Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon-Chapter 1132: Chatting Until Dusk

Over time, the bond between husband and wife had withered to the point where love was hardly a consideration anymore.

Gu Zi pondered for a moment and then said, "You’re really not that fat. Honestly, from what I see, it seems like you haven’t quite recovered after giving birth. If you balance your food intake with some exercise, you can easily fix it. But, Sun Yi, are you trying to lose weight more for yourself, or to win back Chen Yu’s heart?"

Sun Yi looked at Gu Zi with a knowing glance. "I can see you’re a sharp one, so let’s not beat around the bush. I came here because I heard that you and Su Shen are very close. He loves you so much, often turning down social engagements just to spend time with you. I thought I’d come and get some tips from you. After all, every woman wants to be beautiful. Of course, I want to look better for myself, but if I can look good and win his heart back, that would be even better." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Gu Zi smiled. "Well, then, in that case, you’re already in a good position. You’ve got great features, and with some effort, you can tone your body. Plus, you have money, so why bother with that fickle man? There are plenty of young, handsome men out there. You need to have the mindset that if he can go out and play around, so can you. Try it, and see if he dares to be careless with you."

Most women have their beauty and youth as advantages, often offering emotional support. But Sun Yi? She was a bona fide rich woman. What she could offer Chen Yu, no young woman could ever compete with. Sun Yi had countless ways to deal with Chen Yu; it was simply a matter of seeing things clearly, and once someone pointed it out, she’d get it in an instant.

As if struck by a sudden revelation, Sun Yi grabbed Gu Zi’s hand, her face lighting up. "Yes, that’s it! How did I not think of this before? Now I know exactly how to deal with that bastard Chen Yu. Let me think of a way to thank you properly."

Gu Zi waved it off with a smile. "No need to thank me. We’ll be seeing a lot of each other in the future anyway."

Sun Yi shook her head. "I’m not being polite. I genuinely like you. It’s rare to meet someone like you who clicks with me. I heard from my brother-in-law, Chen Xi, that you moved here because of my a*shole husband. Then he sold the entire project to Su Shen.

"Well, here’s what I can do for you. I have a cousin who was just transferred to a nearby police station as the deputy chief. I’ll ask him to look into things around here, clear up the rumors, and ease the impact of all this gossip on property prices, so you can live here in peace.

"Trust me on this, I really believe that despite the rumors, this place is great. The location is perfect. The government will definitely develop this area in the future. Once Su Shen took over the project, he was bound to make a profit. I’m not speaking for Chen Yu, but he just doesn’t have the capability. If he did, I would never have let him sell everything to Su Shen."

Gu Zi listened, feeling a little guilty but unable to help smiling. She had to admit, Sun Yi was truly impressive. She had immediately seen the potential in this area. No wonder she was so successful in business. Chen Yu must be incredibly lucky to have married a woman like her. Even if Chen Yu’s abilities were lacking, his life would never be lacking in wealth.

Once women open up to each other, they can talk for hours, and so it was that Gu Zi and Sun Yi continued their conversation until dusk.

Sun Yi had to head home, so Gu Zi walked her out. After bidding her goodbye, Gu Zi ran into Jiang Nan, who approached her with a casual smile.

"Your house is always lively. There’s always someone coming and going," Jiang Nan remarked.

Gu Zi returned a polite smile. "It’s just my husband’s friends. By the way, why are you back so late today, Jiang Nan?"

Jiang Nan replied casually, "Both my shops needed to restock today, so I came back later. It’s alright, though. We have someone watching the shops. If I had to take care of the elderly and manage the stores, that would be exhausting. By the way, is Jiang Yao still coming around?"

Gu Zi had heard about Jiang Nan’s husband leaving behind two shops in prime locations. The business was doing well, and Jiang Nan didn’t need to work elsewhere. Her life was relatively easy, but Gu Zi couldn’t help wondering why Jiang Nan was always alone, managing the business without any help.

When she heard Jiang Nan mention Jiang Yao, she responded, "Since that day when my friend caught him trying to run away, he hasn’t been back. I don’t think he’ll dare now. Besides, I have Big Yellow at home. But Jiang Nan, I’m a little concerned about you. You’re taking care of two elderly people by yourself. What if he gets any ideas and tries to break into your house?"
