President Gu, Your Wife Is Wild and Sweet - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Substitute Marriage

After Jiang Zhenping left the hospital, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and became gloomy. When he returned to the Jiang family, he called Mrs. Ning over. “Ziran, don’t know what you’re doing!”

Mrs. Ning was stunned. “Zhenping, what’s the matter?”

“You actually called Ning Shan and suggested that she gives up fourth master Gu to Yun ‘er. Are you out of your mind?”

Mrs. Ning gritted her teeth. “You already knew? I had no choice. How would I know it wasn’t possible if I didn’t try?”

“Hmph, thank god that I happened to be by their side and said a bunch of nice things to make the father and daughter happy…”

“Zhenping, why are you coaxing them?” Mrs.Ning widened her eyes.

“Fourth master Gu is making things difficult for the Jiang family. If I don’t act accordingly to the circumstances, I’m afraid that the Jiang family will be met with more troubles in the future. Yet, here you are still making such a suggestion at this moment. It’s ridiculous.” Jiang Zhenping reprimanded his wife before returning to the study room.

Mrs. Ning didn’t think much of it. She thought to herself hatefully, “Can’t believe we actually need to curry favor with this little slut to stabilize the Jiang family’s business.”.

She called Ning Yun over and told her about the matter with Jiang Zhenping just now. Ning Yun was as indignant as her. “Mom, this little slut is too arrogant. We have to act quickly. Otherwise, if we really let her marry Gu Minghuai, we’ll be in deep trouble!”

“Your father will only try to curry favor and lower himself. He doesn’t know that ingrates can’t be fed. When Ning Shan becomes influential, she will definitely be more difficult to deal with. What should we do now?” Ning Yun’s mother sighed deeply.

Ning Yun’s brows were tightly knitted. After thinking about it, she suggested, “Since she and I are twins, why don’t I take her place in the engagement?”

“You mean it?” Mrs. Ning’s eyes lit up.

Ning Yun sneered, “If everything is settled in stone, there’s no way that the Gu family won’t recognize me as their daughter-in-law.”

Mrs. Ning beamed with joy. “That’s a good idea. Once everything finalizes, then only we tell the Gu family that you are Ning Yun.”

“But,” she was still a little doubtful, “What if Gu Minghuai recognizes you on the day of the engagement?” Ning Yun was confident, “Mom, don’t worry, I have my ways.”

Back then, she was recognized purely because she didn’t have the same hickey mark on her body. There wouldn’t be any accidents this time.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the engagement between Ning Shan and Gu Minghuai arrived very quickly. In the early morning, Ning Shan was woken up, put in a dress, and had her makeup started

The dress was picked out by Elder Mrs. Gu. The exquisite veil matched the white dress, looking very fresh and graceful. Elder Mrs. Gu smiled and said, “This is just an engagement dress. When you two get married, the wedding dress will be more expensive and beautiful than this.”

Ning Shan did not reply and only smiled shyly. After she had changed into the dress and the makeup artist had finished putting on her makeup, elder Mrs. Gu exclaimed, “Shanshan, you look so beautiful after dressing up. I don’t think even a fairy would be more beautiful than you.”

Ning Shan smiled happily. “Grandmother Gu, you really know what to say to make me happy.”

“I’m telling the truth,” Elder Mrs. Gu said lovingly. “Alright, it’s time. It’s time to go to your father’s place.”

Ning Zhiyuan’s current physical condition was unable to be discharged from the hospital to attend the engagement ceremony, so elder Mrs. Gu asked Ning Shan to go to the hospital before going to the hotel to let Mr. Ning see how beautiful his daughter was as she’s getting engaged.

Ning Shan nodded and got into the car to go to the hospital.

When they reached the underground parking lot, the driver said, “Miss Ning, I’ll wait for you here.”

Ning Shan said to the two bodyguards who were following her, “I’ll be right back. Mr. bodyguards, you don’t have to trouble yourselves to follow me.”

After saying that, she picked up the hem of her dress and got out of the car. However, just as she turned into a corner of the parking lot, she was greeted by a black cloth instantly covering her nose and mouth.

“Ug Uu Wu!” Ning Shan began to struggle violently, and she fell unconscious after a few seconds.
