"Just now you were complaining that they were bad capitalists and thinking that the two families would meet to humiliate the Gu family. Now look at yourself, who is the real clown? The Gu family is full of meritorious officials and commanders. Even the Gu family's daughter-in-law is a granddaughter of a meritorious official from a prominent family. Not to mention that the Gu siblings also have a maternal grandfather who is a meritorious official. And your Du family is just showing off your battalion commander everywhere."
"The Gu siblings are probably laughing at the Du family in their hearts. Du Lixue, you know perfectly well that you are not even worth a hair on the head of the Gu family princess. People should know their place. You want to ruin this marriage? Do you think you can succeed? Do you have the ability to bear the consequences?"
"Du Lixue is a troublemaker and a debt collector. Be careful she doesn't ruin the Du family. She thinks the Du family still has the guts to challenge the Gu family, but little does she know that if the Gu family stomps their foot, the Du family will be destroyed."
"..."
There was no need for Wan Jie and Chen Ge to say a word; the onlookers unanimously attacked Du Lixue.
Du Lixue's face turned deathly pale. "If you say so, then so be it. I don't believe the Gu siblings are that capable. How can a regimental commander be so young? My dad has been climbing the ranks for over twenty years and is still a battalion commander..."
Sheng Qing didn't even glance at her, finding it too offensive. "Then you're ignorant. Our Commander Fu is the renowned First King of Soldiers. My brother-in-law, Gu Peichuan, is the Second King of Soldiers, and I'd barely qualify as the Third. Unless your father's brain has malfunctioned and he's never heard of the legend of the King of Soldiers."
"Commander Fu has indeed inherited his father's talents; his father was also an outstanding soldier."
Battalion Commander Du's mind was about to explode. Although they were not in the same unit, the legend of the first and second elite soldiers was known to every soldier. It was because of their strong abilities and numerous meritorious deeds that they were promoted so quickly. There were rumors that they were holding back their promotions, otherwise they would not be regimental commanders now.
They never expected that the legendary big shot would appear right in front of them, and that he, a mere battalion commander, would bully others and try to use his position to suppress the regimental commander. What was that if not wishful thinking?
He finally understood why his efforts to have Fu Jingchen's report withdrawn had not yielded any response; it was obvious he had failed. Now, his concern was whether Fu Jingchen would retaliate against the Du family.
Not to mention Battalion Commander Du, the names of the First and Second Kings of Soldiers are also very famous in Beijing's elite circles.
The Pei family was filled with remorse, regretting that they had misjudged him.
"We're imposters? Don't compare our Gu family to those idiots like the Pei family." Gu Peichuan crossed his legs, his sharp gaze fixed on Battalion Commander Du. "Battalion Commander Du, I seriously doubt you. With your abilities, how could you possibly become a battalion commander? You must have gotten it through connections. With such low moral character and the intention to use your power to sabotage military marriages, I seriously doubt your ability to continue serving as battalion commander. I'll have a serious talk with your superiors later!"
Anyone with a brain could tell that Battalion Commander Du was out of a job, and from then on, the Du family would no longer have any officers, and thus would no longer have the capital to swagger around.
Battalion Commander Du knew that the Gu family was going to make a move against him. Sadly, he had no power to resist. He truly regretted spoiling his daughter too much, which led him to offend the Gu family.
Without the military officer's support, the Pei family's hopes for a marriage alliance between the two families were dashed. A future in-law who was of no help and had offended the Gu family was bound to cause trouble for whoever messed with him!
At this moment, Brother Du had only one thought in his mind: it was truly not unjust that his family's bodyguards had been defeated by Gu Wanwan.
This time, the Du family is truly in dire straits.
"It's all Li Xue's fault. If she hadn't been so presumptuous and tried to steal Gu Jia's boyfriend, Dad wouldn't have been implicated by her."
