Gu Zi’s eyes welled up with tears. She didn’t mention that they had no right to demand the money, nor did she accuse them of wrongdoing because they had influential backing.

She simply provided a respectful explanation for why she needed that sum of money.

As the adopted daughter of the Gu family in the city, her upcoming marriage into the Su family in Daqing Village would become widely known.

The presence of a dowry at the wedding would naturally reflect the Gu family’s prestige.

Even though they had sent her to the countryside, she was still thinking about the Gu family. She displayed a deep sense of loyalty to them.

Zhang Mei was touched, and even Gu Shan was moved.

They felt that perhaps the initial shock of discovering the truth about the Gu family’s biological daughter had taken a toll on her and led to this drastic change in her attitude.

That would be difficult for anyone to accept. It was a process of coming to terms with such a life-altering revelation.

Gu Zi had evidently adapted to this process. She now understood their feelings of guilt toward Miaomiao. And she had always shown such respect to them as parents. How could they still want the money from her now?

“Have you already decided to get married?” Gu Shan inquired. “In that case, the money will be our dowry.”

Naturally, she held herself accountable for her hastiness and didn’t suspect Lin Miao’s instigation.

She turned to Su Shen and remarked, “This must be Gu Zits fiancé. He’s truly a handsome man. Well, it’s settled then. You two have a wonderful life ahead.” Gu Shan and Zhang Mei felt that this outcome was good too.

Although they did not get the money, at least they confirmed that Gu Zi and Su Shen were getting married.

This was good. Actually, as long as Miaomiao could keep the engagement with the Gong Family, this would be the best compensation for her.

Seeing the change in the Gu family’s attitude, Su Shen replied politely, “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Gu.”

Behind Gu Shan and Zhang Mei, Lin Miao was on the brink of losing her mind with anger. They had switched sides so quickly, casting their guilt toward her to the back of their minds.

Lin Miao found her biological parents to be excessively hypocritical. They consistently professed their intention to make amends to her, yet they had been effortlessly swayed by Gu Zi. It was apparent that Gu Zi still held a place in their hearts.

She did not want to return empty-handed. She needed to take action to ensure that Gu Zi wouldn’t have it easy.

Lin Miao approached Gu Zi and held her hand in front of everyone, wearing a slight frown.

Gu Zi allowed her to lead her, curious about the purpose behind her actions.

“Sister, I owe you an apology,” Lin Miao began. “I’ve heard rumors circulating in the community that you sold your job to Gong Xin with the intention of getting closer to Gong Zhan in the future. ”

She continued, “I thought of you as well, considering how deeply you once loved Brother Gong Zhan in the past.” There was a hint of provocation in her eyes, a message meant solely for Gu Zi.

Gu Zi’s narrowed her eyes, fully understanding Lin Miao’s intentions. She was deliberately making this statement for Su Shen to hear.

“However,” Lin Miao went on, “after hearing what Sister said today, I’m relieved. Regardless of how much you may have loved Brother Gong Zhan, you still value the dignity of the Gu family.

“Even if you hate children so much, you’ll definitely live a good life with Mr. Su, right?” Lin Miao was apologizing, but in reality, she was informing Su Shen that Gu Zi married him solely for the sake of the Gu family.

Gu Zi responded with a faint smile. Lin Miao’s tactics were quite shrewd!

Gu Zi said to Lin Miao, “I’m glad that you’ve recognized your mistake.”

Then she turned to Su Shen and addressed him directly, “I, Gu Zi, have only you in my heart now. Mr. Su, do you mind the fact that I once acted immature and pursued someone else?”

Su Shen found it difficult not to be affected by her words. He knew that Gu Zi had been initially reluctant to marry into the countryside.

However, in this moment, he saw this beautiful woman approaching in front of both families and gently asking him if he minded her past immaturity.

She explained that she had pursued someone else not because she liked him, but because she wasn’t mature enough. This admission eased the knot in his heart.

He responded with a warm smile, “I don’t mind.”

At that moment, the two of them could only see each other in their eyes, and their mutual trust was apparent. This infuriated Lin Miao to the core.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. She had failed in her attempt to sow discord and had, in fact, provided Gu Zi with an opportunity to express her loyalty.

Lin Miao observed Gu Zi closely and couldn’t help but feel that Gu Zi had changed too much.

Previously, Gu Zi would explode at the slightest provocation. A simple

provocation would easily set her off. However, that didn’t seem to be the case now.

Lin Miao couldn’t quite figure out what had happened..
