Chapter 503: Why Did You Come Back Again?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi gazed at Su Jing, only now truly grasping the reality that Su Jing and Su Shen were siblings.
Perhaps it was due to Su Shen’s personality, but often, he and Su Jing didn’t seem like siblings at all, even lacking the closeness one would expect from kin. However, at this moment, Gu Zi noticed their similarities, a certain wickedness inherent in their nature. The difference was that Su Shen hid it well.
No one is perfect, not even the best of people. It’s impossible to always be upright and positive. Take Su Shen, for example. Initially, Gu Zi thought he was a good man, a very good man indeed.
But as she got to know him better, she gradually understood that he had merely chosen righteousness, rather than being innately righteous. The wickedness within him was the essence of his personal charm, the key to his business success.
Of course, wickedness did not equate to evil.
Gu Zi pondered for a moment, picked up a pen, and wrote down a recipe for a marinade. After reading it over, she couldn’t help but frown. It was bound to taste terrible. She put the pen down, looked at Su Jing, and warned, “Here you go. I guarantee it will taste awful. But if you add anything to it on your own and something goes wrong, don’t say it was my recipe. You’ll have to take responsibility.”
Su Jing quickly folded the paper and tucked it into her pocket. Her lips quivered slightly, caught off guard by Gu Zi’s insight. She retorted, “Sister-in-law, you’re a bit sly. I hadn’t thought of that, but now that you mention it, it seems like a good idea.”
In fact, she had already planned to add a laxative to the recipe to cure Li Li’s greed. It wouldn’t cause any serious problems, and if they were to sell the marinated meat, they would certainly taste it first. The thought of the entire family rushing to the bathroom was a rather amusing image.
Ignoring her, Gu Zi turned to her tasks, and Su Jing followed. Seeing the pile of coal in the kitchen and the coal burning in the stove, she exclaimed, “Sister-in-law, you’re so wasteful!”
Gu Zi placed the milk and bird’s nest in the steamer, replying, “I may be wasteful, but you’re not. I’ll remove the coal, and you can burn firewood. Just remember, you can stay as long as you like, but you have to help with the chores.”
Su Jing’s lips curled into a smile, trying to appease Gu Zi. “Whatever you say, sister-in-law. Everyone knows you’re the queen of the Su family. But let’s not remove the coal, shall we?”
