Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 967

Chapter 967: Apologize

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi immediately saw through the housekeeper’s thoughts and seized the moment. With her usual disarming smile, she said, “It’s really not a big deal. My sister-in-law here and Mrs. Huang may have had a bit of a misunderstanding earlier, so I brought her over to make amends. And, of course, I made this cheesecake for Mrs. Huang—just a little gesture of goodwill. After all, we’re neighbors, and it’s always better to stay on good terms, isn’t it?”

The housekeeper’s expression softened noticeably.

So they’d come to apologize? That made more sense. Her madam, after all, was a distinguished lady from the capital—how could Gu Zi, of all people, dare to disrespect her? Of course, she couldn’t. And here was the proof: a personal visit and an apology.

The housekeeper also remembered how much her madam had been craving Gu Zi’s cakes. Why, she had even set her pride aside and tried to ask Gu Zi for the recipe.

That venture had ended disastrously, with the madam storming back in a foul mood after being humiliated at the Su household. Naturally, the servants had borne the brunt of her temper ever since. But now that Gu Zi was here, bearing a peace offering, surely the madam’s spirits would improve.

Having calculated all this, the housekeeper’s demeanor became less frosty. “Ah, so you’re here to reconcile with our madam. Very well, wait here. I’ll go and fetch her.”

As soon as the housekeeper turned her back, Su Jing’s irritation boiled over. She delivered an imaginary kick in the air toward the retreating figure and muttered to Gu Zi, “I knew it—like master, like servant. That Huang woman is insufferable, and her housekeeper is just as arrogant.”

Gu Zi gave her a light tug on the arm and a playful grin. “Patience. We’re here to gather information, remember? You don’t want to ruin our chances, do you?”

Su Jing huffed but fell silent, standing obediently by Gu Zi’s side while they waited.

At the staircase landing, the housekeeper, now safely out of sight, quickened her pace to find Huang Fei. She found her in the study, overseeing her son Xu Sheng as he worked through an English listening exercise.
