Chapter 764: Just Pretend I Never Came
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In her heart, Gu Zi wanted to caution against the young nanny. Wasn’t it strange to Zhang Mei? Gu Shan spent his days in the military, where would he meet a young woman from the countryside?
However, Gu Zi held her tongue. Zhang Mei was a woman prone to suspicion. Even if Gu Zi told her the truth, she might not believe it, let alone appreciate it. Gu Zi decided not to meddle in this matter, it was best to keep her thoughts to herself.
Zhang Mei, noticing Gu Zi’s prolonged silence, grew anxious. “Have you noticed something amiss?” she asked.
Gu Zi, having decided not to involve herself in this matter, simply shook her head with a smile. “If you haven’t noticed anything wrong, Auntie, how could I? Perhaps you should find a time to talk to Gong Zhan. After all, he should call Gu Shan ‘father-in-law’. He could help keep an eye on things.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mei’s face fell. Gu Zi was still interested in Lin Miao’s man. She berated herself for seeking Gu Zi’s help. How could she expect Gu Zi to help her now, when she was no longer part of the Gu family?
“Oh, Gu Zi, what are you saying? You’re a married woman, how could you go to Gong Zhan? But I’m to blame for this, I was too anxious. I just wanted to talk to you, it’s always better to talk things out. I feel much better now, Gu Zi, you don’t need to worry about this. Let’s just pretend I never came today.”
Gu Zi tilted her head slightly, seeking confirmation. “Auntie, you came to me about this, not to ask for my help? I almost misunderstood. Are you sure you don’t need my help?”
As Zhang Mei was saying her goodbyes, she waved her hand dismissively. “No need, no need. Look at you, you have a child to take care of, you can’t be bothered with all this. Your Uncle Gu and I have been married for many years, we have a basic level of trust. I’ll be going now…”
Gu Zi watched Zhang Mei’s hurried departure, shrugging helplessly. “Auntie, you’re the one who said you didn’t need my help. Lele, let’s go inside.”
Gu Zi led Su Le into the courtyard.
