Chapter 364: Basic Understanding

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Mei concluded that the rural man Gu Zi had married seemed to be of some assistance to the Gu family. When they arrived later, she couldn’t afford to neglect them. Reluctantly, she decided to let them sit at the main table.

As Zhang Mei pondered this, she continued to entertain the Gong family’s relatives and friends, her chin unconsciously lifting in a display of pride.

Gong Zhan, the prospective groom, arrived rather late. As he stepped into the reception room, he was greeted by an astonishing sight, causing his brow to furrow in confusion.

His family’s usually haughty relatives were either engaged in conversation with Lin Miao or accompanying the Gu couple in their drinking. There was no trace of the disdainful attitude they had previously shown towards the Gu family.

Most of the people who arrived with Gong Zhan were children of officials, both male and female, all young. Like most people, they had looked down on Lin Miao since they learned of her return.

Although some of them, like Gong Xin, had been jealous of Gu Zi’s excellence, they were also equally captivated by it. Because when Gu Zi stood with Gong Zhan, they made an undeniable match.

Lin Miao, who came from the countryside, of course, couldn’t compare to Gu Zi. Gu Zi was both beautiful and talented, once the most outstanding child in the entire compound. Every family hoped for a daughter like Gu Zi, and if they had a daughter like her, they wouldn’t even want to exchange her for a son.

Therefore, although they were both daughters of the Gu family, without any significant achievements, Gu Zi made people feel that the marriage between the Gu and Gong families was more respectable, giving the impression that the Gu family was not merely clinging to the Gong family.

However, if Lin Miao were the one to marry, the peers in the compound would feel sorry for Gong Zhan, the outstanding one. They would sigh that Lin Miao was not a match for him, and inevitably look down on him.

The young masters and ladies also gradually received some important information after they arrived, their expressions changing from disdain to surprise.

Someone said to Gong Zhan, “I didn’t expect your future father-in-law to be so impressive. He actually knows He Ming, and Lin Miao is good friends with He Ming’s son.”

“Gong Zhan, you’re really not a good friend. You didn’t tell us such important information. I heard that your Gong family and the He family have reconciled behind the scenes, right? He Ming is coming to eat here later, right? Now that’s great, my brother’s case in the Public Security Bureau has hope. You must help me say a few good words later!”

‘My mom just told me that Lin Miao agreed to introduce me to He Ming’s son, Captain He! Gong Zhan, you’re really capable. Gu Zi was so excellent before, and now Lin Miao is also so capable. You guys just wait to drink at my wedding with Captain He.”

The public opinion about Lin Miao had suddenly shifted. As Lin Miao’s spouse, Gong Zhan’s face was radiant, and his brows were noticeably more relaxed. However, he couldn’t understand. He had known the Gu family for more than a day or two, yet he had never seen any interaction between the Gu and He families. What was going on?

They said that Lin Miao and He Ming’s son were good friends. Could it be that Lin Miao had some connection with the He family beforehand? If that were the case, Lin Miao could indeed provide some assistance in his work…

Later, when most of the important guests had been greeted, Mrs. Chen also entered the reception room, hand in hand with Gong Zhan.

They happened to overhear someone mentioning how good the relationship between He Ming and Gu Shan was, and that He Ming was also coming for dinner, only because of Gu Shan’s face.

Mrs. Chen looked at her husband in confusion. Mr. Gong slightly furrowed his brows, As He Ming’s longtime rival, he believed he had a basic understanding of his opponent. He Ming didn’t seem like someone Gu Shan could invite.

Mr. Gong whispered to his wife, “The Gu family has always been beneath us. It’s inevitable that they would feel inferior at times. Let them boast, let them

“

Mrs. Chen nodded in agreement. Just then, a familiar voice rang out, causing the usually unflappable Mr. Gong to slightly change his expression. “Old Gong, long time no see. I’m here today specifically for your celebration!”

Mr. Gong and Mrs. Chen looked up, and sure enough, it was He Ming. Beside him was the big boss of Xinghua Department Store, Boss Huo. Were these two really invited by Gu Shan? Mr. Gong couldn’t shake off a surreal feeling.

The eyes of the others also turned towards the entrance of the reception room.. The middle-aged women sitting next to Lin Miao gripped her hand even tighter, excitedly saying, “Deputy Chief He really came! He really came! Our Miao Miao has such a wide network!”
