Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 198: Chapters 197-198: I Will Return



Even though she got Old Man Zhou's assurance, Gu Lingling still felt uneasy.

And this snowfall, just like in the dream, stopped after two days.

The first heavy snow of the winter was significant, and even after it stopped, there was a thick layer of snow on the road.

At this time, the troops would send soldiers to clear the roads. Sometimes, the villagers would join in to help remove the snow.

Following Gu Lingling's instructions, Old Man Zhou and Old Man Qian both obeyed orders and listened to commands. Wherever Gu Tongzhou asked them to clear, they went without saying an extra word.

Fearing that they might say something wrong and be misunderstood by others.

But even so, the day after the snow stopped, a tractor came to the village and drove directly to the old temple in Nanshui Village.

When Gu Lingling saw Gu Juan, she understood.

Jumping off the vehicle, Gu Juan looked at the onlooking villagers with a slight smile, giving off a vibe as if "Mr. Hu is back again."

Gu Juan felt today was simply the most imposing day she had in over ten years. Look, even the usually arrogant Gu Tongzhou dared not do anything to her.

She really wanted to laugh to the sky!

For those who look down on me! Just wait and see! Before, whenever she saw Gu Tongzhou, she would always obediently say, "Hello, village chief uncle."

But when had this Gu Tongzhou ever given her a good face? Instead, he preferred that little bitch Gu Lingling.

Wasn't her family driven out of Nanshui Village because the old village chief's entire family sided with Gu Lingling?

Now, seeing him in front of her, unable to vent his anger, Gu Juan felt a great sense of refreshment. It seems she should come back often, so these people don't forget her.

And Gu Lingling, she just did not believe she couldn't find something against her.

Initially, she wanted to get rid of Old Man Zhou and Old Man Qian together, which would have shown her capability more, right?

But she unexpectedly didn't manage to do it.

No one knows what's backing Old Man Qian.

Someone told her that messing around was fine, but she couldn't touch this person.

Alright, if she can't touch him, she won't. Anyway, her show of power in Nanshui Village today has been perfect. Let's see who dares to look down on her in the future.

As for that affair, Gu Juan had long hypnotized herself into selectively forgetting it.

I don't remember; I know nothing, and nothing happened.

"Gu Lingling, because of my sudden return, I won't visit Grandpa this time. Maybe next time, I'll be back." Gu Juan said with a cold smile as she was leaving, glancing at Gu Lingling.

I'll be back, why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Gu Lingling returned her a cold smile.

So what if you come back?

"Sister Lingling, are we just going to let them take Grandpa Zhou away like this?" Zhao Si'en worriedly asked as he watched those people push Old Man Zhou onto the tractor.

"Don't go out today, just stay obediently at home," Gu Lingling instructed, and seeing that she wanted to speak again, said sternly, "Right now, the most important thing is to protect yourself, understand?"

Zhao Si'en nodded seriously.

"Village chief uncle, what should we do now?" Gu Lingling walked up to Gu Tongzhou and asked.

"This Gu Juan, she simply..." the security director said angrily, "Her paperwork is all in order, I can't stop her."

"But people can't just be taken away like this." Gu Lingling said.

"No, they can't be just taken away like this, I'll go to the city and see." Although the documents were complete, if anything happened to this person, the village chief would also bear joint responsibility.

Besides, since Old Man Zhou came to their Nanshui Village, he's always been honest, saving Gu Tongzhou a lot of trouble.

This person had studied abroad in his early years and is very knowledgeable.

Gu Tongzhou had chatted with him several times, gaining a lot of insights.

"Can I go with you?" Gu Lingling asked.

"Stay home properly, now is not the time to make trouble." Gu Tongzhou said somewhat angrily, "Director Zhao and I will go and find out what the situation is."

Alright, what she had said earlier to Zhao Si'en was now being returned by the village chief uncle.

Gu Lingling lowered her head without speaking, but in her heart, she was pondering when she should go to the city and see what exactly happened.

"Listen to the village chief." At some point, Old Man Qian stood behind Gu Lingling and said, "Don't think about sneaking away to find out."

Gu Lingling, "..."

Old Man Qian, why are you so sharp? How does he know everything she's thinking?

"Old Zhou will definitely be fine." Old Man Qian wasn't sure whether he was telling himself this or comforting Gu Lingling.

"The new cotton-padded jacket you gave him, was it because you feared such a day?" Suddenly, Old Man Qian asked puzzledly.

Gu Lingling, "..."

"I was just worried he'd be cold."

Alright, this excuse should be fine.

Old Man Qian, "..."

Leaving only a silhouette to Gu Lingling in the wind and snow.
