Chapter 433: Chapter 432 Engagement (2)
Old Chen sent Dong Xin Yan back to her apartment but did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed there, watching Dong Xin Yan enter the apartment, waiting for the lights to turn on before he drove away.
The car drove out onto the main road, and Old Chen dialed Gu Ningyi’s number. As soon as the call connected, he hurriedly spoke, "Young Master, where are you now? Do you need me to pick you up?"
Gu Ningyi did not immediately answer Old Chen but spoke calmly, "Did Dong Xin Yan get home?"
Old Chen had to suppress his urgency and replied, "Yes, I have safely sent Miss Dong back. I watched her walk into the apartment and saw the lights turn on."
"Good."
"Then, Young Master, you...?"
"Come back, I’m still at the hospital."
After hanging up Old Chen’s call, Gu Ningyi fixed his gaze on the phone in his hand for a few seconds, then picked it up to dial another number.
After three rings, it was answered, the tone respectful: "Mr. Gu!"
"Secretary Lin, have the PR department issue a news announcement tomorrow. I am going to get engaged to the daughter of the Yuan Group, Yuan Shi."
"Yes, Mr. Gu." Secretary Lin responded instinctively, but when she realized what Gu Ningyi had said, she was dumbfounded, "Wha... what?"
"Also, help me contact Cheng Ziyang’s mother. I want to see her, now."
"Ah? Wha... what?"
"Hello? Hello, Mr. Gu?"
Even though Secretary Lin felt her brain had gone blank and her soul had been scattered by these two sentences from Gu Ningyi, as a chief secretary who had weathered many storms with the Boss, she quickly calmed down. Despite feeling utterly perplexed inside, she started contacting the PR department and reached out to Mrs. Cheng.
After doing all this, she collapsed onto the bed, completely drained.
Damn, can anyone tell her why, when she was certain that Dong Xin Yan would ascend, Yuan Shi appeared out of nowhere as the dark horse?
What on earth is going on?
-
Mrs. Cheng never expected that Gu Ningyi would ask to meet her.
She did not know Gu Ningyi and had only crossed paths with him once at a banquet; otherwise, it was all hearsay and rumors.
But because of Ziyang, she had always had a poor impression of Gu Ningyi. No one could possibly like someone who framed their son. So when he asked to meet, she was stunned for a long while.
After all the scandal he stirred up with her future daughter-in-law, did he actually have the nerve to meet her?
She wanted to refuse immediately, but his earnestness was unexpected. Finally, after thinking it over, her curiosity got the better of her, and she agreed to the meeting.
She definitely wanted to hear what he had to say.
-
The next day.
A news announcement immediately rattled the entire L City, the shock no less than when the news broke of Gu Ningyi and Zhou Yalin breaking off their engagement some time ago.
Because Gu Ningyi publicly announced that he was going to get engaged to the daughter of the Yuan Group, Yuan Shi.
Typically, the powerful union of wealthy families is nothing unusual, but the timing of this was too sensitive. As soon as it broke, everyone was left in shock, amazement, and disbelief, unable to react.
Just after breaking the engagement with the daughter of the Zhou Family, and now announcing an engagement with the daughter of the Yuan Family, what does this mean?
Does it mean that the woman who came between Gu Ningyi and Zhou Yalin was not the widely speculated Dong Xin Yan, but the Yuan Group’s daughter, Yuan Shi?
