Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041: Inviting Xu Sheng

As Jin Long watched the Zhang family awkwardly depart, he felt no pity for them. They had brought this upon themselves.

Turning to his subordinates, he gave firm instructions, “Quickly clear out the first floor, we’re using it for the reception. Get rid of all the tables and chairs they used—everything must be replaced with new ones. I don’t want my sister-in-law anywhere near their bad luck. Get to work now!”

To be honest, when Jin Long had initially agreed to book the private room for the Gu family, he simply wanted to watch them embarrass themselves. But what he hadn’t expected was how blind they were, unable to even notice the celebratory banner hanging above them. Worse, they still had the gall to mock his sister-in-law, again and again.

It made him feel deeply guilty. Had he known it would cause such trouble, he would have never allowed them to book the room. Now, the whole situation felt cursed. The furniture had to be replaced, disinfected, and the air in the room needed to be completely freshened up.

Meanwhile, Gu Zi sat on the second floor, relaxing with some light snacks and a cup of oolong tea.

She felt at ease, unaffected by the drama below. She was only thinking about the grand banquet Jin Long had organized. It wasn’t that she minded the expense—it was simply that she hadn’t expected things to be so lavish.

She turned to Su Shen, her expression playful. “Do you have a red envelope with you? Give me one.”

It was a special day for Gu Zi, and Su Shen had come prepared, with plenty of red envelopes for the occasion. Seeing Gu Zi’s request, he handed her a large one but still made sure to explain, “I have plenty of these ready. Don’t worry about it.”

Gu Zi accepted the envelope with a smile, and from her purse, she pulled out one thousand yuan—the amount of her scholarship. She added, “Jin Long has shown a lot of sincerity by covering the banquet costs, not just two or three thousand, but more. As the sister-in-law, I should give back a little, share some of this joy with him. I hope he and Gong Xin can find happiness together soon.”

Su Shen nodded, supporting her decision. He called Jin Long over. When Jin Long saw the red envelope, he was immediately taken aback, refusing it with a grin, “Sister-in-law, you’re treating me like an outsider. I can’t accept this.”

He thought back to how the Gu family had already used the room today—it felt like enough of a favor already. The fact that they weren’t holding it against him was more than enough; accepting a red envelope would be inappropriate. He placed it back on the table, and with a quick motion, he was gone. Gu Zi could only shake her head in resignation.
