EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Miao said, “Mom, I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable. I’d like to rest in the car for a while.”

Zhang Mei replied, “You’re here as a guest for the wedding. How can you lock yourself in the car to rest? If you want to rest, I’ll ask your sister to arrange a place for you to rest comfortably.”

Lin Miao responded very sensibly, “It’s better not to trouble her. With so many dignitaries and important guests here today, I think it’s unnecessary to bother my sister.”

In fact, she felt that if Zhang Mei could stir things up a bit for Gu Zi, she would feel more at ease.

Zhang Mei was already feeling uneasy today. When she heard Lin Miao’s words, she couldn’t bear to see Lin Miao being mistreated any further.

She said, “Let’s go find her now. I’ll ask her to arrange a place for you to rest. After all, I am her foster mother. If she has time to socialize with outsiders, she should have time to take care of her sister. What kind of reasoning is this?”

Thinking she was in the right, Zhang Mei took Lin Miao and went to find Gu Zi.

Gu Shan didn’t go over. The main table only had four heavyweight big shots, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to join without an invitation.

Now that Su Shen had married Gu Zi, he could be considered half a son-in-law to him. There was no reason not to invite him to sit at the main table. This way, Gu Shan could also understand how capable Su Shen really was.

Of course, the most important thing was to get close to the big shots at the main table.

After Gu Zi toasted the people at the main table, she noticed that the commander seemed to have a lot to discuss with Su Shen. She asked Su Shen to stay at the main table and accompany them. She would go and toast the guests at the other tables. She took her two children to toast at other tables.

Atter toasting at two tables, when she was about to go to the third table, she was stopped by Zhang Mei, who asked her to find a place for Lin Miao to rest.

Gu Zi said she was busy at the moment and told them to rest in the small room behind the hall. However, Zhang Mei complained that it was too noisy there.

Even though Lin Miao was not feeling uncomfortable anymore, she pretended to be weak and said, “Mom, don’t trouble my sister. I’ll go to the car by myself.”

Zhang Mei, angry, questioned, “Gu Zi, is it that difficult for you to arrange a place for your sister to rest? You and your sister were switched by two families since childhood. After being the darling of the Gu family for over ten years, have you forgotten the gratitude for your upbringing?”

Zhang Mei’s words were just short of revealing Gu Zi’s identity as the city’s heiress who had occupied Lin Miao’s rightful position for more than ten years.

However, the gazes cast upon this mother-daughter pair were full of disgust. People knew that even though the Gu family had better conditions, Lin Miao had lived quite well in the Lin family over the years.

Moreover, the fact that the Gu family had forced Gu Zi to act as a substitute bride for their biological daughter was well-known, making people speechless.

Humans were indeed selfish. It was acceptable to want to compensate for one’s biological daughter, but why did it have to come at the expense of Gu Zi? The Gu family had successfully forced Gu Zi into the marriage, yet they still clung to her.

On the one hand, they were afraid that their adopted daughter would not be able to leave the Gu family and would fight for resources with their biological daughter, Lin Miao. On the other hand, they didn’t sever ties with Gu Zi completely. On such a joyous occasion, they still managed to make people unhappy. It was simply outrageous!

Gu Zi didn’t want to waste words at this moment and directly said, “Aunt Zhang, it was you who advised me to stay in the countryside, not to return to the Gu family, and to marry on behalf of the Lin family for the sake of Lin Miao. You asked me to do it to repay you. As for Lin Miao, I wont specially arrange a place for her to rest. According to the Public Security Bureau records, Lin Miao is still a suspected thief who stole wedding gifts. We have many valuable items at home, and I’m afraid of them being stolen.”

Hearing this, some people from Little Lin Village remembered that not long ago, Lin Hun had complained that Lin Miao had stolen the wedding gifts. Everyone now realized that the Lin family had raised an ingrate for so many years.

Moreover, there had been a police investigation into the matter, and the discussion among the people reached Zhang Mei’s ears.

Zhang Mei accused Gu Zi, saying, “You’re spreading rumors to discredit your sister! ”

Gu Zi responded, “Aunt Zhang, as someone from the big compound, you shouldn’t be so ignorant. The Public Security Bureau has filed a case for investigation. Do you still think it’s just a rumor?”

Gu Zits casual remark left Zhang Mei momentarily speechless, and Lin Miao’s heart raced.

However, at the thought that MO Li was on her side, she felt relieved again. She calmly said to Gu Zi, “Sister, I’m not afraid of a police investigation if I haven’t done anything wrong. I just didn’t expect to become a suspect. If you hate me, you can hit me or scold me. I didn’t expect you to choose to slander me.”

Hearing this, Gu Zi laughed. She responded effortlessly, “Lin Miao, don’t think that everything will go smoothly just because MO Li has switched sides. The truth will come out sooner or later. People will always pay for their actions. Let me remind you, you can’t control MO Li at all..”
