Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon-Chapter 653 - : Curse Them Dead
Chapter 653: Curse Them Dead
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A bitter pang of sorrow welled up in the hearts of the couple, a sensation they found hard to bear. Zhang Mei couldn’t help but think that despite pulling strings and offering bribes, Lin Miao had still been subjected to such torment. It seemed that Gu Zi had taken her revenge, exploiting her good relationship with Su Shen and Deputy Director He to orchestrate Lin Miao’s suffering behind the scenes.
In what felt like no time at all, Lin Miao had been reduced to this state. If things continued this way, Zhang Mei feared her beloved Miao Miao would die at the hands of Gu Zi. The woman’s cruelty was staggering.
Zhang Mei was torn between heartache for Lin Miao and hatred for Gu Zi. Unable to control her tears, she wept openly, her sorrow flowing freely.
Upon seeing this, Lin Miao seemed unable to hold back any longer. Her tears burst forth like a breached dam, her only free hand reaching out to touch the glass. She stared intently at the couple on the other side, her eyes filled with the hardships and injustices she had endured. She wanted to speak, but her distress left her speechless. All she could do was cry.
The sight of Lin Miao’s suffering broke the hearts of the couple. They realized that the situation wasn’t as simple as they had thought. If only Lin Miao had returned the dowry money, none of this would have happened. They blamed Gu Zi for her relentless pursuit, unwilling to settle the matter privately. Not only had she tarnished the family’s reputation, but she had also subjected Lin Miao to such suffering, leaving her in this pitiful state.
What they failed to notice was the deep-seated hatred lurking in the depths of Lin Miao’s eyes. This hatred was not directed at anyone else, but at them, the couple.
Gu Zi deserved to die, Lin Miao thought. She hated Gu Zi, but she also harbored a deep resentment for the couple. They had lost her shortly after her birth and now, they had abandoned her in prison once again. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
When Lin Miao learned that the couple had given up on trying to get her out, her hatred was so intense that she dug her fingernails into the ground until they bled. She never wanted to see them again. She cursed them, wishing them dead.
Fortunately, Mo Li’s words had reminded her that hatred didn’t mean she had to sever all ties. That would be pointless. She needed to make use of the couple to deal with Gu Zi. Now that Gu Zi had returned to the city and the Lin family was siding with her, Lin Miao couldn’t afford to ignore her biological parents and push them towards Gu Zi. That would be foolish.
For some reason, everything in this life was completely different from her previous one. Even though she had been reborn, she couldn’t control the direction events were taking. She needed a lot of help. She needed to swallow her pride and once again try to win over her biological parents.
She had deliberately cried until she was unable to speak. Only by appearing more pitiful would Gu Shan and Zhang Mei soften towards her and turn their blame towards Gu Zi.
But she couldn’t keep crying forever. She put on a brave face, wiped away her tears, and spoke with difficulty. “Dad, Mom, how are you? I’m sorry for rejecting you so many times. I really had no choice.”
As Lin Miao spoke, she paused for a moment. Zhang Mei, her eyes filled with tears, looked at her with understanding. “I understand now, my dear Miao Miao. You were afraid we would worry. Seeing you in this state… I’m so sorry. I was angry with you, thinking you were being unreasonable. But you were just thinking of us, that’s why you didn’t want to see us…”
Zhang Mei looked at her sensible daughter, her heart breaking. She felt she had let Lin Miao down. Gu Shan, watching the touching scene between mother and daughter, felt a pang of guilt. So, Lin Miao had been avoiding them because she didn’t want them to worry. What a good, mature child she had become!
After an emotional reunion filled with tears, Lin Miao took the initiative to ask, “Mom, Dad, I heard that my sister has returned to the city. Have she and her husband come to see you?”
Zhang Mei looked puzzled. How did Lin Miao, locked up in prison, know that Gu Zi had returned to the city?
She hadn’t wanted to tell Lin Miao, fearing it would upset her. But since her daughter already knew, she decided to tell her the truth. “Yes, she’s back. But she hasn’t come to see us. We don’t exist in her world anymore.
“She’s doing business with her biological parents and fitting in well. This time she came back to the city, she even got a job. She’s going to work at the Guangcheng Newspaper. She doesn’t have time for us…”
Zhang Mei’s words were filled with complaints about Gu Zi. Lin Miao was initially pleased to hear this, but when she learned that Gu Zi had landed a job at the newspaper, she was taken aback. How had Gu Zi managed to get that job?
