Lin Miao had Zhang Mei by her side, but at this moment, she couldn’t find joy.
For some reason, she felt like she had taken the wrong step. Even though Su Shen was cold and unfeeling, he was a wealthy and handsome man. She felt like she had given Gu Zi an advantage!
Moreover, in this new life, Su Shen didn’t seem as indifferent as in the previous one. Otherwise, why would he organize such a grand wedding?
But weren’t there those three gloomy children? With those three around, Gu Zi wouldn’t have an easy life.
Thinking of this, Lin Miao felt somewhat relieved.
Gu Zi could tell that the Gu family was blaming her because she didn’t actively send them wedding invitations. But didn’t the Gu family say they didn’t want any more connections?
When she went to change her household registration and get married, even though she didn’t change her name, she had mentally agreed to sever ties with the Gu family. It didn’t matter whether she changed her name; people had called her that for so many years.
Gu Zi wasn’t angry. She calmly said, “I misunderstood. Aunt Zhang, when you said as long as I didn’t wander aimlessly in the city, it would be the greatest repayment to the Gu family, I thought that meant you wouldn’t come to the wedding either.”
Gu Shan and Zhang Mei frowned upon hearing Gu Zi’s words. They did have such thoughts.
As for coming today, they were indeed upset because Gu Zi hadn’t invited them.
People around heard Gu Zits words and rolled their eyes. The Gu family didn’t want anything to do with Gu Zi, but now they came to the wedding to lecture her? How absurd!
Lin Miao, seeing that her parents were in the wrong, hurriedly said, “Sister,
Mom and Dad actually care a lot about you. The way they spoke before was to ease your worries and with good intentions. Now that you’re getting married, they are truly concerned and came to support you.”
Gu Shan and Zhang Mei immediately agreed with Lin Miao’s words. They considered themselves significant figures in this scenario. Hadn’t they come all the way here just to give Gu Zi some face?
Hearing this, along with the surrounding guests, Aunt Yang rolled her eyes secretly. The sense of superiority among city people was quite strong.
She couldn’t see anything remarkable about the Gu family. Instead, she felt they were quite impolite, troubling the bride like this. Didn’t they see the bride was about to change clothes?
Gu Zi was also speechless, the audacity of these people.
Just then, firecrackers sounded at the entrance again. Soon, a man and a woman walked in—Deputy Chief He and his wife, He Ting. Both Gu Shan and Zhang Mei recognized them.
Seeing Gu Zi with a bright smile, they didn’t pay attention to the Gu family. They greeted Gu Zi and had the driver carry a delicately wrapped gift box to the helpers.
Gu Zi also greeted them warmly, “Uncle He, Aunt He, welcome! The banquet is about to start; it’s in the back. I’ll have someone take you there. Su Shen is also over there.”
He Ting said, “You must be going to change your clothes. Don’t mind us; go ahead. Oh, this is a gold lock necklace we gave you. It looks beautiful on you.” Seeing the bride all in gold, He Ting was especially pleased.
Aunt Yang also showed a smile from the side. This was the demeanor of influential figures!
Gu Zi said, “I also think Aunt He’s gold lock is beautiful, and the gold bracelets and rings from others look great too. They definitely can’t be gold-plated.
Uncle Gu, Aunt Zhang, you’re mistaken.”
He Ting’s expression changed. “Who’s talking nonsense? How could I possibly give gold-plated items?”
Her gaze immediately turned into a sharp sword, directed at the Gu family.
He Ting recalled the incident of her husband helping Gu Zi change her household registration. Suddenly, she understood the relationship between the Gu family and Gu Zi.
Gu Shan, Zhang Mei, and Lin Miao had expressions that looked like they were suffering from constipation. If facial expressions could have colors, the faces of the Gu family would be a kaleidoscope.
How come Deputy Chief He and his wife were here? This couple was known for avoiding private relationships within their social circle.
Even when the Gonz family held major events, this couple wasn’t pecessarily
present. And the fact that the gold lock Gu Zi wore was a gift from He Ting!
Gu Zi even referred to them as Uncle He and Aunt He.
Most importantly, compared to Deputy Chief He, Gu Shan, a mere company commander, was nothing in terms of status. This was embarrassing!
But Gu Shan was an old fox after all. Despite feeling guilty, he remained calm on the surface. He said to Lin Miao, “These two are Uncle He and Aunt He; quickly address them.”
Lin Miao quickly went forward and addressed them politely, but Deputy Chief He did not respond at all..
