Not unreasonably, it played you for 5 keycards when you opened 2C.

Here it's just you to make several serious mistakes.
1- Opening 2♣ is unreasonable.
2- Here your 5♥ should be " Five key cards , No queen ".
3- Even you open strong 2♣, after 4N, I would think you would honestly answer 5N,only.

Hand-1


Hand-2


Hand-3

Maybe this isn't the best hand to open 2♣ but I know good players who would open 2♣.
Gib bidding 4N is just ridiculous. In my opinion the weaker hand almost never should be taking over and bidding 4N after a 2♣ opening.
But here Gib is very weak and has no business taking over and bidding 4N.
Gib has no concept of captaincy in bidding.
Sarcasm is a state of mind
