He did not want anyone to mention this name again. However, Gu Jinglian’s tone clearly frightened everyone. That woman was indignant over being yelled at, but she did not dare to say anything in front of Gu Jinglian.
After the man sat down in the private room, for some reason, the atmosphere fell into a deadlock.
It was somewhat awkward!
These people had been chatting enthusiastically earlier on and had even encouraged Chu He to bring Gu Jinglian into the room. But now that Gu Jinglian was there, they all fell silent, not daring to speak!
They were too afraid to say anything. This man sat there like a huge iceberg. Eventually, Chu He noticed that the atmosphere was not right and found an excuse to leave early!
As soon as Gu Jinglian and Chu He left, the others started muttering.
“Who is Chu He’s husband? He seems to have a powerful presence and looks like a wealthy person.”
“I heard from Chu He that she basically doesn’t have to do anything at home. It sounds like her husband must be very rich.”
“I remember… her husband’s name is Gu Jinglian.”
Aixue said, “I did ask Chu He for her husband’s name. After that, I noticed that she didn’t call him Hubby but addressed him by his name, ‘Gu Jinglian’.”
“What did you say!?” Before Aixue could finish her sentence, someone stood up excitedly.
“Gu Jinglian?!”
“Yes, if I remember correctly, that must be his name.”
“Are you sure you remember right!?”
That person immediately said, “It can’t be Gu Jinglian. Do you know who Gu Jinglian is?!”
Aixue shook her head in confusion.
“Have you heard of Gu family of the capital city then?”
“Yes I’ve heard of them.”
“The head of the Gu family is Gu Jinglian. The family is a super-wealthy family in the capital city. They are no less powerful than the Mu family of the past. Now, they are also on par with the Shengyu Group. The Shengyu Group was founded by Mu Yazhe. It can be said that these two big families are shoulder to shoulder. The Gu family of the capital city, Gu Jinglian?! If this were indeed the case, then wouldn’t Chu He be a rich madam?”
“Uh…” Aixue grimaced. “But I wouldn’t have remembered wrongly because this name is very recognizable. After all, there aren’t many men with this name. Moreover, because of the character ‘Lian’, I have a special impression of it. There’s a lotus character in Chu He’s name, and there’s also a lotus character in her husband’s name. I even remarked that both of their names are such a romantic match.”
“Huh?!” Seriously?
“Really.”
The group fell silent.
Some of the people who had mocked Chu He before felt uneasy. “So, Chu He’s husband is a big shot!? If I offend her, I might get into trouble!”
“She dares!”
Another woman refuted, “We’re living in a society governed by law. Why should we be afraid of those mobs?”
“Don’t underestimate the Gu family. Law? Ha, the rules of society are set by these big shots! The strong prey on the weak. Those without status don’t even have the right to speak!”
Aixue nodded in agreement and said, “Let me ask Chu He later!”
“Yes, it’s better to get to the bottom of this. If it’s really Gu Jinglian, who knows, being on good terms with Chu He might gain us more connections. In the future, we might even be able to build a relationship with the Gu family.”
“Those guys are so high up there, it’s not like you can climb up there just because you want to.”
“You can’t say that.”
Everyone was silent for a while.
Suddenly, someone sighed. “Indeed, you just can’t make comparisons!”
