Chapter 892: A Guest from the Gong Family

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I have a son who excels in his studies and another who is skilled in martial arts. Every child has their strengths; it’s just a normal occurrence. Yet, some people can’t help but weave their own conspiracy theories, claiming my son’s grades are bought. If you can, why not buy one for me to see?” Gu Zi shot back, her voice steady.

“A Cui, don’t think everyone is as malicious as you are. To secure a wife for your son—who’s been divorced three times—you’ve resorted to all sorts of tactics, bullying Zhang Yao until she was nearly broken. And now you dare to go around saying I ruined your son’s engagement? Was that even an engagement? It was a blatant attempt to snatch a girl away! You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading rumors about others.”

Although Gu Zi usually kept her distance from these people, living in the area meant she had picked up on the dynamics around her. Her retorts flowed effortlessly, quick and sharp, leaving the onlookers struggling to keep up with her words.

A Cui was taken aback. Though she despised Gu Zi for what had happened with Zhang Yao, she had only dared to gossip behind her back. Facing Gu Zi directly was another matter entirely. Speaking to Huang Fei was merely an attempt to curry favor and gain trust, so she never expected Gu Zi to overhear her remarks.

As Gu Zi’s gaze fell on her, A Cui felt her blood rush to her face, a wave of embarrassment flooding over her. She couldn’t bear to meet Gu Zi’s eyes and wished to escape the situation entirely.

For Huang Fei, this was her first encounter with Gu Zi in person. The woman standing outside the yard was young and beautiful, with long brows and large, expressive eyes. Her figure was slender, and her demeanor exuded elegance.

Gu Zi’s attire was not overly flashy, yet she possessed a casual sophistication, as if the clothes merely accentuated her natural beauty. What a stunning woman!

Huang Fei was momentarily stunned. In such a small place, it was surprising to find someone so extraordinary. She quickly forgot the earlier unpleasantness and felt a strong desire to befriend Gu Zi.

Ignoring Gu Zi’s pointed remarks, she stood up and stepped forward, extending her hand. “You must be a resident here too. Hello, I’m Huang Fei. My husband’s surname is Xu, and we just moved in. From now on, we’re neighbors, and we should get to know each other better!”

Huang Fei believed that her status warranted a warm greeting, expecting Gu Zi to reciprocate her gesture of goodwill. She hadn’t considered that Gu Zi might refuse her.

Meanwhile, in the Su household, Gu Zi’s brief absence had resulted in a new guest arriving—Chief Gong, the father of Gong Zhan. He had come to express his gratitude to Su Shen for saving his son, and now the two were deep in conversation in the study, discussing who knew what.

Gu Zi prepared some tea and snacks to bring to the study. Not wanting to pry, she simply delivered the refreshments and made her way downstairs.

Jin Long, having heard that there was a guest from the Gong family, stood at the bottom of the stairs, craning his neck to catch a glimpse of the happenings above. Upon seeing Gu Zi, he hurriedly asked, “Gu Zi, has Gong Xin returned from the capital? How is she doing?”

Having been busy with various matters in the capital, Jin Long had only crossed paths with Gong Xin a couple of times at the military hospital, each instance interrupted by her mother, Madam Chen. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

He had felt too intimidated to approach her, fearing that Madam Chen might look down on him.
