Chapter 113: Rumors

EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Aunt Fang?”

Gu Zi did not know this person. She looked at Su Shen, who also seemed clueless about who it was.

Zhang Cuihua explained, “Yes, that woman has been spreading rumors lately, saying you are malicious, arrogant, and disrespectful. She claimed you treated your younger sister’s fruit gift as garbage and even assaulted her boyfriend.”

Because of this, Aunt Zhang had an argument with Aunt Fang that day. The Gu Zi she knew wasn’t like that at all.

Gu Zi vaguely felt it must be related to the trouble caused by Tian Hai that afternoon. She remembered a woman passing by who helped Tian Hai that day.

So, since she couldn’t create false rumors about her as per the plot, did they just opt for outright defamation?

She found that lecherous man disgusting: how could she ever touch him? If

anything, hitting him would be too good for him!

As for the apples, wasn’t it that lecherous man who was frightened by Big Yellow and threw them away? She didn’t even know they were from Su Jing!

Gu Zi asked, “The Aunt Fang you mentioned, is she a petite woman with shoulder-length hair?”

Zhang Cuihua nodded repeatedly, “I happened to pass by her house that day and saw Tian Hai sneaking out from her place. I reckon it was the same day Su Jing sent him to deliver the apples; something doesn’t add up.”

Although Tian Hai was from the city, ever since he got together with Su Jing, he often flaunted himself in the village, and many women in the village knew him.

She could tell Tian Hai wasn’t a good person; why would he sneak into a woman’s room in broad daylight? Of course, that Aunt Fang wasn’t well-behaved either.

Zhang Cuihua continued, “I’m telling you this so you know. Aunt Fang’s husband works outside the village all year round, and everyone in the village knows her reputation. She’s had quite a few flings with men; nearly twenty or thirty. Most people won’t believe what she says, but there are always some who do.”

Gu Zi nodded, “Thank you, Auntie Zhang, we understand. We won’t mention you told us about all these.”

Remembering how that woman had supported Tian Hai at that time, Gu Zi had felt something was off. Now, hearing Zhang Cuihua’s account, she understood why. People can have different sides when they sleep in the same bed. When Zhang Cuihua was leaving, Gu Zi handed her jar of preserved fruit to taste.

After seeing Zhang Cuihua and the little boy off, Gu Zi returned and saw Su Shen looking extremely severe.

He softened his expression slightly upon seeing Gu Zi but said, “Gu Zi, tell me what happened. ”

Gu Zi recounted the events of that afternoon in detail. By the end, tears were welling up in her eyes.

Su Shen’s heart ached when he saw her. He hadn’t expected that merely going on a business trip for a few days would result in such an incident!

Su Bing and Su Li were also furious upon hearing it, clenching their fists silently. That Tian Hai dared to harass their stepmom?

Seeing the man’s tightened fist, Gu Zi was afraid he might get angry again, so she reached out and held his fist.

But his fist was huge; she realized she needed both hands to cover it.

As the woman’s soft, fair, and fragrant hand enveloped the man’s, it felt as if cotton wrapped around it. The warmth from his palm surged, and his eyes, like a cold abyss, stirred with hidden emotions.

Looking at him through misty eyes, she whispered, “Don’t worry, I wasn’t harmed. I didn’t even open the door.”

Su Shen knew Gu Zi didn’t want to make things difficult for him. How could a woman not suffer when repeatedly harassed by a man?

Gu Zi was his girlfriend and his fiancée. A man who couldn’t protect his woman was nothing!

However, he didn’t want her to worry, so he just softly murmured, afraid that saying more would reveal his anger.

Gu Zi remembered his injury on his arm and said, “The bandage on your arm should be ready to be removed. After your shower, come here, and I’ll help you check it. If it’s healed, we’ll remove the bandage.”

“Okay, I’ll go shower now.” Su Shen stood up and walked upstairs. His half-squinted eyes instantly widened, revealing a chilling murderous intent.

This time, he wouldn’t let Tian Hai off the hook.

Gu Zi sat on the sofa, holding Su Le in her arms, and asked Su Bing and Su Li to go shower and sleep.

Of course, she would not give up just like that. Someone like Tian Hai, driven

by lust, was a disaster tor both the Su family and her.

Since Tian Hai and Su Jing were still just boyfriend and girlfriend, and there were no children between them, she could try to salvage the situation.

She needed to find a way to show Su Jing Tian Hai’s true colors. What Su Jing chose after knowing the truth would be her decision..
