Gu Zi smiled. “Alright, I’m counting on you then.”

Gong Xin said, “Then let’s go get the money from my brother. I don’t have enough money.”

Gu Zi glanced at the sky. “Since we got the household register, let’s go to the radio station to complete the procedures first. After that, we can get the money.”

She was aware that Gong Xin might not know Gong Zhan’s whereabouts.

But she had no concerns about Gong Xin reneging on the debt. Despite their enmity, they had grown up together, and she knew that Gong Xin was not the type of person to default on a debt.

Gong Xin stared at Gu Zi with her large eyes. “Aren’t you worried that I won’t give you the money?”

Gu Zi, carrying Su Le, stepped out of the courtyard. “Nope. I’ve never heard of

Gong Xin failing to repay a debt.”

Gong Xin watched Gu Zi’s retreating figure and her eyes filled with a mixture of emotions. Why didn’t she realize that Gu Zi knew her so well in the past?

She even had the urge to rush up and hug Gu Zi!

At this moment, they had completely reconciled.

Upon arriving at the radio station, they proceeded directly to the human resources department to complete the necessary paperwork.

Upon finishing the signing, Gu Zi stared at the job transfer contract for a moment. Then, she put down her pen and inscribed the name “Gu Zi.” This time, she was saying goodbye to this job for real.

However, given the current circumstances, this was the best course of action.

After setting down her pen, she rose from her seat and exited the radio station with Gong Xin without looking back.

“Congratulations, you’re officially a broadcaster now!” she said to Gong Xin. Gong Xin opened her arms and hugged Gu Zi. “Thank you so much.” Being a broadcaster was her dream, and it had finally come true.

With a smile on her face, she looked at the little child in Gu Zi’s arms and teased, “Lele, you’re so thin. Auntie will treat you and your stepmother to delicious food.”

After saying that, Gong Xin led Gu Zi to a nearby food stall.

Gu Zi didn’t decline. She was hungry and this was an ideal opportunity to fill her stomach.

She had read a book about street food stalls in the 1980s, offering a variety of dishes like fried spring rolls, roast duck, rice, and more. They were all delicious and affordable.

However, such treats were not something that ordinary people could afford.

This was the perfect time to experience the feeling of being a nouveau riche.

Gong Xin summoned the vendor and began ordering. “I’d like an order of spring rolls, a bowl of minced meat porridge, and two herbal tea eggs. And you?” She turned to Gu Zi. “Order whatever you like; I’ll cover the bill.”

Gu Zi didn’t hesitate. “I’d like two herbal tea eggs, a bowl of clear broth noodle soup, and another herbal tea egg. Please peel and cut it for me; I’ll be feeding it to the child. I apologize for the inconvenience.”

The vendor was efficient, and soon, their food was delivered to the table.

Gu Zi passed one of the herbal tea eggs to Su Le and encouraged her to eat it. Then, she and Gong Xin began savoring their meal.

“Miss, Miss Gu, there you are.”

Gu Zi raised her head when she heard the greeting. She recognized him. He was the Gong family’s chauffeur. Everyone called him Uncle Yang. Gu Zi smiled and replied, “Hello, Uncle Yang.”

When Uncle Yang saw the child in Gu Zits arms, his smile froze.

Miss Gu was quite pitiful.

She and Young Master Gong had been childhood sweethearts, even engaged. But then, Lin Miao, the Gu family’s biological daughter, had suddenly appeared, and everything had changed.

Not only could Gu Zi no longer marry the person she loved, but she had been sent to the countryside to marry another guy on behalf of Lin Miao. It was truly a regrettable situation for her.

Gong Xin’s eyes lit up upon spotting Uncle Yang.

Uncle Yang was Gong Zhan’s chauffeur. If Uncle Yang was here, it meant that her brother was nearby.

“Uncle Yang, where’s my brother?” Gong Xin inquired.

“Young Master is entertaining guests at the Golden Sun restaurant and asked me to come down to purchase a good bottle of wine.

Gong Xin promptly set down her spoon, stuffed the last spring roll into her mouth, and tugged Gu Zi to settle the bill. “Let’s go find my brother.”

Gu Zi had already filled her stomach and didn’t plan to accompany her. “It’s not convenient for me to carry the child and meet your brother. You go get the money. I’ll wait here.”

Gong Xin asked Uncle Yang to wait for her and whispered into Gu Zi’s ear, “Don’t you understand my intentions? Are you truly content with living in the countryside and becoming someone’s stepmother?”

She had called Gu Zi over to meet Gong Zhan and think of a way to bring them together.

Gong Xin still believed that Gu Zi was more suitable to be her sister-in-law than Lin Miao.

Gu Zi, however, was not like Lin Miao, who was oblivious and lacked Imowledge.

Gu Zi attentively picked up a noodle and fed it to Su Le. Looking up, she replied, “I sold my job because I wanted to stay in the countryside. Hurry up and get the money.”

Gong Xin was not ready to give up. “Are you resigned to your fate? Aren’t you going to fight for it? As long as my brother is willing, he can help you repay the three thousand yuan betrothal gift..”
