Chapter 11
In the main hall of the An family's old house.
An Nuan paused for a moment, then said, "Oh right, I'm guessing the reason Granny called me back today was to talk about my marriage to Gu Yan Sheng, right?"
Wen QingCui was taken aback, clearly not expecting An Nuan to have guessed.
Of course, it wasn't because An Nuan had experienced this in her previous life, after all nothing that happened last night had occurred in her previous life, so there was no hot gossip today. She was able to guess purely because the An family elders and the Gu family had been secretly colluding all along, trying to take over the inheritance rights from her father in the shadows.
Now An Nuan had embarrassed the Gu family, so Wen QingCui naturally wanted to come discipline her on the Gu family's behalf.
She just hadn't expected that An Nuan would be so hard to bully now, shutting down her old face in just a few words!
"I might as well be frank and tell Granny here that I did indeed accept a gemstone from Ye JingHuai last night, publicly embarrassing Gu Yan Sheng in front of everyone." As she spoke, An Nuan took out the dazzling blue sapphire.
The sparkling light, the perfect cut, plus its historical heritage and rarity in the world, made it irresistible to any woman. Even Wen QingCui couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
But in that moment, what she showed was a face full of disdain for An Nuan, "You're not even ashamed to admit it, simply shameless!"
"I had my reasons for accepting the gemstone. Firstly, we An family are merchants, merchants won't refuse a windfall falling from the sky. I had no reason to refuse Ye JingHuai's gift. Secondly, I knew very clearly that Granny is a gemstone collector, so when I saw this gemstone, I knew Granny would definitely like it. So if not for Ye JingHuai causing trouble, I would have bid on it. Although I didn't manage to bid on it, Ye JingHuai was willing to gracefully give it up, so I naturally accepted it gladly."
Wen QingCui still hadn't fully understood.
She then heard An Nuan say, "I had originally planned to give this gemstone to Granny."
Wen QingCui's eyes flickered slightly.
Clearly somewhat tempted.
She had also heard people mention this piece of jewelry before, but knowing she didn't have the ability to bid for it, she had never brought it up. Now it suddenly appeared before her, how could she remain completely indifferent?
"Don't show off here! Is mother-in-law such a worldly person?" Liu Feng hurriedly interrupted, in order to boost her own ego.
Wen QingCui glared fiercely at Liu Feng.
Truly a case of things going wrong despite best intentions!
She said, "Granny, for now it's best if you interfere less in the An family's affairs. You're not young anymore either, it's time for you to enjoy your twilight years in peace. What's more, descendants have their own blessings, so Granny, it's better if you just let go."
"What, are you implying I meddle too much?" Wen QingCui said coldly.
"Whether you meddle too much or not, doesn't Granny know in her heart?" An Nuan no longer gave Wen QingCui any leeway at all now.
Wen QingCui's face turned green.
"Granny, take care of your health. We'll be going first." An Nuan completely disregarded Wen QingCui's emotions.
She understood this granny of hers far too well.
Give her an inch, she'll take a mile.
From now on, she was going to thoroughly suppress that arrogant temper of hers.
An Nuan pulled her mother, preparing to leave.
Just as she was leaving, she seemed to recall something.
She turned back.
This time, she spoke to An YanKun, "Uncle, today's not the weekend, so how come you didn't go to work at the company?"
An YanKun's expression changed drastically.
"Cousin brother and cousin sister didn't go either?" An Nuan's brows raised lightly.
"What are you trying to say!" An YanKun glared fiercely at An Nuan.
"Nothing much." An Nuan smiled faintly, "I just suddenly understood why Grandfather chose my father as successor back then. If he had left it to you, Uncle, the family would have gone bankrupt long ago right."
"An Nuan, do you really think you can act unscrupulously now! Do you believe I'll beat you to death!"
As he spoke, An YanKun strode forward, about to hit An Nuan.
