Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO

In the banquet hall, over a hundred tables of guests were already seated.

Upon seeing Lin Yue appear at the entrance, numerous youths lifted their heads to pay attention.

Their gazes, accompanied by the stranger Gu Feng at her side, turned jealous and envious.

Seeing Lin Yue being led by the hand with a charming and graceful demeanor, most people had already guessed Gu Feng's identity.

"He is Lin Yue's husband!"

"I heard he's from Beijing, very capable."

"He must be capable, otherwise why would Mr. Lin have previously turned down so many local capital alliances?"

"Have you seen Lin Yue's friend circle? Her husband, before he retired, was a Lieutenant Colonel, and looking at his age, he must not be very old. Reaching such a military rank at this age definitely suggests a strong background!"

"The Lin Family's elder uncle works in the Jiangcheng official authorities, so advancing further could only rely on this son-in-law from Beijing."

The people of the Lin Family were eyeing Gu Feng and Lin Yue from afar as they walked toward the family table.

Putting aside whether this son-in-law was a mere tool Lin Yue had found, based solely on Gu Feng's tall, mature, and reserved image, Mrs. Lin, Liu Yan, was still satisfied.

Regardless of whether it's her daughter's hasty choice to pacify the family, at least the two had registered their marriage and were legally husband and wife!

In front of so many guests, even if the Lin Family had reservations about Gu Feng, they couldn't express them too obviously.

It was also Lin Yue's strategy to protect Gu Feng deliberately, letting insiders all see Gu Feng, forcing the Lin Family to passively accept this son-in-law!

Mrs. Lin glanced at her elder brother, Lin Langsheng, who was staring intently at the approaching Gu Feng.

"Old Lin, your niece has found a good match here, a soldier who looks steady and reliable!"

"Congratulations, Old Lin, with such a son-in-law, the Lin Family might advance even further."

Just as Lin Yue had said, Gu Feng's military rank had already spread within the circle.

Rumors about Gu Feng's background had begun to circulate, summarizing him as 'not simple'!

But simplicity cannot stand the scrutiny of discerning eyes.

Today, aside from the newlyweds' social circle, there were also friends from Lin Langsheng's official realm and Lin Hai's business circle.

Whether friend or foe, everything depends on one's background and capital strength.

You don't think these flattering people can't see through it, do you? Most of them are ironically waiting to see a spectacle!

Those families that Lin Hai had once turned down were only refraining from troubling the Lin Family and the company because Lin Langsheng was still employed at the official authorities, but they were waiting to see how long Lin Langsheng could protect his niece's family.

Among the Lin Family's three brothers, Lin Hai was in business, Lin Langsheng engaged in the bureaucracy.

The two supported each other, leading to the Lin Family's status today.

Without the legacy of the older generation, the Lin brothers' resources were limited; they could only occupy a third-tier position in Jiangcheng, a major financial city.

If they wanted to step into the second tier, it all depended on whether Lin Langsheng could advance further in his position.

Since Jiangcheng, as a directly governed city, was under Beijing's jurisdiction and transfers, the two brothers had to look to Beijing for resources.

And there, Lin Hai thought of his former comrade-in-arms, the Su Family. Although the Su Family wasn't seen as a major power in Beijing, they were deeply rooted locals there, and this was Lin Hai's only option.

That's why he decided to arrange a marriage alliance between Lin Yue and the Su Family, but after Lin Hai died, the elderly Su also passed away.

For their foundation, the Su Family finally decided to stabilize the situation by seeking a marriage alliance with a powerful family in Beijing, thus they broke off the engagement!

Currently, the people in Jiangcheng aren't aware of this, which is also why Lin Yue urgently needed to find a soldier from Beijing as a stand-in.

Now, everyone was watching to see if Lin Langsheng could still manage his job and stabilize it.

If not, then the Lin Family's development was almost at an end.

They had no need to give Lin Yue any face; with capital being aggressive, in the business sphere, when it's time to act, they would act!

And whether Lin Langsheng could stabilize his current position depended on whether this son-in-law was a dragon or a worm!

So, everyone's eyes turned toward Gu Feng!

Indeed, all the pressure was passed onto Lin Yue!

Because she knew, Gu Feng was just an ordinary retired soldier.

This was her own gamble for freedom!

She bet she could strengthen the corporation quickly within the year, while her uncle was still in his job position!

Only then, even if Uncle Lin Langsheng's deterrence was gone, those capital rivals wouldn't dare to clash easily!

Lin Langsheng wasn't a person who liked to show anger, and if the Su Family hadn't broken off the engagement, Lin Yue wouldn't dare to bring Gu Feng, otherwise he would definitely have been furious!

But with that layer of cooperation with the Su Family gone, so were his hopes for promotion.

All he could do now was find a local upstart for Lin Yue, so that, in the future, even without his influence, a good marriage alliance could ensure that his niece, Lin Yue, wouldn't be isolated and powerless.

After sitting down, Gu Feng shook hands with the family members upon Lin Yue's introduction.

"Uncle, hello."

Gu Feng shook hands with Lin Langsheng composedly.

In the moment of the handshake, Lin Langsheng's gaze flickered slightly in surprise, looking deeply at Gu Feng.

"Shake that hand too," he said.

Gu Feng, obliging him, extended his left hand as well and shook it.

Then, Uncle Lin Langsheng asked him, "Can you drink? Want some?"

Gu Feng smiled lightly, "I'm fine with anything, it's up to Uncle."

Lin Langsheng laughed and turned to his son, "Little Yu, toast to your cousin-in-law."
