Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1065

Chapter 1065: She Cares, But Just A Little

Gong Xin clung to Gu Zi, sobbing uncontrollably. It took her a long moment to regain composure, and only then did she realize there were other people around.

Hastily wiping her tears, she accepted the fragrant, sizzling lamb skewer Gu Zi handed her and took a big bite before exclaiming, “My brother is running away from home! He’s off to the Capital Military District, and he probably won’t be back for years. I’m devastated!”

Gu Zi finally understood—so this was why Gong Xin was so heartbroken. It was almost amusing. She always complained about her brother, rolling her eyes at his every move, but now that he was leaving, she was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. Sibling bonds were a curious thing.

Patting Gong Xin’s back in comfort, she said, “That’s not such a big deal. If you miss him, just visit him in the capital.”

Gong Xin finished the skewer in a few bites and immediately grabbed a small cake. She had always been obsessed with Gu Zi’s desserts. Between mouthfuls, she sighed, “It’s not that simple. With him gone, my allowance is going to be cut in half. That means fewer new clothes for me. It’s unbearable!”

Gu Zi gave a deliberately exaggerated smile. “Ah, I see. So you do care about your brother—just not that much.”

Gong Xin put down the cake, her expression shifting to one of deep sorrow. With a choked voice, she wailed, “And you! You’re leaving for university in the capital too! You’re abandoning me! Who am I supposed to mooch off now?”

Gu Zi rolled her eyes. This girl had some feelings for her, but—again—not much. Still, Gong Xin had unknowingly touched upon something Gu Zi had been contemplating. The capital was a place where land was worth more than gold, and at today’s market prices, with the money she had, she could easily afford a mansion with a courtyard right in the heart of the city.

If she could convince Su Shen to invest as well and snap up a few more of those traditional courtyard homes… The appreciation value alone would be astronomical. They would make a fortune!

But it wasn’t just about profit—owning property in the capital would also be a significant advantage for their three children’s education. This was an opportunity she simply couldn’t let slip through her fingers.

Su Le, already exhausted, was further frustrated by her second brother’s taunting. Pouting, she resolved not to speak to him for the rest of the night.

Su Li, noticing that his little sister was ignoring him, pouted too. He was not the type to stay still for long. In truth, the only reason he had mastered stance-holding was because of their father’s strict authority. Otherwise, he would have long since run off to play with Gao Ming instead.

Su Shen decided it was time to humble this smug little brat. He walked over and pressed down on Su Li’s shoulders. Su Li remained motionless, perfectly stable.

Impressed, Su Shen nodded approvingly. “Your stance is solid. Now, if you can pass a small challenge, you won’t have to practice stance-holding anymore.” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Su Li’s eyes lit up. He had always thought stance-holding was incredibly dull. “Really? What’s the challenge?”
