Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1000

Chapter 1000: Broken Family

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Miao was meticulously avoiding the Gong family these days. As long as she didn’t meet them, they wouldn’t have a chance to bring up the subject of divorce. Despite this avoidance, she kept a sharp eye on all developments in the Gong household.

Recently, she learned they were in need of a housekeeper. It was the perfect opportunity to plant a spy. She had been racking her brain over who to send until, just moments ago, an ingenious idea struck her.

During her time in prison, Lin Miao had learned the art of survival and manipulation. One golden rule stood out: everything and everyone could be used as a tool. So what if Li Li was her father’s mistress? If Li Li was the ideal candidate to deal with Mo Li, then Lin Miao wouldn’t hesitate to use her.

She wasn’t worried about Li Li turning into a threat. Gong Zhan, no matter how much of a man he was, had his pride. There was no way he would fall for a middle-aged, countryside woman like Li Li—especially one carrying Gu Shan’s child. That alone rendered her utterly harmless in Lin Miao’s eyes.

After coming to an agreement with Li Li, Lin Miao finally felt a semblance of control over her precarious situation.

Now, the only hurdle left was convincing Zhang Mei. If she could get Zhang Mei on board and place Li Li in the Gong household to handle Mo Li, she could breathe easy, focus on her upcoming college entrance exams, and secure a bright future. Once she was admitted to a prestigious university, what could Mo Li possibly have to compete with her?

Lin Miao returned to the city and, with great reluctance, took fifty yuan from the four hundred she had painstakingly saved. She purchased a high-quality outfit for Zhang Mei, then headed home.

Watching Zhang Mei’s face light up as she tried on the new clothes, Lin Miao seized the opportunity to propose her plan.

“Mom,” she began gently, “you can’t divorce Dad, not now. Keeping Dad’s reputation intact is the only way to protect the Gu family and secure our future.”

Zhang Mei frowned but didn’t interrupt, so Lin Miao pressed on. “What’s done is done with Dad and Li Li. She’s just a simple country woman; she can’t stir up much trouble. But if we use her to deal with Mo Li, half the battle to secure my place as Mrs. Gong will already be won. Mom, you know how painful it is to have your husband taken from you. You’ve been through it—can you really bear to watch me go through the same thing? I’ve suffered so much already. All I want is a smoother path moving forward.”
