Gong Xin was no fool. After hearing Gu Zi’s words, she too realized that Lin Miao was the most likely person to cause trouble.
The event had initially started with a scripted host. Although Lin Miao’s foreign language skills were not entirely up to par, she could certainly memorize a script and deliver it. After all, she was a clerk at the radio station and had access to the final drafts.
However, due to certain circumstances, the event required an impromptu bilingual host. Not only did the host need to be bilingual, but they also had to think on their feet and interact with foreign guests.
This sudden change caught Lin Miao off guard. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have been the biggest beneficiary of today’s mishap? But for now, all these were just speculations. Gong Xin quietly resolved to get to the bottom of this matter before making any accusations.
When Gong Xin directly warned Lin Miao, she acted so wronged that she burst into tears. “Just because you and Gu Zi are good friends now, doesn’t mean you can be so biased and help her slander me. I only came here today because Gong Zhan asked me to…”
Gong Zhan’s icy gaze fell on Lin Miao’s pitiful face. Her makeup was exceptionally light today, and her style of dress was no longer a soulless imitation of Gu Zi.
She seemed to have found a style of dress that suited her, looking like a delicate jade today. Her crying was indeed quite distressing.
Seeing Lin Miao cry, he felt even more that Gu Zi was the bad influence, thinking that his sister had been bewitched by Gu Zi and was causing trouble.
He coldly said to Gu Zi, “Stop playing your little games. Greedy people are the most annoying.”
Just as Gu Zi was about to retort, a man’s voice, even sharper than Gong
Zhan’s, rang out, “Use your brain. Who are you calling greedy?”
Everyone’s ears pricked up at the sound of this deep, magnetic voice, as rich and mellow as a cello, with an indescribable charm that resonated in their hearts.
Apart from these feelings, Gu Zi also felt a strong sense of affection. Wasn’t this the voice of her man? So domineering, so manly!
She looked up and, as she had expected, her heart raced. The others also followed Gu Zi’s gaze and were taken aback.
The man was extremely handsome and resolute, dressed simply in a shirt and trousers, but he wore them with an air of elegance.
His brows were bright, his thin lips tightly pressed, his gaze deep and sharp. His long legs took confident strides, like a king who held supreme power in this world.
He walked up to Gu Zi in a few steps, protectively wrapped his beautiful wife in his arms in front of everyone, and gently kissed her forehead. The man said tenderly, “Wife, it’s time to go home.”
His wife, along with their children, had been pulled in to serve as a bilingual host in the middle of their stroll.
Such an excellent and beautiful woman, he really couldn’t afford to let his guard down for a moment.
He was even thankful now that he had agreed to attend today’s tea party with Old Huo.
Gu Zi’s eyelashes fluttered, and she smelled the unique cool fragrance of the man. Her lips curved up slightly, “Mm, where are the children?”
Su Shen said, “With Old Huo. We’ll go get them when we leave. But I don’t understand, why would a wife need to scheme when attending a tea party with her husband?”
When Su Shen had entered, he had heard the radio station staff discussing the emotional entanglements between Gu Zi, Lin Miao, and Gong Zhan. They said that with such an excellent ex, Gu Zi must have some regrets.
When Su Shen reached the door of the lounge, he heard Lin Miao’s slander against Gu Zi and Gong Zhan’s words. Su Shen thought that Gong Zhan was really a bit blinded by Gu Zi’s past love.
Not knowing how to cherish such a good woman as Gu Zi, what right did he have to doubt Gu Zi and throw dirt on her?
At Su Shen’s words, Gong Zhan was at a loss for words. Su Shen was a VIP at the tea party, how could this be possible?
And today, this rural man, once dressed up, stood in front of him with an aura even stronger than his own.
Gong Zhan’s face was very ugly, the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Gong Xin really didn’t want to continue losing face with her brother. She pulled Gong Zhan and said, “Don’t say anything else, hurry up and take me to the hospital for a check-up. I don’t want to look like this all the time, let’s go, quickly!”
With that, Gong Xin pulled her brother out of the lounge.
Lin Miao’s face was pale, and seeing Su Shen defend Gu Zi was like a knife to her heart. In her past life, she and Su Shen were a married couple, but he had never treated her like this!
She glanced at the two of them, then followed Gong Xin and her brother out..
