Chapter 974: Deliberately Slandering Gu Zi

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You know what? That actually makes sense!” one of the women exclaimed, her eyes widening with sudden realization. “Now that I think about it, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei were constantly arguing for a while. Don’t you all remember? I even saw Gu Shan storming out of the house a few times, fuming with rage. He didn’t come back until late at night, or sometimes, not at all.”

The more they thought about it, the more certain they became—Gu Shan must have another woman outside, which was why the divorce with Zhang Mei had escalated so dramatically. However, someone raised a question, “But wait. Didn’t Lin Miao say that Gu Shan decided to divorce only after a private conversation with Gu Zi? So, was Lin Miao lying? Was she deliberately slandering Gu Zi?”

Another woman chimed in, “Most likely! Honestly, would Miss Gong Xin go out of her way to spread false rumors? What would she even gain from it? But Lin Miao? She’s nothing but a troublemaker, stirring up drama and nearly getting us into serious trouble. We should gather ourselves and pay a visit to Miss Gong Xin to apologize. We can’t let a few careless words jeopardize our husbands’ futures.”

The group of women began dispersing, leaving behind Gu Shan’s housekeeper, who grew increasingly anxious. Seeing the way things were unfolding, she dared not speak ill of Gu Zi anymore. With the sky darkening and rain clouds threatening another downpour, she hurried off toward the Gu family home, determined to warn Lin Miao about the situation.

By afternoon, Gu Zi emerged from the shower, refreshed but unsettled. Outside, the wind howled and lightning cracked across the sky. She stared out at the storm, unable to stop worrying about Su Shen, who was still out managing the disposal of dead pigs.

He would surely get drenched. He was already nursing a cold, and no matter how strong he was, his body wouldn’t hold up under such conditions.

Gu Zi had told him to come home earlier so she could brew him some herbal medicine, but he hadn’t made it back.

After taking Su Le from Su Jing and holding the baby in her arms, Gu Zi sat on the sofa, staring at the old-fashioned telephone on the table. She wanted to call Su Shen’s office to check on him but worried it might distract him.

Instead, she called Gui Hua’s corner store and asked her to go into town to get herbs from the old Chinese doctor, following her specific prescription. She instructed Gui Hua to prepare the medicine and have Lin Hun deliver it to Su Shen.

With Jin Long now focused on inheriting the family business, Su Shen was grooming Lin Cheng to take over as the top manager at the pig farm.
