Mrs. Chen patted her daughter under the table. “You’ve been spoiled by us. Look at how obedient Lin Miao is.”
Gong Xin followed Ms. Chen’s satisfied gaze and looked at Lin Miao, who was sitting next to her brother, wearing a shy expression on her face.
She held the teacup in her hand and sipped her tea, hardly touching the food.
Lin Miao, why do you keep drinking tea? Hurry up and eat!” Mr. Chen urged her. “Don’t stand on ceremony. Let Gong Zhan foot the bill today.”
Ms. Chen didn’t have strong objections to the idea of changing wives.
Since Lin Miao was the biological daughter of the Gu family, and her son hadn’t shown affection for Gu Zi after all these years, she accepted the situation.
The top priority now was to expedite her son’s marriage so that he could start a family soon.
Lin Miao put down her teacup and spoke softly, “Actually, I’ve always enjoyed drinking tea. My adoptive parents never understood me and said that drinking tea was a waste of time. Now that I have the opportunity to savor the fine tea of the Gong family, I consider myself fortunate. I’d like to enjoy it more.”
Many people regarded drinking tea as an elegant pastime. Lin Miao’s words implied that she had an inherent appreciation for refined things.
The adoptive parents who raised her were not the same kind of people as her, so they did not understand her.
Gong Xin didn’t want to drink tea anymore after hearing that. She buried her head in the food. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, those who had yet to see through Lin Miao’s true nature couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.
Mrs. Chen said, “I feel sorry for you. You’re clearly a young lady from a well-off family, yet you had to grow up in a remote mountain village. It’s only natural that you felt out of place.”
Gong Zhan’s father added, “Once you marry into our family, you can enjoy all the finest tea you desire. We’ll make sure to compensate for what you lacked in your youth. ”
Touched by their words, Lin Miao wiped away her tears with her hand and smiled. “Isn’t this a bit embarrassing for me?” She continued, “I’m not bitter about what happened. At least I’m still alive and can reunite with my birth parents.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei felt an ache in their hearts.
Gong Zhan, too, was moved. It was evident that Lin Miao had endured significant hardship in her adoptive family. The villagers had been truly unkind to her.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about something happy, ” Ms. Chen quickly stood up and comforted her.
Lin Miao wiped away her tears and nodded, holding back her emotions.
She shifted her mood with a bright smile and exclaimed, “Let’s talk about something joyful. The last time we visited my sister, she was preparing for her wedding too!”
Upon hearing Gu Zit s name, everyone in the Gong family, except Gong Xin, felt uncomfortable.
Gu Shan and Zhang Mei didn’t anticipate Lin Miao mentioning Gu Zi at this moment. Their biological daughter was so naive.
Ms. Chen had witnessed Gu Zits upbringing over the years. If she didn’t say a few words in response, it might reflect poorly on their family.
She responded with a smile, “That’s indeed great news. Now each of you will have your own home and be happy.”
Lin Miao readily agreed, saying, “Yes, it’s great. Before we get married, my sister has a small request. She wants Gong Zhan to accompany her for a meal and take a stroll around the city.”
She then looked at Gong Zhan and added, “I don’t think my sister’s request is too much. Can you fulfill her wish?”o
Upon hearing this, everyone’s immediate thought was that Gu Zi was too cunning!
Comparatively, Lin Miao was incredibly pure and kind-hearted.
To fulfill Gu Zits dream, she was willing to let her exceptional fiancé spend an entire day with another woman.
Had she considered the consequences if Gong Zhan had a change of heart after this meal?
When Gu Shan and Zhang Mei heard this, they were puzzled. They couldn’t remember Gu Zi mentioning this.
But they couldn’t believe that Lin Miao, who was so innocent, would make something up.
If she said it, then Gu Zi must have as well.
They assumed that Gu Zi might have mentioned it when they weren’t paying attention. After all, there were many members of the Lin family present that day.
Lin Miao observed her parents’ and Gong Zhan’s reactions. Her parents wouldn’t think that she was lying.
Gong Zhan’s gaze grew colder. It was clear he still had a deep dislike for Gu Zi.
Lin Miao felt that Gong Zhan was always surrounded by many women, and her relationship with him had not progressed yet.
As long as he still hated Gu Zi, she still had a lot of time to make Gong Zhan like her.
Ms. Chen was relieved that their true identities were revealed early, and Lin Miao had returned to the Gu family.
She disliked Gu Zi, who was scheming.
Mrs. Chen dromptly declined. saving. “You’re both getting married. and such
an arrangement isn’t very appropriate. You shouldn’t agree to it..”
