Gu Zi’s voice had risen, but as a former broadcaster, her voice quality was excellent. Even when she raised her voice, she exuded a unique charm.

She introduced her husband with a balanced pride and humility. The two of them standing together now seemed even more compatible than when she had stood beside Gong Zhan.

The crowd was stunned. Wasn’t it said that she had married a butcher from the countryside? Which butcher looked like this?

Looking at his suit and leather shoes, his high-end wristwatch, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these were all genuine. They were not like Aunt Wang and her husband, who were naive enough to think they were fake and meant to deceive people.

Those who had been waiting to see Gu Zi make a fool of herself suddenly fell silent. The fact proved that Gu Zi, after leaving Gong Zhan, seemed to be able to find someone even better.

Aunt Wang and her husband walked in just in time to witness this scene. They were a bit confused. Why were Gu Zi and her husband the center of attention?

Seeing Aunt Wang in a daze, her husband nudged her, “Go find Deputy Chief He, what are you standing there for? Do you want to clean toilets for the rest of your life?”

The man didn’t really care if she would be cleaning toilets for the rest of her life. The key point was that the salary for cleaning toilets was not as high as her previous position. Aunt Wang came back to her senses and hurriedly went to find Deputy Chief He with her husband.

Su Shen watched as Gu Zi confidently introduced herself. He couldn’t help but smile, standing straight with his arm around Gu Zi. The aura he exuded made everyone around him feel insignificant.

Gu Shan and Zhang Mei were overjoyed. They returned to the main table and sat down. Gu Zi and Su Shen took their seats at a table next to the main one. As soon as they sat down, Boss Huo squeezed over, wanting to switch seats with the person next to Su Shen.

Who wouldn’t want to give face to Boss Huo? The person immediately switched seats with him. Boss Huo sat next to Su Shen, feeling much more comfortable. The previously silent Boss Huo was now laughing like a Laughing Buddha, even urging Su Shen to drink with him.

The people nearby were a bit puzzled. Why did Boss Huo seem to particularly like this country man? Looking at them, they seemed quite familiar with each other.

The people sharing the table, who had initially held themselves in high regard and unwilling to converse with a countryman like Su Shen, now began to strike up conversations with him, all for the sake of pleasing Boss Huo. Even their glances towards Gu Zi carried a hint of flattery.

Su Shen, however, responded simply, his attention wholly focused on caring for Gu Zi. The pair seemed extraordinarily affectionate.

Gong Zhan, seated at the head table, watched all of this with a displeased expression. Particularly irksome was the sight of Gu Zi and Su Shen, so perfectly matched, which stung his eyes and left them dry. What was so special about this man that he deserved such attention? How was this country bumpkin better than him?

For the first time, Gong Zhan felt that his relatives were embarrassingly inferior. He was irritated, and even Lin Miao, seated next to him, received his cold shoulder. Lin Miao felt wronged, and her pride had been inflated by the attention she had received earlier. She didn’t indulge Gong Zhan’s petulant attitude and responded with a cold expression.

But Gong Zhan had no regard for her at the moment. His mind was filled with thoughts of Gu Zi, a woman full of cunning tricks. He was certain she was still not over him, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come from so far away to attend the wedding banquet. She even brought along her man and deliberately flaunted their affection for him to see.

Gong Zhan stared at Gu Zi, his gaze fixed on her slender waist. He even believed that she was intentionally showing it off to him, refusing to accept their separation.

At that moment, Su Shen cast a cold glance in his direction, draping his suit jacket over Gu Zi. He raised his voice slightly, telling Gu Zi, “Put this on, don’t catch a cold.”

Gu Zi obediently nodded, saying she understood. She instinctively leaned into

Su Shen, their closeness evident even while eating. It was clear to anyone that Gu Zi was quite happy in her marriage. Only Gong Zhan thought they were putting on a show.

Mr. Gong felt extremely awkward. He had never imagined that he would be seated at the same table as He Ming. What’s more, He Ming didn’t seem to be here just for the wedding banquet. From the moment he saw He Ming, Mr. Gong’s heart had been in his throat.

At that moment, Aunt Wang and her husband were trying to speak with He Ming. He Ming, however, looked impatient and dismissed them with a few words. Aunt Wang and her husband left with green faces.

Mr. Gong, watching this, whispered to his wife, “I told you, this is the real He

Ming. What on earth is he here for?”

Mrs. Chen glanced at him and reassured her husband, “He probably doesn’t mean any harm. Didn’t they say he was invited by the Gu family?”

No sooner had Mrs. Chen’s words fallen than a commotion arose at the entrance of the banquet hall, drawing everyone’s attention..
