Chapter 1079: A Reborn Soul

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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 grandson’s elation, Grandpa Gao and Grandma Gao couldn’t help but feel a little lighter themselves.

But, of course, it wasn’t 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 husband’s sleeve, her voice filled with concern. "I’m going too. At least I should stay with my eldest grandson for a while."

Grandpa Gao thought for a moment. He was already retired and spending his days at home was growing tedious. Following his wife’s lead seemed more appealing. Why not treat this like a trip?

He nodded in agreement. "Alright, we’ll go too. You arrange it, but make sure there’s a room for your mother and me in that courtyard house."

Gao Lang was caught off guard, but he couldn’t 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 hadn’t 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. "Su Li! My parents are going to the capital too! They said they’ll take me with them, and Grandpa and Grandma are coming too! We’ll never be apart again!"

Gu Zi, overhearing this, felt a surge of surprise.

The Gao family was also going to the capital? What a coincidence.

Still, this wasn’t such a bad thing. Gao Ming and Su Li were inseparable, and it was a great joy that they wouldn’t 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, ’I can’t keep wallowing in despair. I’m a reborn soul. This is my life now, and Gu Zi’s 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.’

Wasn’t Gu Zi accepted into the best university? That only proved Gu Zi was better at studying, but Lin Miao wasn’t 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 wouldn’t always be playing second fiddle to Gu Zi!

During her time in bed, Lin Miao hadn’t been idle. She’d 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 Zi’s academic achievements meant she would likely focus entirely on her studies, leaving business aside. If she were truly successful, Gu Zi wouldn’t have handed over such a promising project—Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop—to 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 Zi’s business model and become rich.

She had to visit the Gong family; hiding away wouldn’t do. It was time to take action. If she could get pregnant with Gong Zhan’s 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 Zi’s academic achievements were, they wouldn’t compare to Lin Miao’s wealth and power.

After all, in the future, there would be plenty of people with degrees. But having your own business—now 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 Miao’s 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 wouldn’t 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, "Mom, please, just let me see Gong Zhan. He’s my husband, after all."

Madam Chen wasn’t in the best of moods either. In fact, she secretly felt a sense of relief over Gong Zhan’s transfer to the capital. She told Lin Miao, "If you want to see your husband, I won’t stop you. But he’s really not here. He requested a transfer and left for the capital’s Imperial Military District a few days ago. Didn’t you know?"
