Lin Miao's Deep-Seated Hatred
At the entrance of Little Lin Village, a small car came to a halt, capturing the attention of the onlookers.
In the back seat of the car, Lin Miao observed the envious glances from the villagers outside and smiled with an air of pride.
She was reborn. She was a city girl in her previous life, yet she was mistakenly taken away when she was still a baby. Gu Zi had stolen her good life.
Growing up in a destitute mountain village, her parents were ineffectual and couldn't provide her with the life she longed for. She had to fight for it herself, and decided to change her fate by marrying someone.
She had taken a fancy to Su Shen from the neighboring village. He was the owner of a pig farm and the most affluent individual in their region, with assets worth a staggering 10,000 yuan.
She was also drawn to Su Shen's looks; he was tall, handsome, and outshone the other local men.
Fate played a part since Su Shen was actively seeking a partner who could take good care of his three children.
She had no inclination to look after those children, but to escape her impoverished family, she had to begrudgingly agree.
However, she harbored a deep aversion to this condition, and her frustration often manifested in her treatment of the three children. In her mind, their presence made her life unnecessarily challenging.
She scolded them, hit them, and even threatened them with silence, so they wouldn't tell Su Shen.
Where was Su Shen? He left early and returned late, often staying away under the pretext of work. On numerous occasions, he even slept in a separate room, avoiding any physical intimacy with her.
Lin Miao eventually learned the true reason behind Su Shen's reluctance to engage with her.
He had encountered a woman in the city and had fallen in love at first sight. Despite that woman being married, Su Shen remained uninterested in anyone else.
It was only later that she discovered the woman's identity – Gu Zi, the same Gu Zi who had stolen her life.
At that time, she realized that she was not the biological daughter of the Lin family, but the daughter of the wealthy Gu family in the city.
She was supposed to grow up happily, get engaged to a handsome young officer, get married, and live a happy life.
Yet, due to an upbringing by the wrong person in a destitute village, she had endured undeserved hardship.
Since she was the biological daughter of a rich family in the city, why did she have to suffer so much and take care of Su Shen's children in a poor village?
She stormed into the Gu family, demanding to reclaim her true identity.
However, her inability to conceal her feelings led to her being cast aside. Gong Zhan's relationship with Gu Zi continued to strengthen, while Su Shen divorced her, and she met her death filled with bitterness.
It was all Gu Zi's fault, Gu Zi, Gu Zi!
Lin Miao despised Gu Zi to the core. Perhaps the magnitude of her resentment enabled her rebirth.
In her previous life, she discovered her true identity far too late, leading to the tragic course of her life.
This time, she had reclaimed her identity as part of the Gu family, the woman slated to wed Gong Zhan and become the wife of an official.
She vowed to trample Gu Zi beneath her heel, ensuring she would never rise again.
She wanted Gu Zi to marry Su Shen and endure life with that dull man.
Furthermore, she would contend with the three wretches who weren't her biological children and care for them in the countryside until they went insane.
So what if she made a sum of money by selling her job? As long as she was burdened with the Su family's handful of brats, she couldn't achieve anything.
Su Shen's primary reason for seeking a woman was to care for his sister's children. He wouldn't permit her to take money to start a career.
In a decade, she would become an old woman. By then,it would be impossible to achieve the glory she once held in her previous life.
That Gu Zi was exceptionally clever in her former life, earning an ample fortune.
Lin Miao felt that Gu Zi's willingness to go to the Su family might be to retreat in order to advance so she told her parents that Gu Zi was able to work at the radio station because of their upbringing.
Hence, the money derived from selling her job should rightfully belong to the Gu family, and they should reclaim it.
With the money recovered, Gu Zi would have no choice but to marry Su Shen.
The Gu couple found the reasoning sound and promptly decided to drive to the Lin family and request the reimbursement of the funds for their biological daughter.
This would put the Lin family in a predicament, making them take the Gu family's side and approach the Su family to demand that Gu Zi return the money.
For the sake of tranquility, Su Shen certainly wouldn't want to escalate the situation.
Lin Miao was all too familiar with that man. He was as cold as ice and devoid of compassion, an emotionless iceberg.
At this moment, Gu Shan emerged from the car and inquired about the Lin family's address.
"Isn't that Lin Miao?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's Lin Miao. Look at her! She's wearing makeup and carries herself like a city dweller!"
The villagers of Little Lin Village had watched Lin Miao grow up. While her skin was naturally a bit weathered, she was undeniably attractive. Now, with her affluent parents by her side, she looked even more stunning in such attire.
Wealth was undeniably appealing.
Observing the Gu family's stylish car, the locals couldn't help but envy the luxury it represented.
Under the crowd's watchful eyes, Lin Miao stepped out of the car in her western-style square heels.
The car couldn't drive the rest of the way, so they had to walk.
When everyone saw that this family was also going to visit the Lin family, they sighed.. The Lin family was proving to be quite the spectacle today!
