Gu Lingling really is innocent.

She truly doesn’t love gossip, especially with someone she’s just met for the first time.

Are they familiar?

Please, she only just learned her name!

What can she say?

What does she want to say?

Condolences? Or resist parting?

"Can’t you just comfort me a little?" Mao Ziru pouted with her sexy red lips, "I’m about to get a stepmother who’s almost my age, do you have no sympathy?"

The Black Bird on the tree outside shook its feathers, casting a disdainful glance at Mao Ziru, who was feigning pitiful helplessness.

This woman is really good at pretending. Knowing that acting pitiable won’t work with the male owner, she’s doing it with the female owner. Just not sure if this foolish woman will fall for it.

"I’m not good at comforting people," Gu Lingling said honestly.

Especially people she’s not familiar with.

"Don’t you want to know why Yang Yunhai and I became colleagues?" Mao Ziru tilted her head at her, "I’m not a soldier, you know."

"It’s his business. If he doesn’t say, then it means it’s either not to be said or there’s no point in saying." Gu Lingling smiled at her, "So actually, you’re quite curious about me, aren’t you?"

Otherwise, why keep probing again and again?

"You’re really something..." Mao Ziru sighed, "No wonder he took a liking to you. I give up."

Gu Lingling just smiled, glanced at the time and said, "I have to go. I won’t be accompanying you."

Mao Ziru sat there dejectedly, watching Gu Lingling go about her work.

"I know you really hate me." At that moment, a voice sounded, and Mao Ziru didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.

She scoffed and moved a bit to the other side.

"Actually, there’s a good solution." Su Manwen said slowly, "Your father is a businessman, in the business world, if you find a capable son-in-law helpful to him, tell me, would you still be wary of me?"

At that time, she would probably be the one who should be wary of her.

"Su Manwen, what do you mean?" Mao Ziru turned to her.

Would she really be so kind?

Unlikely.

"Just the literal meaning," Su Manwen said blandly, "You can also take it as my provocation."

"Just, if I were you..." she laughed a little with her hand over her mouth, "Forget it, you’re not me after all."

Su Manwen shook her head, her gaze fixed on that splash of white in the distance, "She is really beautiful, but do you still have a chance?"

"It’s none of your business," Mao Ziru sneered, "Worry about yourself first, whether you can even get into my house is another matter."

Isn’t it a bit early to laugh at her now?

Su Manwen kept her eyes on Gu Lingling, barely acknowledging Mao Ziru’s words with a smile.

Marry into their family?

No, she wouldn’t.

"Do you know her?" Mao Ziru asked tentatively, noticing her staring in Gu Lingling’s direction.

Su Manwen didn’t say a word, merely gave Mao Ziru a contemptuous look before pulling back strongly.

Know her?

Of course, she knows her, someone she’s known for many years, someone she grew up with. In a crowd, she can always spot her at first glance.

Now she’s back, everything is bound to end.

Thinking of the past, Su Manwen smiled softly.

In the past, she was foolish, underestimated Gu Lingling.

Now she’s back with a new identity, but can she recognize her?

Judging by the earlier situation, she probably hasn’t recognized her.

Su Manwen couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation.

Days ahead should be quite interesting.
