Chapter 880: Deliberately Hiding
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi had not anticipated that Su Bing would understand her actions so well. Indeed, as he had said, Gu Zi preferred to deal with her enemies in a way that would not tarnish her reputation. When her enemies became as agitated as rabid dogs, she preferred to watch from the sidelines rather than confront them head-on, allowing the mad dogs to bark at her, causing her distress and damaging her reputation.
Now that Zhang Mei was causing such a commotion, she likely knew of Su Shen’s identity. Upon seeing him, she would undoubtedly approach with a face full of flattery, so fake that it was irritating. She would likely bring up the favor of raising her, and while it was true that the Gu family had raised the original host for eighteen years, even if they had behaved poorly afterwards, that favor could not be erased. Therefore, Gu Zi could not always argue with her directly.
At this moment, avoiding her was the best option. However, Su Li, having heard what his brother said, still did not understand. As soon as he entered the sickroom, he ran to Su Shen in a huff to complain, “Dad, the person who bullied mom is blocking the door, and mom doesn’t dare to enter through the main entrance!”
Upon hearing this, Su Shen knew who it was. He looked at Gu Zi with a pained expression and made a direct suggestion, “If Zhang Mei continues to trouble you, I think it would be best to have someone from the army escort her away. If you agree, I can give the order.” Although he was preparing to resign and leave the army, it was still an easy task to send someone away before his resignation.
However, upon hearing this, Gu Zi shook her head. She walked over and affectionately ruffled her younger son’s hair, saying, “Oh, you, you do have a knack for exaggerating things. Mom isn’t scared, I just don’t want to deal with her. Su Shen, you don’t need to interfere in this matter either. My foster mother is just one person, she’s not worth your command, let her be.”
Su Shen frowned slightly, surprised at how troublesome Zhang Mei was proving to be. However, since Gu Zi had said not to bother with her, Su Shen, of course, listened to his wife. He pulled Gu Zi over and responded warmly, “Alright, we won’t bother with her. After all, I’ll be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.”
When Gu Zi had entered earlier, Mo Li had happened to step out and saw Gu Zi entering through a side door. She also saw Zhang Mei still being blocked outside. Mo Li instantly understood what was happening. A sinister smile tugged at the corner of her mouth as she ran out in feigned panic, as if she was very worried about Zhang Mei. As soon as she got close, she grabbed Zhang Mei’s hand.
