After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

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!

From Wen QingCui's expression, An Nuan knew that she probably regretted it to death now. She likely hadn't expected that An Nuan would give her the gemstone.

But seeing that she had indeed brought the gemstone, she had no choice but to believe that An Nuan did intend to give it to her earlier.

At this moment, she was probably feeling even more uncomfortable inside. 𝘧𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀ℯ𝘣𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓂

An Nuan hurriedly echoed Liu Feng, "Aunt is right, how could Granny be so worldly? And you've said you absolutely won't go back on your word."

"Of course!" Liu Feng readily agreed.

Wen QingCui's face was so black it was practically purple.

An YanKun immediately understood what was happening, and hurriedly stopped his wife, "Enough, you've said enough."

Liu Feng glared at An YanKun, extremely displeased.

Wen QingCui swallowed down her anger, and said, "I don't care what reasons you had for accepting Ye JingHuai's gemstone last night. I don't have time to nitpick those details with you. I'm just warning you - don't mess up your marriage with the Gu family! A good man like Gu Yan Sheng, if you miss this chance, you won't have it again. Know your place!"

"You don't need to worry about my marriage."

"You think I want to worry? I'm afraid you'll be dumped by the Gu family. With your status, do you really think Gu Yan Sheng must have you?" Wen QingCui seized the chance to viciously denigrate An Nuan.

An Nuan thought, her compromises and lack of confidence in her previous life were probably thanks to Wen QingCui's influence.

"Whether he must have me or not I don't know, but I can tell you very clearly that I don't must have him! Granny, you don't need to act so concerned about my marriage. After all, back then, when Grandfather wanted to betroth me to Gu Yan Sheng, Granny was firmly against it." An Nuan said out all those words she hadn't been able to say before.

Anyway, she had shredded all pretense of manners, the shame wasn't on her.

"What nonsense are you spewing!" Wen QingCui was provoked by An Nuan again.

"Back then, didn't Granny want to betroth cousin to Gu Yan Sheng? You even used various means to threaten and coerce Grandfather. Although you didn't succeed in the end, but with you suddenly so concerned about my marriage now, it still makes me suspect you have ulterior motives!"

"An Nuan, you unfilial girl, you, you..." Wen QingCui was so angry with An Nuan's words that her face turned green. In that moment, she hated that she couldn't slap this cheap wretch to death.

"Don't spout this offensive talk anymore, I already reminded Granny earlier. Of course I'm not so insensitive as to stay here and add to everyone's headache, so before I leave, I'll chatter on a bit more." An Nuan completely ignored Wen QingCui's fury. Her expression was still quite calm.

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.
