The sensation was akin to her interactions with Su Shen. The man appeared deep and aloof, yet Gu Zi didn’t feel suppressed when she was with him.
Initially, she was drawn to Su Shen’s appearance and the benefits of painless childbirth. Now, she found herself attracted to the man himself. She truly wished to marry him.
The motorcycle came to a stop in front of the courtyard gates. Su Shen and Gu Zi disembarked and entered together.
Initially, Gu Zi thought that without registration or familiarity, it was impossible to enter the urban military compound. But when the guard peeked and didn’t intervene, she and Su Shen entered smoothly.
Gu Zi was puzzled. “Did the rules for entering and exiting the compound change?”
Su Shen chuckled softly. “Seems like it.”
As they walked through the corridor, Su Shen’s tall figure struggled a bit in the somewhat old hallway. He had to lower his head when he reached the corner.
Gu Zi now realized that in terms of economic conditions, the households in this compound were nowhere near Su Shen’s family. At least, the Su family’s space allowed him to move more freely.
Arriving at the entrance of the Gu family’s residence, Gu Zi knocked.
Zhang Mei opened the door but immediately shut it upon seeing her, saying to those inside, “Nothing, just a mail delivery to the wrong door.”
Gu Zi looked at Su Shen behind him and continued to knock on the door. Only then did Zhang Mei open the door and step outside.
She quickly closed the wooden door behind her. It was obvious that there was someone inside who did not want to see Gu Zi.
“Why did you come back?” she asked with displeasure. Don’t even think of going after Gong Zhan. Can’t you just behave yourself?”
Before Gu Zi could speak, she received a scolding from her adoptive mother. That made her feel a little uncomfortable.
When did she show any intention of getting involved with Gong Zhan? She wasn’t Lin Miao; she wasn’t that idle.
Her face still carried a faint smile. After all, she needed the Gu family’s household register, and she was eager for the transfer to succeed.
“Mom, I’m not here to find Gong Zhan. I just want to borrow the household register to transfer my registration.”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mei sneered upon hearing this. They couldn’t even handle the transfer. What could someone from the countryside do?
A thirty-year-old rural man with no land, unable to eat or find a proper job, came here to pose as someone wealthy. Zhang Mei glanced at Su Shen, thinking he was dressed decently to pose as a rich person today.
She sneered, “People need to take the right path, stop wandering around aimlessly all day. The household register won’t help you; you can’t do it.”
Gu Zi found Zhang Mei unreasonable and restrained her smile. “Mom, I just want to use the household register. Can we try? As for Gong Zhan, please rest assured, I have no intention of contacting him, not now, nor in the future.”
She remained composed and polite, without a hint of complaint, making Zhang Mei find it difficult to keep scolding her.
However, Zhang Mei still didn’t want Gu Zi to see Gong Zhan inside. In a cold voice, she said, “If you don’t have any intentions with him, then stop parading around the city with your fiancé using unreasonable excuses. Hurry up and leave!”
After saying that, she averted her gaze, looking disdainful as if even glancing at Su Shen would dirty her eyes.
Gu Zi felt a sting from that look. Did Zhang Mei disdain Su Shen?
She had a principle: if someone criticized her, she might not care, but if someone criticized her man, she wouldn’t tolerate it.
But before she could speak, Su Shen spoke first. “Auntie, I can see that you have an important guest. We just need to use the household register and won’t trouble you in the future.”
He remained composed, his tone polite but distant. He was straightforward; if these people had no affection for Gu Zi, he didn’t need to treat them as elders.
Zhang Mei hadn’t expected this countryside man to be so composed. But she thought it might be better to hand them the household register to get rid of them, to avoid trouble with Gong Zhan.
Recently, the relationship between Gong Zhan and Lin Miao had just made a little progress. She couldn’t tolerate any mishaps.
“Wait here; don’t come in without permission,” she said before turning and going inside to get the household register.
Inside, Gong Zhan and Gu Shan had just finished their conversation and overheard the exchange.
Zhang Mei didn’t explain anything and directly retrieved the household register.
Gong Zhan sat on a chair in the living room, looking rather grim. He recalled
Gu Zi’s words from earlier and felt that the woman was extremely hypocritical.
On one hand, she had asked Lin Miao to arrange a meeting with him, and on the other, she was also eager to be with a rural man..
