Mrs. Chen patted her daughter under the table. Youve been spoiled by us. Look at how obedient Lin Miao is.
Gong Xin followed Ms. Chens 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. Dont stand on ceremony. Let Gong Zhan foot the bill today.
Ms. Chen didnt have strong objections to the idea of changing wives.
Since Lin Miao was the biological daughter of the Gu family, and her son hadnt shown affection for Gu Zi after all these years, she accepted the situation.
The top priority now was to expedite her sons marriage so that he could start a family soon.
Lin Miao put down her teacup and spoke softly, Actually, Ive 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. Id like to enjoy it more.
Many people regarded drinking tea as an elegant pastime. Lin Miaos 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 didnt 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 Miaos true nature couldnt help but feel sympathy for her.
Mrs. Chen said, I feel sorry for you. Youre clearly a young lady from a well-off family, yet you had to grow up in a remote mountain village. Its only natural that you felt out of place.
Gong Zhans father added, Once you marry into our family, you can enjoy all the finest tea you desire. Well 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. Isnt this a bit embarrassing for me? She continued, Im not bitter about what happened. At least Im 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.
Lets not talk about this anymore. Lets 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, Lets 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 didnt 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 didnt say a few words in response, it might reflect poorly on their family.
She responded with a smile, Thats indeed great news. Now each of you will have your own home and be happy.
Lin Miao readily agreed, saying, Yes, its 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 dont think my sisters request is too much. Can you fulfill her wish?o
Upon hearing this, everyones 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 fianc 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 couldnt remember Gu Zi mentioning this.
But they couldnt 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 werent paying attention. After all, there were many members of the Lin family present that day.
Lin Miao observed her parents and Gong Zhans reactions. Her parents wouldnt think that she was lying.
Gong Zhans 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. Youre both getting married. and such
an arrangement isnt very appropriate. You shouldnt agree to it..
