Chapter 90: Make Your Mother-in-law Happy

Chapter 90

An Nuan said some comforting words.

An YanKun absolutely believed them.

In fact,

An Nuan had always been kind and sincere over the years.

If it wasn't for a sudden change in recent times, An Nuan would not have said those words, and An YanKun would not have had any doubts. Now he just had some misgivings, but in the end, in their minds, An Nuan was still that gullible little girl. So as long as she said some naive words, she would still be believed.

Therefore, An YanKun would definitely do as An Nuan said.

As a fallback.

Even if An YanKun married An Zhao to Gu Yan Sheng, it would be harmless.

First, although An Zhao's secret affair with Gu Yan Sheng ruined her reputation, if the two formalized their relationship, they would at most be criticized for having an inglorious romance. But nothing more could be said, and it would be forgotten in time anyway.

Second, An YanKun had always wanted to have a good relationship with the Gu family. He had wanted An Zhao to cancel her engagement to Gu Yan Sheng before, but it didn't work out. Now he had this opportunity, how could he possibly miss it?!

Third, once An Zhao was with Gu Yan Sheng, An YanKun would finally have a direct connection with the four great families. At least his own daughter would be the wife of an heir of the four great families. No one could ridicule him for just being a side branch.

With so many benefits, how could An YanKun refuse?

He just didn't want others to see his intentions, so he deliberately didn't state his position.

An Nuan also didn't say much more.

Saying too much would make people feel she had an ulterior motive.

Although she did have an ulterior motive.

After all, there were many benefits for An YanKun, but none at all for Gu Yan Sheng.

Gu Yan Sheng could never be interested in a woman like An Zhao with no status. Even at his worst, he would not marry the daughter of a side branch. His heart was still set on finding someone who could benefit him, like An Nuan or the future Di Xinyao.

He would absolutely not be interested in An Zhao.

If An YanKun told Gu Yan Sheng to take responsibility for An Zhao, he would just be humiliating himself. It would bring great humiliation from the Gu family. Thus the relationship between the Gu family and An YanKun would definitely explode.

In the previous life, An YanKun had secretly colluded with Gu Yan Sheng and done who knows how many shady things for Gu Yan Sheng behind the scenes, leading to the rapid downfall of the An corporation. This life, she would nip it all in the bud.

She stirred things up imperceptibly, then deliberately yawned again. "I haven't slept well these past few days. I suddenly feel so sleepy."

As she spoke, she affectionately leaned against Ye Jinghuai.

And he called her "Mother" so smoothly it made her heart bloom.

"I've heard what kind of people uncle and grandmother are. Don't feel bad, Mother, I understand." Ye Jinghuai kept giving Li YaJu an out.

His solicitous manner even seemed a bit deliberate ingratiation.

In that moment, Li YaJu's impression of Ye Jinghuai greatly improved.

She actually hadn't interacted with Ye Jinghuai at all since An Nuan's flash marriage.

But because An Nuan had been engaged to Gu Yan Sheng, she had a lot of contact with Gu Yan Sheng. Not to criticize Gu Yan Sheng, but she could vaguely sense Gu Yan Sheng didn't respect her that much. Usually he rarely took the initiative to speak to her or call her.

How different from Ye Jinghuai's sweet mouth!

Calling her "Mother" made her heart bloom.

"Didn't you say you were tired? Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a bit?" Li YaJu was very enthusiastic.

"I'm fine, actually." Ye Jinghuai's smile seemed meaningful.

No matter how An Nuan looked at it, Ye Jinghuai's smile seemed cunning. She straightforwardly said, "I'm not tired. I just made up an excuse earlier because I didn't want to see my grandmother and uncle. It was a waste of time."

"Oh, you child." Li YaJu laughed indulgently.

Her smile also seemed to hide something.

An Nuan didn't want to delve too deeply. Anyway her mother wouldn't harm her. If she read too much into her mother's smiles, she would overthink things.

She had an important matter to discuss. She bluntly said to An Yanyuan, "Dad, I want to talk to you about An Xiao starting at the company tomorrow."

"Didn't you just readily agree earlier?" An Yanyuan said unhappily, "I'm really worried An Xiao doesn't know anything and will make the other employees gossip behind her back."

"It's better if she doesn't know anything so we can find an opportunity to drive her out. Otherwise do you think you could have refused Grandmother?"

An Yanyuan thought about it. She was right.

His mood improved a bit at that.

"However, we can't rashly conclude whether An Xiao is capable or not."

"What do you mean?" An Yanyuan was surprised.

An Nuan coldly smiled.

After all, An Xiao in the previous life was really not simple at all!
