Chapter 155: I Didn’t Say That

Lin Miao always felt that the current Gu Zi was different, and now she was even more certain.

Since Gong Zhan couldn’t provoke her, she could only try a different approach.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she said to Gu Zi, “Sister, what are your true intentions? It was clearly you who asked to break off the engagement with Su Shen before. Now you accuse me of scheming against you. What’s next? Will you accuse me of taking the betrothal money?”

So what if it was her, Lin Miao, who took the betrothal money? Nowadays, there were no cameras around, and the internet wasn’t well developed. Could the police even investigate it?

She dared to say this because she was confident that those lazy police officers wouldn’t be able to uncover anything.

In the eyes of outsiders, she looked like someone who had kindly helped Gu Zi but unexpectedly got bitten in return.

Gu Zi looked at her brimming with grievance and strength and couldn’t help but applaud her shamelessness.

Gu Zi felt a bit tired and calmly said, “I never mentioned anything about the betrothal money; those were your words. You can’t simply accuse me of something baseless here! As for whether you took them or not, the Public Security Bueau will give you a fair judgment.”

After saying this, Su Shen and Gu Zi bypassed the two and headed towards the motorcycle. Gong Zhan immediately distanced himself from Lin Miao.

Lin Miao looked at their retreating figures, coupled with Gong Zhan’s heartless attitude, her heart felt like it was about to explode with anger.

But she suppressed her anger and softly said to Gong Zhan, “How about we go look at wedding dresses too?”

No matter what, catching and confirming the engagement with Gong Zhan was the top priority now. She had to live a happier life than Gu Zi in this lifetime!

Gong Zhan responded impatiently and turned to leave the courtyard, and Lin Miao quickly followed.

Behind the door, Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter whom she had raised for over ten years, feeling thoroughly disappointed.

She was dressed a little like Gu Zi. She was wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a small hat on her head.

Unfortunately, there was a sense of awkwardness in her attempt to imitate. Her stature was clearly more suited to wearing a skirt that would make her appear taller.

Moreover, it seemed that she had returned to the Lin family residence just to cause trouble. She probably intending to pick a fight with Lin Cheng to scold him.

It just so happened that Gu Zi and Su Shen were also there.

Mrs. Lin had seen through it now and just treated it as if she had never raised Lin Miao.

On the small road, Su Shen and Gu Zi got onto the motorcycle. Su Shen swiftly inserted the key into the ignition and, with a “vroom,” the bike shot forward.

Gu Zi hugged the man’s waist tightly, and her face was still pressed against his back. It gave off the feeling of a couple in love. It was a beautiful scene.

Gong Zhan drove behind them, filled with suppressed anger.

This road was too narrow; he could only overtake when they reached a wider road.

Gong Zhan felt he had fallen into Gu Zi’s trap. Otherwise, why would he feel particularly uncomfortable witnessing this scene?

That must be it. This woman was full of schemes. By pretending not to care about him and getting close to that rural man, she just wanted to incite his emotions, seeking revenge for his indifference towards her for so many years.

Lin Miao looked at him and said very maturely, “Gong Zhan, don’t blame Gu Zi. She loves you too much—love deeply and blame sharply. Not being able to have you makes her upset. Women are childish like that.”

Lin Miao didn’t care if Gu Zi genuinely didn’t care or was pretending not to care, but she knew Gong Zhan disliked Gu Zi the most when she showed him love.

Saying this would only tarnish Gu Zi’s image further in Gong Zhan’s mind, and she seemed to have hit the mark.

Gong Zhan’s face was gloomy. He sneered, “But I can never fall in love with her. Let’s go pick out a wedding dress. As for today’s events, I will explain to my parents.”

Gong Zhan felt that the Lin family’s actions were merely to prevent the Gu family and the Gong family from succeeding in their union.

Lin Miao looked down, looking like she might cry, and said, “Thank you for believing me. As long as you believe me, I’m not afraid of anything.”

It seemed she had found the secret to control Gong Zhan—praising him, saying nice things to him, using Gu Zi to stir him up.

Lin Miao felt she was incredibly clever. When she became the wife of an officer, she wouldn’t fear being overshadowed by Gu Zi!

What was the use of Su Shen being powerful in the future? Gu Zi was nothing more than a live-in nanny in the Su family under the guise of being the wife..
