Chapter 93 - 93: Just Hold On to Me



Seeing that Gu Zi was so magnanimous, Su Jing quickly said, “You’re the best,

Sister-in-law!”

Gu Zi realized that Su Jing was no fool and understood the value of keeping things civil.

“We can discuss the facts without getting too worked up,” Gu Zi replied indifferently.

Her message was clear: she was willing to let bygones be bygones for this incident alone. Any future grievances would be addressed separately.

Su Shen also saw through his sister’s intentions and issued a warning, “Think carefully about your actions in the future. If something like this happens again,

I won’t intervene on your behalf.”

Su Jing nodded obediently and bid them farewell.

However, as soon as she turned around, the jealousy in her eyes revealed itself.

Su Shen was her brother, and now he was openly and secretly supporting Gu Zi, an outsider. How could she not feel a sense of imbalance?

She realized she couldn’t peacefully coexist with Gu Zi if she wanted to secure her position in the Su family.

It was evident that she needed to pay closer attention to family dynamics in the future, seizing opportunities to undermine Gu Zi’s standing.

Feeling a rumble in her stomach, Gu Zi checked her watch and noted it was already past noon.

She looked up and met Su Shen’s understanding gaze. He said, “Let’s go fill our stomachs first.”

They headed to a nearby state-owned restaurant and ordered a couple of dishes and a soup.

In those days, state-owned restaurants offered a variety of dishes, which were sufficient for the two of them.

As they dined, Gu Zi observed the other patrons in the restaurant. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, and dining here appeared to be a prestigious affair.

Gu Zi remembered that in the 1980s, ordinary people could only afford to dine at such restaurants once a year during the New Year.

The waiters who served the dishes in the restaurant were all dressed in white coats, but their service attitude was not very good. They looked very arrogant.

Gu Zi took a bite of the tomato scrambled egg. Mmm, the taste was really good. It felt authentic.

Putting everything else aside, the hygiene and taste of the food in the state-owned restaurant were guaranteed. At the very least, it would not harm the customers.

“How did you find Chu Banxian?” Gu Zi asked Su Shen.

She believed there was still time to investigate the matter of Aunt Chu’s food poisoning, as no one had witnessed Chu Xi tampering with the food. However, she hadn’t anticipated they would apprehend her accomplice so swiftly.

Su Shen, nonchalantly skewering a piece of tender beef, replied, “We’re all from the same village. We know each other’s connections. We can follow the leads.” Despite his casual explanation, Gu Zi sensed that Chu Xi’s family probably didn’t know about Su Shen’s connections.

After all, someone aware of those connections wouldn’t attempt to poison the Su family’s children.

Nevertheless, since Su Shen hadn’t delved into more details, Gu Zi decided not to press further.

In any case, Chu Xi had been convicted of theft and poisoning and would likely end up in jail.

From this brief exchange, Gu Zi confirmed one thing: Su Shen wasn’t as simple as he appeared on the surface.

After their meal, Su Shen took Gu Zi to the Children’s Palace. Initially, she thought they were simply going for a walk and followed him without question.

It wasn’t until they stopped in front of a roller skating club that she expressed her surprise, asking, “Where are we going?”

Looking at Gu Zit s happy expression, Su Shen knew that he had come to the right place. He was originally a little worried that Gu Zi would not like it.

But soon, the woman frowned and said in embarrassment, “I don’t know how to ice skate…

So that was the reason. Su Shen’s heart, which had been hanging in the air because of her frown, was now at ease.

They entered the skating rink, with Su Shen’s imposing figure leading the way, providing a reassuring sense of security.

He purchased tickets for both of them and swiftly changed into his roller skates.

Observing that Gu Zi was still standing there, seemingly lost, Su Shen approached her and bent down to tie her shoelaces. He reassured her, “I’ll teach you. Just hold on to me tightly.”

As the initially tall Su Shen bent down for her, their eyes met, creating an invisible current of connection.

The sparks of affection spread from their optical nerves throughout their bodies.

Su Shen straightened up, his usually stern countenance softening in the ambient light. His sharp, eagle-like eyes were now filled with tenderness.

Gu Zi didn’t know how she had the courage to take the first step, but as she held Su Shen’s strong arm, she seemed to be fearless.

She only needed to move forward because she knew that no matter how unstable she might be, he would never let her fall. He would always there to support her..
