Chapter 31 I Won’t Let Her Off Easily

Gu Minghuai snapped his fingers, and a servant brought over a velvet jewelry box. He took out the necklace inlaid with countless tiny diamonds that resembled the galaxy and carefully put it on Ning Shan.

“She’s as noble and beautiful as a princess,” the servants praised.

Ning Shan blushed from the praises and lowered her head, embarrassed to look at everyone.

At around five in the evening, Gu Minghuai and Ning Shan appeared at the banquet hall on the second floor of the Intercontinental Hotel. The two of them were dressed up and were very eye-catching.

Gu Minghuai was wearing a white high-cut suit today. The tailoring was all made by a famous Italian craftsman, which made him look really handsome. As for Ning Shan who was in her pure white puff-sleeved evening gown, she looked fresh, refined, and elegant, coupled with her unique elvish outfit, she looked like a noble elvish princess.

The couple’s outfits attracted the attention of all the young ladies and young masters from noble families.

“Wow, the fourth master Gu is still as handsome as ever. Thank god I’m here today. Isn’t he just a prince charming? Unfortunately, it’s prince charming in a wheelchair…”

“Who’s the woman next to him? Is she a young lady from a noble family?”

“I’ve never seen her before. I don’t think so.”

“To be able to get the fourth master Gu to bring her to the banquet, at the very least she must be his fiancée or something…”

At this point, an excited young lady from a famous family held onto her chest. She was so sad that she was about to faint.

“Wait,” someone said, “Master Gu’s female companion looks a little familiar. Don’t you think so?”

Everyone’s gaze was focused on Ning Shan. Staring so intensely that it could almost burn a hole in her body.

“Isn’t she the daughter of the Jiang family?” Finally, someone exclaimed.

“What? The daughter of the Jiang family?”

Instantly, murmurs spread throughout the banquet hall.

Soon, Jiang Zhenping also saw Ning Shan, who was dressed up. When he saw that everyone was talking about the daughter of the Jiang family, he glanced over and indeed saw his daughter standing beside fourth master Gu. She was wearing an evening gown, and her skin was as fair as snow, elegant and refined.

Jiang Zhenping was surprised. Did Ziran’s plan succeed?

He found his wife with a glass of wine in his hand and pulled her to a corner.

“When did you do it without telling me?” Jiang Zhenping’s face was full of obvious joy.

Mrs. Ning had been chatting with the wife of a prominent family. She looked at her husband in confusion. “What?”

Jiang Zhenping nodded at the attractive woman. Mrs. Ning glanced over and was shocked.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Zhenping saw that something was wrong. “Isn’t it Yun ‘er?”

Mrs. Ning’s face was pale. “That’s Ning Shan, that country bumpkin!”

“What?” Jiang Zhenping cried out involuntarily. Then, he lowered his voice even more. “With the fourth master Gu bringing his female companion to such an occasion, it’s obvious that he wants to publicly announce her status. Why isn’t Yun ‘er by his side? What’s going on?!”

Mrs. Ning told him simply the whole story. In the end, she added fiercely, “Ning Shan, that vixen, how dare she snatched Yun ‘er’s position. I won’t let her off easily!”

Jiang Zhenping was not as naive as his wife. “What’s the use of just getting rid of Ning Shan? The situation now is clearly Gu Minghuai’s idea…”

“Darling, then what should we do now?” Mrs. Ning immediately frowned.

“Ziran, Ning Shan is also your daughter. We could have gotten her to join us and become one of us, but now we have become enemies…” Jiang Zhenping thought for a long time and then let out a long sigh, he looked at Ning Shan who looked exactly like his daughter at the other end of the banquet hall, and a scheme flashed through his head. “Fortunately, they have the same face.”
