Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The incident involving Lin Miao was far from a simple matter of disgracing the Gu and Gong families. Gu Shan was on the verge of a promotion, a time when any mishap could jeopardize his chances. Yet, here they were, embroiled in this scandalous affair. It was a disaster.
“Will this affect your promotion?” Zhang Mei asked her husband, the gravity of the situation only just dawning on her. The sky seemed to be falling. Gu Shan had been waiting for a promotion for years, and this golden opportunity could not be lost.
Gu Shan waved his hand, his face etched with distress. “Enough,” he said, “Let’s first understand the situation, then we’ll figure out a solution. We cannot let this incident affect my promotion.”
After leaving the police station, Su Shen and Gu Zi went to have lunch and then visited Papa Lin in the hospital. They also informed him and his wife about the events that had transpired at the banquet.
Gu Zi found it difficult to continue when she began to recount the hardships
Lin Miao had endured in the Lin family for over a decade. Seeing her struggle, Su Shen took over, relaying the painful details. Gu Zi didn’t stop him. As heart-wrenching as the story was, Gu Zit s parents needed to hear it.
“I think it’s important for you to understand what kind of person Lin Miao is,” Su Shen told his in-laws.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zits parents merely smiled and shook their heads. They understood Su Shen’s intentions. “We have long since disowned Lin Miao,” they said.
Su Shen continued, “The police will likely come to take statements tomorrow. Think about what you want to say. It’s best to lay everything out so this matter can be settled.”
Gu Zi’s parents exchanged a glance. Mother Lin spoke, “That’s fine. Once this is over, we should sever all ties with them. There’s no need for any further contact.” This applied to both the Gu family and Lin Miao.
Fearing that Gu Zi’s parents might not be able to handle any unexpected situations the next day, Su Shen and Gu Zi decided to stay the night in the hospital’s family room.
