Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Suspicion

Su Bing looked coldly at Gu Zi in front of him and then swatted the chopsticks out of Su Li’s hand.

Gu Zi blinked in slight confusion, unsure of what had just transpired.

Su Li, feeling wronged, turned to look at Su Bing.

Su Bing looked warily at Gu Zi in front of her. The last stepmother had poisoned the three of them in order to snatch their father away.

Su Li had also nearly died from her cooking due to his insatiable appetite.

Su Bing recalled what Aunt Chu had said earlier. Even though she had been stingy with their meals, she wouldn’t have poisoned them.contemporary romance

However, this woman was so beautiful, so she definitely had bad intentions.

Gu Zi met Su Bing’s gaze and felt a chill run down her spine. He was only a ten-year-old child, yet he had such a cold gaze.

Su Li’s eyes welled up with tears. He picked up the fallen chopsticks and wiped them clean with his hand, ready to eat the noodles. However, his chopsticks were once again swatted away by Su Bing.

“Big brother, I want to eat,” Su Li said with teary eyes.

“I’ve already told you, you can’t eat it!” Su Bing said, his tone unwavering as he looked sternly at Su Li.

Gu Zi, observing the situation, decided to take matters into her own hands. She picked up her own chopsticks and took a bite from both Su Bing’s and Su Li’s bowls of noodles. She then said, “I’ve had some too, so these noodles are safe.”

Gu Zi placed Su Bing’s chopsticks back in front of his bowl and returned to her seat. She picked up her bowl of egg custard and began feeding a ravenous Lele, who had been crying for food.

Lele was two years old this year. She was already drooling from the smell of rice. Gu Zi took a small handkerchief to help Lele wipe the corner of her mouth before scooping a spoonful of egg soup into Lele’s mouth.

The egg custard smelled fragrant. It was soft, smooth, and melted in her mouth. Her eyes lit up with joy, and she started eating without any need for force-feeding.

Meanwhile, Su Bing and Su Li remained in a daze.

Su Li glanced at the noodles in the bowl, picked up the chopsticks again, and began to eat the noodles silently. He eagerly pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

When Su Bing came back to his senses, Su Li had already eaten a few pieces of meat. He looked at Su Li’s normal expression and frowned slightly.

It was strange.

There was something wrong with this woman.

Their previous stepmother had been terrible at cooking, and she had withheld good food from them. She would keep the delicious food for herself.

The only time that woman had prepared delicious food for them was when Su Li almost died after eating it.

In the end, that woman was chased away by her adoptive father.

Aunt Chu prepared meals for them, but every time she cooked, the food was not delicious, and they were not full every time.

Therefore, in Su Bing’s opinion, as long as someone served him delicious food, it had to be problematic. They must want to harm them.

However, this woman really didn’t seem to have tampered with the food.

How was this possible?

Su Bing’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. There was definitely something wrong with this woman.

The reason why he tolerated Aunt Chu’s terrible cooking was because she would only starve them and not poison them to death.

Aunt Chu would always take away all the good food that their father had sent over, leaving only the unpalatable food for them.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid that the next person who came to take care of them would poison them, he would have told his father about this long ago.

After Gu Zi fed Lele the egg custard, she fed Lele some vegetables and meat. When Lele touched her stomach happily, Gu Zi then moved her chopsticks to eat.

She saw Su Li had finished a bowl of noodles and smiled. “There are still some more noodles in the pot.”

Su Li’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He quickly got down from the chair and went to the kitchen with the bowl.

Su Bing wanted to hold Su Li back, but when he saw that the woman was also eating, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with the dishes.

Gu Zi’s appetite was relatively small. After she finished eating, she saw that Su Bing still had not touched the food. So she said, “I’m done eating. Remember to wash the dishes when you’re done!”

Gu Zi knew that Su Bing was suspicious of people who showed goodwill for no reason.

From another perspective, if she were a little fiercer, perhaps Su Bing would think that she only cooked because she wanted to eat meat as well and would not suspect that she had ulterior motives.

After Gu Zi finished eating, she carried Lele upstairs.

After Su Li saw Gu Zi leave, he said to Su Bing, “Big Brother, the noodles she makes are really delicious.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being poisoned?” Su Bing said coldly.

“Big Brother, didn’t she eat a few mouthfuls first? That means the noodles in the bowl are fine. She ate everything she cooked with us. Don’t think too much about it.” Su Li looked at Gu Zi with anticipation and said excitedly, “I really hope she cooks for us every day!”

Su Bing was speechless.
