My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 769: Gu Ningyi, Marry Me (7)

"I’ve married Gu Ningyi. You’re his mother, so naturally, you’re my mother too."

Dong Xin Yan spoke word by word, her voice firm and steady, her dark eyes fixed on Madam Gu, her back straight, her tone neither servile nor overbearing.

After a pause, she continued, "I know I am not excellent enough, but I will try hard to become that excellent person, to be someone worthy of Gu Ningyi. So, please believe in your son’s judgment and trust the person he chose."

"You..."

Madam Gu hadn’t expected that the humble and timid Dong Xin Yan she met that day would be able to stand straight and speak to her so confidently in such a short time.

Does she think that after getting the certificate, there’s nothing I can do to her?

Madam Gu let out a cold laugh, "If you think that by saying this, I will approve of your marriage, then you are too naive."

"Mom."

Gu Ningyi slowly lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes looking at Madam Gu, his voice unexpectedly calm, "Let’s talk."

Inside the study.

Madam Gu turned suddenly, looking at the tall and upright figure behind her, her face gloomy, her brows furrowed, she spoke coldly, "Ning Yi, no matter what you want to say to me, I will never agree to this marriage. Your father and I are of the same mind, Dong Xin Yan is not worthy of you, you deserve a better girl!"

Gu Ningyi was not in a hurry to refute Madam Gu but instead curved his lips with interest, saying, "Mom, in your eyes, what is a better girl? Someone from an illustrious family, wealthy, and powerful?"

"Of course, a proper lady from a well-matched family is what we are looking for." Madam Gu replied without hesitation.

Gu Ningyi nodded, "Similar to how Zhou Yalin was, back then?"

At the mention of Zhou Yalin, Madam Gu felt somewhat uneasy, her eyes blinked slightly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Gu Ningyi smiled and walked to the sofa, seated himself, his hand gently supporting his chin, lazily looking at Madam Gu, he continued, "Back then when I was blind, Zhou Yalin, as my fiancée, should have taken good care of me and stayed with me through that difficult time. But she only took care of me for a few days, then lost patience and would rather pay a stranger to accompany me than be with me herself. Is this the type of girl you favor? Is such a girl better than Dong Xin Yan?"

The sudden mention of this matter flashed a trace of panic in Madam Gu’s eyes. She quickly lowered her gaze, trying to steady her mind, but her voice was still a bit lower when she spoke, "I admit, Zhou Yalin was a mistake on my part, but she is just an exception. Not all girls are like her. Look at Little Shi, she is a good girl. If you marry her, she would be a thousand times better than Dong Xin Yan."

"Oh? So you know what I’m talking about. I thought you would be surprised."

Gu Ningyi’s voice was soft yet did not hide the coldness within.

Madam Gu was stunned, then suddenly realized something and looked at him in astonishment, "Did you... did you do it on purpose?"

"If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it."

Gu Ningyi looked at Madam Gu, his lips curled up in mockery, "I always thought that the reason I missed out with Dong Xin Yan back then was because of Zhou Yalin. But now, it turns out you were involved."

Previously, he only suspected, but he didn’t expect it to be true.

For a long, long time, she had been interfering, continuously sabotaging his happiness.
