Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When they left the cafeteria, the crowd dispersed in three waves. Su Li, the most ostentatious of them all, led a group of followers, with Gao Ming at the helm, towards the teaching building in a grand procession.

Next were Su Bing and his classmates. After bidding farewell to Jiang Nuan, they too departed. Su Bing’s classmates, being slightly older, glanced between the stoic Su Bing and the radiant Jiang Nuan, their faces breaking into smiles.

They were unsure whether the old tyrant or the new leader was more formidable, but it was clear that the new leader’s charisma and good looks were unmatched. It was evident that even the well-known sophomore, the smiling angel Jiang Nuan, was quite fond of him. They were confident in their choice of the new leader; they couldn’t possibly be wrong!

Earlier, Jiang Nuan had informed Su Bing that she lived in the new district of Jifu Village. Upon learning that their homes were not far apart, Su Bing invited Jiang Nuan to the food party they were hosting at his house on Saturday. Jiang Nuan agreed, much to everyone’s delight.

The last to leave was Jiang Nuan. She watched as Su Bing and the others departed, a warm smile playing on her lips. The scene of her recent encounter with Su Bing replayed in her mind.

At that moment, she felt no resentment towards her father. Of course, she had never blamed him to begin with. Despite her young age, she understood that it wasn’t her father’s fault.

Her father had nearly been ensnared in a small group’s power struggle due to someone else’s scheming. Although he hadn’t been directly involved, he was still listed as a suspect, resulting in their family being under covert surveillance for over two years. His position remained the same, but his authority and influence had significantly diminished.

Even as his daughter, her schooling had been subject to numerous restrictions. In the end, she could only enroll in the most ordinary school, Chenglong Elementary School. However, her mother had gone to great lengths to keep up with the elite education of their social class, hiring tutors and finding various ways to supplement her education.

Now that her father’s suspicion had been completely cleared, her schooling restrictions were lifted. Her mother immediately arranged for a transfer.

Her family had always prioritized her education, naturally sending her to the best school at the earliest opportunity. She was willing to follow her family’s arrangements, knowing that her parents would never harm her. Therefore, she was obedient.

However, when she learned she was leaving Chenglong Elementary, there was a hint of reluctance in her heart. At the time, she didn’t understand why she felt this way. But now, it seemed she understood. It was because of her classmate, Su Bing.

…

Awakening from her afternoon nap, Gu Zi prepared the baby formula, setting up her little girl with her meal and toys before she retreated to her study to begin her day’s work.

The little girl had grown significantly, her personality blossoming into a lively one, yet she remained obedient. Whenever Gu Zi was working or engaged in any task, she would play on her own, following her instructions. She was incredibly easy to manage, never hindering Gu Zi’s work.

Gu Zi was in the midst of translating a text, her skills making the task feel effortless. Just as she was about to finish a small section, the sound of the doorbell echoed from the courtyard below.

She furrowed her brows slightly, wondering who could be visiting at this hour.

However, she disliked being interrupted while working, so she didn’t cease his task. Instead, she continued translating. Only when she had finished did she shut down her computer, tidied up her documents, and picked up her little girl to head downstairs.

The doorbell rang again, its persistent noise irking Gu Zi, prompting her to quicken her steps.

As she stepped out of the house, she peered through the large gap in the ornate iron gate.

She recognized the visitor as Zhang Mei, the foster mother of the original owner of her body. Gu Zi wondered why she had come again, and what the couple was up to.

Last time it was Gu Shan, and now it was Zhang Mei. They always used to act together, so why were they visiting separately now? It was strange.

Zhang Mei had been standing outside the door for nearly half an hour, her face growing increasingly displeased. However, upon seeing the grand house before her and Gu Zi emerging from it, she managed to squeeze out a smile. In that moment, she understood why Gu Shan had been expressing regret about driving Gu Zi away. freewebnoveℓ.com

Now, whenever they argued, Gu Shan would blame her for pushing Gu Zi too far. Otherwise, their current situation wouldn’t have arisen, with Gu Zi now only addressing them as uncle and aunt, no longer calling them mom and dad.

However, Zhang Mei felt that she couldn’t be blamed for this. If she hadn’t insisted on Gu Zi marrying Su Shen in the first place, would Gu Zi be living such a prosperous life now?

As Gu Zi opened the door, she noticed that Zhang Mei’s hands were empty. She sneered inwardly, thinking that this was typical of the Gu family, always showing up empty-handed. She wondered what Zhang Mei wanted this time, but her intuition told her it was likely related to Gu Shan.
