Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 220 - 219 The True Reason Old Madam Gu Wants

Chapter 220: Chapter 219: The True Reason Old Madam Gu Wants Fourth Master to Marry Her Chapter 220 -219: The True Reason Old Madam Gu Wants Fourth Master to Marry Her Ming Wan’s eyes were filled with disbelief as she heard Ming Guoan’s account.

“Old Madam Gu must have made a mistake, right? Three years ago, our family did go to Switzerland, but Ming Yao doesn’t know the first thing about medicine. How could she possibly have saved Old Madam Gu at the bottom of Snow Mountain?”

Ming Guoan furrowed his brow, agreeing with Ming Wan’s words, “That’s true, but Old Madam Gu said that before she lost consciousness, the person she saw was Ming Yao.”

Ming Wan propped her chin and paced around the room a few times.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, her eyes widened.

“I remember now, that year, there was indeed an avalanche, and an old lady was nearly buried alive, but I remember, the one who saved her wasn’t Ming Yao, but Senior Shi Yuan!”

Jiang Biyun looked puzzled, “Shi Yuan? Is she the outstanding senior you mentioned from your studies abroad?”

“Yes, that’s her. She saved an old lady whose face was covered in blood. I even recorded a video for her!”

Ming Wan opened her computer and started to search for an old video.

In the video, Shi Yuan was squatting in front of an old lady covered in wounds and blood, performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and afterwards, she gave her first aid.

Since she had an urgent matter and had to leave that day, after giving first aid to the old lady, she asked Ming Wan to call an ambulance.

Back then, there was no signal at the foot of the mountain, so Ming Wan had to walk a great distance with her phone to find a signal and make the call.

But by the time she returned to the foot of the mountain after finishing the call, the old lady was nowhere to be seen.

Ming Wan gnashed her teeth, “It must have been Ming Yao who stole credit for Senior Shi Yuan’s deed!”

Ming Guoan nodded, “It seems likely. Ming Yao really is that scheming!”

Jiang Biyun felt indignant, “The position of Mrs. Gu should be Wanwan’s. Even though Wanwan didn’t directly save Old Madam Gu, she still called the ambulance for her. She should be considered one of her lifesavers!”

Ming Wan’s face was ashen, “Dad, Mom, isn’t the most outrageous thing Ming Yao? She clearly didn’t save the old lady but took credit for it. Relying on Fourth Master’s favor now, she keeps suppressing me!”

In the entertainment and design industries, she should have been thriving, but because of Ming Yao, her reputation had plummeted.

She hadn’t had anything go her way lately, but thankfully, she had managed to win back Xiao Yichen.

Jiang Biyun looked at Ming Wan with sympathy, “Wanwan, we can’t just let it go, we must let Old Madam Gu know the truth and get her to agree to let you into the family!”

In Jiang Biyun’s eyes, Xiao Yichen still could not compare to Gu Siting.

If she could become Fourth Master’s mother-in-law, wouldn’t she be able to walk sideways in Li City in the future?

However, Ming Wan no longer wanted to be Gu Siting’s wife.

Gu Siting was too cold and profound. Being near him, she would tremble all over, feeling inexplicably fearful and scared.

What’s more, she had started to harbor genuine feelings for Xiao Yichen.

“Mom, it’s impossible between Fourth Master and me now. But Ming Yao? She stole someone else’s credit; why should she sit in the place of Mrs. Gu?”

Jiang Biyun and Ming Guoan both nodded.

Ever since the birthday banquet, when Ming Yao had forced Ming Guoan to apologize to her in front of all the guests, Ming Guoan had lost all familial affection and good feelings towards Ming Yao!

“I heard Senior Shi Yuan has returned to the country; I will contact her.”

“Wanwan, you can also be considered one of Old Madam Gu’s lifesavers. Even if you can’t be Fourth Master’s wife, you should claim this favor in front of Old Madam Gu. With the backing of the Gu Family, we can all advance further!”

Ming Wan nodded, “Don’t worry, Mom!”

…

After returning to Li City, Ming Yao slept for two consecutive days in the Imperial Garden.

Once rested, she received a call from Zhong Ling.

“Sister Yao, Sister Yao, I heard Director Jih is going to make a new movie, a fantasy drama ‘Peerless.’ The female lead is both demonic and enchanting; I think it really suits your image!”

“The key thing is, Director Jih is a big name in the capital’s circles. Although young, his movies upon release all become massive hits, and the leads often win awards!”

“Qin Lianyi became the best actress because she starred in a work by Director Jih. Sister Yao, can you get Fourth Master to recommend you for a role in Director Jih’s drama?”

“Rumor has it that Director Ji has a good relationship with Fourth Master, which is why Qin Lianyi could star in Director Ji’s movies. Now that Fourth Master is ready to promote you, you’ll be the next movie queen!”

Ming Yao yawned lazily.

She threw off the silk quilt and got out of bed, walked to the bathroom, and looked at the reflection of a woman in the mirror with a touch of languor in her expression. She said nonchalantly, “Backdoor deals—Is that Sister Yao’s style? When is the audition? I’ll go take a look.”

“Around three o’clock in the afternoon.”

“Hmm, I’ll be there then.”

Zhong Ling was somewhat worried. Without pulling strings, would Sister Yao really get picked by Director Ji, who has extremely high standards for acting?

It’s not that she didn’t believe in Sister Yao, but judging from Sister Yao’s past performances, her acting skills were really just… mediocre.

When Ming Yao left the Imperial Garden in the afternoon, she received a call from Gu Siting.

“I’m having a gathering with some brothers tonight, do you want to join?”

“I have an audition this afternoon, and after that, I need to stop by the studio. I haven’t been there in days, and I need to check on the work situation. I won’t disturb your brotherly gathering.”

The man hummed lowly, “Then make sure you eat dinner tonight, you’ve gotten thinner recently.”

Ming Yao scoffed, “Are you disgusted with me?”

“You’re getting bony.”

“Then stop touching me in the future.” She hung up the phone in a huff.

The man sent her an animated gif of an angry little kitty on WeChat.

[Doesn’t this look like you when you’re mad?]

Ming Yao clicked her tongue: [Not bad. Has the old cadre started to use emoticons?]

[Yanxi sent it in the group. It looked like you, so I saved it.]

Ming Yao opened her phone camera, took a selfie, and sent it to the man’s WeChat.

[Your wife is at the peak of her beauty, and you say she looks like a cat? Tonight, you’re banished to the guest room!]

The man didn’t reply to her, but instead took a photo of himself and sent it to her.

The angle of the man’s photo was completely from a straight man’s perspective.

But no matter, the man was so handsome that there were no bad angles to be found, no matter how the shot was taken.

In the photo, the overly charismatic arch of his brows was touched with a faint smile, and his crimson, sensuous lips were slightly curled up—flagrantly seductive!

Lu Zhou and several senior executives were about to report to the president’s office and pushed open the door to see their boss taking a selfie with his phone.

Lu Zhou’s mouth twitched slightly.

Such a scene was beyond his wildest imagination in the past.

Fourth Master, who usually kept a stern face even when forced to take a photo during interviews and severely disliked being photographed, was now—

The frivolity leaking from between his brows was unstoppable.

The senior executives exchanged glances.

There had been rumors recently that Fourth Master had kept a female serpent spirit as his mistress and had bought her a limited-edition pink Lamborghini.

Now he was secretly taking selfies in his office; could it be that he had been trained by that female serpent spirit into this?

Gu Siting saw the people at the office door, and his handsome face, still bearing a hint of a smile, immediately turned serious and sharp.

He became as proper as proper could be.

Lu Zhou, and the senior executives, “…”

Face-changing in Sichuan opera isn’t this fast, is it?
