Lovely Substitute Bride

Cold water ran down her face and down her chin, wetting the front of her skirt.    

    

Wen Tiantian slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Nianyao glaring at her.    

    

"This is the last warning. If you still don't leave, don't blame me for taking action!"    

    

With that, she put the empty cup on the table and left.    

    

This place was located at the corner of the hall, so no one paid any attention to what was happening here.    

    

Wen Tiantian stood still for a moment before wiping the water droplets off her face.    

    

Although the temperature of the hall had been adjusted to be the most suitable one, but it was still cool to the touch of the water.    

    

She looked around, but she couldn't find Ji Jingchen. She lowered her head and walked towards the bathroom.    

    

Wen Tiantian held onto the necklace on her neck.    

    

Yes, she was selfish.    

    

She didn't want to go.    

    

If Ji Jingchen knew that she was faking it, how would he look at her?    

    

Pain could be seen in those deep eyes? Anger?    

    

Every single one of them was something that Wen Tiantian didn't want to see.    

    

She hurried forward, wanting to get back to Ji Jingchen's side.    

    

Just as he took two steps forward, he was stopped by someone.    

    

"Don't go near it."    

    

Wen Tiantian looked up and saw two tall bodyguards standing in front of her. They were very tall, tall and strong.    

    

Wen Tiantian was so busy walking that she almost bumped into them.    

    

Behind them stood a woman in a long black dress.    

    

She wore black lace gloves on her hands and a veil on her face, mysterious and noble.    

    

Just standing there without moving was like a beautiful painting.    

    

Behind her were a few servants.    

    

Wen Tiantian was stunned for a moment.    

    

"Sorry."    

    

After saying that, she stood to the side.    

    

The group continued walking forward. After a few steps, the young lady suddenly stopped when she reached her side.    

    

"Wait."    

    

Everyone answered and then stopped.    

    

Wen Tiantian raised her head and saw that the other party's gaze had penetrated through her veil and landed on her body.    

    

Those eyes were gentle and strong.    

    

The other party stared at her for a moment before slowly revealing a faint smile.    

    

"You're wet."    

    

With that, she handed over her handkerchief.    

    

"Be careful."    

    

Wen Tiantian took the handkerchief, which had a refreshing fragrance on it. On the soft black silk, the word "Ruan" was embroidered with golden threads.    

    

Wen Tiantian was stunned as she vaguely guessed the identity of this lady in front of her.    

    

She quickly lowered her head and bent down.    

    

"Thank you Madam."    

    

The other party nodded his head slightly before continuing on his way.    

    

Wen Tiantian looked at the handkerchief in her hand and walked towards the bathroom.    

    

She had just turned around when Mrs Ruan, who had already left, turned around and looked at her back.    

    

The servant behind him whispered, "Madam, do you want to call her back?"    

    

Mrs Ruan looked at it for a long time before retracting her gaze.    

    

"No need."    

    

Then he turned and walked into the hall.    

    

As soon as she walked in, over a hundred people in the hall instantly quieted down and looked in her direction in unison.    

    

They looked at the young man in front of them with respect. Be it an old man over a hundred years old or a rookie, neither of them dared to act rashly.    

    

The ancient and noble Ruan Family possessed absolute power and right to speak.    

    

A beak for a beak.    

    

They all looked over, but didn't dare to meet Mrs Ruan's gaze, maintaining a polite and humble attitude.    

    

Mrs Ruan slowly walked to the center of the stage.    

    

She looked around and gave a slow little smile.    

    

"Welcome everyone, to the Ruan Family."    

    

On the other side, Wen Tiantian came out of the bathroom in a hurry.    

    

The water stains on her face had been wiped clean, but her skirt was still a little cold.    

    

He wiped it with the handkerchief that Mrs Ruan had given him, but it was still not completely dry.    

    

She carefully folded the handkerchief and put it away, then returned to the hall once more.    

    

As soon as she walked in, Wen Tiantian noticed that the atmosphere in the hall wasn't right.    

    

She looked at the people around her and saw that their expressions were off. She didn't know what had happened.    

    

As soon as she stepped inside, a hand reached out from behind her and grabbed her.    

    

Wen Tiantian was so frightened that she turned around and saw Ji Jingchen looking at her with dissatisfaction.    

    

"Where have you been? I couldn't find you just now. "    

    

Wen Tiantian said, "I went to the washroom. What happened here?"    

    

Ji Jingchen looked around and said, "Mrs Ruan came over just now."    

    

Wen Tiantian nodded.    

    

Ji Jingchen continued: "She announced her marriage."    

    

"Marry?"    

    

Wen Tiantian's eyes widened.    

    

According to her knowledge, Mrs Ruan was the only daughter of this generation in the Ruan Family, but she had always been resisting the pressure and not getting married.    

    

Now that they were almost forty, why would they suddenly decide to get married?    

    

Not long after the previous Patriarch died, when she had just taken over the family business.    

    

Wen Tiantian took a look at the surroundings and noticed that everyone's expression was off. She became even more curious.    

    

"It's just marriage. Why are they doing this?"    

    

"Mrs Ruan only said that she would get married, but she didn't announce the groom's choice."    

    

Firstly, it was because everyone was very surprised that Mrs Ruan chose to marry during the filial term.    

    

Secondly, everyone was worried about who had married Mrs Ruan.    

    

If he could climb up the Ruan Family, then he would definitely rise quickly. Perhaps he would replace the Ji Family and once again become a three-legged tree.    

    

Also, his Ruan Family had already flourished in the beginning, but now that he combined it with other clans, he would definitely become number one without a doubt.    

    

This was bound to impact the businesses of all the clans present.    

    

Thus, everyone present revealed worried expressions.    

    

Wen Tiantian thought about it, but didn't want them to worry like that.    

    

"I don't think Mrs Ruan is someone who would casually take over someone else's business."    

    

Ji Jingchen turned around and looked at her.    

    

"To be able to reach such a level in Ruan Family, there must be more than just a hundred enterprises being merged."    

    

Hearing this, Wen Tiantian still couldn't think of that gentle lady who could shake the world in the shopping mall.    

    

The lady's gaze was very gentle.    

    

Wen Tiantian turned around and looked at Ji Jingchen.    

    

"Aren't you worried?"    

    

Ji Jingchen didn't seem to be worried at all, as if he wasn't afraid of the impact of the Ruan Family at all.    

    

He smiled faintly, a sharp glint appearing in his deep eyes.    

    

"If that's all it is, then the M.I. group will fall, and I have no need to keep it."    

    

With that, he grabbed Wen Tiantian's hand.    

    

"Alright, let's go back."    

    

"Now?"    

    

Wen Tiantian looked around and saw that no one had left the hall.    

    

Judging by the time, they had only been here for about half an hour.    

    

Ji Jingchen said, "Mrs Ruan has come once and will not come again. It's okay to go back now."    

    

With that, he pulled Wen Tiantian and walked outside.    

    

Just as they reached the door, Jiang Nianyao and Jiang Hongsheng suddenly stood in front of them.    

    

Wen Tiantian frowned when she saw her.    

    

Jiang Nianyao's gaze wandered around her body before finally landing on Ji Jingchen.    

    

"Mr Ji, you're leaving?"    

    

Ji Jingchen did not treat her well.    

    

"Anything else?"
