Chapter 764: Just Pretend I Never Came

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In her heart, Gu Zi wanted to caution against the young nanny. Wasn’t it strange to Zhang Mei? Gu Shan spent his days in the military, where would he meet a young woman from the countryside?

However, Gu Zi held her tongue. Zhang Mei was a woman prone to suspicion. Even if Gu Zi told her the truth, she might not believe it, let alone appreciate it. Gu Zi decided not to meddle in this matter, it was best to keep her thoughts to herself.

Zhang Mei, noticing Gu Zi’s prolonged silence, grew anxious. “Have you noticed something amiss?” she asked.

Gu Zi, having decided not to involve herself in this matter, simply shook her head with a smile. “If you haven’t noticed anything wrong, Auntie, how could I? Perhaps you should find a time to talk to Gong Zhan. After all, he should call Gu Shan ‘father-in-law’. He could help keep an eye on things.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mei’s face fell. Gu Zi was still interested in Lin Miao’s man. She berated herself for seeking Gu Zi’s help. How could she expect Gu Zi to help her now, when she was no longer part of the Gu family?

“Oh, Gu Zi, what are you saying? You’re a married woman, how could you go to Gong Zhan? But I’m to blame for this, I was too anxious. I just wanted to talk to you, it’s always better to talk things out. I feel much better now, Gu Zi, you don’t need to worry about this. Let’s just pretend I never came today.”

Gu Zi tilted her head slightly, seeking confirmation. “Auntie, you came to me about this, not to ask for my help? I almost misunderstood. Are you sure you don’t need my help?”

As Zhang Mei was saying her goodbyes, she waved her hand dismissively. “No need, no need. Look at you, you have a child to take care of, you can’t be bothered with all this. Your Uncle Gu and I have been married for many years, we have a basic level of trust. I’ll be going now…”

Gu Zi watched Zhang Mei’s hurried departure, shrugging helplessly. “Auntie, you’re the one who said you didn’t need my help. Lele, let’s go inside.”

Gu Zi led Su Le into the courtyard.

…

The guard considered this a possibility. After all, the wife of Deputy Regiment Commander Gong was, to put it mildly, a difficult woman. He had no idea what the Gong family saw in her…

Upon exiting the train station and standing by the roadside, the guard respectfully addressed Gong Zhan, “Deputy Regiment Commander Gong, shall we wait here for Deputy Commander Hu and the others? Someone from the military district will come to pick us up soon, and we can leave together.”

Gong Zhan seemed not to hear the guard’s words, his gaze falling on Su Shen who was standing a little distance away. A mocking expression crossed his face as he prepared to call out to Su Shen.

The next moment, a military vehicle approached from afar.

Gong Zhan heard the guard’s surprised voice, “Deputy Regiment Commander, that’s our ride. Look at the driver, doesn’t he look like Brigade Commander Huo?

“Do you remember? Once, a delegation from the capital’s military district came to inspect our district, and Brigade Commander Huo was leading them. I heard he’s also from Guangcheng, and because of his numerous merits, he was specially transferred to serve in the capital’s military district. He’s quite a prominent figure. It seems the capital holds you in high regard, Deputy Regiment Commander.”
