Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Mei didn’t think it was too great; what a waste! The whole road was adorned with ribbons, and even the wooden stakes had the characters for “double happiness” pasted on them. Were they afraid no one would know it was his second marriage?

Gu Shan also shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Since we’re here, let’s take a look.”

A well-organized wedding might look good, but what was the point? The attendees were all villagers, and there wasn’t much grandeur.

If Lin Miao and Gong Zhan were getting married, with Gong Zhan’s position, many important figures would come to congratulate them. That would be grand.

For the Gu family to attend was considered giving face to Gu Zi, their adopted daughter.

Lin Miao remained silent because she knew that the Su family not only had a decent house but a large one, much bigger than the Gu family’s.

However, no matter how big the house was, it was still in the countryside and couldn’t compare to the Gu family’s in the city.

Both Zhang Mei and Lin Miao had meticulously dressed up, thinking that no one among the guests could outshine their family.

As they got out of the car, they raised their chins and walked towards the ancestral hall with straight backs. Those who were there to welcome the guests came forward. They didn’t recognize the Gu family, but judging by their style, they were probably the adoptive parents of the bride from the city.

They warmly invited the family inside, ignoring their cold expressions. It was a

joyous occasion, and every guest was welcome!

Inside, Su Shen went to attend to the guests while Aunt Yang brought Gu Zi to change into her toasting dress.

Draped in a pristine and beautiful wedding gown, Gu Zi looked like a goddess. Wherever she went, she was the most eye-catching presence.

As soon as Gu Shan and the others entered, they spotted her. The veins on their foreheads twitched twice in unison.

Gu Zi, with her exaggerated voluminous train, was escorted by a group of people as she walked outside. She carried a large circle of gold jewelry around her neck, and both wrists were adorned with six differently styled but undoubtedly high-value gold bracelets. She exuded an aura of prosperity.

Lin Miao’s eves turned red with iealousv. Not onlv did Su Shen give Gu Zi a grand wedding, but he also gave Gu Zi so many gold jewelry. Did he give Gu Zi a new betrothal gift?

No, it couldn’t be. She hadn’t received such treatment. Why should Gu Zi?

Gu Shan and Zhang Mei exchanged a glance, disdainfully curling their lips. They both independently thought that the gold jewelry worn by Gu Zi was likely gold -plated.

Due to such customs, many families used gold-plated ornaments to pretend they were pure gold, presenting a facade for themselves. It could be framed as seeking goodwill, but, in harsher terms, it was deceitful and ostentatious.

Even if it was gold-plated, wearing a set would suffice. Yet, Gu Zi paraded around with so many counterfeit items, truly embarrassing!

They looked down upon Gu Zi, feeling that their well-raised daughter had become vain after spending too much time with the rural older man.

The surrounding guests seemed to confirm their assumptions. There were no significant figures present, and the wedding lacked any substantial weight.

Gu Zi noticed the sudden appearance of the Gu family and felt helpless. Logically, the Gu family should want to disassociate themselves from her, and she hadn’t even sent them an invitation. Why were they here?

Moreover, she keenly sensed the palpable dissatisfaction emanating from the Gu family. It seemed the unexpected guests harbored negative emotions.

She approached without addressing them as Mom and Dad, as Zhang Mei had previously mentioned during the household registration episode that she, Gu Zi, and the Gu family no longer had any relations.

“Uncle, Auntie, why are you here?” Gu Zi asked.

Gu Shan placed his hands behind his back. His face grew colder upon hearing her address. He said, “Do you still consider us as your foster parents? If we hadn’t come, we wouldn’t have seen you fooling around with that rural guy, wearing all those fake ornaments. Isn’t it embarrassing?”

Lin Miao said, “Sister, I know you feel wronged marrying a divorced man. But as a person, you need to rely on your own strong heart. Depending on external possessions won’t make you genuinely powerful. Moreover, you’re using fake goods, making it seem very cheap.”

Gu Zi, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but want to laugh. Did they actually think the gold she wore was fake? They were too naive.

Nevertheless, Gu Zi didn’t care about what they thought. She said, “If you think it’s fake, then it’s fake. As for Su Shen, I don’t feel wronged marrying him at all. Lin Miao, I want to thank you. You’ve given me such a wonderful husband.”

Zhang Mei, angered by her response, said, “You don’t have to feel embarrassed to admit it. We just came to check on you. As for you wearing fake gold, we can’t control that. Just a friendly reminder, the debt of nurturing is greater than the sky.. Reflect on it yourself!”
