Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Captain He and his team left, the Gu family’s phone continued to ring incessantly. Gu Shan and Zhang Mei felt overwhelmed, yet they dared not hang up nor answer the calls.

Without even answering, they knew these calls were from debt collectors. After the incident at yesterday’s banquet, it was likely that all their friends and relatives were aware of their predicament.

However, with the difficulty they were facing in repaying Lin Miao’s embezzled funds, how could they possibly repay these debts? For now, their only option was to avoid answering the phone and take things one step at a time.

Zhang Mei couldn’t help but shed tears at the thought of Lin Miao spending her days in prison. “Should we go and beg Gu Zi again? I really can’t bear to see Miao Miao go to jail. She hasn’t even enjoyed any good days since she returned. ”

Gu Shan closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, standing up to say, “Your pity won’t change anything. Don’t worry too much. Don’t forget, Lin Miao is now the Gong family’s daughter-in-law. She and Gong Zhan are legally married.

The Gong family can’t possibly ignore this.”

Even if the Gong family was furious, they couldn’t possibly ignore this matter. Gu Shan felt that instead of seeking Gu Zi, who they had deeply hurt, it would be more likely to change the situation by seeking the Gong family.

Upon hearing her husband’s analysis, Zhang Mei felt it made sense. She immediately prepared herself to go to the Gong family and plead for mercy, thick-skinned as it may be.

The head of the Gong family was not at home, and Mrs. Chen was in charge. Mrs. Chen deliberately made Zhang Mei wait a long time before coming out, but as Gu Shan had said, the Gong family, no matter how reluctant, had to face this matter.

Mrs. Chen said, “In the end, you were too unkind. I never thought you would treat Gu Zi like that. After all, she is a child you raised for over ten years.

“I’ve discussed it with the head of the family, and there’s no better way to handle this than to ask for Gu Zi^ts forgiveness. Only then can Lin Miao possibly avoid going to jail.”

Mrs. Chen and Mr. Gong were not fools. Given the current situation, even if their family’s reputation was paramount, they would not resort to illegal means to get Lin Miao out. They had to take the legal route, which was to seek Gu Zi’s forgiveness.

With a remorseful expression, Zhang Mei said, “We were foolish. We know we were wrong. We have also sought out Gu Zi, but she seems unwilling to forgive. We really don’t know what to do. Please, we ask for your help!”

Mrs. Chen shook her head in dismay. The actions of the Gu family were indeed difficult to forgive. Yet, she found herself in a position where she had no choice but to seek Gu Zi^ts forgiveness.

Having done her research, Mrs. Chen knew that Gu Zi and Su Shen had not returned to the village the previous day. Instead, they had gone to visit Mr. Lin in the hospital, where they remained. She decided to make the trip to the hospital herself.

She asked Zhang Mei to return home first, then set off for the hospital with her daughter, Gong Xin. The purpose of bringing Gong Xin was clear; she hoped that her daughter could help smooth things over. As far as she knew, Gong Xin and Gu Zi were on good terms.

Gong Xin did not refuse her mother’s request. Although she believed that Lin Miao deserved her prison sentence, she was a member of the Gong family. She had enjoyed all the benefits the family had provided since she was a child. In such a situation, she had no reason to be indifferent.

She despised Lin Miao, but she loved her family and her relatives. Gong Xin only planned to accompany her mother, Mrs. Chen, to make an appearance. She had no intention of actually persuading Gu Zi to forgive Lin Miao.

Lin Miao’s actions were such that she deserved to be in prison and reform herself. If it hadn’t been for Captain He’s investigation, Gong Xin would never have known how much Gu Zi had suffered. Lin Miao deserved to be punished!

The incident with Lin Miao was indeed a disgrace to the Gong family and would make her brother Gong Zhan lose face. However, Gong Xin believed that they had made their own choices and should bear the consequences. She was willing to accompany her mother to see Gu Zi, but she wholeheartedly agreed that Lin Miao should be imprisoned according to the law!

Upon their arrival at the hospital, Mrs. Chen and Gong Xin met with Gu Zi’s parents. They informed them that Gu Zi and Su Shen had gone out to buy something for them. They were aware of Mrs. Chen’s purpose and pleaded with her not to trouble their daughter.

Mrs. Chen was always a gentle and polite woman. Seeing this simple and honest rural couple, she couldn’t help but sigh. Gu Zi was indeed a good child. It was their Gong family’s misfortune to lose her. However, she still had to ask for Gu Zi’s forgiveness..
