Madam Xu's subtle remark has sparked much speculation.
Madam Xu had previously hinted that Xu Huanyan and Gu Jingchen were together. Gu Jingchen, who arrived at the Cheng family home shortly after, not only did he not greet Xu Huanyan, but he also ignored Madam Xu when she spoke to him. Instead, he walked straight to Su Ning.
This inevitably raises suspicions that Su Ning, like her biological mother, interfered in the relationship between Xu Huanyan and Gu Jingchen!
People are interested in the truth, but they need to curry favor with Madam Xu even more.
Let's go!
As these ladies prepared to go to the Cheng family's main hall with Madam Xu, Gu Jingchen stood up and slowly spoke, "Wait!"
His voice turned cold, and his expression became indifferent.
"Mr. Gu, are you going too?"
Mr. Cheng asked with a smile, "I'll have the maid push Miss Xu over there."
Having been in the business world for so many years, Mr. Cheng could see how much Gu Jingchen valued Su Ning.
Gu Jingchen has been in the capital for some time. At first, he wouldn't let go of the Xu family, and this time he snatched the Xu family's project. Such a "ruthless" person is someone that those who are watching don't want to offend.
Given the Gu family's strength, it's better to be on good terms with them than to become enemies.
When Gu Jingchen came to the Cheng family to find him, he was very surprised. Gu Jingchen did not stand on ceremony with him and said directly that he wanted to go to the Cheng family.
Mr. Cheng and others also believed that Gu Jingchen might be after Xu Huanyan. Gu Jingchen, who only had Su Ning in his eyes when he arrived here, knew that the rumors that had spread from Nancheng to the capital were not false.
He didn't want to offend Madam Xu, so he spoke up to smooth things over and try to make the atmosphere more harmonious so that no one would delve into what Madam Xu had just said.
"Madam Xu."
Gu Jingchen did not answer Mr. Cheng's question. He stared intently at Madam Xu's back. Madam Xu had no choice but to turn around and ask with pursed lips, "Mr. Gu, is there something you want to tell me?"
"I'm hungry, let's talk later."
She was stalling for time; if she delayed, Gu Jingchen would forget about it.
“It won’t take up much of Madam Xu’s time.” Gu Jingchen didn’t back down at all. He said in a cold voice, not giving Madam Xu a chance to escape, “I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone.”
“This is my wife, Su Ning, Gu Jingchen.” Gu Jingchen paused after saying this, “No, her name is now Xu Ning.”
"wife?"
A wife and a girlfriend are not the same people.
"Gu Jingchen has been married for a long time."
"Yes." Gu Jingchen said seriously after hearing the murmurs, "Ningning and I have been together for many years, and we got married this year."
He emphasized the words "many years".
"Therefore, the rumors that she is a mistress or something are unfounded."
Gu Jingchen looked up at Madam Xu, whose face had turned pale, and continued, "If you heard anything, you can only say that someone is plotting against me and slandering Ningning."
If it's not too light or too heavy, it will turn into a "slap" on Madam Xu's face.
Madam Xu clenched her trembling hands, never expecting that Gu Jingchen would dare to offend her like this for Su Ning's sake.
Su Xincheng and her daughter are really lucky.
"Madam Xu."
Gu Jingchen called out again, making his point even clearer and offending Madam Xu even more thoroughly, "I have no interest in your daughter whatsoever, so don't waste your time."
These words, carried by the wind, reached Madam Xu's ears, instantly filling her chest with anger. Her face paled, and she glared intently at Gu Jingchen and Su Ning.
