As they stepped out, Su Shen held the umbrella, carefully shielding Gu Zi under its protective cover until she was comfortably seated in the passenger seat.
Gu Zi was not heavily made up that day. Her face and hands were lightly dabbed with a radiation protection cream. She was dressed simply, a tank top paired with a knitted cardigan, casual pants, and flat shoes. She wore no jewelry, her appearance was understated yet elegant.
Even so, her beauty was undeniable. Her radiant features made her as eye-catching as a rose in full bloom.
Just then, Mrs. Wang was passing by Su's house with her son Yuan Yuan and a few other women. Through the car window, they caught a glimpse of Gu Zi's profile, a sight that stirred feelings of both envy and jealousy.
Mrs. Wang, in particular, felt a strong pang of jealousy. She wondered why such a beautiful woman would choose to live in the countryside. Was she trying to be a phoenix in a chicken coop?
