did Su Li realize, “She’s not back yet!”

A sense of dread welled up within Su Li. His eyes immediately reddened..

“Brother, do you think she sold our sister and ran away?!”
