Chapter 9 News Buzz, Gu Yansheng's Humiliation

The next day. Early in the morning. An Nuan had just gotten up and was still sitting on the toilet bowl when she received a call from Xia Qiqi. She was very excited. "An Nuan, did you watch the news today?" "..." She was about to watch. "Your Gu Yansheng and your Ye Jinghuai are both trending now!" "Who said that Gu Yansheng is mine!" An Nuan said grumpily. "Do you mean that Ye Jinghuai is yours then?" Xia Qiqi joked. "Xia Qiqi!" An Nuan was speechless. Xia Qiqi laughed exaggeratedly. "Anyway, just watch the news. I think... it's quite interesting." After that, she hung up the phone. In fact, An Nuan knew what the media was reporting even without looking at it. It was probably an evaluation of Ye Jinghuai and Gu Yansheng! Sure enough. An Nuan looked at the trending search topics on the major websites. 'The charity event had raised hundreds of millions, and Ye Jinghuai spent a lot of money that won the crowd.' 'Was it not worth it? Gu Yansheng didn't want to spend a lot of money to marry An Nuan.' 'Ye Jinghuai's splurging nature continued as he gave away a gemstone worth 30 million on the spot.' For the first time, Ye Jinghuai was not in the hot seat because of his gossip. This time he even made official headlines on finance news, society news and so on, with different kinds of mixed reviews. It was also the first time Gu Yansheng was mocked and belittled. Gu Yansheng's face turned black when he saw the news! In the past, he had always been praised, but this time, it was pointed out by the media that he was stingy, he did not love An Nuan enough, and he was not as perfect as the rumours said. It even involved the Gu family's financial situation, saying that the Gu family was now having problems with its capital chain. There were indeed some problems, which was why he was so eager to marry An Nuan so that the An family could supply funds for them unconditionally. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, because of that spendthrift Ye Jinghuai, he almost ruined his plan. What made him even angrier was that once Gu Enterprise's stock market opened, it went straight down! To solve the problem, Gu Enterprise had to move a large amount of money to stabilise the market, which was undoubtedly making the situation worse. Gu Yansheng was so angry that his body was shaking, but he was telling himself to calm down! The most important thing now was to marry An Nuan. The An family was the second most wealthy of the four families in the Beywen Country, after the Ye family. If he took control of the An family, with the financial power of the An family and the Gu family, he could directly suppress the Ye family. How else could Ye Jinghuai turn the table? Of course, once he took down the An family, he would have the capital to build his power. Thinking of this, Gu Yansheng pulled out a sinister smile. He would definitely pay back double the humiliation he had suffered today! ...... An family. An Nuan looked at the trending news and found it rather interesting. Xia Qiqi called again. "Have you seen it?" "Yes," An Nuan replied. "By the way, why are you so excited?" "I'm so excited for you!" Xia Qiqi said as a matter of fact. "I used to think that you don't know how to judge a person, so I tried to persuade you. But now I suddenly feel that you have sharp eyes. You can even find something special about a b*stard like Ye Jinghuai." She didn't even know if Xia Qiqi was praising her. She said, "Ye Jinghuai and I are not what you think." "Then, what is it?" Xia Qiqi asked with interest. "You'll know in the future." "You're beginning to hide things from me. Beauty An Nuan, you've changed!" Xia Qiqi complained. Yes. She had changed. She became vengeful! "By the way." Xia Qiqi suddenly thought of something. "Xiao Nanchen is back." "Is that so?" An Nuan replied. She remembered that he would be back in these few days. She couldn't remember it clearly. "Last night, he came back quietly, which scared the h*ll out of me. The key is..." Xia Qiqi held back and didn't say it. On the contrary, An Nuan was a little interested. "Anyway, he must have ulterior motives when he comes back. He must be here to steal my family's property!" Xia Qiqi said firmly, "I won't let him succeed." An Nuan really wanted to tell her. It wasn't her half-brother who wanted to steal the family property from her. But... the man she had always loved with all her heart. But she felt that she needed time to convince Xia Qiqi. "Since you don't want Xiao Nanchen to steal your family property, why don't you go to work and control the company?" "Um..." Xia Qiqi didn't answer. It was obvious that she was playful and did not want to go to work. She stammered, "Isn't Ziming here? He can help me support our family!" Xia Qiqi was the same as her back then. She was as innocent as her. She said, "Anyway, you should think about my suggestion. Goodbye, my grandma called me." A call came in. "What good news can your grandma have for you?" Xia Qiqi said grumpily. It was indeed not a good thing. That was why she needed time to deal with these people! An Nuan hung up the phone and answered Wen Qingcui's call. "Grandma..." "Who are you calling? You haven't answered my call for a long time! You're like your father. You have no respect for me!" Wen Qingcui's tone was not very good. An Nuan held her phone and bear with it. Because she valued men more than women, Wen Qingcui never liked An Nuan. She always doted on An Yankun's eldest son, An Hao. All these years, like her father, An Nuan always tolerated Wen Qingcui. But she was reborn. She didn't want to be so aggrieved, not even a little. She said, "Grandma, what can I do for you?" "Come back to my house!" After that, she immediately hung up the phone. An Nuan darkened her face. She felt that it was time to teach Wen Qingcui a lesson! Otherwise, she would have thought that she was the queen! She put down her phone, washed up quickly, and then went downstairs to go out. "An Nuan, where are you going without having breakfast?" Li Yaju stopped her daughter in a hurry. "I'm going to grandma's house." "What are you doing over there?" Li Yaju was obviously a little surprised. She was really afraid of her mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart. Ever since she married into the An family, Wen Qingcui had never been kind to her. The reason was that Li Yaju was born in a poor family, and Wen Qingcui looked down on her. Fortunately, An Nuan's grandfather liked Li Yaju very much, so he agreed to their marriage. After getting married, Li Yaju avoided Wen Qingcui as much as she could. Now that she heard that An Nuan wanted to go back, she was very reluctant. "Grandma said she was looking for me." "What's the matter?" "She didn't say it." Li Yaju did not dare to rebel against Wen Qingcui over the years, so she would not stop An Nuan from going. She thought for a second and said, "I'll go with you." "Are you worried that I will be bullied by grandma?" "When did she stop bullying you?" Li Yaju said speechlessly. "You won't be able to help even if you go," An Nuan said bluntly. She was clear that Li Yaju did not want to cause too much family conflict and would never go against Wen Qingcui. "At least I won't let your grandma scold you alone." That was the most protective thing Li Yaju could do for her. An Nuan smiled. Her mother was really kind. She said, "Let's go." Let's go. I would show you how to teach your evil mother-in-law a lesson!
