    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Lin Miao was not only foolish but also malicious! The more Gu Shan thought about it, the angrier he became. He sat down on the chair and stood up again, then he walked to the window to calm himself.


    For a moment, Gu Shan even thought it would have been better if Gu Zi were still his daughter. She never embarrassed the Gu family.


    On the contrary, she was excellent and beautiful, always bringing praise to the Gu family.


    Seeing Gu Shan truly furious, Lin Miao timidly nced at her parents, lowered her head, and bit her lip as she started to exin.


    “Mom, Dad, I really didn’t do such a thing. I don’t understand why Lin Cheng would falsely use me, especiallying at a time when I’m about to finalize my marriage. I didn’t refute immediately because Lin Cheng has always been good to me before. I never imagined he would defame me without reason, sob…”


    After speaking, Lin Miao couldn’t help but cry. She felt her acting skills were excellent and believed she could be a great actress given the chance.


    She had been reborn once and gained the opportunity to change her fate. She couldn’t afford to let it be ruined like this.


    She had been emotionally manipted by the Lin family earlier. Now she had to do her best to dispel her parents’ suspicions and regain her father’s trust. Zhang Mei was a little upset initially, but upon hearing her daughter’s words,


    Seeing her daughter unjustly distressed and trying to smile through it, Zhang Mei felt a pang of heartache and immediately sided with her.


    “Miaomiao, of course we believe you. I think the Lin family isn’t good. Gu Shan, you’re being foolish, trusting outsiders over your daughter. The Lin family must be trying to take advantage of Miaomiao now that she’s in a better ce. They’re deliberately taking the opportunity to extort her.”


    Zhang Mei now thought the Lin family was pretending to be honest. Why didn’t they mention the issue of the betrothal gifts earlier?


    They waited until the Gong family was present to bring this up. How very cunning!


    Seeing his wife defending their daughter unconditionally, Gu Shan angrily said, “What are you thinking? Did the Lin family mention money even once?”


    Lin Miao, seeing her father still not believing her, threw herself into Zhang Mei’s arms and cried until she was almost out of breath.


    Zhang Mei’s heart ached. She said to Gu Shan, “People who want money don’t mind how much they can get. I think they’re very greedy. They didn’t mention it directly because they were waiting for Miaomiao to offer money to silence them. If the Lin family were honest, how could they be so poor?”


    Last time they visited the Lin family and saw that deste valley and the dpidated house with leaking walls, Zhang Mei was shocked.


    Zhang Mei always believed that being poor was often rted toziness.


    Though that family appeared honest and kind, they were probably pretending to be poor and would take advantage whenever possible.


    Gu Shan felt a little relieved after hearing this, thinking his wife made sense.


    Although the Lin family didn’t mention money, bringing that topic up at such a time was pretty obvious they were trying to sabotage the rtionship between the two families, right?


    Gu Shan’s face turned red, realizing he was too angry and had misunderstood Lin Miao.


    Seeing this, Lin Miao immediately said pitifully, “Dad, Mom, stop arguing. It’s all my fault. I have embarrassed our family. I must go back to the Lin family and ask them for an exnation. I can’t be ndered for no reason, because I’m representing the Gu family now.”


    Looking at his sensible daughter, Gu Shan’s heart was touched even more, and he increasingly felt his wife was right.


    Yes, he was blinded by anger. How could he not trust his own daughter?


    The Lin family had no evidence; it was all baseless usations. He had been really foolish!


    Zhang Mei red at Gu Shan andforted her daughter, saying, “It’s not your fault. me those with ill intentions. I think this matter has something to do with Gu Zi.”


    Now that Gu Zi was close to the Lin family in the countryside, she must still resent being forced to marry an older man and wanted to disrupt Lin Miao’s marriage. How malicious.


    They had raised her for over a decade in the Gu family, and they never expected her to turn out to be a snake! Zhang Mei grew even more dissatisfied with Gu Zi.


    Lin Miao was quite satisfied with Zhang Mei’s line of thinking and pretended to be rmed as she asked, “But why would Sister do this?”


    Zhang Mei confidently replied, “Gu Zi has always liked Gong Zhan. Although she’s marrying that rural man, deep down, she’s not content. She doesn’t want you to have a better life than her.”


    After hearing this, Lin Miao was more determined to marry Gong Zhan. She believed that only by being with Gong Zhan could she have a happy ending.


    She thought that Gu Zi lived such a happy life in the past because Gu Zi had managed to snatched away Gong Zhan..
