Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path Chapter 157: A Competent Stepmother

Gu Lingling didn't walk far after coming out of the main house, instead, she circled to the window at the back of the house, from where she could faintly hear the conversations inside.

Everything about today felt off, she refused to believe the Lv family's visit was purely a courtesy call.

Moreover, it happened while Gu Chunhai wasn't ho because he was taking a long-distance trip for soone else.

Settled?

Settled what? Are they really planning to match her with Lv Guodong?

Seeing Old Mrs. Gu and Wang ili smiling like that, Gu Lingling truly wished she could rush in and slap them both hard.

"Yaya, what's wrong?" Old Sir Gu asked anxiously as he saw his granddaughter enter with a droopy head, "Is there really sothing going on? That old woman is getting bolder these days."

He had called her over for a scolding a couple of days ago, even threatening her, which managed to calm her down for a few days, but now what kind of nonsense is she up to again?

"No, Yaya, help grandpa down, I need to question this." Old Sir Gu said as he prepared to get off the kang.

He couldn't allow that muddle-headed old woman to ruin his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, don't worry, it's fine." Gu Lingling hurriedly supported Old Sir Gu.

Old Sir Gu gave his own legs a furious pound, blaming himself for dragging down his son and now his granddaughter too.

"Grandpa, don't be like this." Gu Lingling hugged Old Sir Gu, "I'm here, don't you trust your granddaughter? Everything will get better."

Finally, having cald Old Sir Gu, Old Mrs. Gu's voice ca from the door, "Lingling, your Uncle Lv and the others are leaving, co out and see them off."

"This child since young..." Without a mother, has no manners.

Before Old Mrs. Gu could finish her sentence, Wang ili interrupted, "Mom, I'll go see them off."

This wretched girl Gu Lingling was acting unpredictable lately; if anyone dared to say anything about Yao Ruqian, she would surely cause a scene.

Gu Lingling hadn't married over yet, Wang ili didn't want any mishaps or drama before then.

Sure enough, Gu Lingling stayed inside and didn't go out.

"Sis, it's better not to let Guodong know about this." Wang ili said with a chuckle to Wang Xintao after stepping out of the Gu family's door.

Wang ili definitely noticed how Lv Guodong looked at Gu Lingling when she ca in, his expression was just like a young lad experiencing first love.

Previously, Gu Juan always said Lv Guodong disliked Gu Lingling, so why this change? But no matter what, Wang ili couldn't let Lv Guodong ruin her entire plan.

She had been plotting this for several months and only managed to persuade Wang Xintao to co and take a look now.

"What's this? You still don't believe us?" Wang Xintao said with displeasure written on her face.

"That's not what I ant at all." Wang ili laughed, "You have no idea, that girl is so sly now, I'm just afraid sothing might go wrong."

"The more Guodong doesn't know the truth, the more believable it is, so that girl will be totally willing."

"Once Gu Qing and she have crossed the line, what's left for her to say? She only has herself to bla for being indiscreet."

"Dear sister," Wang Xintao laughed, "You're certainly doing your duty as a stepmother, let's go with your plan."

Though it was at the cost of Gu Lingling, it benefited her son, making Wang Xintao eager to see it through.

But inwardly, she grew cautious, deciding to keep so distance from this cousin in the future.

Too ruthless.

Ruthless, wasn't it?

If she wasn't ruthless enough, that wretched girl would be stepping all over her.

Wang ili pretended not to catch the sarcasm in Wang Xintao's words, giving a subtle smile as she escorted them to the village entrance.

"Where's Guodong?" Wang Xintao finally realized her son hadn't followed over, "Forget it, we'll head back first, when you see him later, tell him to co back early."
