Chapter 336: Feeling Depressed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Shan desired to make connections with Deputy Chief He and his associates through Su Shen. Therefore, despite the anger boiling within him, he swallowed his pride and refrained from causing a scene.
He could tell that Su Shen had taken a liking to Gu Zi. If he could get Gu Zi to attend the wedding banquet, Su Shen would surely come as well, providing him with a reason to invite Deputy Chief He and his associates.
Gu Shan had initially planned to go to the village to personally invite Gu Zi and Su Shen. However, an unexpected encounter with Gu Zi made him decide to hand her the invitation on the spot, saving him the trouble of a separate trip.
He said to Gu Zi, “Your mother and sister are constantly worrying about you. Let’s not dwell on that. Just come to the wedding banquet. But I must warn you, Su Shen already has children. He is currently spoiling you because of the novelty of your marriage. You can be willful now, but once the novelty wears off, things will change. You need to learn to grow up.”
At first glance, his words seemed considerate, as if he genuinely cared for Gu Zi. But upon further thought, they left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Gu Zi realized that Gu Shan was implying she was ungrateful. However, she did not refute him. Instead, she took his words in stride and responded with a tone of complaint.
“Uncle Gu, you make a good point. I’ve noticed that Su Shen has indeed changed. He is no longer willing to give me money to spend. Look, I just paid my father’s hospital bills and bought so many things. I don’t have much money left. I think I will skip the banquet. If I buy new clothes and can’t even afford a gift, wouldn’t that be embarrassing for you?”
Mother Lin, who was listening from the side, blinked in surprise. Su S wasn’t giving her money to spend because all the household money was in Gu Zi’ s hands.
Mother Lin was a bit confused as to why Gu Zi would say such a thing, but she didn’t say anything and went back to looking for her knitting supplies, not wanting to get involved in the conversation.
Gu Shan, hearing Gu Zi’s words, felt vindicated in his belief that a man with money is prone to change his ways, and that Su Shen would eventually do the same.
While Su Shen was still doting on Gu Zi, he had to quickly leverage Su Shen’s connections to meet useful contacts. In the future, he would primarily rely on Lin Miao and Gong Zhan.
