Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679: Slamming the Door and Leaving

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On this day of rest, the married couple found themselves in a cycle of argument and respite. As soon as one bout of bickering ended, another would begin. At this moment, Zhang Mei started up again, her voice filled with bitter resentment. “It’s laughable, really. What can your leader offer you besides a promise of promotion? Is there any substance to his words?”

She continued, her words laced with sarcasm. “You’re a public servant, a minor official, yet any rural businessman that Gu Zi marries would be more capable and wealthier than you. They live in villas in the village and now they’ve even brought Gu Zi back to the city. Just wait and see, our family will become the laughingstock of the town.”

Zhang Mei understood her husband’s resentment. He was upset that the position had been given to her relatives, and it was eating him up inside.

This realization only served to fuel Zhang Mei’s frustration. She had been married to Gu Shan for many years and had even borne him a daughter. She had worked hard and suffered much, yet he still cared about whether their daughter carried his surname or hers. It was truly outrageous!

Gu Shan’s temper flared at her complaints. He retorted coldly, “Your views are typical of a narrow-minded woman. The leader’s promise is a glimpse of the future, a beacon of hope. What do you know?”

He then turned his ire towards her relatives, especially her elder brother. “What kind of man is he? I remember how eager he was to distance himself when Lin Miao got into trouble. It’s been months, and he hasn’t shown any concern for you. He avoided our house during the New Year’s visit, but now that there’s a benefit, he’s eager to claim it. What kind of elder brother is that?”

Gu Shan’s anger grew as he spoke. He had indeed admired the progress Zhang Mei’s elder brother had made and thought he could be of help.

But on second thought, such opportunistic relatives would surely abandon him at the first sign of trouble. He couldn’t rely on them. It would be better to use the two positions to curry favor with his leader.
