Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife-Chapter 47: Wandering Eyes
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Gu Jiaojiao pushed the wheelchair and left as well. Everything she had just said was the truth.
The original owner of this body had truly been reincarnated, and she was indeed a soul that King Yan wouldn’t accept.
As for whether anyone believed her, she didn’t know. All that mattered was that she had a clear conscience.
The only one present who believed her was Su Shuochi. He had been holding her hand tightly from the beginning and still hadn’t let go.
The Sheng Family had long ceased to be important to her. She now had a lover and a family of her own.
Even setting aside the fact that she had saved the Gu Family’s lives, they were her family regardless.
Getting along with the Gu Family was much more relaxed and natural than her previous life with her father and stepmother’s family.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed the wheelchair past Song Zijin without even giving him a second glance.
Meanwhile, Song Zijin was still mesmerized by Gu Jiaojiao’s beautiful face, not even realizing she had already passed him.
Song Zijie glanced at his cousin and saw him staring foolishly at Gu Jiaojiao, yet not daring to follow her.
He was probably afraid of the man beside Gu Jiaojiao. That man was a legend in their residential compound, and a fierce one at that.
He had heard of Su Shuochi back when he was a sent-down youth. In the eyes of all the adults, Su Shuochi was the most capable and outstanding child.
He used to scoff at the idea, but now he found himself wanting to befriend him. He didn’t know why himself.
Song Zijie’s position in the Song Family was awkward. It wasn’t because he was an illegitimate son or anything like that, but because he was born with a bad heart.
He couldn’t attend public events, so the outside world assumed Song Zijin was the eldest grandson of the Song Family.
It was true that Song Zijin was the eldest son of the main family line, but he wasn’t the eldest grandson. Song Zijie was three years older than him.
However, Song Zijie and his parents never cared about these things. Only his eldest paternal aunt was obsessed with it, always emphasizing to outsiders that her son was the eldest son of the eldest branch.
Seeing his cousin’s love-struck fool act, Song Zijie sneered inwardly. ’A fickle man like him doesn’t deserve love.’
"Zijin, aren’t you supposed to be at school? Why’d you skip class? You can’t be doing that. Grandpa paid a hefty price for your university spot, you know~"
"You? Don’t talk nonsense."
"What part of that was nonsense? Did you not skip class, or was your spot not bought?"
"You short-lived whelp, you’re being completely unreasonable! I can’t be bothered to talk to you," Song Zijin hissed angrily, lowering his voice.
"Now *I’m* the unreasonable one? Do you people even understand what that word means? You call a wonderful person like Gu Jiaojiao unreasonable."
Song Zijie said this in a flippant tone, and his voice was extremely loud. He wanted Gu Jiaojiao to hear him.
"You... I’m not going to argue with you. I’m going back to class." Song Zijin’s voice was quiet.
He looked up at Gu Jiaojiao, only to find that she had already walked past him. She just left without even a word of greeting!
Song Zijin was afraid that Gu Jiaojiao, who was up ahead, would hear them, but at the same time, he hoped she would. His heart was a mess of contradictions.
In the past, whenever Gu Jiaojiao heard someone belittle him, she would stand by his side without hesitation and rebuke them.
’Now, it’s hard to say. She would probably still defend me. She just must not have heard them this time.’
’Even if she didn’t defend me, she wouldn’t be as aggressive as she was with Sheng Shiwen, right?’
’She used to like me so much. If Jiaojiao treated me like that, how would I ever save face!’
’It’s better if she didn’t hear.’
Song Zijin got on his roadster bicycle and headed out of the compound. The university he attended was located outside.
He had long since completely forgotten all about buying liangpi for Sheng Xinglian.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed Su Shuochi along at a leisurely pace. She had indeed heard what Song Zijie said.
She was secretly gloating.
’Oho!’
’The male lead in the book actually bought his way into university? How did someone so pathetic become the head of the Song Family?’
’Top students always look down on slackers. I used to think the male lead in the book was so impressive.’
’Turns out he’s just an empty suit who’s all bark and no bite!’
’Did he trade his IQ for his good looks?’
"Su, Sister-in-law, where are you two headed?" Song Zijie asked, catching up to Gu Jiaojiao and Su Shuochi.
"Hey! Song Zijie, what are you doing here? We’re going to sell liangpi at the entrance of the textile factory."
Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but speak up when she saw that Su Shuochi had no intention of answering.
The main reason was that she felt particularly smug hearing the black market big shot call her "Sister-in-law."
As the saying goes, a woman who’s made it is called "Sister-in-law"; a woman who hasn’t is called a "bitch."
"I didn’t go to class today. Since we ran into each other, I’ll go have a bowl of liangpi at the textile factory entrance too."
"You’re in university?" Gu Jiaojiao had thought Song Zijie just resold goods from the mountains.
"Yeah. Don’t mind my age, but I’m a third-year at Qingcheng Medical University. I’ll graduate in three more years."
’Though whether I’ll ever graduate is another question!’
Because Divine Doctor Jiang had predicted he wouldn’t live past twenty-five. Song Zijie wouldn’t easily share this with strangers.
"You’re studying medicine?" Gu Jiaojiao was stunned. ’You really can’t judge a book by its cover. To think this guy is a medical student.’
She thought someone from the Song Family would study business management, since the book said the Song Family was the wealthiest in Qing City.
"That’s right, I’m studying clinical Western medicine..."
Song Zijie went on and on, and Gu Jiaojiao asked him a few medical questions.
There was a lot he didn’t understand. Although he was smart and quick-witted, he couldn’t fool a medical genius like Gu Jiaojiao.
She just suspected that Song Zijie wasn’t applying himself to his studies. Otherwise, how could he have learned so little after three years of university?
Gu Jiaojiao knew that in the 1980s, most university programs were four years long, but medical schools used a six-year system.
Song Zijie was part of the first batch of students to get into university after the national college entrance exam was reinstated. Logically, he shouldn’t be so pathetic after three years of study!
She didn’t know that Song Zijie often skipped class because of his poor health.
Nor did she know that Song Zijie wanted to earn more money for his parents and three younger sisters in the limited time he had left.
She looked at the devil-may-care Song Zijie. "Since you chose to study medicine, why don’t you take your studies seriously?"
Song Zijie was speechless.
Looking at Gu Jiaojiao, he felt a sense of guilt he had never experienced before, all because he hadn’t been studying hard.
Just as he was at a loss for what to do, a voice rang out, "What’s the point of a doomed man like him studying? Gu Jiaojiao, you’re not trying to seduce him, are you?"
"Aunt, don’t talk such nonsense here. Gu Jiaojiao is already married to Brother Su, and they have a great relationship."
Song Zijie’s teeth ground together, and his voice crackled with uncontrollable rage.
Like an enraged lion, the person he hated most in his life was this very aunt.
"So what if she’s married? How can Cripple Su compare to our Song Family’s invalid?"
Aunt Song was also on a roadster bicycle, and she deliberately blocked Gu Jiaojiao’s path. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Su Shuochi was in his wheelchair, which was slightly lower than Aunt Song’s perch on her bicycle.
But he had a tall and stately build. Even if he couldn’t stand at the moment, his long torso made him taller than Aunt Song sitting on her bike.
He looked down on Aunt Song, like a lofty god gazing at a devout follower who had worshipped him for ten years.
"Do tell. What advantages does your Song Family have that are so incomparable?"
