Chapter 1022: A Vicious Plan

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Miao was well aware that someone like Sun Qi, with her status, was exactly the kind of person the Gu family sought to befriend.

Though Lin Miao and Sun Qi had merely been high school classmates, she couldn’t forget how, back then, Sun Qi had been the troublemaker of their grade. She had poor grades and was constantly causing trouble.

After the top schools refused to accept her, Sun Qi had ended up in a regular school like Lin Miao. And of course, Lin Miao had been humiliated by Sun Qi on several occasions.

But now, Lin Miao knew that Sun Qi and her family had been instrumental in getting her released from prison early, and that was a favor she could never ignore. She decided to let bygones be bygones.

Trying to appear cordial in front of her parents, she quickly answered the phone, adopting a tone of familiarity. “Qiqi, what can I do for you?”

Sun Qi’s voice crackled from the other end. “I’m giving you a chance to repay me—just a small favor. You can find a nanny, can’t you? My mother’s friend needs one. The lady’s name is Huang Fei, and she lives at Jifu New Village, C District, Fulin Road, No. 19. Once you find someone, have her call Huang Fei’s house directly and bring them over. The number is…”

As Lin Miao listened, a knot of frustration twisted in her chest. Sun Qi’s commanding tone made her bristle, but she swallowed her discomfort and held her tongue.

But when she heard the name “Huang Fei,” her interest piqued. Huang Fei—wasn’t that the neighbor who had issues with Gu Zi?

Lin Miao had been quietly gathering information about Gu Zi lately and had heard whispers of her conflicts with Huang Fei.

She had also learned that Huang Fei was a wealthy, influential woman from the capital, with deep ties. If Gu Zi had crossed paths with Huang Fei and now had a feud with the Xu family, things could get very difficult for her.

Lin Miao’s mind started to churn with ideas—twisted, perhaps, but an opportunity like this was too good to pass up. She would not miss the chance to settle the score with Gu Zi. This was the perfect chance for revenge, handed to her on a silver platter.

She agreed to help and set a plan in motion. The next day, she met with Li Li, her old acquaintance, and said, “Find someone trustworthy—someone sharp, if you can. I need to send her to work for an influential family.”

Li Li was all ears. If she could pull this off, the people in their village would flock to her, eager to curry favor and fight for the job. It would raise her status, no doubt. Li Li agreed enthusiastically, promising to find someone by the end of the day.

That evening, Li Li took the day off from the Gong family and returned to the village. She returned with a woman she’d found, and Lin Miao gave her a quick assessment.

The next day, Lin Miao took the new nanny to the Xu family’s home, where she met Huang Fei.

Afterward, as she was about to leave, Lin Miao seized the moment to bring up Gu Zi. “I really must be going now,” she said, making sure to look hurried. “If I’m out too long, my sister will get upset.”

Huang Fei, who hadn’t been particularly curious, turned toward the direction of Gu Zi’s house when Lin Miao mentioned her sister. Her curiosity piqued, Huang Fei asked, “Who is your sister?”

Lin Miao quickly looked away, feigning embarrassment. “I shouldn’t be talking about this. My sister and I aren’t really in touch anymore. She doesn’t consider us family. I’m telling you this in confidence—please don’t mention it. Her name is Gu Zi. She lives just across from you.”

Huang Fei’s eyes narrowed as she absorbed the information. “That Gu Zi—” she muttered with a snort. “She’s the one who’s been causing trouble, isn’t she? Always making things difficult for people. No wonder you’re so kind to her. What good is that? Honestly, I can’t stand her.”

Lin Miao smiled, but her tone had a veiled bite. “Mrs. Xu, it’s not like that. My sister has her reasons. I understand her… and so do my parents. They only want what’s best for her…”

Huang Fei shook her head in disbelief. “So, she’s just some ungrateful person, huh? Doesn’t appreciate all that her family has done for her? Doesn’t that make her a downright ingrate?”

Lin Miao nodded, letting Huang Fei speak her mind. It was all part of the plan. As Huang Fei vented her frustration, Lin Miao basked in the glow of her approval, subtly feeding her negative views on Gu Zi.

It worked perfectly—Huang Fei was finally beginning to see Gu Zi in the light Lin Miao had wanted her to.

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who had been quietly reading in the corner, overheard parts of the conversation. Something about the way Lin Miao spoke didn’t sit right with him. He couldn’t help but feel that Lin Miao wasn’t as kindhearted as she appeared. But he didn’t dare tell his mother; she would just dismiss him, saying that there were things a child couldn’t possibly understand. Still, in that moment, Xu Sheng wished his mother were more like Aunt Gu Zi—more open-minded.

…

After the college entrance exams, Gu Zi found herself with a lot of free time. These days, she spent her mornings driving the Gao family’s car, picking up and dropping off children at school.

Today, as the children finished their classes, Gu Zi arrived, a new hairstyle framing her face. She’d even dressed up to match her new look—donning an outfit that accentuated her voluminous curls. A soft makeup completed the look.

She was determined to be the most dazzling parent in the crowd. After all, if you’ve got a new hairstyle, you might as well flaunt it.
