Su Cen scoffed, “Director, I’ve lived here for decades . Don’t tell me that you don’t recognize me?”

“H… What? Decades? Who are you?”
Su Cen walked down the steps .
A few of them were so afraid of Su Cen that they wanted to step backward .
But they were called back by the village director’s eyes .
Were these old men terrified of Su Cen?
Su Cen asked, “Take a good look . Do you really not recognize me? I have never forgotten you, though . I have never forgotten how you used to take food away from my family, making us nearly starve to death during the winter . ” When she smiled, she looked a little ferocious . Although she still looked gorgeous, there was an air of vengefulness .
The village director was used to making a good fortune here . He had relatives in the town and in the city, so in all his years of leadership, he had turned over many plots of land . His own home was built up to six stories high and nobody could stop him .
Su Cen continued, “I also have not forgotten how you made my parents cut grass in early spring . They did not receive a single cent of the money and they labored like this for free . They even had to endure your abuse . ”
“I had not forgotten how, when I was still a child, you wanted to force me into marriage . I refused to marry and you pointed your finger at me and insulted me . ”
Lin Che listened from the back and felt furious . How could this person be so vicious?
Her mother endured worse than she did in her youth .
Lin Che looked at her mother with an aching heart . She thought that her mother was definitely stronger than she was so that she could remain standing till today .
The village committee members looked at Su Cen, feeling somewhat guilty .
However, the village director did not think that way .

He scoffed at Su Cen, “Who would remember anything about all these boring old gossips? Furthermore, you’re not Su Cen at all . Stop pretending . ”
He was already prepared . He took out the household registrar and said, “Take a look . The old lady’s daughter, Su Cen, is long dead . You’re not Su Cen!”
Su Cen stood there as she pursed her lips, staring angrily at this greedy man .
How could such a person exist until now without anyone taking him down?
Lin Che walked down to stand beside Su Cen, “Mom, forget it . It’s no use talking to this kind of person . If he had a conscience, he wouldn’t have been such a pig for so many years . ”
“You…” The village director looked at this mother and daughter duo .
He had to admit that their family genes were good . The daughter was also gorgeous and looked so much like her mother back in the day .
Now, she was even a celebrity . She was really successful .
But it was too bad . So what if she was a celebrity? Here, he was the king and he didn’t have to care about anyone .
The village director laughed and looked at Lin Che . “Let me tell you, don’t think that you can get anything you want just because you’re famous . When one is far away from authority, the powers that be will not intervene here . Even if you are a god, you have to bow your head here . Don’t come here and act all arrogant . Otherwise, I won’t treat you with respect, either . ”
Lin Che could not believe that a village director had the cheek to say such arrogant words .
Perhaps it was true that when one was far away from authority, the powers that be will not intervene . No wonder there were arrogant people like him .
The village director said, “Don’t come here and be arrogant . If you dare to do anything, I’ll tell the public that you came to the village like a tyrant . You even wanted to upturn the land for profit so that you could build a private mansion and become the boss here . I’ll tarnish your name so badly and I’ll see how you’re going to handle that . ”
He knew that public figures feared this kind of gossip the most . Thus, they wouldn’t dare to do anything .

Lin Che looked at this clown and remained silent . Just then, the doctor hurriedly came out .
“Miss Lin, Miss Lin! Bad news . The old lady is not going to make it . ”
Lin Che and Su Cen were shocked . They couldn’t be bothered with the village director anymore .
They quickly headed into the room .
The old lady was on the bed, moving ever so slightly .
Lin Che and Su Cen went to the bedside .
Lin Che held Granny’s hand . “Granny…”
Su Cen also called out, “Mom, we’re both back . ”
Her hand seemed to move lightly, caressing Lin Che and then Su Cen .
It looked so endearing . It was heartwarming .
Su Cen said plainly, “Mom, I never took care of you my whole life . In my next life… In my next life, I still want to be your daughter . ”
Lin Che saw a drop of tear fall from Granny’s haggard face .
However, her lips still curved into a smile .
Lin Che held her hand tighter . “Granny . Granny…”

On the monitor, the heartbeats gradually slowed down and finally became a flat line…
Granny finally completed her long and arduous life journey .
Tears flowed as Lin Che looked at Granny . She caressed her wrinkled face .
The onlookers said that Granny passed away very peacefully . Not a single trace of worry was on her face .
When some people died, they might not even reveal their true selves . However, Granny looked the same until the end . It was clear that she did not suffer .
These were naturally also words to comfort the living, but hearing these did make Lin Che feel a little better .
Gu Jingze helped with the funeral arrangements . As the old lady was a very simple person, there was not much, even though she lived well later on . He chose to have her buried in a cemetery outside the village . Gu Jingze bought a vast plot of land and planted fruit trees . Looking down from the hill, one could see a green wheatfield .
Lin Che kept Su Cen company at home .
When Gu Jingze returned, Lin Che went out . She saw that he looked so busy and humbled . She was very touched .
“Gu Jingze, you’re the Gu family CEO and here you are helping with the funeral…”
Gu Jingze held her hand and said, “Silly, your granny is also my granny . ”
“But, it’s different . ”
At times like these, some people were just like this . It was easier to tell the difference .
Some sons-in-law would help as if they were their own family . Some would hide and not care at all .
Lin Che never experienced all these, but she had heard plenty from other people .
But Gu Jingze never differentiated circumstances between them . He always said that her matters were his too .
Lin Che said, “There’s probably going to be gossip for the next few days . That evil goon sent people to check on us . How annoying . ”
Because she had to deal with the funeral and for Granny to leave peacefully, she did not bother about them .
Gu Jingze said, “Don’t worry . They will only be like that for a few days . ”
Lin Che asked, “Tell me, how can a person like that still be the director?”
Gu Jingze replied, “Small places like these have their own little rules . ”
“But isn’t this a drawback? Can I report it to the president?”
Gu Jingze raised a brow . “Of course… You can call Mr . President right now . ”
“Woah, that would be too petty . Nevermind . Once this is settled, I’ll tell Minmin so that she can have a pillow talk with him . ”
