Gu Zi’s eyes welled up with tears. She didn’t mention that they had no right to demand the money, nor did she accuse them of wrongdoing because they had influential backing.
She simply provided a respectful explanation for why she needed that sum of money.
As the adopted daughter of the Gu family in the city, her upcoming marriage into the Su family in Daqing Village would become widely known.
The presence of a dowry at the wedding would naturally reflect the Gu family’s prestige.
Even though they had sent her to the countryside, she was still thinking about the Gu family. She displayed a deep sense of loyalty to them.
Zhang Mei was touched, and even Gu Shan was moved.
They felt that perhaps the initial shock of discovering the truth about the Gu family’s biological daughter had taken a toll on her and led to this drastic change in her attitude.
That would be difficult for anyone to accept. It was a process of coming to terms with such a life-altering revelation.
Gu Zi had evidently adapted to this process. She now understood their feelings of guilt toward Miaomiao. And she had always shown such respect to them as parents. How could they still want the money from her now?
“Have you already decided to get married?” Gu Shan inquired. “In that case, the money will be our dowry.”
Naturally, she held herself accountable for her hastiness and didn’t suspect Lin Miao’s instigation.
She turned to Su Shen and remarked, “This must be Gu Zits fiancé. He’s truly a handsome man. Well, it’s settled then. You two have a wonderful life ahead.” Gu Shan and Zhang Mei felt that this outcome was good too.
Although they did not get the money, at least they confirmed that Gu Zi and Su Shen were getting married.
This was good. Actually, as long as Miaomiao could keep the engagement with the Gong Family, this would be the best compensation for her.
Seeing the change in the Gu family’s attitude, Su Shen replied politely, “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Gu.”
Behind Gu Shan and Zhang Mei, Lin Miao was on the brink of losing her mind with anger. They had switched sides so quickly, casting their guilt toward her to the back of their minds.
Lin Miao found her biological parents to be excessively hypocritical. They consistently professed their intention to make amends to her, yet they had been effortlessly swayed by Gu Zi. It was apparent that Gu Zi still held a place in their hearts.
She did not want to return empty-handed. She needed to take action to ensure that Gu Zi wouldn’t have it easy.
“However,” Lin Miao went on, “after hearing what Sister said today, I’m relieved. Regardless of how much you may have loved Brother Gong Zhan, you still value the dignity of the Gu family. freёwebnovel.com
