"What's going on here?!"
Seeing that Su Ning's people were confronting her own people on Lu family territory, Gu Ran sternly ordered, "Bring them up."
Su Ning turned to An Jie, whose eyes were red with anxiety, and smiled, "If you don't let go, they'll force their way in."
"Mr. Gu will be here soon."
Su Ning added a sentence, and only then did Sister An slowly lower her hand.
If she were truly afraid, Su Ning wouldn't have come.
He came because he was too bored at home and wanted to see what tricks Gu Ran was up to.
The lights focused on Su Ning, and murmurs arose in the banquet hall.
It wasn't that Su Ning was particularly beautiful, but rather that she was in a wheelchair, and many people recognized her because of the sensational nature of Gu Jingchen's wedding.
"Isn't this Gu Jingchen's new wife? What's she doing here?"
"Gu Ran brought her here, does that mean the Gu family agrees to Su Ning's marriage?"
"How could that be! Everyone knows how stubborn the old man of the Gu family is. Besides, they've always wanted Gu Jingchen and that girl from the capital..."
"Oh, it's heartbreaking to see such a beautiful girl with a crippled leg."
...
Some people looked down on Su Ning, while others sympathized with her. Su Ning was brought to Gu Ran's side, and she looked up and gently called out "Sister" with a smile.
Gu Ran was so angry at Su Ning's preemptive strike that her face stiffened. She was the eldest daughter of the Gu family and Mrs. Lu, and she wouldn't get angry with a girl who wasn't even in the proper social class.
Gu Ran regained her elegant demeanor, took a step closer to the microphone, and said solemnly, "As everyone knows, our Jingchen got married not long ago."
Many of those present were guests of the day.
"The woman sitting in the wheelchair in front of me is Jing Chen's newlywed wife."
Media reports about Gu Jingchen's wedding all say that Su Ning forced Gu Jingchen to marry her.
However, the ladies and gentlemen who came to the Lu family banquet were very sharp-eyed. They knew that Gu Jingchen was so easily coerced that they would have sent their daughters to him long ago and married a woman with crippled legs.
He's not willing, and no one can force him to.
Gu Ran looked down at the guests discussing below the stage, glanced at Su Ning who was smiling, and then continued, "Four years ago, she accepted five million from the Gu family and agreed to leave Jing Chen."
"Unfortunately, I didn't keep my promise."
As soon as she finished speaking, the guests looked at Su Ning in surprise, and even those who had felt sorry for her showed disdain in their eyes.
This shows how disgusted Su Ning is by going back on her word!
“Now that she’s back, she should marry my Jingchen…” Gu Ran softened her voice and turned to look at Su Ning. “Su Ning, our Gu family isn’t that cold-blooded.”
Whether the Gu family is cold-blooded or not, they know best in their hearts.
Su Ning smiled and replied that Gu Ran had invited her to the stage not to give such a high-sounding speech.
In the past, the Gu family was extremely opposed to her and Gu Jingchen; now, their opposition will only intensify.
"From now on, you must spend a good time with Jingchen."
Gu Ran's face darkened, and even her voice became indifferent. She was so much older than Gu Jingchen and was favored by Mr. Gu and the old lady, so she treated Su Ning with the attitude of an elder reprimanding a junior.
With a "snap" and a flash of light, a photo suddenly appeared on the large screen hanging on the wall, coming into the view of everyone in the banquet hall.
"What is that! Su Ning is with a man."
Someone saw clearly the two people in the photo on the screen and exclaimed in shock.
