In a gentle voice, Mrs. Chen addressed Mr. and Mrs. Lin, “Please rest assured, we are not here to cause trouble for Gu Zi. We are merely seeking the best possible solution.”

Mrs. Lin shook her head, speaking forthrightly, “Your so-called ‘best solution’, isn’t it just asking Gu Zi to step back? You, like the Gu family, have abandoned Gu Zi, yet you always come to her for your needs. If this isn’t causing trouble, then what is?”

Mrs. Chen was taken aback by the blunt accuracy of the words from such a seemingly simple woman. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Upon reflection, however, she understood that their actions had indeed been excessive. After all, it was their Gong family and the Gu family who had jointly abandoned Gu Zi. The fact that this mother was defending Gu Zi so fervently today showed that she truly loved Gu Zi.

Interestingly, the mother’s features bore a slight resemblance to Gu Zi. Furthermore, this rural couple was not as coarse as Mrs. Chen had initially imagined. They were kind, well-mannered, and gentle.

In that instant, Mrs. Chen’s face flushed slightly. Perhaps she shouldn’t have made this visit, as it had made her realize that she might have made a grave mistake.

Upon learning of Gu Zit s background, Mrs. Chen had indeed looked down on her. The thought of Gu Zi returning to her original rural family, with a pair of rural parents, made Mrs. Chen believe that Gu Zi’s value had significantly decreased.

Perhaps it was because she had been away from the countryside for too long, but she had developed a sense of disdain for rural people. She even thought that rural people were incapable of forming a good relationship with their Gong family, due to the difference in social status.

So, no matter how excellent Gu Zi was, Mrs. Chen still allowed the Gu family to replace Gu Zi with Lin Miao, fulfilling the marriage agreement with Gong Zhan.

Even though Lin Miao was far less outstanding than Gu Zi, Mrs. Chen felt that Lin Miao might be more suitable simply because she was the Gu family’s biological daughter.

In the end, they had brought this trouble upon themselves by accepting Lin Miao. Now that trouble had arisen, both the Gong and Gu families were reaping what they had sown, and they had no one else to blame. She had no right to seek Gu Zi’s help!

Outside the door, Gu Zi heard the words of Mrs. Lin to Mrs. Chen, feeling a warm surprise in her heart. She hadn’t expected that Mrs. Lin could see the situation so clearly and speak up for her when Mrs. Chen came knocking.

Gu Zi felt truly fortunate. The mother of the original host was such a wonderful woman! Initially, she was somewhat displeased knowing that Mrs. Chen was coming, but now, the gloom in her heart was completely dispelled. She walked into the ward, politely greeting Mrs. Chen and Gong Xin.

Without waiting for Mrs. Chen to speak first, Gu Zi took the initiative to discuss the matter of Lin Miao with her. Gong Xin looked at Gu Zi with confusion, wondering what game she was playing.

Gu Zi paid no mind to Gong Xin, instead, she spoke truthfully to Mrs. Chen about her feelings towards Lin Miao and the Gu family.

When Gu Zi mentioned her arrival in the countryside, and the very unfriendly Aunt Chu she encountered who nearly had her chased away by dogs, she choked up.

When she spoke of the locals’ negative views of her due to Lin Miao’s broken engagement, Gu Zi held back her tears.

When she talked about the hardships the Lin family had to endure because Lin Miao took the money, Gu Zi couldn’t help but cry, her eyes turning red. In such a situation, even the best-prepared words could not be spoken.

Mrs. Chen, being a person of deep feelings, couldn’t help but shed tears as well. If one were to put themselves in her shoes, anyone with a shred of conscience would find it hard to ask Gu Zi to forgive Lin Miao.

Gu Zi knew that Mrs. Chen was actually a very kind and gentle woman, so she used this to her advantage to block her words. She would not forgive Lin Miao, nor did she have any reason to do so.

Mrs. Chen understood and said weakly, “Gu Zi, your uncle and I didn’t consider your feelings, leading to today’s outcome. Let’s pretend I never came today.” Regardless, Mrs. Chen decided not to interfere in this matter anymore.

Gong Xin, who had accompanied Mrs. Chen, left with her, feeling a bit dazed and not quite understanding what had happened.

It wasn’t until they left the hospital that she understood Mrs. Chen’s inner thoughts. Gong Xin immediately gave her mother a thumbs-up, “Mom, you’re wise!”

There wasn’t much to say about Lin Miao’s matter. If the Gong family chose the wrong daughter-in-law, then it was their loss. The important thing was to recognize and correct the mistake! Gong Xin’s mood greatly improved because of her mother’s attitude..
