Chapter 12: Win Her Back

Jiang Shang couldn't hold it in any longer and fled out of the camera's view. Thousands of viewers in the live - stream room and Gu Siheng all saw the blushing tips of her ears.

Jiang Shang cursed him from the bottom of her heart. This guy was simply a troublemaker.

Looking for a wife? What wife?

He was clearly just here to make fun of her on purpose!

[The cold - on - the - outside but shy fortune - telling beauty x the cold - faced but rascally - cute tycoon who only acts like this towards her. I'm kind of shipping them, guys.]

[I thought theirs was just a pure business marriage, but it turns out it's true love!]

[Their reactions to each other are so different from their appearances. It's like I'm watching a dating show. This chemistry is killing me. I'm going to get diabetes, aaahhh!]

The little fans who had followed Jiang Shang since she opened her account didn't forget to vote for her loyally.

[You can enjoy gossiping, fortune - telling, and shipping a CP. Don't miss out on such an all - rounder anchor!]

As soon as Gu Siheng appeared, the malicious speculations of the on - lookers about the arranged marriage instantly turned into the assumption that it was a union of true love.

Jiang Shang returned to the camera, coughed lightly twice, and pretended to pinch her fingers a few times, planning to fool him and drive him away.

"I've calculated it. There's no sign of marriage in your destiny, so you don't have a wife."

Gu Siheng corrected her rascally behavior. "A fiancée is also a wife."

"Master, there's no sign of marriage in my destiny. So what's going on now?"

The man pressed on and continued to tease her. The chat messages became even more lively.

Jiang Shang was speechless. For some reason, she felt the tips of her ears burning even hotter.

What on earth did this man want?

Was it really that much fun to tease her in public?

Gu Siheng noticed her hesitation. His eyelashes drooped, and others couldn't figure out his emotions. His tone was casual, but it made people annoyed.

"You're not very good at being a fortune - telling anchor. You'd better go home and sleep with your husband."

[Wow, is this something I can hear for free?]

[Um... I have money. Can you guys make a video for me to watch?]

The noisy chat messages brought Jiang Shang back to her senses. The fire in her heart was rising. She was sure that this guy was here to ruin her livelihood.

"You'd better keep one eye open tonight, because I'm going to kill my husband."

The woman forced a fake smile on her face and then coldly ended the live connection with this stinky man.

Even after Gu Siheng left, the rhythm of the live - stream room was disrupted. Jiang Shang ended the live - stream gloomily. As soon as the live - stream ended, she received a message from the man.

.: Grandpa Gu wants you to move into the old mansion tomorrow.

Jiang Shang replied with an angry "Get lost". The other party, undeterred, generously transferred 100,000 yuan:

The appearance fee for tomorrow, my fiancée.

Jiang Shang disliked the five words he constantly emphasized more and more, but her hand honestly accepted the transfer.

After all, who would say no to money?

At the Pei family's residence.

Pei Shangze watched Jiang Shang's live - stream room close. The scenes just now replayed frame by frame in his mind.

At this moment, he regretted deeply.

He was tricked by the Jiang mother and daughter, abandoned by Jiang Jiaojiao, and he also lost Jiang Shang, the treasure.

Now he had no woman by his side, no power, and he had lost all his face.

These days, he couldn't even count how many times he had been scolded by the elders in his family. Losing the Jiang family and bringing disgrace to the Pei family.

Pei Shangze was extremely annoyed. He scratched his head and thought about a solution.

What if... he could win Jiang Shang back?

As soon as the thought came to him, Pei Shangze thought this decision was highly feasible.

Jiang Shang was only engaged. There was still room for redemption.

Jiang Shang might not be the best choice for his marriage, but her fortune - telling skills were now well - known in the entire upper - class society. If he could win this "hot potato", it would be a good option.

She had refused the marriage and made the matter public before because she was heartbroken by his cheating.

If he reformed himself and went back to pursue her, so what if she was lovey - dovey with that outcast of the Gu family now? Would she really abandon their five - year relationship and choose someone she had only known for a few days?

The answer was of course no.

After weighing the pros and cons, the haze on Pei Shangze's face dissipated. He excitedly decided to ask Jiang Shang out tomorrow.

While Pei Shangze had arranged his next move, the Jiang family, which had no way out with either Jiang Shang or the Gu family, was in a much tougher situation.

Jiang's father didn't expect that when he came back from a half - month business trip, his family was in a complete mess.

"Do you two even know what you're doing?!

Jiang Shang is now the wife of the Gu family. Even if your relationship is not good, you should maintain some dignity and at least not turn against each other. Can't you understand such a simple truth? You two idiots!"

Jiang Jiaojiao cried like a pear blossom in the rain, looking extremely aggrieved. "Dad, if Jiang Shang is out of the picture, I'll be the wife of the Gu family. It was her who snatched my position!"

Who would have thought that that bitch would be so capable and hook up with the Gu family in such a short time!

Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes were red from crying, filled with a towering hatred.

Jiang's mother also felt indignant for her precious daughter. "That's right. In what way is she worse than Jiaojiao? Why does she get to marry into the Gu family!"

Jiang's father simply couldn't understand the thought process of these two women. "Jiang Shang may not be likable, but she's still your daughter. Marrying into the Gu family is an honor for our Jiang family. Why do you dislike her so much?"

Jiang's mother's lips moved. She hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word, as if there was something hard to say.

After being speechless for a while, she changed the topic. "Now is not the time to blame us. What should we do next?"

The plan had changed. The Gu family was now paying a lot of attention to her. It was definitely unrealistic to quietly drive her out of Yuncheng.

Jiang's father pointed at their noses and ordered, "The two of you should go and coax her back home even if you have to beg. If you can't bring her back, don't ever step into this house again!"

He absolutely couldn't lose the Gu family, this big backer!

Jiang Jiaojiao's almond eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her own father. "Why are you so biased? Her status may have risen now, but am I not your daughter? I'm not going to bow down to her!"

After saying that, Jiang Jiaojiao covered her face and ran upstairs crying.

Jiang's mother was immediately anxious and followed behind her to comfort her.

"Mom, why does that bitch Jiang Shang deserve all this? I'm not going to humble myself to beg her!"

Jiang's mother gently wiped away her tears and comforted her softly.

"Jiaojiao, the plan has changed. Bowing down for a while doesn't mean we'll bow down for a lifetime."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang's mother gave her an idea. "It's true that she's now the wife of the Gu family, but she married an outcast, who is useless. The head of the Gu family just takes a fancy to her for the moment.

We'll pretend to make up with her, and then ask her to recommend you to marry into the Gu family. No matter which member of the Gu family you marry, it will be better than the one she chose.

If you can marry Gu Ziyao, you'll be the most respected rich wife in the whole Yuncheng!"

Jiang's mother's words opened Jiang Jiaojiao's mind. After hesitating for a while, she reluctantly agreed.

As long as she could marry into the Gu family, she could bear the temporary humiliation.

Early the next morning, not long after Jiang Shang packed her luggage, Gu Siheng drove to her rental house.

The bodyguards packed the luggage in an orderly manner. Jiang Shang got into the car before the man, clearly still angry about last night's live - stream.
