Chapter 359 - 359: Truly Unkind

Lately, the Central South Military Region had been bustling with activity, and he would not bother the old commander with such trivial matters.

Moreover, what was his obligation to the Gu family? If it weren’t for his connection with Su Shen, even if the old man from the Gong family were to invite him, the three of them might not necessarily attend.

“Deputy Director, Captain He means that at least you should go,” one of Captain He’s subordinates whispered into the Deputy Director’s ear.

Deputy Chief He instantly understood, laughing as he replied, “Tell your Captain that his father said he should invite Uncle Huo himself, and mention that Su Shen will be there.”

The subordinate immediately understood and left to find Captain He.

Exiting the Deputy Director’s office, he headed straight for Captain He’s desk. The surrounding people, sharp-eyed as they were, couldn’t help but wonder when the Gu family had become so close with Deputy Chief He. They were even inviting him to a banquet, and he didn’t seem to have refused.

Whispers and speculations spread amongst the crowd, quickly reaching the ears of Aunt Wang, who had been transferred to the cleaning department.

Just having finished cleaning the bathrooms, she looked at her reflection in the mirror, despising the cleaning uniform she was wearing. A strong sense of hatred and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Her current predicament was all thanks to the Gu family. They were getting along well, but they didn’t help her speak to Deputy Chief He Ming to get her position back. The Gu family was truly unkind!

It seemed she would have to rely on herself. On the day of the wedding banquet, she would have to butter up Deputy Chief He Ming with her husband, offering him a few drinks. There might still be hope to get her old job back.

Gu Shan, having managed to invite Deputy Chief He and his group, felt refreshed and cheerful all the way home. He even hummed a little tune. Zhang Mei was also happy, following behind Gu Shan with a straighter back than before.

Although the Gu family lived in the military compound, there was a difference between those who lived in apartment buildings and those who lived in detached houses.

The Gu family lived in the most common type of apartment building, while the Gong family lived in a high-end detached house. It was clear to everyone which family was of higher status in this marriage alliance.

If it hadn’t been for Mrs. Chen’s appreciation of Gu Zi’s beauty and excellence, and her initiative to propose Gu Zi as a daughter-in-law for the Gong family, this marriage would not have happened. But it was precisely because of this marriage that the Gu family began to make a name for themselves in the compound.

To outsiders, although the Gu family was not on par with the Gong family, at least the Gu family’s daughter was presentable, leaving no room for gossip.

However, it was later discovered that Gu Zi was not their biological daughter. Their real daughter, Lin Miao, had been raised in the countryside for over a decade and couldn’t compare to Gu Zi in any way.

Now that the bride was Lin Miao, the gossip behind their backs increased, with many feeling that the marriage was unequal and inappropriate.

In the grand courtyard, there were more eligible girls than just those from the Gu family. They all paled in comparison to Gu Zi, but not one of them would admit to being inferior to Lin Miao. Why should it be Lin Miao who marries Gong Zhan? It was simply an insult to Young Master Gong.

As Zhang Mei pondered this, she exhaled a sigh of relief, “At the wedding banquet tomorrow, when Deputy Chief He and his group make their appearance, I’d like to see who dares to say that our Lin Miao is not worthy of the title of Mrs. Gong. Who dares to belittle our Gu family.”

Gu Shan lounged comfortably on the sofa, taking a sip of water before speaking, “Don’t worry, as soon as He Ming and his group arrive, no one will think that our Gu family lacks connections or support. Even those relatives of the Gong family who look down on people will have to come and curry favor with you. Just wait and see how they try to please our family, hahaha…”

Speaking of the weight of the old leaders, one of them was even more influential than Gong. Even if Deputy Chief He and Boss Huo, these two big figures, were present, they wouldn’t be inferior to the Gong family.

After the wedding banquet, even the Gong family would have to give the Gu family some respect.

Listening to her parents’ conversation, Lin Miao was secretly delighted. She hadn’t expected that they could really invite those big shots to the event. Humph, she was looking forward to seeing how those high-ranking children who grew up in the courtyard would grovel before her, Lin Miao!
