Gu Wanwan scoffed, "Our Gu family are outsiders? But the Qin family aren't? What a double standard!"
Seeing that her granddaughter's marriage into the Sheng family was a sure thing, and with Old Master Sheng and Old Master Cheng backing her up, Granny Qin simply didn't take the Gu siblings seriously. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just step into my Qin family? Get out of here! The Qin family doesn't welcome trash. You bullied my granddaughter and acted like nothing happened. My granddaughter is kind-hearted and didn't pursue the matter, but we elders won't allow it. If it weren't for the kindness of Old Master Sheng and Old Master Cheng, you two down-on-your-luck siblings would only have the fate of wandering the streets and wouldn't even be able to enter the Gu family's gate."
"Without the protection of the Gu family, look at yourselves. You're not even as good as the Qin family. You can't even compare to Gu Ziqi, the current heir of the Gu family."
The neighbors present, including the Qin family, had heard the rumors circulating in the circle, but they knew very little about the Gu family's current situation. They were still at the stage where Gu Wanwan was an educated youth sent to the countryside and Gu Peichuan was a soldier.
Gu Peichuan smiled nonchalantly and asked, "May I ask where Gu Ziqi works? I remember he and his father used to work in a factory, as a director or something?"
Gu Wanwan scoffed, "After becoming the crown prince, of course he can just lie around eating and drinking for free. Going to work in a factory is not lowering his status. My brother has indeed not done very well since he lost his status as the crown prince. He's just a lowly regimental commander."
Gu Peichuan continued, echoing his sister's words, "My sister became an educated youth, and she wasn't very good at it. She just had good taste and found a mere top soldier, a regimental commander."
Fu Jingchen was the best at cooperating with the siblings. "My second brother-in-law, the regimental commander, is really not that great. He's just the second-best soldier. He wouldn't even accept a promotion, he looks down on it. So many people are envious and jealous of him. He's climbed the ranks his whole life and still hasn't reached the rank of his little regimental commander."
Sheng Qing spoke up at the right moment, slapping Zhou Derong and her mother in the face, "My superiors are my leaders. I am just a deputy. You two are the famous number one and number two soldiers. If you wanted to, you could even be commanders. But you respect the elderly and love the young, and you are unwilling to argue with some people."
"The regimental commander is not a high-ranking position, but he is certainly better than Gu Ziqi, who just loafs around and does nothing."
Their revelation stunned everyone present.
Regimental commander! That's a very high position, the dream of so many people.
Battalion Commander Du has been in the ranks for decades and is still just a battalion commander. It will be difficult for him to get promoted in the future.
I thought the Gu siblings would be useless after leaving the Gu family, but I didn't expect them to be more capable than each other, and they are even Shengqing's superiors.
"Even without the Gu family, the Gu siblings still rose to prominence. Compared to the current second branch of the Gu family, they are far better off."
"Isn't Gu Yarou supposed to be a lucky star? How come she didn't bring good fortune to the second branch of the Gu family? On the contrary, the Gu siblings have risen step by step, while the second branch of the Gu family, after becoming the head of the family, has not accomplished anything and has been disliked by the other meritorious members of the five great families."
"What a young regimental commander! He has a bright future ahead of him. At such a young age, he has already attained such a high position. His future achievements will definitely surpass those of the veterans. There's no harm in comparison. Look at the Gu family now, not as good as before. Let's see if the Qin family dares to challenge the two leaders."
"Comparing you all only makes Gu Ziqi look like a good-for-nothing. He's several years older than Chief Gu. We can't afford to offend the Gu siblings!"
