Chapter 689: An Unwelcomed Visitor



At this moment, within the residential complex, the car Gu Shan had rented had already driven in. Sitting in the passenger seat was Zhang Mei’s elder brother, his face etched with anxiety. He turned to Gu Shan and said, “Today is the fourteenth of February. I heard that the city’s First Bilingual Primary School has already begun its entrance examinations. Brother-in-law, can we still manage this?”

Gu Shan’s face darkened further at his words. He regretted this situation, but it was Zhang Mei who had convinced him to let Gu Zi marry Su Shen in Lin Miao’s place. Ultimately, it was the Zhang family’s problem, and now her brother had the audacity to complain.

Having finally managed to find Gu Zi’s current address through his professional connections, Gu Shan was taken aback. Not only was she renting a place in Jifu New Village, but she was also residing in the most famous old district of the village.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge about the city knew about the prestige of this area. It was a neighborhood where the powerful and famous gathered. He distinctly remembered that the houses in the old district were only for sale, not for rent. How had Gu Zi managed to rent one?

If she had such connections, why hadn’t she told him, her adoptive father? If the Gu family could rent a house here, they would also be residents of this prestigious area. That would certainly straighten their backs when they went out.

Originally, Gu Shan had thought that Gu Zi was also renting a house in the city. Even if it was in such a good neighborhood, he didn’t think much of it. But when he registered at the gate and mentioned that he was there to visit his daughter, the security guards immediately changed their demeanor. They respectfully let his car pass and even asked if he needed a driver from the residential complex to help him. At that moment, he felt a pang of jealousy.

Once he drove into the complex and saw the superior environment, the patrolling guards, the magnificent villas, and the grand front and backyards, he felt even worse. As an adoptive father with financial difficulties, it was disheartening to see his adopted daughter living in such a luxurious villa.

However, with Zhang Mei’s elder brother present, he couldn’t express his feelings. He responded in a deep voice, “After all, I am her adoptive father. The Gu family raised her for eighteen years. She won’t refuse such a small request. What’s there to fear about the entrance exam? The two spots she has are fixed. Even if they don’t take the exam, they can make it up. School doesn’t officially start for a few more days.”

Upon hearing this, the other man seemed to remember that the school placements for his two grandsons were more important. His tone became more agreeable as he said, “You’re right, brother-in-law. We’re relying on you for this.”

At the Su residence, Gu Zi had just finished cooking cornmeal porridge and had served the pickles. She had just brought everything to the dining table when she heard the doorbell ring. She also seemed to hear Su Li’s voice.

She went out to see Su Bing and Su Li leaning against the iron gate, seemingly blocking someone from entering. Even the little girl, Su Le, was standing with her brothers, arms spread out in a blocking gesture. Gu Zi knew that an unwelcome visitor had arrived.

She quickened her pace to the gate, opened it, and stepped out. Only then did she clearly see the people being blocked by the three children. It was her adoptive father, Gu Shan, and another man. Her memory told her that this man was Zhang Mei’s elder brother. According to their previous relationship, the original host would have called this man “Uncle.” Gu Zi’s eyebrows twitched. What was he here for?

When Gu Shan saw Gu Zi come out, he said discontentedly, “Look at your three stepchildren. They’re clearly from the countryside. They have no manners. They see their elders coming and don’t greet them. Instead, they block the door and don’t let them in. How do you discipline your children?”

Gu Zi walked over, told the three children to go in first, and then defended them, “Uncle Gu, my three children have always been praised for being sensible and polite. It’s strange that they become so unruly every time they meet you. This probably isn’t a problem with the children. You shouldn’t keep saying that my children have no manners.”

Su Bing, carrying Su Le, walked in front, and Su Li followed behind. Hearing their mother defend them, Su Li felt a warm feeling in his heart. He turned back and made a face at Gu Shan, “The teacher said, not all elders deserve respect, hehe!”
