When Lin Miao heard Gong Xin say this, she let down her guard. She fawned over Gong Xin and said, âIâm sorry. Do you need to go to the toilet? Letâs go together.â
Actually, in the end, Lin Miao still wanted to build a good relationship with Gong Xin. Unfortunately, Gu Zi beat her to it. Gu Zi used her job as a broadcaster to completely win Gong Xinâs heart.
It was all Gu Ziâs fault. She and Gu Zi couldnât coexist in the same world!
However, Gong Xin didnât think their relationship had progressed to the point of going to the bathroom together. She took a step back and avoided Lin Miaoâs hand. âLet me give you some advice. Itâs best not to compare yourself to Gu Zi. Just focus on getting your marriage certificate.â
Lin Miao couldnât help but wonder if Gong Xin understood her true intentions. She had been wearing a sour expression ever since they entered the private room, not because she didnât want to marry her brother Gong Zhan, but because she wanted a grander wedding than Gu Zits. However, since the Gong Family hadnât mentioned the wedding, Lin Miao chose to stay silent.
Upon hearing Gong Xinâs words, Lin Miaoâs expression turned icy. âGong Xin, Iâll become your sister-in-law soon. Are you sure you want to side with an outsider? You have no right to speak that way!â
Gong Xin had always been the favored child in the family, and she wasnât afraid of Lin Miaoâs threats. She calmly replied, âI base my judgments on reason, not familial ties. I donât know if your family plans to hold a wedding, but Iâm certain it wonât compare to Gu Ziâs. Su Shen gave her a betrothal gift worth more than 8,000 yuan.â
This revelation shocked Lin Miao, who grabbed Gong Xinâs hand in disbelief. Her face twisted with anger. âWhat? How could Su Shen have given Gu Zi such a lavish betrothal gift?â
Feeling deeply insulted, Lin Miao couldnât comprehend why she had been treated so differently from Gu Zi. She was only given 3,000 yuan, her wedding was far less elaborate, and there were no prominent figures in attendance. Lin Miao couldnât fathom why she wasnât treated as well as Gu Zi.
She began to suspect that Su Shen held a grudge against her for not marrying him in the countryside, allowing Gu Zi to take advantage of her.
Gong Xin found herself dealing with an irate Lin Miao and pushed her hand away before returning to the private room.
Despite the fact that Lin Miao was soon to become Mrs. Gong, she couldnât find peace at night. She paced back and forth in her house, ultimately calling MO Liâs home. She couldnât bear to be alone.
âGong Zhan and I are getting married. MO Li, I really donât know how to thank you,â Lin Miao boasted to MO Li over the phone.
âCongratulations, but Iâm still Mr. Gongâs secretary, right?â MO Li inquired.
Lin Miao was in a cheerful mood. âOf course, you still have something over me. What can I do for you?â
MO Li wore a knowing smile. âThatâs true. Itâs good that youâre aware of that. I wonât have any designs on Gong Zhan in the future, but you have to help me keep my job as a secretary. I need this position so that I can meet other high -quality men. â
Lin Miao was skeptical of MO Liâs intentions. âDo you think Iâll believe you?â
MO Li realized that Lin Miao was onto her plans. However, for the time being, she only wanted to remain close to Gong Zhan. Once a romantic relationship began, it would be challenging to break away.
Of course, she was only telling Lin Miao that she didnât have any designs on Gong Zhan. She wasnât someone who would give up easily.
âWhat can I do if you donât believe me?â she tried to speak in a calm tone. âMrs. Gong, have a good nightâs rest.â
MO Li hung up the phone first. She then pushed all the items on the table onto the floor and let out a hysterical howl.
This time, MO Li had acted too hastily and made a mistake. Instead of helping herself, she had inadvertently given Lin Miao a wedding dress. However, this didnât mean she had lost the battle.
MO Li had acquired knowledge about Gu Zi and Gong Zhanâs previous relationship and understood Gong Zhanâs schedule. She had astutely realized that mimicking Gu Zits appearance and dressing would help lower Gong Zhanâs guard and facilitate her approach to him.
During that day at the office, MO Li had almost succeeded. From the very beginning, Gong Zhan had mistaken her for Gu Zi.
He had pressed her down, kissed her, touched her, and even referred to her as Gu Zi, asking if she wanted to give herself to him.
âIâll give it to you as long as you want it.â Though her tone might not have been a perfect match, this sentence had triggered a realization in Gong Zhanâs mind that he didnât desire her..
