Su Shen noticed her lightly dressed and said, “It’s windy today. Go inside and grab a jacket. When riding the motorcycle, it’ll help to shield you from the wind.”

Gu Zi was pushed by Su Shen to go inside to fetch some clothes. His large hands were placed on her back, his tall stature providing her with a sense of security, and she could not help but snicker.

Just then, a car stopped outside the Lin family’s new house. Lin Miao looked through the car window and could not hide the jealousy in his eyes.

The courtyard of the brand-new red brick house was spacious and bright. The courtyard was filled with dried chili peppers and corn seeds, red and yellow. It was all very eye-catching.

They had come here after asking for directions. Initially hearing that Su Shen had given a house to the Lin family, she had assumed it was a typical old-style rural house. She hadn’t expected it to be this nice.

Su Shen was really generous with Gu Zi. He had never been so generous when she married him in her previous life.

Gu Zi had taken her place and claimed all of her luck. How could she let her get away with it?

However, she clearly remembered that in her previous life, Su Shen wasn’t this wealthy during this period. Previously, due to an outbreak of swine fever at the pig farm, he had lost quite a bit of money and had limited cash on hand.

Could he have borrowed money to buy this house just to save face?

Lin Miao felt that she had seen too many people who appeared wealthy but were actually burdened with debts during the later stages of her previous life.

As for those in official positions, it was different. Although they might not seem as wealthy, they had stability. They might even have more cash on hand than those doing business.

With this thought, Lin Miao found herself happier and seeing more of a prince charming in Gong Zhan.

So what if Su Shen was wealthy? Being with him wouldn’t lead to a good ending. He was no match for Gong Zhan.

The two of them alighted from the car, and Lin Miao walked proudly beside Gong Zhan.

When they entered the Lin family’s courtyard, they encountered Gu Zi and Su Shen.

Lin Miao and Gong Zhan were both briefly surprised. What were Gu Zi and Su Shen doing at the Lin family’s house?

Lin Miao felt that it was just right. It saved her the trouble of making another trip. She took the initiative to hold Gong Zhan’s hand, and Gong Zhan surprisingly did not push her away.

“So Sister is here. No wonder Lin Cheng slandered me yesterday. Gong Zhan, do you think Sister feels guilty about what she has done?” she said with grievance.

She was hinting to Gong Zhan that Gu Zi was the one who instigated Lin Cheng to find trouble with her yesterday, not that she had lied.

Gong Zhan’s pupils slightly darkened as he stared at Gu Zi. She appeared very intimate with this rural man.

Could she be this close to any man? He had thought she was only like this with him—disgusting!

He said to Gu Zi, “Since the instigator is here, it saves us the trouble. Gu Zi, you’ll have to give an explanation to Lin Miao.”

Seeing Gong Zhan’s unfriendly gaze, Su Shen shielded Gu Zi beside him and spoke in a stern tone, “My fiancée doesn’t need to explain anything. If you want to cause trouble, we’ll settle this another day. We’re busy today.”

Gu Zi pursed her lips; she had no intention of engaging with the original host’s ex-fiancé from the past. She couldn’t help but look admiringly at Su Shen—so handsome, such a macho man! She just couldn’t resist a macho man.

There was no expression on the man’s face; his cold and compelling gaze made people afraid to look directly at him.

Gong Zhan felt uncomfortable. How could a rural man have such an aura? Indeed, as Zhang Mei said, he might be overacting the role of a big shot.

Gong Zhan failed to understand one thing: standing next to Su Shen, who had been nurtured on the battlefield, as someone raised in a wealthy family, he appeared shallow and immature.

Gong Zhan was unwilling to be suppressed by this rural roughneck. He pretended to be calm and said, “I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to her.” Gu Zi did not want her wedding dress to be delayed, so she pulled Su Shen.

Gu Zi didn’t want her perfect day for choosing a wedding dress to be disrupted. She tugged on Su Shen’s arm and then said to Gong Zhan, “Lin Cheng didn’t slander her. Whether you believe it or not, I don’t care. But don’t delay our wedding DreDaration. Interfering in someone’s marriage might invoke divine punishment!”

Yesterday, Lin Cheng and Li Hua had told Gu Zi about the incident. Gu Zi didn’t feel Lin Cheng had done anything wrong. Lin Miao had indeed disappointed the Lin family’s affection, which was infuriating.

But Lin Cheng had happened to encounter Gong Zhan’s family there.

Gu Zi felt it was probably divine justice exposing Lin Miao’s deceit on the spot. That Lin Miao was just acting all along.

This Gong Zhan was also mentally ill. How could he believe Lin Miao’s clumsy acting skills?

Lin Miao didn’t expect Gu Zi to speak to Gong Zhan this way, and she noticed that Gu Zi didn’t seem to care when she saw Lin Miao and Gong Zhan holding hands..
