Gu Shan chuckled, feigning modesty as he spoke, “I’ve already informed

Brother He Ming. He might be late due to his busy schedule at the Public Security Bureau. But he will definitely come. He also attended the wedding of my daughter, Gu Zi, not long ago. Who else was there that day?”

Gu Shan seemed to struggle to recall, and Lin Miao smoothly took over the conversation. “Dad, your memory isn’t so good. Commander Kong from the South China region and the owner of Xinghua Department Store, Boss Huo, were there too! Although you didn’t directly invite them this time, they should come if they know about it.”

Lin Miao didn’t feel like she was lying. He Ming, Commander Kong, and Boss Huo had indeed attended Gu Zi’s wedding. Gu Zi was the adopted daughter of the Gu family, so naturally, they could claim acquaintance with these individuals. They couldn’t have raised Gu Zi for nothing.

The seemingly casual exchange between the father and daughter of the Gu family concealed a wealth of information.

Gu Shan actually referred to He Ming as ‘brother’, implying a close relationship. Moreover, He Ming had attended Gu Zi’s wedding, and on that day, Commander Kong and Boss Huo were also present!

It seemed that it wasn’t as simple as Lin Miao knowing Captain He. The relationship between the Gu and He families was profound. The seemingly ordinary Gu family was actually quite extraordinary!

Even more incredible was Lin Miao’s claim that Commander Kong and Boss Huo would attend even without an invitation. It was hard to imagine just how good the Gu family’s relationship with these big shots was behind the scenes.

No wonder Mrs. Chen and Leader Gong insisted on maintaining ties with the Gu family. For a moment, all eyes in the living room were focused on the father and daughter of the Gu family. The disdainful and contemptuous looks previously cast at the Gu family gradually transformed into goodwill and flattery.

The middle-aged woman who had spoken earlier acted swiftly, removing a gold bracelet from her wrist and placing it on Lin Miao’s.

She laughed, “So Miao Miao’s family is so close to the He family. I heard that Captain He doesn’t have a girlfriend yet. Miao Miao, why don’t you introduce my daughter to Captain He one day? Do you like this bracelet? It’s a special gift for you, Miao Miao .”

Lin Miao looked at the gleaming bracelet now adorning her wrist, suddenly feeling a surge of confidence. So this was what it felt like to be fawned over? It felt great!

Although Lin Miao was overjoyed, she politely declined, “This is too valuable.

It’s just a matter of a few words, there’s no need to go to such expense!”

The middle-aged woman, hearing Lin Miao’s words, was even more convinced of her close relationship with Captain He. Seeing Lin Miao about to remove the bracelet to return it, she quickly grabbed Lin Miao’s hand to stop her. “It’ s customary to give gold at weddings. Wear it quickly, don’t let others laugh at you

At that moment, a figure forcefully pushed the middle-aged woman aside. “Well, you shouldn’t monopolize Lin Miao’s attention all to yourself. It’s not like you’re the only one here for dinner! Miao Miao, this is the gold ring I’ve chosen for you. Don’t underestimate this ring; it’s no less valuable than her bracelet.”

With a resolute heart, another individual unclasped the gold necklace from around their neck and stepped forward to curry favor with Lin Miao. If they could establish a connection with the Gu family through Lin Miao and thus gain the favor of Captain He, what did a gold bracelet or necklace matter? They were willing to give it all away!

Soon, Lin Miao was adorned with various gold ornaments, their lustrous shine casting a rosy glow on her face. She finally looked like a newlywed bride, a sight that seemed rather beautiful.

Meanwhile, the Gu couple was also surrounded by a crowd of people singing praises. “1 took a liking to Miao Miao the moment I saw her. She’s beautiful and outstanding, a perfect match for our Gong Zhan. Brother Gu, I apologize for my earlier rudeness. Allow me to punish myself with three cups of white wine!”

Gu Shan waved his hands dismissively, his tone modest. “There’s no need for that. I’ve never been one for formalities. I’m already grateful that all of you could make it. Whether it’s the senior leaders, Deputy Director He, or anyone else, all are guests. As hosts, we will make sure everyone is well taken care of!”

Despite his words of indifference, Gu Shan couldn’t help but bring up the fact that He Ming and his party were coming. He reveled in the compliments and flattery from those around him, his face beaming with joy. It was as if his soul was being lifted.

Zhang Mei felt a sense of satisfaction she had never experienced before. So this was the privilege that power and connections brought. Inviting He Ming and his party was indeed a wise move.

She hoped that Mrs. He would also arrive soon. She would definitely invite Mrs.

He to sit beside her, as Mrs. He’s aura was no less powerful than that of Mrs.. Chen! From then on, Zhang Mei could also step into the ranks of the high society ladies!
