Flash Marriage with My Ex-Boyfriend’s Nemesis

He looked at Ning Ruojun and respectfully called her, “Mom, we’re already married and have our certificate.”

Ning Ruojun’s pupils constricted, but she maintained a poker face. Two seconds later, she looked firmly at Gu Youchen and said with certainty, “You tricked her into getting the certificate, didn’t you?”

Gu Youchen: “…”

He didn’t know how to answer this question, as he did feel a little guilty. He had taken advantage of the fact that Ning Qingqing was drunk and had coaxed her into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him.

However, facing his mother-in-law, he could only explain, “She was feeling down after the breakup, and I wanted to give her happiness.”

“So, you took advantage of the situation?” Ning Ruojun raised an eyebrow. “Only my silly daughter would believe your words.”

But it seemed that Gu Youchen really did like her daughter. After all, Ning Venture Capital had investigated several leading companies in this area before coming to the capital, and both the Shen and Gu families had deep roots and no financial risks at present, so the Gu family did not need a business alliance to stabilize the situation.

Ning Ruojun knew that Gu Youchen couldn’t respond to her question, so she asked instead, “When did you start liking my daughter?”

Facing this question, Gu Youchen answered frankly, “Ten years ago, in Qingtang Town. She may not remember me, but I never forgot her.”

Hearing this, Ning Ruojun believed him about seventy or eighty percent.

“Didn’t Qingqing disallow you from telling me about the matter of you two already being married?” Ning Ruojun asked.

Gu Youchen nodded. “Yes, she said she’ll tell you when we find a place to sit down and eat later.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Ruojun smiled sincerely for the first time since seeing Gu Youchen.

“Play along after she finishes her call,” she said, her eyes containing a faint glow of tenderness.

Hearing this, Gu Youchen couldn’t help but nod and smile. “Okay.”

Just as he finished speaking, Ning Qingqing finally hung up the call with the bank and hurried over in fear of there being any mishaps. “Mom–“

After she called her, she became a bit nervous, but her expression remained unchanged as she pointed to Gu Youchen next to her and said, “This is the CEO of the Gu Group, Gu Youchen.”

Ning Ruojun acted as if she had just noticed Gu Youchen, and reached out her hand proactively, “CEO Gu, nice to meet you.”

A very business-like expression.

Gu Youchen also hurriedly shook hands with Ning Ruojun, “So it turns out that Qingqing’s mother is CEO Ning, nice to meet you!”

Ning Qingqing was puzzled, “Huh, didn’t you already know? The other day when you asked what my mother’s company was called, I told you it was Ning Venture Capital, I thought you already looked it up online!”

Gu Youchen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “…”

He was almost bamboozled by her, alright?

And if he really heard Ning Venture Capital, would he still need to look it up online?

Ning Ruojun spoke first, “Let’s find a place to sit and chat. I have to fly back tonight.”

Ning Qingqing nodded quickly, “Okay, we have a restaurant booked, let’s go now.”

After speaking, she took Ning Ruojun’s hand.

Hmm, can she still curry favor with her mother now? When she finds out about her flash marriage later, will her mother go berserk?

Ning Qingqing was anxious.

On the other side, Gu Youchen called the driver to bring the car over from the parking lot.

Cars were not allowed to park for a long time near the airport arrivals exit. After waiting for a bit, the driver brought the car over and the three got in together and headed to the restaurant.

On the way, Ning Qingqing sat in the back seat and gave updates on the Ning Venture Capital branch in Beijing.

Ning Ruojun nodded, “En, Nie Yu told you already, right? You’ll be responsible for coordinating with the Si family. Their CEO contacted me yesterday, but I haven’t responded yet. I estimate that they will come to you these days after hearing about our move.”

“Okay, Brother Nie has already told me the specifics. I should be able to handle it on my end,” Ning Qingqing said.

""

“En.” Ning Ruojun suddenly looked up at Gu Youchen in the front row and said, “Xiao Gu, if Qingqing has any questions about the project, guide her.”

Gu Youchen nodded, “Okay, CEO Ning, as long as Qingqing needs it, I am always available.”

Ning Qingqing didn’t expect her own mother to be so commanding, but from another perspective, it seemed that Ms. Ning still recognized ‘Xiao Gu’s’ abilities. That way, maybe it will be easier for her to accept the truth later.

They arrived at the restaurant quickly since there was no traffic at noon.

Gu Youchen had booked a private room in advance, so it was quiet and peaceful on their way there.

“CEO Ning, we ordered in advance according to Qingqing’s description of your preferences. Do you want to take a look to add or remove anything?” Gu Youchen handed over the menu.

Ning Ruojun waved her hand, “No need, just do as Qingqing ordered.”

The waiter came over and brewed tea for the three of them before leaving the private room.

Ning Qingqing knew it was time to confess.

She took a deep breath and turned to her mother, just then Ning Ruojun looked at her as well, her eyes as indifferent as ever.

Ning Qingqing suddenly lost her momentum. She quickly took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and finally spoke with determination: “Mom, I need to confess something. I got married.”

“A week ago, Youchen and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got our marriage license.”

Ning Qingqing finished speaking quickly and observed her mother’s expression without blinking.

But she didn’t see anything.

The private room was quiet. Ning Qingqing’s heart panicked – oh no, she’s screwed, her mother must be furious! The calm before the storm was always the most terrifying…

Just as Ning Qingqing was preparing to face the storm, Gu Youchen spoke up.

He stood up and said seriously, “Mom, don’t blame Qingqing for keeping this matter from you. It was I who fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her. I also took advantage of her while she was drunk to get the marriage license.”

Ning Ruojun finally looked up and looked at Gu Youchen.

She nodded faintly and said, “En, go on.”

Gu Youchen said, “Although I did deceive her into marrying me in the beginning, I am also serious about wanting to spend my whole life with her. I promise to do my utmost to make her happy and do everything I can to make her feel that it was the right choice to marry me back then, and she won’t regret it even when we are old!”

Ning Qingqing was shocked when she heard this and looked at Gu Youchen.

Although Gu Youchen gave this speech to Ning Roujun, she inexplicably felt like he was pledging or confessing to her.
