Chapter 752: Shared Weariness
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi explained, “It’s not certain yet, but it shouldn’t be long. Mother, don’t worry, Su Shen has everything under control.”
An Yun felt relieved. “That’s good to hear,” she said. “There’s something else I didn’t get a chance to tell you earlier. The Gu family came looking for us. They knew you had moved into the city and wanted your address. I told them I didn’t know. After a bit of back-and-forth, they left in a huff. But I heard something disturbing.
“They claimed that Lin Miao said you stole her job. They said the writing job you have now should have been hers. It’s utter nonsense. The Gu family hasn’t bothered you about this, have they?”
An Yun’s tone became indignant. She knew that Gu Zi hadn’t stolen anything from Lin Miao. Lin Miao was in jail, how could she possibly have had this job opportunity?
Gu Zi listened, her eyes narrowing slightly as a thoughtful and puzzled look graced her face. “Lin Miao said I stole her job? She’s certain of this?”
Logically speaking, she had earned her place on the stage at the tea ceremony through her own merit. From Lin Miao’s perspective, at most, she would be angry that she had stolen her chance to shine, had caught the attention of Boss Huo, and then, through Guan Xin, had secured this job.
But this job was something she had obtained later. It wasn’t something she had immediately after the tea ceremony. Lin Miao, after the tea ceremony, shouldn’t have known about this job. Yet, Lin Miao claimed that Gu Zi had stolen it from her, implying that the job should have been hers.
In fact, if Gu Zi hadn’t crossed over, according to the original plot of the book, the job would indeed have been Lin Miao’s. But the reality was, she had crossed over. The story wasn’t developing according to the original plot. But how could she know about the original plot of the book? It was strange. Gu Zi really hoped she was just being overly suspicious…
Hu Jie, of course, didn’t care whether she was in the same carriage as Gong Zhan. Hearing what Gong Zhan had said, she moved forward with her bodyguard, Xiao Zhao. Gong Zhan also lowered his hat brim and entered the carriage, followed by his bodyguard, carrying two bags of gifts.
After they found their seats, the bodyguard quickly stowed the luggage and respectfully said to Gong Zhan, “Deputy Commander, please have a seat.”
Gong Zhan sat down silently, coughed once, and said to the bodyguard, “We’re away from home, there’s no need to be so ostentatious.”
Having said that, he looked up, intending to check the clock at the front of the carriage. However, his gaze froze as it moved. Gong Zhan’s face darkened when he saw the man sitting directly opposite him. What was Su Shen doing here?!
