Chapter 1079: A Reborn Soul
Gao Ming felt as though happiness had arrived out of nowhere. Not only would he be going to the capital with Su Li, but they would also be living as neighbors. How perfect was that?
Watching their grandsonâs elation, Grandpa Gao and Grandma Gao couldnât help but feel a little lighter themselves.
But, of course, it wasnât all so simple. Gao Ming had been raised by them since he was little, and the thought of him suddenly leaving for the capital was harder for them to swallow than they had anticipated.
Grandma Gao tugged at her husbandâs sleeve, her voice filled with concern. âIâm going too. At least I should stay with my eldest grandson for a while.â
Grandpa Gao thought for a moment. He was already retired and spending his days at home was growing tedious. Following his wifeâs lead seemed more appealing. Why not treat this like a trip?
He nodded in agreement. âAlright, weâll go too. You arrange it, but make sure thereâs a room for your mother and me in that courtyard house.â
Gao Lang was caught off guard, but he couldnât argue. It seemed like the whole family would be together, just like the Su family. No matter where they went, they never seemed to part.
Suddenly, a sense of envy swept over him. He hadnât realized just how much he longed for that kind of closeness.
Before long, Gao Ming was back at the Su family home, bursting with excitement. He grabbed Su Li and began sharing the news. âSu Li! My parents are going to the capital too! They said theyâll take me with them, and Grandpa and Grandma are coming too! Weâll never be apart again!â
Gu Zi, overhearing this, felt a surge of surprise.
The Gao family was also going to the capital? What a coincidence.
Still, this wasnât such a bad thing. Gao Ming and Su Li were inseparable, and it was a great joy that they wouldnât have to part.
Gu Zi, feeling pleased for them, decided to make a few snacks for the children to enjoy. The atmosphere in the garden was as lively and cheerful as ever.
What no one noticed, however, was Big Yellow, lying in the corner of the yard, all alone in his doghouse. His chin rested on his paws as he quietly watched the children play, his eyes full of melancholy. The poor dog had the distinct feeling he was about to be abandoned again, and for him, joy seemed like a distant memory.
Meanwhile, Lin Miao, who had been bedridden for over a month, finally managed to get out of bed. She reminded herself, âI canât keep wallowing in despair. Iâm a reborn soul. This is my life now, and Gu Ziâs fleeting moment of glory means nothing. I just need to hold on a little longer, find the right opportunity, and I can easily surpass her.â
Wasnât Gu Zi accepted into the best university? That only proved Gu Zi was better at studying, but Lin Miao wasnât lacking in that area either. She had also attended university in her past life and had the qualifications and foresight to know what her future held. If she stayed focused, she wouldnât always be playing second fiddle to Gu Zi!
During her time in bed, Lin Miao hadnât been idle. Sheâd also been thinking about business opportunities. After all, Gu Zi might be good at business, but could she teach anyone how to run a shop? Lin Miao certainly could.
In her previous life, Gu Zi had made a fortune in the clothing business. But in this life, Gu Ziâs academic achievements meant she would likely focus entirely on her studies, leaving business aside. If she were truly successful, Gu Zi wouldnât have handed over such a promising projectâSister Huaâs Gourmet Shopâto that clueless woman, Li Hua.
For Lin Miao, this was a golden opportunity. With the connections she had through the Gong family, she could easily replicate Gu Ziâs business model and become rich.
She had to visit the Gong family; hiding away wouldnât do. It was time to take action. If she could get pregnant with Gong Zhanâs child, her position as the young mistress of the Gong family would be secure.
Then, she could focus on her business. By the time Gu Zi returned from her studies in the capital, Lin Miao might already be a wealthy, successful businesswoman. No matter how impressive Gu Ziâs academic achievements were, they wouldnât compare to Lin Miaoâs wealth and power.
After all, in the future, there would be plenty of people with degrees. But having your own businessânow that was something else entirely. With money, she could buy a degree, and people would bend over backward to please her. At that point, Lin Miao would have no time to even consider competing with Gu Zi.
The thought made Lin Miaoâs blood boil with excitement. She quickly got ready, donned her newest dress, and headed out to the Gong family.
Along the way, she rehearsed the words she would say. This time, the Gong family would have no chance of forcing her out, and there would be no talk of divorce. She wouldnât give them the opportunity.
However, upon arriving at the Gong residence, Lin Miao was surprised to find that Gong Zhan was nowhere to be seen. She pleaded with Madam Chen, âMom, please, just let me see Gong Zhan. Heâs my husband, after all.â
Madam Chen wasnât in the best of moods either. In fact, she secretly felt a sense of relief over Gong Zhanâs transfer to the capital. She told Lin Miao, âIf you want to see your husband, I wonât stop you. But heâs really not here. He requested a transfer and left for the capitalâs Imperial Military District a few days ago. Didnât you know?â
