C74 We Are Just Pretending to be Married

Gu Dong's eyes darkened. He was afraid that this matter could only continue like this.

The man sighed helplessly. He slowly raised his head and said to the two of them, "I have really placed the hope of this family for the rest of my life on you. I hope that you won't do anything that will disappoint me in the future."

"Father, I have listened to you and mother since I was young. I have always been a good girl in the eyes of adults. How could I do anything to harm this family?"

Gu Ranjia said, unconvinced. She saw Gu Dong nod in satisfaction and walk towards the room upstairs tiredly.

He stopped after taking two steps. "Oh right... What happened between you and Jiaang Li?"

Gu Ranjia looked a little awkward when she heard Gu Dong's question. She shook her head and said, "We are just friends. We don't have any feelings for each other. Furthermore, I only approached him to deal with Gu Yuling."

"Since that's the case, it's naturally the best. You should know that kind of man is not worthy of you. You should find a better and better man."

Gu Dong heard Gu Ranjia's reply and nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Ranjia quietly let out a sigh of relief. Luckily her father did not suspect that she had an affair with Gu Dong.

When only Gu Ranjia and Fann Lan were left in the hall, the latter's face had a ferocious flash. "This matter really cannot continue. The day of their wedding is getting closer and closer. If this matter is made public to the public, I'm afraid that this matter will be detrimental to both of us."

"Mother... Then what do you think I should do about this matter? I really can't wait any longer"

A trace of loneliness flashed across Gu Ranjia's face. Gu Yuling and Sheng Jingxun's relationship became deeper and deeper. The latter firmly believed in the former, even if he did more now. There was no way to change Sheng Jingxun's trust in Gu Yuling.

This point had clearly made Gu Ranjia feel somewhat powerless. The expression on her face became even more desolate.

Fann Lan could be seen laughing coldly and lying by Gu Ranjia's ear, she kept saying. The latter nodded repeatedly and the expression on her face gradually became ferocious.

"Mother, this method of yours is really too good. I will definitely let her taste the bitter fruit when the time comes."

Seeing Gu Ranjia's aggressive manner, Fann Lan then nodded her head in satisfaction. Her future good days had already been entrusted to Gu Ranjia. She hoped that this daughter of hers would not let her down...

...

It was a dark night, and there was not even a trace of moonlight.

After all, there was a black Maybach driving on the empty main road.

Gu Yuling sat in the passenger seat with a heavy heart and did not even dare to look at Sheng Jingxun. The latter held the steering wheel with both hands and appeared very calm. "Why did you not say a word when you came out of the Gu residence? If you have anything to ask, just ask quickly."

Sheng Jingxun said slowly with an undetectable smile on his lips.

"Why are you here today?"

Gu Yuling took a deep breath and finally spoke the question that was hidden in her chest. She saw Sheng Jingxun lightly nod his head and look at the road ahead in shock.

"I know I misunderstood you... I'm really sorry."

Sorry?

Gu Yuling turned her head to look at the man in shock. How could these three words come out of his mouth?

Someone with Sheng Jingxun's status would probably never say this word to anyone in this lifetime. But now, he actually said these words to her.

Gu Yuling gently shook her head. The expression on her face was very calm and easily covered up the shock in her heart.

"This matter also has my fault... If I did not fall into their trap, it would not have developed to this extent."

Gu Yuling did not expect that Sheng Jingxun had been quietly concerned about her matter. When he found out that she was wrongly accused, he rushed to the Gu family immediately.

If it wasn't for Sheng Jingxun, she was afraid that she would have suffered even more beatings today.

When she thought of this, the corner of Gu Yuling's mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile.

Gu Dong really did not show any mercy when he attacked her... This man was really getting more and more excessive. He was afraid that he had never treated her as his daughter in his heart.

That's right... If he thinks of me as his daughter, how could he be so heartless as to take her heart?

Creak...

When Maybach steadily stopped in front of the villa, Gu Yuling was just about to get out of the car. She saw Sheng Jingxun reach out a hand to grab her wrist. The former had to turn his head. He looked at Sheng Jingxun with doubt and said, "What's wrong?"

"Were you hit just now?"

Sheng Jingxun frowned and looked at Gu Yuling's slightly swollen face. There were a few finger marks on it.

The man's voice gradually became cold. He held Gu Yuling's wrist with more force.

Just now, he only wanted to bring Gu Yuling out of the Gu family, but he did not find the scar on Gu Yuling's face. But now, he saw it clearly.

"Oh, so you are talking about this?"

Gu Yuling came to a realization and smiled faintly. She touched her own cheek and said sweetly, "It is just some minor injuries. It is not worth mentioning."

"Not worth mentioning?"

Sheng Jingxun's voice suddenly became high pitched. He looked at Gu Yuling with a trace of anger.

"I will not allow anyone to touch a single hair of yours! Not even your father."

If Sheng Jingxun had seen it just now, how could he possibly spare the people of the Gu family so easily? They actually dared to attack Gu Yuling boldly. How could he possibly remain indifferent?

Gu Yuling had never thought that this man would be so angry. She just smiled faintly and said casually, "It really isn't as serious as you think. My face can no longer feel the pain anymore."

Sheng Jingxun did not say anything and released Gu Yuling's palm. He took the lead and walked out of the driver's seat. He opened the front passenger seat and reached out his arms to carry Princess Gu Yuling.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Gu Yuling was shocked by the sudden movement. Her white little face instantly turned red. She looked at Sheng Jingxun with a trace of blame.

She saw the latter walking forward with big steps without lowering her head. Her thin and sexy lips opened and closed. : "You're injured."

"But we'll let our family see us like this... Besides, we're just pretending to be married, there's no need to act so intimately. "

Gu Yuling's eyes were absent-minded and did not stop. She was afraid that the relationship between the two of them would become more and more familiar and it would cause her to feel a sense of danger.

If this continued... she would really fall into their hands.

Sheng Jingxun frowned slightly, and the palm that was holding her gradually became heavier.
