Gu Zi’s words were somewhat vague, but Mrs. Lin managed to grasp their meaning.

Lin Miao had claimed that MO Li was going through a tough time post-breakup, and she wished to support her for a few days.

However, Lin Miao’s behavior at MO Li’s place was suspicious—leaving early and returning late. MO Li herself denied ever experiencing heartbreak, indicating that Lin Miao’s motive might have been to establish an alibi.

Moreover, Lin Miao was flaunting lavish spending and showing off large sums of cash, adding to the suspicion.

Mrs. Lin’s hands trembled as she processed these thoughts. The more she contemplated, the more hollow her gaze became.

“Gu Zi, I don’t doubt you, but how could it be Lin Miao?” Her voice trembled with disbelief.

For the Lin family, Lin Miao was a cherished and loved member. Despite knowing Lin Miao was not biologically related and had a penchant for pretense, she couldn’t fathom her committing such an act of theft. Everyone had their flaws, but this accusation seemed beyond belief.

She couldn’t accept the idea that Lin Miao would steal from the family that had cared for her. It would mean not only dirtying her hands but also betraying the kindness and trust the Lin family had shown her.

“Mom, I’m sorry for distressing you. But what I’m about to say might be disappointing,” Gu Zi said gently, holding Mrs. Lin’s hand, trying to console her.

Understanding the Lin family’s kindness made Gu Zi more determined not to let deception prevail.

Li Hua’s usually warm expression turned cold. She addressed Mrs. Lin, “Mom, I’ve been wanting to say this for a while. I believe Lin Miao is ungrateful. Why are you still protecting her now?”

Li Hua had an easy-going personality and never liked to care about doing more for others.

Li Hua was typically easy-going but harbored resentment due to several incidents involving Lin Miao. Despite her forgiving nature, she couldn’t ignore the perceived ingratitude.

She had refrained from voicing her grievances earlier to maintain family harmony, given how much Lin Miao had been favored, especially by Lin Cheng. But now, she felt it was time to stop covering for a potential thief, despite the conflict it might cause within the family.

Mrs. Lin glanced at Li Hua and felt a pang of guilt. She understood Li Hua’s temperament and realized that for her to voice such concerns, she must have endured more than she should have.
