Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 6

Skinny

Su Shen nodded and walked out of the room.

As Su Shen left, Aunt Chu, with a cold expression, approached Gu Zi and sneered, “People from the city are indeed different. You really know how to talk.”

“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were Su Shen’s mother. Why are you so nosy? Is this your seaside residence?” Gu Zi raised an eyebrow at Aunt Chu and said with confusion, “Or have you already taken this place as your own and that’s why you’re acting so arrogant?”

“You… you’re shameless!” Aunt Chu was exasperated.

“Auntie, please recognize your position. You’re just a nanny here. Don’t overstep your boundaries.”

When Aunt Chu heard the word “nanny”, her expression turned even uglier.

In ancient times, a “nanny” was just a servant. How dare this impudent city girl call her a servant.

“You… You really have no manners at all.”

“I’m sorry, I only have manners when dealing with people,” Gu Zi smiled slightly, carrying a large bag and holding Lele in her arms as she walked upstairs.

When Gu Zi left the Gu family residence, she hadn’t taken anything with her. However, on her way here, she realized there wouldn’t be any clothes to wear and decided to buy some clothes, beddings, and other necessities at the local store. She carried a bag with her on the bus ride to Su Shen’s house.

She walked to the room Su Shen mentioned. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw a wooden bed in the middle of the room. There was a wardrobe beside the door, and there was a table and a chair beside the window not far away.

Apart from that, there was nothing else in the room.

The room was quite spacious, but it looked empty.

Gu Zi’s gaze landed on the bed. The bedsheets were neatly spread, the duvet was folded into a block at the head of the bed, and there was even a pillow on top of it.

A folded duvet in block form.

She remembered that back when she was in military school, everyone used to fold their duvets into blocks. After that, they wouldn’t bother folding them again unless a teacher checked.

Gu Zi placed Lele on the ground, then took out the newly bought clothes and bedding. She organized them in the room, leaving some daily necessities on the table.

She headed outside where there was running water in the yard. Since it was hot, the clothes would dry quickly after washing. Gu Zi washed her clothes and, within a few hours, they were almost dry.

Afterward, she returned to her room and arranged the daily necessities. Whether it was for bathing or regular face cleansing, she had bought new ones with her own money.

Gu Zi then busied herself cleaning the second-floor rooms one by one. The clothes had almost dried, so she folded them and placed them in the wardrobe. She also had Lele join her for a bath.

Her room had a separate bathroom with a water heater, so there was no need to heat water for a bath.

After their baths, Gu Zi changed into a simple white long dress. Her hair was still wet, hanging loosely over her shoulders. She sat at the table to wipe her face.

The original host of this body had good skin, and Gu Zi didn’t want to neglect it.

The original host was a high school student and a top student. It was said that she ranked first in the school every year.

If it weren’t for her infatuation with her military officer fiancé, she would probably still be studying in school.

The reason she quit school was mainly due to her military officer fiancé, who was twenty-five years old. Both families hoped they would marry early and have children.

Precisely because of this, the Gu family agreed to let the original host drop out of school.

After all, her officer fiancé was the son of the chief, and his future was exceedingly bright.

Not long after the original host dropped out of school, the real heiress came crying to the door. When the original host heard this, she refused to leave the Gu family no matter what.

No, something was wrong.

Gu Zi’s eyes flashed coldly as she recalled the scene in the original owner’s room. Beside the bedside table, not far from the desk, piles of books were stacked.

The original owner must have been very fond of studying, but she was also a hopeless romantic.

After she wiped her face, she wiped Lele’s face and helped Lele dry her hair.

Lele looked more obedient and cute after washing up, but she was frighteningly thin.

Suddenly, she heard a dog barking happily from outside. She looked through the window and saw the Tibetan Mastiff circling around the two teenagers, its tail wagging vigorously.

The two teenagers were carrying school bags.

The taller one had a gloomy expression, somewhat resembling Su Shen.

The other teenager was shorter and was happily greeting the Tibetan Mastiff.

Gu Zi glanced at the little girl in her arms. Why were all three of Su Shen’s children so thin? They looked like big-headed dolls.

Logically speaking, Su Shen should have doted on the three of them very much. These three children should not be so skinny even if they were not fair and fat.

“Yiyiyaya.” Lele held the comb in her hand and was about to put it in her mouth.

Gu Zi quickly took the comb from Lele’s hand and kissed Lele’s forehead with a smile.
