Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009: Building A Greater Empire

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the topic of Gong Zhan came up, Lin Miao’s face flushed a deep shade of crimson.

How could she possibly know what Gong Zhan’s current situation was? Ever since his release, she hadn’t even seen him once.

However, she knew better than to admit this out loud. The motives behind these people’s questions were far from simple. If they discovered just how distant her relationship with Gong Zhan truly was, they would undoubtedly give her the cold shoulder.

After a brief pause, Lin Miao crafted her response carefully. “As you all know, Gong Zhan sustained some injuries during his trip to the capital. He’s not in a position to attend such a large gathering at the moment. However, he specifically instructed me to entertain all of you on his behalf. Once his health improves—and after my college entrance exams are over—we’ll host another gathering to properly thank everyone.”

She hoped this explanation would suffice, at least for now. All Lin Miao could do was get through this moment. Perhaps if she managed to get into a prestigious university, Gong Zhan might finally see her in a better light. By then, she planned to make a greater effort to mend their relationship. Surely, it wasn’t too late to win him back.

Gong Xin, being the loyal best friend that she was, made a point of visiting Gu Zi as the college entrance exams approached. She even brought a thoughtful little gift along.

...

Coincidentally, just as Gong Xin stepped out of her car, she ran into Jin Long, who had also come to pay his respects.

Jin Long had driven himself in a sleek, silver compact car. His outfit was impeccably sharp: a tailored suit and a neatly combed hairstyle that exuded a businesslike charm.

The sight of him caught Gong Xin off guard. For a brief moment, he looked like a completely different person. Then it hit her—Jin Long was now the heir of Golden Sun and had already taken over the reins of management. Technically, he was the boss of the renowned hotel chain. Today, his appearance screamed professionalism.

She greeted him with a playful grin. “Boss Jin, you’re looking quite impressive today with this getup!”

Jin Long hadn’t expected to bump into Gong Xin, and the moment he saw her, he hurried over to help carry her things. “Really? You think I look good like this?”

Walking alongside him, Gong Xin chuckled. “Of course! You’re a big boss now—a man with social standing. This look suits you perfectly. I’m sure anyone would find it appealing.”

Jin Long’s face reddened slightly. He had just come straight from a meeting and hadn’t had the time to change. Initially, he had worried that this style might make him appear too old-fashioned. But hearing Gong Xin’s praise filled him with newfound confidence.
