Perhaps the Gu couple never had a profound understanding of the original owner. To them, she was merely a tool for gaining praise and benefits. People wouldn’t delve deep into a tool whose purpose was already clear.

As for Lin Miao, Gu Zi was even more confused. How could she defend her uncle’s family?

In the original book, Lin Miao had been bullied by her uncle’s family since she was a child, and was often taken advantage of by Lin Jie in private. Yet, she was willing to put aside past grievances to defend them?

Gu Zi felt that Lin Miao was indeed as patient as the villagers said.

At this point, Gu Zi found the situation amusing and didn’t bother to refute anything. If she was not kind, then so be it.

She coldly said to Gu Shan, “The police have already intervened in this matter. We have to wait for their investigation and interrogation before deciding how to deal with Lin Jie. Whether he will have to pay compensation, go to jail, or both, is uncertain. Su Shen doesn’t have the power to interfere with official business with a simple phone call.”

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Lin realized that this cunning vixen was determined to send her precious grandson to jail and even demanded compensation!

With all the money Su Shen had, how much more did she want?

Ignoring everything else, Old Lady Lin immediately started making a scene. However, instead of hurling insults as before, she resorted to begging. She wanted to see if this cunning vixen still had any shame left!

She walked forward, bowing and prostrating herself, crying out, “Gu Zi, my good granddaughter, please have mercy and spare our Little Jie. Your grandmother is kneeling before you!”

As Old Lady Lin attempted to kneel, Zhang Mei and Lin Miao quickly helped her up.

In reality, Old Lady Lin had no intention of kneeling. She was doing this deliberately, hoping to cause a bigger scene with the Gu family present.

Lin Laoyao and his wife understood Old Lady Lin’s intentions. The wife pulled her husband down to their knees, kowtowing toward Gu Zi and Lin’s father.

They didn’t want to pay compensation, nor did they want their son to go to jail. They were willing to kowtow if it meant making Gu Zi compromise. Once this matter was over, they could seek revenge later.

For a while, the hospital room was filled with pleas and crying. Lin Laoyao’s family looked miserable. Who would have thought that their son was the one who started the fight?

Zhang Mei, holding the old woman, frowned deeply. She glared at Gu Zi and reprimanded, “Gu Zi, when did you become so cruel? Elder, please don’t kneel.

Let’s talk this out.”

Lin Miao also put on a filial piety act and said to Gu Zi, “Sister, you see, grandmother is so old. How can you bear to see her kneel before you? Sister, stop being stubborn. Look, grandmother and the others are truly repentant.”

Gu Zi stared at Lin Miao and laughed, “If that’s the case, can I slap you now and then cryingly apologize to you, saying that I’m sincere? If you can accept this, then this matter is simple. As long as you prove to me that what you said is true, we can discuss settling this privately. So, Lin Miao, can I slap you now?”

After saying this, Gu Zi flexed her wrist, ready to strike. Her eyes were filled with a murderous intent, as if she was about to slap Lin Miao’s face crooked with one slap.

Seeing Gu Zi’s posture, Lin Miao trembled slightly. She was unwilling to go to such lengths for Lin Jie’s sake.

So, without hesitation, Lin Miao said, “Sister, that’s not right. You’re doing this on purpose. How can you generalize? It’s just about Lin Jie’s matter. It’s already happened. We’re just asking you to forgive and forget. Why are you dragging me into this?”

Gu Shan sternly said, “Gu Zi, you’re getting more and more reckless. As a sister, how can you say you want to hit your sister in public? Besides, Miao Miao is just trying to advise you out of goodwill, afraid that people will say you’re heartless.”

Gu Zi shook her head, raised her hand in a stop gesture, and said lazily, “Enough, stop it. If you continue like this, I promise, I’ll ring the bell and have you thrown out.. Besides, Lin Miao, you’re not willing to take a slap yourself, but what about dad? Since you came in, have you ever cared about the health of the father who raised you?”
