Chapter 389: He Was Done!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Though Su Shen was considerably older than Gu Zi, he was only thirty and in the prime of his life. He was also a successful businessman, his future bright and promising.

Gong Xin didn’t believe that only those in the military compound had a promising future. In an era where everyone was venturing into business, those who could carve out their own path also had a promising future. Why should a man confine himself to a single corner?

Mrs. Chen’s face softened, the smile she had for strangers disappearing to reveal her true expression. Her lips pressed together slightly as she said, “Indeed, when you compare him to your brother, he may not necessarily be worse off…”

Because they had only heard one side of the story from Lin Miao and the Gu family, everyone had assumed that Gu Zi had married poorly, that a beautiful flower had been wasted.

But now, looking at Su Shen, tall and handsome, full of masculine charm, mature, stable, and successful, Mrs. Chen could see that he was also very cunning, not just ordinarily so. If he were in the military, her own son might not even be able to compete.

Gu Zi had married such a man, and this man had genuinely fallen for her.

“Isn’t that the truth? He might have a good background, but he’s always been crushed in fights. This is the first time I’ve seen my brother beaten so badly. We should go check on him.”

Gong Xin led Mrs. Chen away to find her brother, all the while continuing to criticize him. It seemed as though the mother and daughter both believed that if they finished their criticism now, they wouldn’t have to do it to his face later and hurt his pride.

Mrs. Chen couldn’t help but frown slightly. This Gong Xin was fine until she brought it up, but once she did, Mrs. Chen felt ashamed for her son.

He had been trained from a young age by his military father, and had become the undefeated champion of the new generation in the military compound. How could he be pinned to the ground by Su Shen, and find himself unable to fight back? It was embarrassing, incredibly so. The embarrassment had even reached the countryside!

When Mrs. Chen saw her son, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She scolded her son, “Gu Zi used to like you so much, and this is how you repay her affection? Taking advantage of her when she’s vulnerable, without a shred of gentlemanly conduct. Don’t you understand the concept of parting on good terms? Everyone thought you were going to make peace, to ask for forgiveness. But you, you’ve only made things worse.”

The Gu couple standing nearby were also speechless, quietly agreeing, “Yes, son-in-law, we’re not trying to criticize you, but how could you do such a thing? You’re bringing shame to the younger generation of the compound.
