Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680: Today’s Kindness

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing that the woman hailed from Daqing Village, Gu Shan was relieved. His destination, Little Lin Village, was just beyond Daqing. He found it hard to refuse the plea of such a young woman, especially given her pitiful state. She had just been cast out by her fiancé, her eyes red from crying.

Gu Shan looked at her, alone and helpless on the broken road outside the city. What if she encountered danger? If he didn’t assist her, if he didn’t offer her a ride home, could he still call himself a man?

He couldn’t help but feel fortunate that Zhang Mei, a woman who always seemed to be in the way, was not present. With a gentlemanly air, he invited the young woman into his car. As she expressed her gratitude, bowing and thanking him profusely, Gu Shan’s vanity was greatly satisfied. He felt like a hero. If he hadn’t appeared today, what would have become of this girl?

What he didn’t know was that while the woman appeared pitiful, her mind was far from it. The moment she saw his car earlier, she had begun to calculate.

Although she had indeed been cast out by her fiancé, Chang Sheng, and had truly cried, she knew she had to find a way out for herself. As she rested by the road, pondering her future, she hadn’t expected a solution to present itself so readily.

She observed that the man was well-dressed. His shoes were a bit worn, but they seemed to be a brand-name pair, something the villagers could hardly afford with a year’s income. He had come from the city, driving a small car, clearly a man of status. He was older, perhaps even older than Chang Sheng, but that didn’t matter.

She was looking for a man who could provide her with a stable life. She believed this man was of higher status than Chang Sheng. Previously, because of a dispute over a braised pork recipe, she had been tricked by Su Jing, leading to a significant setback. Chang Sheng had called her a jinx, unfit to marry. Despite her pleas, Chang Sheng and his mother refused to let her back into their home.

This time, she had come with hope, intending to plead with them one last time. If they still refused, she would find another way. However, the shameless mother and son not only drove her out but also demanded half of the red envelope money they had given her over the years. The ten yuan she had brought with her was gone in an instant. She was angry, resentful, and helpless. Without money for a ride, she had no choice but to walk back to the village.
