Chapter 1184: Going Back To Guangcheng

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi choked back sobs as she listened to Li Hua’s situation over the phone. Her voice, usually steady, trembled with helplessness.

Thousands of miles away in a foreign land, she could do nothing but ache from afar. Even if she boarded a plane that very instant, it would be like pouring a cup of water onto a blazing inferno—utterly useless. The suffering Li Hua was enduring had to be borne alone, and Gu Zi’s heart twisted with pain. How could she not feel wretched?

Su Shen, too, understood that the situation had gone far beyond the mere issue of five thousand yuan. It was no longer just a matter of compensation. If this wasn’t handled properly, it wouldn’t be only Li Hua who would suffer—the entire Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop business the two women had built together was at stake. They couldn’t allow themselves to be manipulated.

And so, before hanging up the phone, Su Shen gave Jin Long a clear instruction. "Hold the situation down for now—whatever happens, don’t admit we’re paying them a cent."

Watching Gu Zi’s anguish, Su Shen felt as if a blade had been driven through his own chest. The pain in her eyes mirrored his own.

"Gu Zi," he said softly, "we can’t do anything from this far away. That’s probably exactly why the Gu family dared to go after Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop—they knew we weren’t in Guangcheng. I’m sorry to make you go through this, but I think we need to head back."

Gu Zi was momentarily stunned.

"But it’s such a long journey. By the time we get there, wouldn’t it be too late? And what about the children?" she asked, worried.

"The train would take too long, yes," Su Shen replied calmly. "But the plane won’t. We can take a flight back. As for the children, we’ll ask Chen Yu and his wife to help look after them for a few days. That can be arranged. Right now, the most urgent thing is to deal with what’s happening at Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop."

Suddenly, Gu Zi felt foolish. Of course—there were airplanes. In her distress, she had forgotten the obvious. Flying would eliminate both time and distance, and while plane tickets were pricey in this day and age, their finances could easily afford them now. Su Shen had his channels too.

As for the three children, the Gao family next door already had their hands full, and Gao Ming was practically living at the Su household. There was no way the Gaos had the bandwidth to help out. Entrusting the children to Sun Yi, however—that was a decision she could be completely at ease with.

She nodded, determination returning to her eyes. "Let’s do it your way."

Gu Zi blinked. The speed at which Su Shen and the Chen family had mobilized was impressive.

"Thank you," she said with genuine gratitude. "This really was all very sudden."

Chen Xi waved it off with a grin. "No need to be polite! You’ve no idea how happy I was to hear the news. Ever since my brother pissed off my sister-in-law, the tension in our house has been unbearable. I’ve been the one getting the brunt of their moods every day. Now, with the kids staying at our place, they won’t dare argue in front of them. They’ve even arranged for a nanny just to take care of the kids. Finally, I can enjoy a little peace and quiet!"

He shrugged dramatically, clearly relishing the reprieve. Sure, the kids were a bit rambunctious—but they were also genuinely adorable.

After spending time with the Su family children, Chen Xi found he no longer harbored his usual disdain for kids. In fact, little Su Le—those big eyes, round cheeks, and milky white skin—looked just like a sticky rice dumpling. She was so cute, it was almost dangerous.

Seeing how enthusiastic Chen Xi was about taking the children, Gu Zi felt reassured. She gave him a few last-minute reminders.

"I really appreciate all of this. Just a few things to keep in mind—Su Bing is incredibly capable, but his mood can swing like a pendulum. Make sure the nanny doesn’t push him too hard or get too close. He can handle everything on his own—completely self-sufficient."
