Chapter 268: I’m Afraid I’ll Be Jealous Of You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi pretended to be enthusiastic as he asked Su Jing and looked at her.

Su Jing waved her hand and cooperated.” Obviously not. But if you really die, don’t worry. I’ll help you sell your job in the textile factory. It’s enough for me to play mahjong a few times.”

When Mother Tian heard this, she thought, This is bad. Su Jing, this bad woman, is already planning to get her family’s money, right?

She did not dare to say that she was going to die. She immediately stopped banging her head against the wall. Her eyes were filled with a strong murderous intent as she warned Su Jing,” Don’t you dare!” You guys actually dare to conspire against my family. Just you wait!”

Mother Tian had no other choice. She left after saying those harsh words. This Gu Zi was not easy to deal with. She had to go back and think of a way to come back.

She would not really chase Su Jing away now, because once Su Jing really left, Tian Hai would have no hope of coming out.

She only had this one son. She would definitely get him out of prison!

Although Su Jing was now leaning towards her maternal family, she knew how unwilling Su Jing was to leave her son.

As long as Tian Hai could come out and coax Su Jing, there was no doubt that she would once again lean towards the Tian family’s side.

In that scenario, they would collaborate to marginalize Gu Zi, with the Su family’s wealth becoming half of Su Jing’s. The Tian family, in turn, would flourish.

After Mother Tian’s departure, tranquility finally returned. Gu Zi was left with a throbbing headache from the chaos earlier.

She led Big Yellow into the house and turned to Su Jing, asking, “Will you be staying for lunch? Your brother will return shortly.”

Su Jing followed her inside. In the past, whenever Big Yellow saw Su Jing, it would treat her as a stranger and bark. However, the improved relationship between Su Jing and Gu Zi had transformed Big Yellow’s attitude. Now, when Su Jing entered, Big Yellow even turned to look at her. It was believed that dogs possessed an understanding of human nature, and Su Jing had grasped a profound revelation today.

Su Jing explained, “I had actually planned to return today, but I didn’t anticipate Tian Hails mother insisting on coming. I know she’s here to stir up trouble, but I believe you can handle it.”

Gu Zi rolled her eyes and retorted, “I still think it’s better if you hadn’t brought her here.”

Su Jing replied, “I’ll exercise more caution next time. I truly appreciate your acceptance. Moreover, I’ve sensed a significant change and a different atmosphere since your arrival.”

During her time in the Su family, Su Jing had never formed strong emotional connections because her parents had passed away early on. Her elder brother, Su Shen, possessed a distant and cold demeanor. Consequently, their home had never felt like a true home nor exuded warmth.

Over the years, Su Jing had sought alternative sources of emotional fulfillment to fill the void in her family’s emotional needs.

After experiencing so many things, Su Jing slowly realized that she seemed to have lost herself along the way.

However, there was no point in saying all this now.

She followed Gu Zi to sit on the sofa and retrieved a bracelet from her handbag. Reflecting on it, she said, “I’ve actually brought something for you. It’s a jade bracelet, and it comes as a pair. My mother gave it to me back then, instructing me to keep one for myself and the other for my brother’s future wife.”

This bracelet could be regarded as a family heirloom, and it was crafted from precious Hetian jade. Although it held substantial value, it carried an even deeper significance, which was why her family had been unwilling to part with it despite their financial struggles.

Initially, Su Jing hadn’t planned to reveal it, so no one else was aware of its existence.

Gu Zi examined the bracelet and inquired, “Why not keep it for yourself? You don’t seem like someone who readily complies with instructions.”

Su Jing placed the bracelet and its box on the low table and confessed, “I did intend to keep it for myself,” she admitted candidly, “but it rightfully belongs

to you. Think of it as my way of trying to earn your favor. Additionally, I skipped your wedding because I was afraid I’d become envious.”

Su Jing understood her brother well. If Gu Zi had married her brother, the wedding would have been a splendid affair. Su Jing, on the other hand, had chosen the wrong person and could only bide her time. Given such a stark contrast, it was hard for her not to feel a pang of jealousy when witnessing such a spectacle. Thus, despite her brother’s invitation, she had opted not to attend.

At that moment, Su Shen returned home. Upon seeing Su Jing, he approached and took a seat beside Gu Zi. He questioned Su Jing with a serious expression, inquiring about her reason for being there.

Su Jing pursed her lips and said, “I didn’t bully your wife. I’m quite nice, actually. I’ve brought her a bracelet that Mom gave me. You can ask her yourself.”

Su Shen turned to Gu Zi for confirmation, and she gazed at the bracelet on the table before responding, “Yes, and I also invited my sister to stay for dinner, but I haven’t started cooking yet, and I’m not entirely sure if I should accept

this bracelet..”
