Aunt Wang spoke with a tone of disdain, “Stop pretending to be wealthy. No matter how genuine your knock-offs may appear, you’re still country bumpkins. You have no sense of propriety, coming to a wedding feast empty-handed. How can you have the nerve?”

Aunt Wang and her husband exchanged a knowing glance, their faces adorned with a contemptuous smile that suggested they saw through everything. They suspected that the couple, Gu Zi, had spent all their money on their outfits to save face, leaving them with nothing to buy a gift. The thought amused them greatly.

They couldn’t fathom why Gu Shan and Zhang Mei would invite such people to the banquet. These country bumpkins were simply not fit for such an occasion. Aunt Wang was about to voice her thoughts when her husband stopped her.

Her husband was well aware that their own gift was not of any significant value. It was merely everyday items like cigarettes, alcohol, and biscuits that others had given them and they hadn’t finished. This made them seem more considerate than the empty-handed Gu Zi couple, but there was no need to voice this so loudly. He was not willing to lose face alongside his wife.

He was also in a hurry to meet Deputy Chief He. He had brought a bottle of fine wine that he had been saving, intending to present it to the Deputy Chief. He had heard that the Deputy Chief had already arrived and he did not want to be delayed by this couple any longer.

He chastised his wife, saying generously, “You’re not young anymore, yet you talk so much. Gu Zi is the adopted daughter of the Gu family, it’s only right that she’s here. Let’s stop talking about this and go in. Gu Zi, you go in first.”

The tall, thin man appeared polite and humble at this moment, but in reality, he was afraid that entering with Gu Zi would damage his reputation. That’s why he urged them to go in first, a move that was hypocritical and pretentious.

Gu Zi and Su Shen saw through his act but didn’t mind. They didn’t want to have much to do with these people. Gu Zi declined his offer, saying, “Uncle, why don’t you take Aunt Wang in first? You seem to be in a hurry. My husband and I are not.”

Aunt Wang snorted coldly and said to her husband, “See? She doesn’t appreciate it. Let’s not bother with her. Whether she can get in or not is still a question. She might just be here to cause trouble. Let’s go.”
