Chapter 172: Simple Fool
The female guests were making so much noise that the men naturally noticed it.
But those present were all experienced people in official circles, so they couldn't make the situation awkward, so they just laughed it off.
Gu Yuke was worried about his wife and had to go over to see her in person before he could feel at ease. He made the excuse of going to the toilet and walked towards Xiuzhu.
The lesbians were still feeling awkward, but now only Jiang Mei was awkward, as everyone else was tacitly isolating her.
To vent one's anger without disguising it.
Xiuzhu sat there naturally and gracefully...
Her waist and legs ached from sitting there, and she was looking towards the men with a shameless look, wanting to see how they were talking.
This glance happened to meet the eyes of Gu Yu who was walking over, and she winked at him mischievously.
Gu Yu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at his naughty little wife with a smile on his face.
Seeing that she was fine, he returned to his seat with peace of mind.
"County Magistrate Gu really loves his wife. He even goes to check on her even though they live in the same room." The one who made the sarcastic comment was the county magistrate from the neighboring county.
Gu Yu smiled shyly and said slowly, "Please stop teasing me."
"Hahaha."
"Xiao Gu is a good man."
The others at the table responded.

During the meal, Xiuzhu and Gu Yu sat together, and the dishes on the table were all quite ordinary. After all, that incident had just happened, and no one dared to be extravagant.
What Xiuzhu didn't expect was that the "female courage" actually came downstairs to eat. She sat at the dining table by herself, completely ignoring the looks from others.
After Jiang Yan returned to the room, she felt more and more that something was wrong. She had done nothing wrong, so why should she hide? It was clearly this group of ignorant and feudal women who were causing trouble.
So she came down, humph, it would be nice to add some gambling to them.
Jiang Li winked at her sister, but she didn't even look at her. She was so angry that she regretted bringing this ancestor to her home.
Now I can only pray silently in my heart that she won’t say anything shocking again!
Zhang Qiuze, who had been sitting quietly at the table without saying a word, inadvertently glanced at the girl who had caused public outrage before.
He became a little curious. Was this lesbian innocent or just plain stupid?
"Slow down, be careful of the heat."
Zhang Qiuze looked in the direction of the voice and saw the once dignified and elegant man carefully taking care of the delicate-looking girl beside him while she was having her meal.
With a flicker in his eyes, he accepted Yu Mingli's invitation and came to Ding'an County. Part of the reason was that they both used to be from a big compound in Beijing, and because of the current situation, they all came to take up positions in local areas.
They are both in Harbin, so it seems like fate, so I came to see them.
Another reason was curiosity. They were curious about what the outstanding descendant of the Gu family, who was always good at calculating, had planned to do when he came to such a small city to be the county magistrate.
Others said that Gu Yu had married a beautiful wife, so he plunged into the land of pleasure and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
But he didn't believe it. As wolves also lurking in the forest, how could they be willing to be herbivores?
"Secretary Zhang, is my face more attractive than this table of food?" Gu Yu noticed the gazes on him and asked the person opposite in a playful tone.
Zhang Qiuze was not embarrassed at all by being caught, and said calmly: "Haha, County Magistrate Gu, please forgive me for making fun of you. I just want to learn from you how to take care of female comrades. After all, I am still single."
Xiuzhu always told herself to be elegant, but being elegant naturally does not mean looking around, so she noticed the man who was talking opposite her.
Secretary Zhang is a rare fair-skinned handsome man in this era. His skin is as white as jade and his facial features are soft, showing an elegance and refinement. He has a completely different style from Gu Yu.
She thought, now that she had met an opponent, would the other party compete with her to see who was more elegant?
Zhang Qiuze smiled and generously allowed this beautiful girl to look at him.
"The soup is cold, Xiuzhu, drink the soup."
Gu Yu was unhappy with his wife staring at other men. He was just a pretty boy, what was so good about him?
If his wife likes this, then he can cover it up.
Well, he will wear a mask when he goes out tomorrow.
The dining table is also a social place, where men discuss work and women chat.
Xiuzhu was concentrating on eating. When she heard someone mention her, she stopped swallowing.
"Comrade Lin looks so young. How old are you today?" the short-haired lady asked enthusiastically.
"I'm 20 years old this year," she replied obediently.
"Hahaha, this County Chief Gu is really quick to act."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The short-haired lady had no ill intentions, she was just straightforward and said whatever she thought without even thinking.
Someone who is good at talking helped to smooth things over, "Comrade Zhang, look at what you said. Look at Comrade Lin's appearance. If County Magistrate Gu doesn't marry her off soon, he will have to worry about her being kidnapped every day!"
"Besides, Comrade Lin got married early and enjoyed happiness early. Look how considerate County Magistrate Gu is."
Xiuzhu blushed and said nothing more.
Jiang Yan curled her lips in disdain, "What's so good about enjoying life? Women still have to rely on themselves. Getting married so early is simply a sign of being unambitious and feudal."
Xiuzhu: ...
Female warrior, you should change your name to female troll.
"Comrade, you'd better mind your own business. You are not qualified to comment on my wife." There was a flash of displeasure in Gu Yu's eyes, and there was obvious anger in his tone.
The county magistrate of the neighboring county just asked him to go out for a while, but when he came back, he saw his young wife being bullied.
"Of course I will take care of myself. I will realize my own value. I won't be like your wife, a dodder that depends on men." Jiang Yan was a little afraid of this man with a strong aura at first, but then she thought, there are so many people here, how can he lay hands on a woman? So she immediately toughened up.
Gu Yu's eyes were extremely cold, like ice piercing the bones.
"Jiang Mei, send your mentally confused sister upstairs and keep an eye on her. Don't let her disturb the guests again." Yu Mingli's face looked terribly ugly.
He hadn't seen his sister-in-law for half a year. She was not like this before. She was just a girl with a little bit of pride.
I don’t know if I’m really mentally ill now, but I say things without thinking.
"Director Yu, if your wife's sister is sick, go to the hospital. Don't be reluctant to spend money, otherwise she will bite people!" The short-haired leader, Comrade Zhang, emphasized again.
Yu Mingli pulled a stiff smile and apologized to everyone one by one.
His original intention of inviting everyone to dinner was to build closer relations, but Jiang Yan went on to offend everyone!
This time, Zhang Qiuze was really sure that Comrade Jiang was a simple fool.
The atmosphere became awkward and everyone left after the meal.
Originally, Gu Yu wanted to drink some tea and chat about the construction projects in Ding'an County, so that he could get some benefits from this group of people and make some money.
But it was not appropriate to continue the conversation at this moment, so they could only wait until another day. He gave Yu Mingli a look, then said goodbye and left with Xiuzhu.
