Chapter 834: No News
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Mei quickly made up her mind. She needed to find an opportunity to undermine Gu Zi, lest Gu Zi completely overshadow her beloved daughter, Lin Miao.
However, in the blink of an eye, she ran into an acquaintance. Mrs. Chen and her daughter, Gong Xin, were also dining in the restaurant, enjoying the braised meat. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Could it be that Mrs. Chen was still considering Gu Zi as a potential daughter-in-law?
Zhang Mei didn’t have time to ponder. She excused herself from her colleagues and approached Mrs. Chen, “What a coincidence, we meet again in Gu Zi’s restaurant. I just arrived.”
Mrs. Chen and her daughter were enjoying the restaurant’s signature dish when they saw Zhang Mei approaching. Their smiles faded in unison. Mrs. Chen responded politely, “It’s a small town, we’re bound to run into each other. Have you ordered yet?”
Gong Xin pursed her lips, “I don’t think Aunt Zhang is here to eat. In her eyes, only her biological daughter, Lin Miao, matters. She doesn’t care about her adopted daughter, Gu Zi. Poor Gu Zi, already struggling with three children, and now her husband is away. If she’s bullied, she won’t have anyone to stand up for her.”
Mrs. Chen, seeing her daughter’s straightforwardness, twitched her lips and gently reprimanded her, “You’re being disrespectful, child. Don’t interrupt when adults are talking. Don’t take it to heart, Zhang Mei. Gong Xin is just joking. Why don’t you join us before you order?”
Despite her words, Mrs. Chen agreed with her daughter’s sentiments. She had long noticed Zhang Mei’s opportunistic nature. However, Gu Zi’s exceptional qualities had initially overshadowed these minor flaws. Now that Gu Zi was no longer a potential daughter-in-law, these flaws seemed magnified in Mrs. Chen’s eyes, impossible to ignore.
Mrs. Chen understood her daughter’s words were a veiled warning to Zhang Mei, suspecting she was here to take advantage of Gu Zi’s hospitality.
