President Secretary Sweet Wife

Gu Shengtang's pupils trembled slightly, and he put on an interested expression, "Really? Then tell me what else you know?"

Ji Yanran smiled faintly, "I also know that the environmental protection project is what your father always wanted to do when he was alive. You tried your best to get the project not to make money, but to fulfill the dream that your father failed to realize. So, you will not and cannot give up this project."

Gu Shengtang was shocked. He didn't expect that Ji Yanran knew this so clearly.

A thought flashed through his mind quickly, "Have you gone to see my grandfather?"

Ji Yanran did not deny it. She sat up straight and her expression became serious.

"Sheng Tang, Grandpa still hopes that we can go back to the past. I am a very generous person. As long as you are willing to look back, I can pretend that nothing has happened and embrace you with open arms at any time."

Gu Shengtang: "You know I'm married to Ding Ning."

"So what? You married that woman just so that Xiao Nian could have a mother, but have you ever thought about what kind of mother your son Gu Shengtang would have that would be really good for him? What's more, being with me is like owning half of a hurricane. What kind of project can't you get?"

"And what can Ding Ning give you? She can't even get half of what I can give you. What's the point of keeping a woman like this by your side? Sheng Tang, you are a businessman, you will care about gains and losses the most. There is no need to give up such a big pie for a woman who is nothing."

Ji Yanran's words were clearly heard by Ding Ning. She felt as if a sharp thorn had pierced her heart, causing her to feel an excruciating pain.

But why didn't Gu Shengtang answer her? What was he hesitating about?

An indescribable bitterness surged in Ding Ning's heart.

"Gu Shengtang is shaken, right? Indeed, any man would be tempted by the conditions given by Ji Yanran, right? Every word she said is correct. As long as he chooses her, everything will no longer be a problem. What can I give to Gu Shengtang? Compared with Ji Yanran, I am more like a stumbling block on Gu Shengtang's road to success."

Finally, Gu Shengtang's cold voice came.

"I thought it was some great request, but it's just to attend a banquet with you. You better think about it and don't regret it when the time comes!"

Ji Yanran on the other side was delighted, "You agreed?"

Su Nanping’s full moon banquet this time was a grand affair.

All the important people in Jiangzhou were invited to the event, but the news of Gu Shengtang's marriage was unknown to the outside world.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ji Yanran is Gu Shengtang's other half.

And she wanted to take this opportunity to completely confirm this relationship so that he could not back down from the tiger's trap.

"You...are you serious?" Ji Yanran confirmed again.

Gu Shengtang didn't comment and spread his hands. "As you said, I can't give up this project. I can't think of a better way for the time being."

Ji Yanran's eyes swept across Gu Shengtang's calm face.

That’s right, this is Gu Shengtang. He is a businessman after all. In his eyes, there is nothing that cannot be traded. It all depends on whether the chips are worth it.

Ding Ning on the side felt as if his heart had fallen into an abyss.

She only felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart and spreading throughout her body in an instant.

She tried to stay calm, but tears still welled up in her eyes.

The moment Ji Yanran made the proposal, she thought of the choice Gu Shengtang might make.

But she didn't expect that when she really heard it, the result would be something she couldn't bear at all.

Where should she go? What should Xiao Nian do? She can't be separated from Xiao Nian, even if she dies.

She stood up in a hurry, and her movements were so big that she almost knocked over the coffee pot on the table, making a strange noise.

This attracted concerned glances from everyone around.

Gu Shengtang couldn't help but slightly turn sideways, but Ji Yanran took the lead and held his hand, drawing his attention back.

"I have one more thing to tell you."

Gu Shengtang turned to her and waited for her to continue.

"You may not know this yet, but Xiao Nian is very dependent on me now. He can't leave me anymore. Even if Ding Ning leaves, I am fully capable of being Xiao Nian's mother. You don't need to worry at all."

Gu Shengtang narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts of when Ji Yanran had become so close to his son.

"Could it be that you are Teacher Annie that Xiao Nian likes?"

He remembered that Ding Ning had said before that there was a new English teacher who was very much loved by his son.

He really couldn't think of any other chance for Ji Yanran to get in touch with Xiao Nian except this one.

"It seems that you really have put a lot of thought into achieving your goal. I am a little flattered."

Ji Yanran ignored the teasing in Gu Shengtang's tone.

"Of course! I love you more than you can imagine. As long as it's for you, I can do things that are more difficult than this."

Gu Shengtang's eyes flickered obscurely, and he looked down at the watch on his wrist.

"I have something else to do, so let's stop here for today."

Ji Yanran saw him getting up to leave, and knowing that haste makes waste, she obediently picked up her bag, stood up, walked towards Gu Shengtang, and whispered in his ear.

"I believe that you have made the most favorable choice this time. I will contact you when the time comes. Remember to answer the phone."

Ding Ning was like a body without a soul, walking on the road in a daze.

Suddenly, a sharp braking sound rang in my ears, and a black car suddenly stopped in front of Ding Ning.

Ding Ning was startled and the lunch box in his hand fell to the ground, and the porridge and dumplings inside spilled all over the floor.

"Are you looking for death? You didn't look at the red light!" The man driving the car leaned out and cursed viciously.

Ding Ning raised her tearful eyes and looked across. She had unknowingly walked onto the zebra crossing when the red light came on.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She hurriedly bowed and apologized, but the tears in her eyes kept flowing.

Seeing that Ding Ning was also frightened, the man didn't care anymore. Looking at the car going away, Ding Ning suddenly remembered that his car was still parked in the parking lot downstairs of Julu Building, so he had to turn back.

"How did you come?"

Just as he was about to open the car door handle, Ding Ning suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

Her body shuddered, she paused for a moment, then slowly turned around and met Gu Shengtang's inquiring gaze.

"I...I'll bring you breakfast."

Gu Shengtang glanced at Ding Ning, whose hands were empty, and became even more confused.

"I accidentally spilled the rice just now. I'll go buy you another one right now."

Ding Ning tried hard to hold back her trembling body and turned around hastily.

"no need!"

Gu Shengtang called her from behind and looked down at the watch on his wrist.

"I'm not hungry. I have a meeting later, so I'm afraid I won't have time to eat."

"Well, alright! I...I'll go back first!"

Ding Ning suppressed the sob in his throat, and without waiting for Gu Shengtang to answer, he turned around and left quickly.

Gu Shengtang frowned as he looked at Ding Ning's back, but did not linger for long and walked towards Julu.

Ding Ning walked on the road in a daze, still thinking over and over again about Ji Yanran's words in his mind.

She was right. What she could give to Gu Shengtang was something she could never give in her entire life.

If Gu Shengtang chooses to attend the event with her, it would be tantamount to confirming his relationship with her in front of everyone.

Then what should she and Xiao Nian do?

"Ding-ling-ling~!" The cell phone rang, interrupting her confused thoughts.

It’s Xiaonian’s school calling.

"Xiao Nian's mother, please come to school as soon as possible. Xiao Nian has fought with his classmates again!" The teacher's anxious voice came from the receiver.
