Chapter 671: She Really Doesn’t Love You

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gong Xin looked at Gong Zhan with an expression that likened him to a fool, which infuriated him.

“You still don’t understand Gu Zi,” he said, his voice filled with frustration. “She’s a cunning woman.”

“You may not have thought of it, but she certainly has. By getting close to my mentor, Master Gao, she’s trying to worm her way back into my life. Do you really think a proud woman like Gu Zi would be content to spend her life with a pig butcher?”

Gong Xin was taken aback, her mouth agape. She wanted to retort immediately, but felt powerless. Her brother’s narcissism had clearly reached its peak. She spoke again, her tone somewhat pale, “Brother, you might be underestimating Gu Zi’s husband. I heard from Jin Long that he, like you, was a soldier. If he hadn’t retired, his achievements in the army would probably not be inferior to yours.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I think Gu Zi quite likes Su Shen. She doesn’t look down on him as much as you think. Perhaps, this is just your own perception.

“As for Gu Zi, it’s true that she used to be infatuated with you. But now, anyone with clear eyes can see that it’s not the case anymore. Speaking of Master Gao, Gu Zi probably doesn’t even know who your mentor is. Uncle Yang, don’t you agree?”

Uncle Yang had long agreed with Gong Xin’s words. He applauded her in his heart. When Gong Xin asked him, he didn’t hesitate to respond, “Miss is right. Young Master, there’s no need to think so ill of Miss Gu Zi. She’s a good person.”

Gong Zhan saw that both of them were defending Gu Zi, his gaze suddenly turned cold. “Do you both think I’m deluding myself?”

Gong Xin didn’t indulge her elder brother. “You are deluding yourself. You’re imagining that Gu Zi still has feelings for you. But brother, let me tell you the truth. Gu Zi returned to the city for work.

“She got a position at the Guangcheng Newspaper. It’s very convenient for her to go from Jifu New Village to the Guangcheng Newspaper office. Maybe she lives there just for the convenience of work.

“Anyway, you should stop deceiving yourself and stop wronging Gu Zi. Your words are damaging to her reputation. If you want to divorce Lin Miao, I won’t object.

“Lin Miao is indeed not worthy of being our Gong family’s daughter-in-law. But you should forget about Gu Zi. She really doesn’t love you anymore. Find someone else and forget her. Be obedient.”

As Gong Xin spoke, she observed her brother’s changing expressions. He looked puzzled, and Gong Xin understood. Gong Zhan really didn’t know about Gu Zi’s new job.

He only knew that Gu Zi had returned to the city and started to assume that she still loved him. His heart began to stir again.

As she continued speaking, Gong Xin felt a bit of pity. The man in front of her was, after all, her brother. His face turned noticeably ugly upon hearing the truth, unable to hide his feelings. Gong Xin thought that her brother probably regretted not holding onto Gu Zi, but his pride prevented him from admitting his regret.

But whether he admitted it or not didn’t matter. He and Gu Zi were destined to miss each other. He was destined to lose Gu Zi. Thinking about this, Gong Xin couldn’t help but sigh, patting her elder brother’s shoulder in a comforting manner.

When the car arrived at the Gong family’s gate, Gong Xin, carrying a few gift boxes, got out first. Gong Zhan, who had just learned the truth about Gu Zi’s return to the city, seemed to be still in shock. He sat in the back seat of the car, not getting out for a long time. Uncle Yang, seeing his daze, didn’t have the heart to rush him, silently keeping him company…

As the night deepened, the moon hung high in the sky over Little Lin Village, its light illuminating the country roads.

Lin Cheng and his wife, Li Hua, got off the truck. After Lin Cheng locked the truck, they walked side by side into the red brick house. Nowadays, the pig farm’s truck was driven by Lin Cheng. Naturally, when the truck wasn’t needed for public use, it became the Lin family’s vehicle.

Now, whether Lin Cheng was picking up Li Hua from town or traveling around the village, having this truck made everything much more convenient. Sometimes, when the pig farm’s employees needed to transport some personal goods, they would ask Lin Cheng for help. He was always willing to assist without putting on any airs.

Therefore, no one at the pig farm objected to Lin Cheng driving the truck or having the right to use it.

Even if Lin Cheng didn’t work at the pig farm, considering that he was Gu Zi’s brother, it would be reasonable for Su Shen to let him drive the truck. It wasn’t up to outsiders to say anything.

Mother Lin and her husband hadn’t gone to bed yet. Seeing their son and daughter-in-law return, Mother Lin hurried to heat up the evening’s meal. Lin Lao’er, leaning against the wall, greeted them in the main room.
