Chapter 690: Stab a Knife in the Wound

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After finishing his words, Su Li turned and walked away. The little girl, whose chubby hands clung to her elder brother’s shoulders, followed her second brother’s example and stuck her tongue out at the two strangers outside.

The action incensed Gu Shan, causing a painful swell in his chest. He glared and demanded, “Gu Zi, what do you mean by that?”

Gu Zi smirked, replying with a laugh, “Exactly what it sounds like. They are my children, and I won’t allow anyone to tarnish their reputation. They are all my good children.”

“But Uncle Gu,” she continued, “did you come here today specifically to remind me to educate my children properly? Or are you suggesting that Lin Miao has been behaving well in prison and is due for early release?”

The man standing next to Gu Shan revealed a hint of shock in his eyes. Gu Zi’s words were like a poisoned dagger, bringing up Lin Miao’s imprisonment was akin to twisting a knife in Gu Shan’s wound.

He had seen Gu Zi many times before. She was a smart and beautiful girl, the pride of the Gu family. Her presence not only brought honor to the family but also numerous benefits.

Gu Zi was highly valued, which was why they had been willing to spend a large sum of money to send her to a foreign language primary school.

She was also very kind to people, so he had never expected her to be so adept and precise at belittling others. He didn’t approve of his sister and brother-in-law’s behavior, but he couldn’t voice his disapproval, especially since he needed Gu Shan’s help.

At this point, Gu Shan’s face had darkened even more. If it weren’t for Gu Zi’s insistence on pursuing the matter, Lin Miao wouldn’t have had to go to prison, and the Gu and Gong families wouldn’t have lost face. But the matter was settled, and further discussion was pointless.

He changed the subject, reproaching her, “Don’t bring that up again. But when I come here, is it really such an incomprehensible act? After all, I raised you for over a decade. You moved without even notifying us, making it difficult for us to find you.”
