Chapter 642: Gu Zi!!!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Did you know that Mr. Gong had a fiancée before? She had broken off their engagement for some reasons and left to marry someone else. But recently, she has returned to the city,” Mo Li’s voice echoed in the room.
Sun Qi fell silent for a moment, her tone laced with mockery as she asked, “You’re not talking about Gu Zi, are you? I know her. We were classmates in elementary school. But honestly, it’s not worth mentioning. She’s like a bad penny, always turning up. She married a pig butcher from the countryside, a fake rich girl paired with a country bumpkin. What a perfect match! Why couldn’t she just stay in the countryside? Why did she come back?”
Mo Li was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected Sun Qi and Gu Zi to have been classmates in elementary school. Judging by Sun Qi’s tone, it seemed like there was some bad blood between them.
But then again, it made sense. Gu Zi and Gong Zhan had been engaged since they were young, and Sun Qi had been in love with Gong Zhan since she was a child. The news about the Gu family’s mistaken daughter had spread, and they all moved in the same circles. It wasn’t surprising that they knew each other.
Mo Li found this quite amusing. It seemed that she wouldn’t have to exert much effort; Sun Qi would take care of Gu Zi herself.
Mo Li’s eyes sparkled as she continued, “Don’t be mad at me for saying this, but from what I’ve heard, Gu Zi isn’t content with her life with that country bumpkin of a husband.
“She’s always looking for opportunities to come back to the city. When Lin Miao was around, she kept a close eye on Gu Zi. But now that Lin Miao can’t keep watch anymore, Gu Zi has returned to the city. If she seeks out Mr. Gong, he won’t be able to refuse her. You need to prepare yourself, my little princess.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Qi’s face darkened. Indeed, just like her, Gu Zi had loved Gong Zhan since they were children. How could she easily give up this competition?
Now that Lin Miao was in jail and Gong Zhan was alone, Gu Zi had chosen the perfect time to return. It was infuriating!
Sun Qi thought to herself, both Lin Miao and Gu Zi, one a real rich girl who grew up in the countryside with no worldly experience, and the other a fake rich girl who had taken someone else’s place for over a decade, were both unworthy. Neither of them deserved to be Mrs. Gong. That position was meant for her and her alone.
That’s why, after Gong Zhan changed his secretary, she started to interact with the new secretary, Mo Li, regardless of her status. She wanted to get closer to Gong Zhan. Whether Gong Zhan’s wife was Lin Miao or Gu Zi, she, Sun Qi, would take him back.
She used to be somewhat wary of Gu Zi. Ever since Gu Zi transferred to their elementary school, Sun Qi always seemed to lose to her, whether it was in looks, grades, or anything else.
Every time she visited Gong Zhan at the military compound, she would hear people say that Gu Zi was the most outstanding one, a perfect match for Gong Zhan. This made Sun Qi feel very upset.
Her family background was obviously superior to Gu Zi’s. Her father was a high-ranking official, her uncle was in the military, and her mother’s family was wealthy. She was the pampered young lady of her family. In terms of status, she was far more noble than Gu Zi. How could she be inferior to Gu Zi?
But back then, despite her dissatisfaction, she had to admit that she couldn’t beat Gu Zi in any aspect. But now, things were different.
Now, Gu Zi’s status had fallen to the dust. She was nothing more than the wife of a country man. No matter how beautiful, talented, or likable she was, Sun Qi was superior to her in terms of family background alone!
Sun Qi had thought that she could use this time to win over Gong Zhan. Once Lin Miao was released from prison, Gong Zhan would divorce her and marry Sun Qi. She believed that her love journey would finally come to a successful end!
But she never expected that before she could even start her plan, Gu Zi had reappeared. Gu Zi was already a married woman. How could she still be pining for Gong Zhan? It was shameless.
Sun Qi immediately gave Mo Li an order, “Go back and investigate where Gu Zi is living now. Report back to me. That’s all for today. You can get off at the next stop. I’m going to see Gong Zhan. It’s not on your way.”
Without saying another word, Mo Li obediently got out of the car, watching as it mercilessly drove away.
Her eyes were cold as ice. The reason she hadn’t directly mentioned running into Gu Zi at the trade center in the residential area was that she didn’t want to seem too deliberate. She was walking a dangerous path by using Sun Qi, and she had to tread carefully every step of the way.
