Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 877

Chapter 877: Our Commander’s Wife

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The guard stood his ground, a sneer playing on his lips. The woman before him was supposedly the wife of a battalion commander, yet she lacked any semblance of grace or dignity. How did the commander end up marrying such a shortsighted woman? No wonder he remained a mere battalion commander at his age, clearly lacking discernment. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Zhang Mei entered the ward, her eyes landing on Gong Zhan. She didn’t even bother to check on her son-in-law’s condition before launching into her complaints.

“Gong Zhan,” she began, “I am, after all, Lin Miao’s mother, your mother-in-law. I’m nearly driven to death by that wretched girl, Gu Zi. How could she behave like this? Taking advantage of Lin Miao’s imprisonment, she has the audacity to come here pretending to be your wife, blatantly trying to steal another woman’s husband. You cannot let her continue this way!”

Madam Chen had taken Gong Xin out to meet some guests, leaving Gong Zhan with a moment of peace. However, the moment Zhang Mei arrived, the chaos resumed, her incessant chatter giving him a headache. Moreover, she dared to bring up Gu Zi, spouting nonsense about Gu Zi pretending to be his wife. He had always thought that Gu Zi couldn’t let go of him, that everything she did was to get closer to him. This was already embarrassing enough, and now Zhang Mei was bringing it up again.

Gong Zhan’s expression gradually darkened, his voice low as he admonished her, “Enough! If you continue, we’ll only end up disgracing ourselves. Gu Zi has never pretended to be my wife here. She came here for someone else. We haven’t even met face to face. Watch your words in the future, or don’t blame me for asking you to leave!”

After Gong Zhan finished speaking, a pang of pain shot through his heart. By now, everyone in the capital’s military district knew about the loving relationship between Gu Zi and Su Shen. Gu Zi’s journey of a thousand miles to find her husband had become a popular tale. He wished that Gu Zi still had feelings for him, but it was too late. Gu Zi had no affection for him anymore; her heart was entirely with Su Shen.

However, Zhang Mei interpreted his words differently. Her son-in-law had just scolded her for Gu Zi’s sake. Was he protecting Gu Zi too much? Then what about her daughter?

Lin Miao was his wife, yet he had never defended her like this. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
