Chapter 626: New Home in the City

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the heart of the bustling city, Su Shen held Gu Zi by the waist. They stood at the entrance of the hospital, silently watching the police car depart. The sight of Li Da’s parents weeping earlier lingered in their minds, stirring a sense of melancholy.

However, this did not mean they would not seek justice. The law of cause and effect was a universal principle. Everyone had their own battles to fight, and it was already challenging enough without meddling in others’ affairs.

Suddenly, they were approached by a group of people. “Miss Manager, we finally caught up with you,” they apologized, “We’re sorry for what we said earlier. We were uninformed and only came here to support our family. We didn’t realize that the Li brothers had lied to us. We apologize for our foolishness.”

They continued, “We’ve heard of your restaurant’s reputation and have long wanted to try your braised pork. I promise to spread the word about how delicious your food is. We’re truly sorry for today’s incident, and we’re grateful that you’re forgiving enough not to hold our mistakes against us.”

These relatives of Li Da, who had previously been confrontational, were now filled with remorse and gratitude. They didn’t dare to ask Gu Zi to absolve the Li brothers of their responsibilities.

The brothers had brought this trouble upon themselves, especially Li Er, who had persuaded his elder brother to cause such a scandal. They had nearly ruined their entire family. It was a close call.

Fortunately, Gu Zi was a reasonable person. She didn’t hold the troublemakers accountable for their actions. Otherwise, based on their previous statements, none of them would have been able to escape the consequences.

Gu Zi didn’t want to pursue the matter further. As long as the main culprits were punished by law, that was enough for her.

She addressed the group, “As long as you come to our restaurant as customers, you will always be welcome. My husband and I need to return to our village, so we won’t keep you any longer.”

With that, she got into the car under Su Shen’s escort. As Su Shen drove away from the hospital, Gu Zi looked back at the group, who were still waving goodbye. She had won this battle, and the rumors could finally be put to rest.

She turned her gaze back to the road. They had traveled some distance, and the man beside her began to speak. His deep, magnetic voice had a soothing effect, dispelling the last traces of her fatigue. He said, “Don’t dwell on these unhappy events. Cheer up.”

“I have such a handsome and successful husband. My life is full of joy. I don’t have time to dwell on unhappy thoughts. But, my dear, this isn’t the way back to the village. What are you planning?”

Su Shen gripped the steering wheel, guiding the car smoothly around a bend. He was momentarily stunned by the sweet sound of her voice calling him ‘dear’. His heart pounded in his chest.

He had to admit, this woman knew how to flirt. He was moved by her genuine happiness. “We’re not going back to the village just yet. It’s still early. Let’s have lunch, and then I’ll show you our new home in the city.”

He wanted to tell her that he had prepared everything and was waiting for her approval.

Gu Zi was surprised. Her husband had acted quickly, already renting a house. She had no objections. After all, he had been very considerate. So, they set off to see their new living environment.

After having lunch at the Golden Sun Hotel, Su Shen drove Gu Zi to their new home in the city. Gu Zi, feeling tired, fell asleep shortly after getting into the car.

Su Shen drove in silence. Even though he had more to say, he didn’t want to wake her. There was no rush. He could wait until she saw the house and then give her the keys.

When Gu Zi woke up, the car had already stopped. Realizing they had arrived at their destination, she looked out the car window and was taken aback. She quickly sat up straight and turned to Su Shen with a look of astonishment. “You rented such a big house in the city?”

It wasn’t an exaggeration. The house was enormous. When Su Shen had mentioned going to see the house, he had only spoken a few words about it.

Gu Zi hadn’t given it much thought, assuming it was just an apartment with a few rooms. She hadn’t expected it to be a large villa, even bigger than the two-story house in the village. It even had its own front and back yards, both of which were quite spacious!

She could hardly imagine how happy she would be living in such a house. After all, in her previous life, despite her hard work, she could hardly afford such a grand house.
