President Gu, Your Wife Is Wild and Sweet - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Pleasing Gu Minghuai

Mrs. Ning comforted her daughter and went upstairs. After pondering for a long time, she finally called Ning Shan. A hesitant voice came from the other side, “Mom?”

“Ning Shan, do you still think of me as your mother?” Mrs. Ning said coldly, “You really are shameless, stealing your sister’s fiancé and sending the invitation.”

“Mom, listen to me,” Ning Shan’s tone was a little hurried, “It’s not what you think. I really didn’t steal my sister’s fiancé…”.

“You’re still trying to deny it,” Mrs. Ning scolded harshly. “Ning Shan, do you have any remorse?”

Ning Shan’s eyes started blurring. She wanted to tell the truth on impulse, but when she thought of the consequences and Gu Minghuai’s stern face, she held back.

“Nothing to say?” Mrs. Ning mocked. “If you still have any conscience, you can still give up Yun’er’s fiancé. We can forgive you.”

Ning Shan shook her head. “No.”

“What did you say?” Mrs. Ning took a deep breath. “I’ve never seen a more shameless person!”

“Mr. Gu is a human, not an object,” Ning Shan said righteously. “You can’t just pass him around.” She couldn’t find any reason to not get engaged to Gu Minghuai, so she directly rejected her mother’s request.

Ning Shan’s mother flew into a rage. “Ning Shan!”

At this moment, Ning Shan was visiting her father, Ning Zhiyuan, in the hospital. There was another visitor in the ward, Jiang Zhenping. As the soundproof effect of the phone wasn’t good, the three of them heard the conversation clearly.

Ning Zhiyuan’s eyes were worried. “Shanshan, is there really no problem? Why does Ziran keep saying that you’re the one who stole your fiancé?”

Ning Shan gave him a comforting smile. “Dad, it’s fine. Didn’t Mr. Gu tell you the reason for this incident the other day?”

When Jiang Zhenping heard this, he knew that he couldn’t offend the Gu family anymore. He said to Ning Shan, “Can I call you Shanshan?”

Ning Shan looked at Ning Zhiyuan and quickly said, “Of course, Mr. Jiang.” Jiang Zhenping stood up and came in front of Ning Shan. He bowed his body slightly.

Ning Shan and her father were shocked. They both asked, “Mr. Jiang, what are you doing?”

Jiang Zhenping’s expression was grave. “I apologize to Shanshan on behalf of my wife and daughter. I heard the conversation just now. I’m sorry that she said such harsh words to Shanshan.”

If it wasn’t for his fear of Gu Minghuai, why would he, as the head of the Jiang family, have to speak so humbly to a father and daughter that came from the countryside?

Ning Shan didn’t know what he was thinking and hurriedly bowed her head as well. “Mr. Jiang, although I don’t quite agree with my mom and sister’s thoughts, you don’t have to apologize. I understand.”

“Shanshan is too sensible,” Jiang Zhenping said to Ning Zhiyuan with a smile. “If Yun ‘er could also be so sensible, I would be able to wake up from my dream with a smile.”

Ning Zhiyuan politely waved his hand. “No, Yun ‘er is a well-educated and reasonable young lady from a big family. How could my wild girl compare to her?” Jiang Zhenping acted like a loving father. “How about this? Yun ‘er and Shanshan are twin sisters, so it could be said that Shanshan is also my daughter. Since she is about to marry president Gu, I will definitely give her a dowry, which is my wedding gift to her.”

Ning Shan and her father were both stunned.

“Mr. Jiang, you can’t do that.” Ning Zhiyuan hurriedly refused.

“Why not?” Jiang Zhenping made up his mind to build a good relationship with Ning Shan so that he could curry favor with Gu Minghuai.

Ning Shan shook her head firmly. “Uncle Jiang, thank you for your kindness, but I really can’t take your dowry. After all, I only have one father.”

The ward was silent for a few seconds before Jiang Zhenping chuckled. “Brother Ning is really lucky to have such an obedient and considerate daughter. I’m really envious.”
