Lin Miao gently tugged at Gu Shan’s clothing and whispered, “Dad, please don’t talk to Sister like that. She didn’t mean any harm.”

“Miaomiao,” Zhang Mei said, her heart aching, “we’re fighting for your sake. I understand that you can’t express it openly. Please stay out of this matter.”

Gu Zi discerned the situation upon hearing these words. She was all too familiar with Lin Miao’s tactic of feigning weakness to elicit sympathy.

Gu Shan and Zhang Mei’s merciless behavior today was obviously instigated by Lin Miao.

However, if they wanted to take the money from selling her job, why didn’t they look for her directly? Why did they come after the Lin family for it?

Gu Zi couldn’t help but see through it as a manipulative scheme. She knew Lin Miao’s tactics all too well.

Gu Zi took measured steps towards Gu Shan and Zhang Mei, then paused suddenly. Her beautiful, crystal-clear eyes held a hint of moisture, giving off an air of innocence that made people want to shower her with affection.

She wanted to say something but seemed to be at a loss for words. Her long, fluttering eyelashes added to her aura of innocence.

Gu Shan’s heart wavered. After all, she was the daughter they had raised for more than a decade. The fact that it took her so long even to call him “Daddy” must mean she felt wronged.

But when he considered the hardships Lin Miao had endured, he steeled his heart and uttered harsh words.

“Gu Zi, you ought to have a conscience. We’ve raised you for over ten years and treated you well. You secured that job as a member of the Gu family. The money from selling your job should rightfully belong to the Gu family and Lin Miao.”

Lin Miao was correct in her assessment. If Gu Zi weren’t his daughter, how could she have obtained such favorable conditions for her education and landed such a great job?

Zhang Mei, with clenched teeth, added, “That’s right, Gu Zi. You can’t just keep the money for yourself. If you’re unwilling to return it, you should ask your biological parents to return it to you.”

As these words reached their ears, Su Shen’s gaze grew increasingly cold, but he remained silent, watching the situation unfold.

He believed Gu Zi was exceptionally astute and was eager to see how she would handle the Gu family’s unreasonable demands.

Throughout this exchange, Su Shen’s indifferent gaze remained fixed on Gu Zi. He didn’t spare even a sideways glance for Lin Miao.

Lin Miao, who expected more attention from Su Shen, felt intense jealousy.

They had previously declared their closeness, but his focus was solely on Gu Zi.
