As Gu Zi spoke, a thought struck her about the moment Su Bing had first come in today.

When Yu Fang spoke, Gu Zi had been surprised. She hadn’t expected Su Bing to already know the truth about his origins. But in hindsight, Su Bing was sharp; it wasn’t so strange that he had figured it out.

This realization also explained why Yu Fang’s warmth had suddenly cooled in recent times, why she had stayed away from the Su family for so long.

Now, with Yu Fang and Xu Fan having come over to transfer the children’s rightful inheritance to the Su family’s name, it was clear they had pondered this carefully and were just waiting for the right moment to act. Su Jing’s confrontation today provided the perfect opening. The Xu family’s repentance, it seemed, was genuine.

Su Bing’s reaction was hardly surprising. As the eldest, he bore the deepest scars from their past trials. Even if he accepted the Xu family’s money, he was well within his rights to refuse to acknowledge them as family. Gu Zi would never force him. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Today, she stayed by his side until he fell asleep. Su Bing was reserved—unlike Su Li, who said whatever was on his mind.

Often, Gu Zi found herself overlooking Su Bing’s silent struggles, but this rare glimpse of emotion stirred her patience and tenderness. In her eyes, nothing else mattered. She only hoped that, under her guidance, the three children could find a life free from hardship.

Perhaps Su Bing longed for motherly love too. This time, instead of insisting that his mother leave early, he quietly admitted his need. He wanted her to stay and keep him company—just once, to fall asleep with her nearby. One night would be enough. In the future, he promised himself, he would repay her in countless ways.

When Su Shen and Su Jing came to check in on Su Bing, Gu Zi was already seated beside the bed, dozing lightly. They entered quietly, and she woke immediately, signaling them to be silent with a finger pressed to her lips. She gently tucked Su Bing in before slipping out with them, all careful not to disturb his rest.

Once outside, Gu Zi yawned and gave a lazy glance at Su Shen and Su Jing. "You two didn’t say anything when the inheritance was brought up today. If you have thoughts, just tell me tomorrow. I can tell Su Bing to return it to the Xu family—after all, it’s just a million or so. Su Bing’s smart and capable; he’ll earn that much himself one day. It’s just a matter of working harder while he’s young. That’s what youth is for!"
