Chapter 41: Be My Sister-in-Law
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi still retained the memories of the original host of her body.
The original host held deep affection for Gong Zhan, but Gong Zhan remained indifferent to the original owner.
Gu Zi averted her gaze with an air of indifference.
Gong Xin jogged over to Gong Zhan and inquired, “Brother, are you here for something?”
Gong Zhan withdrew his gaze from Gu Zi, his expression complicated. He lowered his eyes and addressed Gong Xin with much gentleness. “I’m here to discuss something with your leader. I’ll be back shortly.”
Gong Xin’s eyes lit up instantly as she eagerly added, “That’s great! Go find my leader first. I’ll take your car home to get the money later.”
Gong Zhan was perplexed.
Gong Xin was too excited to bother with Gong Zhan at that moment and quickly tugged Gu Zi along as they departed.
Gu Zi passed by Gong Zhan, cradling Lele in her arms, without even acknowledging his presence.
Gong Zhan halted and proceeded to make his way to Sister Chen.
Gu Zi and Gong Xin headed to the human resources department together to complete their work handover. Then, they descended downstairs to wait for Gong Zhan.
Just then, Lin Miao exited the radio station building, clearly exasperated.
Gong Xin watched Lin Miao’s departing figure and pursed her lips unhappily. She complained, “I don’t want her to be my sister-in-law. I think you’re perfect for my brother now. Have you ever considered becoming my sister-in-law?” Upon hearing this, Gu Zi promptly declined, “No, I’m already married.”
Gong Xin was momentarily stunned. She looked at the child in Gu Zit s arms and asked softly, “Are you truly willing to marry her father?”
In Gong Xin’s eyes, the person Gu Zi loved the most was her Big Brother.
Back then, Gu Zi had adamantly declared that she wouldn’t marry anyone but Big Brother. So, why did Gu Zi appear so different now?
Was it because she was with the child, and she couldn’t speak freely in front of the child?
Gu Zi nodded, responding with a simple “Yes.”
Gong Xin gazed at Gu Zi intently, feeling a twinge of sympathy for her.
How could her future husband force her to bring a child with her into the city? He must have asked the child to monitor Gu Zi.
Sigh, Gu Zi must be living in an abyss of suffering now.
Little did Gong Xin know that Gu Zi was no longer the same person she once was.
To Gu Zi, this story had a particular favoritism toward Gong Zhan and Lin Miao, both of whom had strong auras as the male and female leads.
Gong Zhan resembled a central air conditioner, spreading kindness to every woman without confirming or denying their affections. He consistently made women believe that the male protagonist was in love with them.
On the other hand, Lin Miao was amiable to all the men around her. It was the small misunderstandings and ups and downs involving these men and women that gave depth to the love between Gong Zhan and Lin Miao.
The original host of Gu Zi’s body was but a malicious supporting female who quickly faded into obscurity in this tale.
Gu Zi’s decision to sell the job to Lin Miao had more to it than met the eye.
In the original book, Gong Xin had a bad relationship with the original owner.
In the original narrative, Gong Xin had a strained relationship with the original host. Yet, the rapport between Gong Xin and Lin Miao was even worse. To Gong Xin, Lin Miao was just a village girl who would ascend to greatness by marrying her brother.
After the original host married and moved to the countryside, she never returned to work in the city.
Lin Miao naturally took over the original host’s work, but Lin Miao later passed on the responsibilities to Gong Xin, thus fostering a strong friendship between the two.
Gu Zi had initially been baffled by Lin Miao’s decision to give up her job. Now, it seemed that she recognized her own limitations and wanted to curry favor with Gong Xin, using her job as a bargaining chip.
In the tale, Lin Miao eventually attended university. Her solid grades earned her respect even from the Gong family, who had once looked down on her.
Gu Zi was eager to see how Lin Miao would navigate her relationship with Gong Xin in the future now that she had intervened in this timeline.
In Gu Zits eyes, Gong Xin was straightforward. If you treated Gong Xin well, she would consider you a good friend.
So, since she was on good terms with Gong Xin now, Gong Xin was bound to be Lin Miao’s adversary.
At that moment, Gong Xin noticed Gong Zhan coming out. She quickly stood up and inquired, “Brother, can you give us a ride home now?”
“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave,” Gong Zhan replied with a cold demeanor and without looking back as he left.
Gong Xin was livid.
She pointed at Gong Zhan’s retreating figure and stomped her foot. “Who does he think he is? He said he could pick me up, and now he’s saying he’s not available!”
Gong Xin pursed his lips and lamented, “With that stern expression, anyone who doesn’t know better might think someone owes him a lot of money!”
