Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon - Chapter 670: For My Gu Zi

Chapter 670: For My Gu Zi

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under the cloak of night, a man and woman hand in hand entered the house within the courtyard. It was only then that Gong Zhan came back to his senses. A flicker of disdain crossed his eyes as he turned and climbed into his car.

Uncle Yang had no idea what kind of scenery had captivated the young master of his household for so long, but he didn’t plan to inquire further. He started the car and drove away.

Halfway through their journey, Uncle Yang abruptly halted the car. He called out to the figure outside, “Miss, what are you doing out here? Hurry up and get in the car. Let’s go home together.”

Late into the night, Uncle Yang was surprised to see Miss Gong Xin still outside. Gong Xin, although grown up, was still the young lady of the Gong family. She had always adhered to a strict curfew since childhood, and it was rare to see her out so late.

Without asking the young master in the back seat, Uncle Yang stopped the car and beckoned Gong Xin to get in. Upon hearing that it was his sister, Gong Zhan didn’t say anything. He silently shifted inside the car, making room for her.

The next moment, the car door swung open. Before Gong Xin could climb in, several large gift boxes were tossed into the car. Gong Zhan turned to her with a displeased expression, “Not only are you wandering around late at night, but you’re also spending money recklessly. When did you come into wealth?”

Gong Xin climbed into the car, and Uncle Yang resumed driving. She looked at her elder brother, who was always lecturing her, and felt tired. She retorted, “I didn’t spend the family’s money. These are housewarming gifts for Gu Zi, bought with my own two months’ salary. It’s none of your business.”

Gong Xin had run into Jin Long today. From him, she learned about Gu Zi’s recent activities, which surprised her at first, but then seemed reasonable.

As Gu Zi’s close friend, she didn’t care how Gu Zi had managed to move into that neighborhood, nor did she care that Jin Long had run back and forth between the village and the city twice today. She immediately dragged Jin Long to the mall to pick out housewarming gifts for Gu Zi. Since they had entered the mall in the evening, she had returned late.

What was even more unfortunate was that she had run into her brother, Gong Zhan, and was scolded by him. She was not pleased and naturally didn’t want Gong Zhan to be happy either. She quickly changed the subject and continued smugly, “By the way, Gu Zi has moved back to the city. Her man is quite capable, you know. He got her a place in Jifu New Village!”

Gong Zhan snorted coldly, “Who knows what kind of underhanded methods she used to move in there. You should think about it. Can a butcher afford a house in the old district of Jifu New Village?

“And even if she has moved, why are you telling me? I have no interest in knowing about her. Her self-degradation and roundabout retention have nothing to do with me.”

Gong Xin was somewhat surprised, “How do you know Gu Zi is in the old district? Brother, you wouldn’t still be secretly paying attention to my good friend Gu Zi, would you? And I didn’t say she had anything to do with you. You seem quite agitated every time she’s mentioned, and you talk so much more.”

Gong Zhan’s face grew colder. He thought his foolish sister was truly unreasonable. Did he need to secretly pay attention to that woman, Gu Zi?

It was clear that she still had designs on him! “How could I possibly be secretly paying attention to her? Why don’t you say that she’s deliberately getting close to me? She’s now living next to Teacher Gao’s house. Why do you think that is?”

Upon hearing Gong Zhan’s words, not only was Gong Xin speechless, but so was Uncle Yang, who was driving the car. Uncle Yang finally understood.

The young master Gong Zhan had stood there for so long, not to admire the scenery, but probably because he had seen Miss Gu Zi. Was it a coincidence that Miss Gu Zi’s new home was next to the former leader’s house? What a coincidence indeed.

However, Uncle Yang believed this was purely coincidental. Gu Zi was a child of good character and was not a fickle person.

Now that she was someone else’s wife, she couldn’t possibly still be longing for her former lover, Gong Zhan. Uncle Yang believed she was a child who could let go.

What made Uncle Yang frown, however, was that young master Gong Zhan clearly didn’t think so. He was still stubbornly arguing with Miss Gong Xin. Uncle Yang felt helpless, but he knew that Miss Gong Xin was not a person to back down. Letting Miss Gong Xin argue with young master Gong Zhan was a way to treat the young master’s narcissism. He certainly wouldn’t interfere.

Gong Xin thought her brother’s thinking was outrageous. She retorted, “You can’t possibly think that Gu Zi hasn’t let go of you, so she deliberately moved next to your former leader and mentor, Teacher Gao, can you?

“Brother, how can you convince yourself of such an outrageous idea and even express it?”
