Chapter 3 I Like Ryan

The next morning, after dressing herself up, Jennifer came to the old Gu mansion.

After growing up, Ryan had moved out. He would only go back to the old mansion to accompany Jason every weekend. The only other people who lived in the old mansion were Shemar Gu and Jacob.

Jennifer sat up straight in front of Jason, a faint smile on her face.

The old man stared at the woman in front of him. Finally, he spoke loudly, "Miss Jennifer, since you came to visit me in person and asked me to meet you, let's cut to the chase. What do you want to talk about?"

Without hesitation, Jennifer took out a stack of photos from her bag and gently laid them out in front of Jason. "Mr. Jason, since you have asked, I will get right to it. I want you to make a decision. Make Ryan marry me."

Jason was dumbfounded.

His face scrunched up a little, but it went back to normal. His eyes fell on the stack of photos. He raised his head and looked at Jennifer. "What do you mean?"

Jennifer and Ryan could be seen in the photos. It was when they met up the previous day, but it looked like they were kissing each other.

"Mr. Jason, don't be angry. I didn't expect that someone would catch the photo. I came to Ryan yesterday to discuss us getting married, but he refused," Jennifer said with a smile.

She didn't hide what had really happened.

However, Jason was well aware of what she was trying to do.

Sure enough, after hearing what Jennifer said, Jason scrutinized her even more. "Get married? If my memory serves me right, it seems that you two don't know each other at all, and now suddenly you want to get married? Miss Jennifer, as a girl, you should be more proper. People who don't know you might get the wrong impression about you.

Besides..." Jason paused and looked at Jennifer meaningfully. "Not everyone can become a part of the Gu Family."

What he really meant to say was that Jennifer was not good enough to marry into the Gu family.

"Mr. Jason, before I came to you with the photos today, I already knew what I was in for. My request is very simple. I want to marry Ryan. Even if you think I am not qualified to marry him and become a member of the Gu Family, I have to marry him," Jennifer said indifferently, a smile on her face all throughout.

"Of course, if you still insist on your own opinion, Mr. Jason, I will have to ask the public to judge this matter for me. I think there will be a lot of people who will be very interested in these photos in my hands. I'm used to being exposed to the public, but I don't know if the Gu Family would be able to handle it."

Jennifer knew that she was threatening him, but she had already gone too far to back down.

It didn't matter what the whole world would think of her. All that mattered to her was marrying Ryan.

"What? Miss. Jennifer, your self-confidence is amusing. Do you really think you can threaten the Gu Family just by leaking these photos? Little girl, I have been through worse things than you can imagine. Do you really think I will be afraid of your threats?"

Jason was a bit red in the face, and Jennifer knew she had made him upset.

She then smiled, "Mr. Jason, I know you won't buckle under my threats. I just want to marry Ryan. I hope you can help me."

Jennifer paused for a moment before continuing to speak, "Well, I know you want to hand over the reins of the Gu Family to Ryan, but there are so many things standing in his way. How about I make a deal with you?"

Jason tried to keep his expression as neutral as possible. "A deal? What sort of deal could you offer me? Even in your own family, you have no power or influence whatsoever. How can you possibly help Ryan?"

Jennifer chose to tell him the truth. "Mr. Jason, as far as I know, Mr. Jacob is very interested in fostering a marriage between our two families. Yesterday, he came to visit my father in person and he asked for me to marry his son. But, I..."

Jennifer paused, remembering what happened yesterday. She shook her head and continued speaking, "I am far more interested in Ryan than in Francis. Although I have no power or influence in the Lu Family, I'm confident that I can help Ryan get what he wants. I will do whatever it takes.

All I care about is Ryan marrying me. As his wife, it will be my duty to support him, won't it?"

When he heard the news that Jacob had proposed marriage to the Lu Family, Jason was stunned. He felt a pang in his heart.

After all this time, Jacob still had it in him to be so conniving.

"Jennifer, if you want me to believe you, you would have to give me a reason to believe you, right?" Jason's expression was still cold, but his tone had softened a little.

He was moved by the determination in Jennifer's eyes.

For a moment, he seemed to think highly of her.

After everything he had been through in his life, Jason knew how to accurately judge people. The woman in front of him might not be as bad as the rumors said she was.

Hearing Jason's words, the smile on Jennifer's face got brighter and brighter.

Without saying anything, she fished out another document from her bag and silently handed it to Jason.

Jason picked up the document and read its contents for a few minutes. He was shocked when he finished reading it.

Raising his head, Jason stared at Jennifer in disbelief. "You... Do you really have to marry Ryan? Little girl, tell me honestly. Why do you keep insisting on getting together with Ryan?

You even handed me your last bargaining chip!"

Looking firmly into Jason's eyes, Jennifer spoke slowly, "I like Ryan."

Yes, she liked Ryan.

Jennifer's words shocked Jason.

He felt the sincerity of her words. She was not lying about her feelings for Ryan.

Seconds later, Jason smiled with relief.
