Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 231: Big Shots

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Miao was dumbfounded. In her previous life, when she married Su Shen, there were no such big shots who came to participate, and it was not so grand.

Could it be that in this reincarnation, some things had changed due to her rebirth?

If that were the case, it made sense. It seemed that Su Shen had become more successful earlier in this life.

A common retired soldier responding to the country’s economic reform call, starting a pig farm, and leading villagers to prosperity – it wouldn’t be surprising for him to make connections with influential figures.

Now that Su Shen was famous, these influential people naturally wanted to associate with him. However, when it came down to it, Su Shen was just a businessman. How could he compare to the Gong family in the city?

Commander Kong and Boss Huo looked at the family of three who were trying to get close to them. They gave Deputy Chief He a look and asked him what was going on.

Deputy Chief He chuckled, “Captain Gu is just a bit enthusiastic. Commander Kong, I suppose you’re not someone who cares about formalities. We’ve said this before, and now that we’ve met, let Captain Gu take his seat. I believe both

Commander and Boss Huo must be hungry.”

Commander Kong quickly agreed, “Indeed, I’m very hungry. Shall we start? This pork elbow and boiled prawns look so tempting.”

Boss Huo had already picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a garlic-flavored scallop into his bowl, and then set his sights on the lychee-stuffed pork belly and diced lily cashew nut dish beside it, saying, “These dishes suit my taste perfectly! I’ll help myself first!”

The two big shots were overwhelmed by the delicious food on the table, and they didn’t spare a glance at the Gu family. Although there were four seats at this table, there was no intention of having them sit together. With Deputy Chief He’s words, it was a complete snub for the three of them.

Gu Shan had to smile and lead his wife and daughter to an unoccupied table nearby, hoping for an opportunity to approach later.

Gu Shan complained to Lin Miao, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Su Shen has so many good connections?”

This was truly embarrassing! If Lin Miao had informed them earlier, they wouldn’t be so clueless about everything!

Lin Miao never expected Gu Shan to blame her. She explained with a sense of grievance, “I didn’t hear about Su Shen having these connections before. It’s probably recent. He runs a pig farm as a business, so there might be some business dealings.”

Gu Shan, however, felt otherwise. He said, “Did you not hear what they said just now? One rushed over from the military district, and the other came back from abroad. These connections sound quite extraordinary.”

Seeing her daughter being blamed, Zhang Mei spoke up in her defense, “You’re a man, and you know how to handle social situations. These people are probably just passing by and happen to have some free time. Miao Miao grew up in the village next door. She knows more about the situation than we do.

She already said there weren’t these connections before, so it must be recent.”

If Su Shen had known figures like Commander Kong and Boss Huo for a long time, wouldn’t he have spread the news far and wide?

Gu Shan looked at the table where the big shots were seated. They were indeed earnestly enjoying their meal and didn’t even look for Su Shen.

Moreover, Gu Zi had never mentioned Su Shen’s powerful connections before.

It should be, as Lin Miao said, just a passing show to join in the excitement. This made him feel much more relieved.

Gu Shan said, “I might have been too anxious. I’ll ask Gu Zi what’s going on when I see her later. If Su Shen has really become a big businessman, he might be able to help our family in the future.”

Lin Miao took the opportunity to redirect the resentment towards Gu Zi, saying, “I don’t think my sister will tell the truth. If she had given us a little reminder earlier, we wouldn’t have said that Mrs. He’s gold was fake. But it’s not entirely her fault. This place in the countryside is too complicated. My sister turned out like this, and it’s partly my fault. If I hadn’t come back, maybe…”

Zhang Mei grabbed her daughter’s hand and comforted her, “Silly girl, how can you say that? It’s our Gu family who raised an ingrate. What does it have to do with you?”

At this moment, Zhang Mei felt more heartache for Lin Miao, and there was more resentment towards Gu Zi.

Thinking about how Gu Zi had asked him for money earlier, Gu Shan was also angry and exclaimed, “How dare she not tell the truth! We raised her for over ten years!”

As the Gu family spoke, Su Shen had already brought Gu Zi out, who had just changed.

They were surrounded by a crowd, and the Gu family couldn’t even catch a glimpse of them, let alone question Gu Zi..
