Chapter 984: Standing Up for My Wife

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The car glided smoothly into the gated neighborhood and came to a stop in front of the Gao family’s home. As soon as the car doors unlocked, Su Li sprang out, all traces of his earlier distress forgotten. He turned to Gu Zi, his face lighting up like fireworks.

“Mom! Dad’s back!” he shouted, hopping excitedly on the pavement.

Gu Zi recognized Su Shen’s car immediately. Whatever lingering annoyance or worry she’d been harboring vanished in an instant. She quickened her pace, following her son’s energetic skips toward the front door.

Before they even reached the entrance, Su Shen stepped out, clearly having been waiting for her. He strode over, purposeful and commanding, while Su Jing trailed behind him, holding little Su Le in her arms.

The moment they were close enough, Su Shen wrapped Gu Zi in a firm embrace and guided her inside without missing a beat. She didn’t resist—truth be told, she had missed him too.

Behind them, Su Jing rolled her eyes and couldn’t resist teasing. “Sister-in-law, my brother’s been completely out of it since he got back. The second he saw you weren’t home, he practically lost his mind. I tried talking to him, but it was like talking to a wall. Now that you’re back, maybe his soul can return to his body.”

Su Shen ignored his sister’s jabs and turned his full attention to Gu Zi. “How did it go? Everything sorted out?”

Gu Zi settled herself on the sofa, Su Le climbing eagerly into her lap. She held the little girl close and offered Su Shen a reassuring smile. “We dropped Xu Sheng off at the hospital, and his mom arrived not long after. Nothing too serious.”

But Su Li wasn’t about to let the matter slide so easily. He marched over, face scrunched in righteous indignation. “Dad! Xu Sheng’s mom is awful! Mom saved her son, and she still tried to accuse her of poisoning him with bad pork! No wonder Mom didn’t want to sell her pork before. She’s the worst!”

Su Shen’s expression darkened, his jaw tightening. He turned to Gu Zi, concern flashing in his eyes. “Are you okay? Don’t worry—if she thinks our pork is so dangerous, then she doesn’t need to eat it. Let her find her pork somewhere else.”

Gu Zi’s heart did a little flip. Damn, this man could be infuriatingly attractive when he got all protective. If Su Shen wanted to cut the Xu family off entirely, she had no objections. That woman, Huang Fei, had gone way too far.

Su Li was equally impressed. He beamed at his father. “Dad, you’re the best! Thanks for standing up for Mom!”
