Chapter 4: Teaching the White Lotus Flower

Chapter 4

An Nuan hung up the phone.

An Nuan couldn't fall asleep either.

She stretched lazily and got out of bed to go downstairs.

As soon as she walked into the lobby on the first floor, she saw her uncle An Yan Kun and his family arriving.

This family only meant trouble whenever they came.

It was because before her grandfather passed away, he had left most of the An family assets to her father, and her uncle resented this decision. He would come around every now and then just to pick fights. He had even been secretly collaborating with Gu Yan Sheng in an attempt to seize the family property, which ultimately led to the downfall of the An clan.

An Nuan observed the people in the living room inconspicuously. She noticed An Yan Kun had brought along his illegitimate daughter today.

If she remembered correctly, An Yan Kun's purpose today was to get his illegitimate daughter a job at the An Corporation. Her father was currently in charge of An Corporation, so An Yan Kun needed his approval, especially since An Yan Kun wanted to secure a good position for his illegitimate daughter.

In her previous life, her father had sold An Yan Kun's face and agreed to let the illegitimate daughter work at An Corporation. That illegitimate daughter was quite ambitious - she caused all kinds of troubles at An Corporation.

Now that she had been reborn, how could she let them have their way again!

She went over nonchalantly.

"Cousin, have some tea," An Xiao, the illegitimate daughter, offered a cup of tea obsequiously. She was trying to appear very respectful.

An Nuan reached for it.

Just as she took it, An Xiao's hand slipped, and the scalding hot tea was about to spill all over An Nuan's hand. Fortunately, An Nuan in this new life was very aware of her tricks.

In her previous life, An Xiao had pretended to be so innocent and pitiful, while being sinister and malicious behind the scenes. She had even climbed into Gu Yan Sheng's bed! For a white lotus like her, An Nuan would tear her down one by one, two by two.

At this moment, An Nuan reacted quickly and grabbed An Xiao's hand before she could pull it away. The spilled tea ended up scalding An Xiao's hand instead, with An Nuan's movement so swift that no one noticed what had happened.

A shriek came from the living room.

"Ah!"

It was followed by the sound of a teacup shattering as it hit the ground.

"What happened?" An Yan Kun asked, slightly nervous.

"I know cousin didn't do it on purpose," An Xiao quickly said.

Now with tears welling up, she looked as delicate and feeble as could be.

No wonder she was doted on by An Yan Kun despite being an illegitimate daughter.

Although they spoke with good intentions, Li Ya Juan notably did not mention the half of An Xiao's face that was slapped swollen by her own daughter.

An Nuan couldn't help but smile a little.

So her mother had her own agenda too!

"Since we've troubled second brother's family, we'll take An Xiao back now," An Yan Kun's legal wife Liu Feng said.

They didn't truly want to help get An Xiao into An Corporation either. Even if they tolerated An Yan Kun taking in his illegitimate daughter to the An family, they would never sincerely treat her well. It was just for show to indulge An Yan Kun.

Liu Feng said this while pulling An Yan Kun.

An Yan Kun's expression was extremely ugly. He had originally come today to discuss getting An Xiao a job at the company. But now that An Xiao had been ridiculed to this extent, he couldn't bring it up at all.

He shook off Liu Feng's hand furiously and left angrily, with his whole family following behind.

When An Xiao left, she couldn't conceal the fury in her eyes in the end.

She really hadn't expected An Nuan to suddenly treat her this way, as if she had become a whole different person. She had originally wanted to take advantage of her own frailty to scald An Nuan, who she had always envied. An Nuan surely wouldn't make a fuss about it anyway. But instead, her attempt to steal a chicken ended up ruining her own rice. Not only did An Nuan slap her, but she had also foiled her plan to get into An Corporation.

No.

She must get into An Corporation!

Why should everyone else be part of the An family while she gets ridiculed like this?!

She would make everyone in the An family look at her in admiration. And she would make these people meet terrible ends!

...

An Nuan watched their retreating figures with a cold sneer on her lips.

She knew very well what An Xiao was thinking. She was just waiting for An Xiao to make her move.

"Nuan Nuan," An Yan Yuan called her, "Why so domineering today?"

In the past, to keep the peace, their family had always tolerated this side of the family endlessly. But he hadn't expected his usually gentle daughter to suddenly become so tough.

Deep down, he actually felt quite satisfied.

An Nuan came to her senses and gave a sweet smile. "I suddenly understood the saying 'If you're kind to a horse, it will ride you; if you're kind to others, they will take advantage of you.'"

"And you even made up that those were your grandfather's belongings. How cheeky of you to think of that," An Yan Yuan said with a tone of blame, but it was clearly all doting.

An Nuan stuck out her tongue.

There was no need for moral high ground when dealing with white lotuses!
