Aunt Yang couldn’t believe it. The reason why Gu Zi married into the countryside was unexpectedly for this reason. This family was too selfish!
Fortunately, she met Su Shen. If it were any other country bumpkin, wouldn’t a beauty like Gu Zi have to suffer in the countryside for Lin Miao for the rest of her life?
She couldn’t bear to watch any longer and helped Gu Zi to change her clothes.
Others who heard this also shook their heads. Deputy Chief He walked towards the banquet area with his wife, ignoring the Gu family.
Zhang Mei and Lin Miao were distressed about the five hundred yuan. They both said to Gu Shan, ‘We shouldn’t have come here today! Gu Zi, that girl, doesn’t know how to speak sensibly. Let’s leave.”
People around them were pointing and gossiping. Who could eat a meal in such an embarrassing atmosphere?
Gu Shan, however, didn’t care about these things at all. All he could think about was how to get close to Deputy Chief He, gain his trust, and obtain evidence of collusion with Su Shen. This way, he could get promoted!
He said, “We can’t leave. Deputy Chief He is still here.”
Hence, Gu Shan, his wife, and his daughter followed behind Deputy Chief He.
The guests at the banquet had basically been seated, and the sudden appearance of these new guests naturally attracted attention.
Since both the Gu family and the He family were not ordinary, especially He Ting, even though she wasn’t heavily dressed up, she still looked elegant and imposing. As a result, they became the focus of the entire room as they entered, and people began to discuss.
“Isn’t that the official’s wife who went to Su’s house to deliver gifts before? The man next to her must be her husband, an official!”
“I know him. He’s Deputy Chief He from the Public Security Bureau. I saw his picture on the information board when I went to the Public Security Bureau.”
“Wow, I’ve only heard that Boss Su is a retired soldier. I didn’t know he had a relationship with Deputy Chief He. He really keeps a low profile!”
However, these were not the most surprising things. Lin Cheng was arranging seats for the newcomers when two more men hurriedly entered through the door.
These two men had extraordinary auras. One was slim, the other well-built, but they both exuded a kind of mountain king vibe.
They seemed to be in a hurry, and the slim, older-looking one walked in front, beckoning to the one behind. “Little Huo, you need to train. You can’t even catch up to an old man like me.”
The well-built middle-aged man waved his hand, saying, “Commander Kong, you are still robust and strong. Please excuse my late arrival. I finally made it to Su Shen’s wedding. My subordinates are so useless. They only told me about the wedding yesterday.”
Commander Kong stopped and waited for him. He patted the man’s shoulder and said, “It’s the same, it’s the same. I just rushed over from the Central Southern Military Region today. I’ve been driving so fast that my old lungs are about to give out. This Su Shen is ungrateful; he didn’t even invite me. I must settle the score with him!”
Deputy Chief He saw the two approaching and greeted them, “My old commander, why did you both come together? Boss Huo, weren’t you on a business trip abroad?”
The old commander said, “Hurry up and call Su Shen over. I have to teach that kid a lesson!”
Boss Huo said, “I just rushed back from abroad. Even if Brother Su’s wedding is far away, I have to come and have a drink! Look, Commander Kong has also come. ”
Deputy Chief He laughed and said, “You might not be able to beat Su Shen, my old commander. Let’s outsmart him. We’ll make him drink until he collapses later. ”
The three big shots laughed heartily, completely at ease, not noticing that everyone else was stunned.
Closest to where they were sitting were a few young people whose eyes were fixed on them.
What kind of lineup was this? Thanks to Su Shen and Gu Zi, these villagers were actually sitting at the same table for a meal with the commander of the Central Southern Military Region, the deputy chief of the Public Security Bureau, and Boss Huo from Xinghua Department Store.
They felt that they would never accomplish anything more prestigious in their lives!
Gu Shan gradually realized that even the commander of the Central Southern Military Region had arrived, along with the owner of the largest department store in the city. His dream of promotion was now shattered.
If it were just Deputy Bureau Chief He and Su Shen having a close relationship, he had every reason to suspect some shady dealings between them. However, with Commander Kong present, Gu Shan knew that his previous speculation was impossible.
He immediately took out a pack of premium cigarettes and walked over to Commander Kong to introduce himself, bringing his wife and daughter along.
When Zhang Mei saw this extravagance and lineup, she was secretly glad that she did not bring the gifts out of the car.
They originally wanted Gu Zi to get them herself, but now, looking at the situation, those gifts were completely overshadowed. If they were taken out, the Gu family would become a laughingstock..
