Chapter 640: Brushing Past

Before Su Bing could finish his sentence, Su Li discovered a new wonder in the master bedroom, excitedly asking, “Mom, why is there a small room in your bedroom apart from the en-suite bathroom?”

Su Le ran to Gu Zi, who picked her up and walked towards the small room, answering her sons’ question as she moved.

“I plan to design a fitness and entertainment room on the third floor, along with a study that our family can use whenever needed. The rooftop can be designed as a sunroom, and the attic can be used for storage. As for this room, it’s Su Le’s room, specially prepared by your father for our little girl, Lele. Lele, this will be your room from now on.”

When Gu Zi first saw the children’s room in the master bedroom, she was quite surprised. The design was so humanized for its time. It seemed that no matter the era, the wealthy always lived well!

However, she felt it was indeed useful. This way, Lele could have her own space from a young age, yet still be within the master bedroom, making it convenient for her to keep an eye on her.

Upon hearing their mother’s explanation, the two brothers looked at Lele’s room with even more fondness. They were secretly relieved that their little sister was receiving the treatment they never had. They were grateful for their mother, knowing that without her, the three siblings wouldn’t have the good life they now enjoyed.

Su Bing knew that he had to do a lot to soothe the emotions welling up in his heart. He silently left the room.

Su Li also felt the need to do something to repay their mother. He followed his brother out of the room. Having just moved in, there was a lot of movement and the cleanliness of the common areas was a major concern. The two brothers immediately began a thorough cleaning.

When Gu Zi came down with Su Le, the living room floor, which had been covered in footprints just a moment ago, was now as clean as a mirror.

Su Shen and Jin Long were tending to the lawn in the yard, clearly the brothers’ handiwork. Gu Zi walked into the kitchen for a look around. Su Shen had prepared well, having bought enough groceries to cook a meal. She decided to go out and buy some more food for dinner.

She had a basic understanding of the neighborhood from the journey there and from what Su Shen had told her. The neighborhood was old, but some houses had been demolished and rebuilt, like the one they had just bought, which had been rebuilt a few years ago.

Moreover, the location of the neighborhood was excellent. It was close to the city center and the schools the brothers would be attending. The transportation was convenient, and there were dedicated shopping stores, farmer’s markets, libraries, parent-child activity centers, and community parks within the neighborhood. Living here would be very convenient.

Gu Zi told Su Shen her plans, found her small cart, and pushed Su Le out the door. It didn’t take long for her to reach the farmer’s market. A wide variety of seasonal vegetables, fresh seafood, fresh pork, and various dry goods were available.

After browsing for a while, Gu Zi was overwhelmed by the variety. She could only say that the services in this villa area were top-notch!

Gu Zi quickly bought the ingredients needed for dinner and tomorrow’s breakfast, as well as some fresh fruits. These occupied about a third of the space in her small cart.

She then headed to the stall selling spices. Although Su Shen had made preparations, he was a man after all, and some things were not fully prepared. It was up to her to buy them.

As Gu Zi was looking at the spices and trying to remember what she needed to buy, she didn’t notice a woman passing by her, staring at her in astonishment. They brushed past each other, and the woman nearly dropped the gift box in her hand.

The woman walked a few steps forward and hid behind a stall, peeking out to confirm that it was indeed Gu Zi.

Indeed, such a beautiful and dazzling person could only be Gu Zi. Even the woman she was visiting today didn’t have Gu Zi’s appearance and temperament.

But why was Gu Zi here?

A sense of foreboding sprouted in Mo Li’s heart. Gu Zi lived in the village, and Gong Zhan lived in the city. Weren’t they living their separate lives just fine?

Why did Gu Zi keep appearing in the city, even making the newspapers and attracting Gong Zhan’s attention?

Mo Li knew that Gu Zi wasn’t particularly interested in Gong Zhan, but she had been imitating Gu Zi and staying by Gong Zhan’s side, hoping to one day become Mrs. Gong in name.

Finally, Lin Miao was in jail, and it was her golden opportunity. But the more Gu Zi appeared in front of Gong Zhan during this period, the more disadvantageous it was for her, the imitation. What should she do?
