As a result, she failed. Gu Mingyang did not fear the Boss Qin behind her at all.
She became enraged and desperate, believing her life was ruined by Gu Mingyang.
However, just now, Gu Mingyang actually proposed to her.
She instantly became excited, so excited her whole body trembled. She even felt like the happiest woman in the world, bar none.
Gu Mingyang pulled Shi Xinxin into his embrace and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. Your father can't do anything to you, and he wouldn't dare to kick you out of the house."
"Thank you, Mingyang."
Shi Xinxin looked up and kissed Gu Mingyang, then continued, "When are you planning to marry me?"
Gu Mingyang said, "Tomorrow!!"
"So soon?" Shi Xinxin asked in surprise. "Don't you need to prepare anything? It's a wedding, after all!!"
Gu Mingyang said, "Prepare for what? I've already prepared everything that needs to be prepared."
Shi Xinxin smiled, hugged Gu Mingyang tighter, and said sweetly, "Mingyang, I love you to death."
"I love you too!!"
Gu Mingyang kissed Shi Xinxin's lips tenderly, and then they fell onto the bed, becoming lost in each other.
The next morning, the two got up and washed.
After breakfast, they set off together for the hotel.
Several black Rolls-Royce Phantoms were parked outside the hotel, with six or seven bodyguards beside each one.
An Audi A6 drove past the Rolls-Royce Phantoms and stopped beside them.
The driver's door opened, and a svelte young woman emerged from the passenger seat, then walked around the front of the car to sit in the driver's seat.
As the young woman settled in, the driver's side window slowly rolled up, revealing a handsome face. It was none other than Sheng Chenjin.
"President Sheng."
"Good morning, President Sheng."
"Good morning, President Sheng."
Seeing Sheng Chenjin, the security guards at the hotel entrance greeted him with respectful deference, not daring to slight this preeminent business magnate of Nancheng.
Sheng Chenjin waved his hand, signaling them to rise, and then strode into the hotel.
A group of security guards respectfully followed Sheng Chenjin.
Soon, they arrived at the luxurious penthouse suite on the top floor.
"Knock knock knock!!"
A pleasant female voice came from inside the room, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
Sheng Chenjin replied, and after a moment's wait, the door opened. A beautiful, mature woman in a red qipao opened it.
Sheng Chenjin walked straight in, followed closely by the mature woman.
Sitting on the living room sofa was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and gold-rimmed glasses, appearing scholarly and refined.
Upon seeing Sheng Chenjin enter, the middle-aged man stood up with a smile and said, "Chairman Sheng, welcome."
Sheng Chenjin said, "President Gu, hello."
"Please sit, please sit."
"Thank you."
Sheng Chenjin sat down, and the mature woman sat beside him.
President Gu said, "Chairman Sheng, shall we begin? Or should we start later?"
"Let's have some tea first!!"
Sheng Chenjin picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Alright!!"
President Gu also took a sip, then asked with a smile, "President Sheng, to what do we owe the sudden visit?"
Sheng Chenjin put down his teacup and said, "There's nothing much, really. My son has been pursuing Xinxin recently, and I hope you can help orchestrate things so that Xinxin agrees to my son's proposal."
"This..."
President Gu hesitated, looking at the mature woman beside him.
The mature woman was also wavering.
As a woman, she understood Shi Xinxin's current feelings. If Gu Mingyang were willing to marry her, even if it were just a show, she would be happy.
Unfortunately, Gu Mingyang was unwilling to marry her. Moreover, he threatened her, saying that if she didn't cooperate, he would sell her to the mountains as a prostitute, with no hope of redemption.
To save her life, she could only reluctantly agree to Gu Mingyang's terms and act out a bitter strategy with him to drive Shi Xinxin out of the house.
However, this was not her intention, because she was unwilling.
Not only unwilling, but she was also in great pain.
Her husband had cheated on her while she was giving birth, and now he was driving his daughter out of the house. Such a man was trash, worse than an animal.
She wanted revenge.
So, she devised this plan.
She deliberately set a trap for Shi Xinxin, making her fall into it and implicating Gu Mingyang.
However, she hadn't expected Sheng Chenjin to get involved, and moreover, to propose marriage.
Although she liked money, such matters required weighing the pros and cons.
If she agreed, she would truly become a mistress, and Shi Xinxin would definitely not let it go, possibly leading to a fatal outcome, a mutually destructive situation.
She was hesitant to gamble.
But she couldn't bear to refuse such a wealthy prospect as Sheng Chenjin.
After all, Sheng Chenjin was a billionaire, far superior to Gu Mingyang.
With such a good opportunity before her, she truly didn't know what to do.
"President Gu, are there any difficulties?" Sheng Chenjin observed, reading his expression.
President Gu cleared his throat twice, feigning difficulty, and said, "Chairman Sheng, to be honest, I do have such considerations, but may I know the reason?"
"I am not at liberty to disclose the reason."
Sheng Chenjin said sternly, "But I believe President Gu would not harm Xinxin. Our two families uniting in marriage would absolutely be a strong alliance, a win-win situation."
President Gu said, "Chairman Sheng, since you are not at liberty to say, I shall not pry further."
He paused, then changed the subject, "President Sheng, since you have graced us with your presence today, is there anything I can help you with?"
"President Gu is straightforward, so I will get straight to the point. I wish to ask President Gu to persuade Xinxin to marry my son."
"This... I'm afraid not."
"Why?" Sheng Chenjin frowned.
President Gu said awkwardly, "Chairman Sheng, you might not know this, but Xinxin has already registered her marriage with Gu Mingyang. This..."
"Married? How is that possible?"
Sheng Chenjin did not believe this news. He remembered Gu Mingyang had told him that Shi Xinxin was already divorced and there was no marriage registration involved.
"It is absolutely true."
President Gu sighed and said, "Chairman Sheng, if you don't believe me, I can have Xinxin come here to confront you."
"No need!!"
Sheng Chenjin waved his hand, "President Gu, you misunderstand me. I don't disbelieve you, it's just that..."
Sheng Chenjin spoke hesitantly.
President Gu asked curiously, "Chairman Sheng, is there something wrong?"
Sheng Chenjin shook his head and said, "Nothing is wrong. I am worried that once the news of my marriage with Xinxin gets out, my family will be upset and unwilling to accept the fiancée I chose for him."
President Gu smiled and said, "Chairman Sheng, you worry too much. My son is not such an unreasonable person. He just..."
Sheng Chenjin asked, "He just what?"
President Gu said, "He is somewhat resistant to the fiancée I arranged for him, because..."
"Because of what?" Sheng Chenjin asked eagerly.
President Gu said, "Because my son has a family history of illness."
