Can you believe that old hag Gu Qiulin's words? Anyway, she and Gu Qiulin have fallen out, so naturally she doesn't believe a single word of it.
Later, Ya Rou also advised her to be careful and reminded the Shi family not to be ostentatious. She felt that her daughter was living too repressively. With the current status of the Gu and Shi families, why should they be afraid of a mere brat?
The position of head of the Gu family has fallen to her husband, and it will always belong to him. Even if the two elders of the Gu family return to the capital, her family will not be afraid. The two elders have suffered all kinds of hardships and illnesses in the countryside and their health is not as good as before. It is only a matter of time before they die. At their age, how can they compete with her family for power?
Even the Gu Huaiwu family, who were taking refuge on a remote island, didn't dare to step forward and seize the head of the family. She didn't take those two old geezers and Gu Wanwan's bunch of brats seriously. After all, she had a lucky daughter who could lead her and her family to the top.
Meanwhile, the Du family members had different thoughts, all of them longing for the scene of Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen kneeling and begging for mercy.
On the Fu family's side, the Pei family did everything they could to ridicule Gu Wanwan. Perhaps because they had important guests, they weren't afraid of being overheard, so they opened their doors wide and proactively announced to the outside world that their in-laws had come.
The onlookers, drawn by the commotion, arrived immediately. "What's wrong with the Pei family today? They've never welcomed us like this before."
"Du Lixue, along with her family, reportedly invited Madam Gu to oversee things, all in an effort to force Gu Zhiqing to step down and give way to a more capable person."
"Isn't this ridiculous? It's wrong to disrupt military marriages and arrange marriages. We can report it. Why can the Du family do whatever they want, while Gu Zhiqing has to suffer?"
"Madam Gu is a daughter-in-law of the Gu family, one of the top five noble families. Don't forget which family Captain Cheng belongs to. With just one word from Madam Gu, would Captain Cheng dare to disrespect her? Besides, Battalion Commander Du has status and connections. It shouldn't be difficult for him to block Gu Zhiqing and Fu Jingchen's report. It can't be considered disrupting a military marriage."
"If only we hadn't invited Madam Gu, the Du family wouldn't be able to control everything. They're trying to drive Gu Zhiqing to her death."
"It's more than just a dead end; it's downright disrespectful to Gu Zhiqing's family. They call it a meeting between the two families, but in reality, they want to unilaterally humiliate Gu's family. Otherwise, do you think the Pei family would be so kind as to open the door for us to watch the show? They're clearly just trying to make a fool of Gu Zhiqing."
"Gu Zhiqing and Fu Jingchen finally got engaged, but the disgusting Pei family ruined it, cruelly separating this ill-fated couple. Unfortunately, they were powerless to resist. It's truly outrageous! Poor Gu Zhiqing, she must be heartbroken..."
"..."
The onlookers cast sympathetic glances at the 'pitiful and helpless' Gu Wanwan, only to find her dressed in a neat and stylish camouflage outfit and boots, leading the twins, Fu Wanning, and Shen Xiwang, who were also dressed in mini camouflage outfits, in training.
Wearing the same sharp camouflage uniform as Fu Jingchen, the handsome man and beautiful woman stood out in the crowd.
The couple remained calm as always, completely unaffected by anything external. Even when the Pei family members were muttering curses beside them, they acted as if they didn't exist.
"Pah, all pretentious." Pei Danfeng rolled her eyes. Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen acted like big shots, but their dreams were far from reality. "Instead of putting on airs, you should be thinking about how to deal with the Du family. Are your Gu family members even coming?"
Gu Wanwan mysteriously curled her lips, "Come on, why wouldn't I come? My second brother and sister-in-law love to join in the fun, and he said he would be the grand finale."
