As night fell, Lin Laoyao decided to find a guesthouse in town to spend the night. His plan was to head directly to the city’s grand courtyard the next day to find Lin Miao.

His son was at the police station, and Lin Laoyao knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep well even if he returned home. So, he decided not to go back.

Over at the Su family residence, Su Shen had just returned from dropping off Lin Cheng and the others back at Little Lin Village. Gu Zi was waiting for him at the entrance, ready to accompany him upstairs.

“Why are you standing out here in the cold wind?” Su Shen asked, removing his coat and draping it over Gu Zi.

Gu Zi took his wrist and leaned her face slightly into his chest, saying, “Lele is asleep. I was waiting for you, so I cdown to see if you’d chome.”

After they went upstairs, Gu Zi waited for him in bed. After he had taken a shower, they shared a long kiss before falling asleep in each other’s arms.

The next morning, Gu Zi woke up early. She prepared breakfast for the two brothers and packed their lunch boxes. Then, she started making crucian carp soup.

She cleaned two crucian carps and heated soil in a pan. She then fried the fish until both sides were golden brown.

After the fish was fried, she quickly crushed the fish meat with a spatula, added diced tomatoes, and stir-fried them until they were sandy. Finally, she added water, pure milk, ginger slices, and ssimple seasonings, and continued to simmer over low heat.

By the tSu Bing and the others had finished their breakfast and brought their bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, a pot of rich and fragrant fish soup was ready.

Su Li looked at it with envy, but he knew that the soup was made by his mother for his grandfather to supplement his nutrition. He had to resist the temptation to eat it.

Seeing his little envious eyes, Gu Zi understood and served two bowls for Su Bing and Su Li, saying, “You can each have a bowl. Don’t worry, there’s enough soup.”

Su Bing and Su Li accepted the bowls and enjoyed the hot fish soup. After washing their bowls, they rode their bikes to school. They had agreed with their mother to visit their grandfather after school.

Gu Zi filled a thermos with half a pot of crucian carp soup and added two small dishes. After everything was prepared, she set off for the city hospital.

Su Shen had to return to the pig farm to work after breakfast, so Gu Zi had to take the bus.

Along the way, Gu Zi encountered many people and heard a lot of discussions. She knew that the events of the previous day must have spread throughout the town.

Most people were just interested in the drama. They gossiped behind Gu Zi’s back, saying that Lin Laoyao’s family was too dominant, and now they had met their match in Gu Zi. Was it any wonder that trouble had arisen?

If either party had compromised a little, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

When Lin Miao was in the Lin family, hadn’t she also endured a lot? Why couldn’t Gu Zi bear it? In this respect, Lin Miao was more tolerant than Gu Zi.

Speople thought that Gu Zi was right. What did it matter if they were relatives? Laoyao’s family had never treated Gu Zi’s parents as relatives. Gu Zi’s refusal to acknowledge them and her insistence on handling matters officially was the right thing to do.

Regardless of the kind of comments she heard, Gu Zi ignored them all. She went her own way, took her own bus, and was not affected in the slightest.

In the city, Lin Laoyao, his wife, and Lin’s mother-in-law took the earliest bus from the town to the city and headed straight for the grand courtyard.

The courtyard was inhabited by military families and had a strict access control system. Outsiders were not allowed to enter at will, so Lin Laoyao had to wait at the entrance. He heard from the guard that the Gu family was preparing for a celebration in the next few days, so there would be a lot of coming and going, making it easy to run into someone from the Gu family.

They didn’t have to wait long before they saw Lin Miao, who looked much more beautiful than before, walking out with a well-dressed middle-aged couple.

Lin Miao’s height was similar to that of the lady beside her, neither of them very tall. Her facial features also resembled the couple’s. Without asking, Lin Laoyao knew that they must be Lin Miao’s biological parents, Gu Zi’s adoptive parents.

Old Lady Lin also saw the current Lin Miao and felt a surge of confidence. Lin Miao was now part of the city’s grand courtyard. Wasn’t she more successful than Gu Zi?

She walked up to Lin Miao and waved to greet her, so Lin Miao couldn’t pretend not to see them.

When Lin Miao was in the Lin family, she was treated well by her adoptive

parents, ana ner Drotner Lin cneng was also very gooa to ner. However, ner uncle and aunt were not kind to her.

Back then, her uncle and aunt loved to take advantage of her adoptive parents’ kindness. Her aunt often falsely accused her of stealing Lin Jie’s toys, which resulted in her being scolded by the old lady.

In reality, Lin Jie wanted to play a gof husband and wife with her and even wanted to kiss her. She didn’t want to, so Lin Jie went to tattle and made up stories. Her aunt, unable to distinguish right from wrong, ended up punishing Lin Miao.

As for Old Lady Lin, she was even more biased. She had always favored Lin Jie and didn’t just stop at that. Every tthey visited her during the holidays, she would secretly give Lin Jie meat and candy.

Several times, Lin Miao caught her in the act, but she lied to Lin Miao, saying that it was medicine and that she only gave it to Lin Jie because he was disobedient..
