Chapter 362 - 362: Picking Up Gu Zi ‘s Leftovers

Mr. Su, you’re not attending weddings to show off your wealth.”

Leaning back in the car seat, Gu Zi closed her eyes for a moment of rest. Su Shen’s deep-set eyes were shadowed, his hands slightly tense on the steering wheel.

Today, he didn’t care if he would steal the groom’s thunder. If Gong Zhan dared to squat outside their bridal chamber all night, drinking in a show of defiance, what was there that he wouldn’t dare to do at Gong Zhan’s wedding banquet? Especially when he had nothing to lose.

The grand courtyard in the city.

The Gu and Gong families were to be united in marriage. Although they had agreed not to hold a wedding ceremony, they still wanted to host a lavish banquet, thus deciding to hold it at the Golden Sun Hotel for both lunch and dinner.

The Gu and Gong families agreed to split the cost of the banquet equally. The Gu family didn’t want to lose face and allow others to think that they were merely clinging to the Gong family.

However, in reality, the cost of the banquet, along with other expenses for cigarettes and alcohol, and preparation fees, were insignificant to the Gong family, but for the Gu family, it nearly drained their resources.

Not only did they use Lin Miao’s private money, but Gu Shan also borrowed a considerable amount from his friends.

But to host a grand wedding banquet, Gu Shan felt that owing some money was not a big deal.

In the future, he, Gu Shan, would be a prominent figure in the courtyard. Moreover, he was about to be promoted. The days of glory were long, and he could slowly repay the debt.

Members of both the Gu and Gong families arrived early at the hotel’s reception hall. Mrs. Chen and the Gu couple greeted the guests with beaming smiles at the entrance.

The Gu family had fewer attendees than the Gong family, revealing that the Gu family indeed lacked influential relatives.

Most of the Gong family’s relatives lived in the military compound and were well-known figures. Upon entering, they began to critically assess Lin Miao, reeling tnat sne was not a sultaD1e matcn ror Gong znan.

Some even said that Lin Miao was merely picking up Gu Zits leftovers. Without Gu Zi’s existence, someone of Lin Miao’s caliber would never have the chance to become the Gong family’s daughter-in-law. They wondered what Mr. Gong and Mrs. Chen were thinking, insisting on Gong Zhan marrying Lin Miao, and even rushing the proceedings.

To be honest, in their eyes, even MO Li seemed a better fit than Lin Miao.

Lin Miao had gotten up early to dress up that day. She sat in the reception hall in her beautiful and eye-catching new clothes, but she was left alone, with no one willing to strike up a conversation with her.

Frustrated, Lin Miao’s face turned red, but she could only sit in place, maintaining a composed demeanor.

She was not in a hurry. Her father had told her that Deputy Chief He Ming and the others would come. Once they arrived, the Gu family’s reputation would be upheld.

At that time, these people would have to come and curry favor with her. These snobbish individuals would see clearly that she was the precious daughter of the Gu family, the one who was worthy of Gong Zhan.

The couple of the Gu family, standing outside, didn’t feel much better than Lin Miao. Although they were welcoming guests at the door with Mrs. Chen, the guests were arrogantly dismissive, engaging only with Mrs. Chen and leaving the Gu couple unable to get a word in.

Even when Mrs. Chen tried to steer the conversation toward the Gu family, the guests showed no interest. Gu Shan’s face, left out in the cold, was a picture of discomfort. His smile was as strained as a grimace.

Gu Shan was eagerly anticipating the arrival of Deputy Chief He and his party, unsure of when they would arrive.

Mrs. Chen, not wanting to embarrass her in-laws, suggested that she could handle the guests alone and that the Gu couple should go inside and rest.

Gu Shan and Zhang Mei, tired of their futile attempts to engage, turned and went inside.

Upon seeing Lin Miao isolated, an idea struck Gu Shan. He loudly asked, “Miao Miao, isn’t Captain He coming to attend your wedding? Hasn’t he arrived yet? Did you not give him the correct address?”

Lin Miao was momentarily stunned, but quickly caught on and replied with feigned nonchalance, “Dad, why are you making such a fuss? Captain He is probably waiting for his father to come with him. They should be here soon. Why aren’t you waiting for them outside?”

The attention of the crowd was instantly drawn. Captain He? The only son of He Ming from the Public Security Bureau? The renowned young talent was really coming?

A middle-aged woman turned to Gu Shan in surprise, “The Captain He that you’re talking about, is he from the He family? They’re coming?”

It was strange. They hadn’t heard of any connection between the Gu and He families. Why would He Ming and his son attend the Gu family’s banquet?

And how could Lin Miao possibly know Captain He?
