An Nuan felt that Ye Jinghuai was really a pervert sometimes.
Saying things like "his jealousy was as cruel as hatred"!
Was this guy's values twisted or what!
"Go to sleep earlier," Ye Jinghuai reached out and stroked An Nuan's hair.
His face was full of doting, exceptionally gentle.
An Nuan felt a bit uncomfortable and avoided him.
At that moment, she was also somewhat surprised that she was merely uncomfortable instead of very disgusted.
Not only towards Gu Yan Sheng, since her previous life, she had never liked being touched by others. During those years with Gu Yan Sheng, she actually rarely took the initiative to get close to Gu Yan Sheng. Of course Gu Yan Sheng would not take the initiative to get close to her either. She instead felt that was the best way for their marriage...
Her throat moved slightly.
She pretended not to notice anything.
She just watched as Ye Jinghuai left her room, then gently closed the door for her.
An Nuan took a deep breath.
She would take this as a lesson.
Next time, she must absolutely not repeat the same mistakes!
...
The next day.
An Nuan turned off her bedside alarm clock.
She got up looking exhausted.
She ended up not sleeping last night after all.
Whenever she thought of Gu Yan Sheng's disgusting behavior, she hated him so much she wished she could kill that man.
She washed her sleepy face with cold water to force herself to wake up.
Then she put on light makeup, changed into a professional outfit, and walked out of her room.
Downstairs.
Surprisingly, not only did Ye Jinghuai get up early, Qin Jiang had also appeared in the villa's great hall.
Seeing An Nuan, he took the initiative to greet her, "Sister-in-law, you're up."
"..." Who's your sister-in-law, "Just call me An Nuan."
At that moment, Qin Jiang seemed to glance at Ye Jinghuai.
An Nuan still didn't understand why Qin Jiang kept looking at Ye Jinghuai's face.
Could it be that Qin Jiang liked Ye Jinghuai?!
Otherwise it didn't make sense.
Although the Ye family was currently the leader of the four major families, their financial power was indeed astonishing.
But how extensive the forces were behind the Qin family, who dabbled in both white and black markets, was completely a mystery. She didn't feel that Qin Jiang's status should be inferior to Ye Jinghuai's, but Qin Jiang was extremely respectful towards Ye Jinghuai.
At that moment, because Ye Jinghuai nodded to grant permission, Qin Jiang changed his words, "An Nuan, I have something good. Since you're here, I'll show it to you too."
What good thing?!
An Nuan felt that nothing worthwhile would come out of Qin Jiang's mouth.
At that moment.
She still followed Qin Jiang's footsteps and went to Ye Jinghuai's side.
Qin Jiang took out his cell phone and put it in front of them.
He tapped play.
The video showed Gu Yan Sheng looking disheveled and wretched.
He had been beaten black and blue, currently kneeling on the ground, facing the camera and saying, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated An Nuan like that, I shouldn't have forced her to have relations with me! I'm a beast, worse than a beast!"
He said it through gritted teeth.
It was obvious he was extremely resentful.
"Since you're a beast, come on, bark like a dog for daddy." It was Qin Jiang's voice, altered.
In the video, Gu Yan Sheng looked at Qin Jiang with hatred.
His eyes were completely bloodshot.
"Not barking huh?" Qin Jiang asked, "If you don't bark, I'll cut off your manhood..."
"Woof, woof, woof!" Gu Yan Sheng barked.
That is, he barked furiously.
"What a good son," Qin Jiang heavily slapped Gu Yan Sheng's cheek.
Gu Yan Sheng didn't dare resist at all.
The cruelty in his eyes was naturally obvious.
The video ended.
Ye Jinghuai and Qin Jiang's gazes seemed to have glanced at An Nuan.
As if wanting to see some reaction from her face.
An Nuan was expressionless.
Other than applauding Gu Yan Sheng's sorry state, she would not have any other reaction.
Of course.
Humiliating him was too light for her. A man like Gu Yan Sheng, a man no better than a pig or dog, was not worth mourning his death!
"With this, Gu Yan Sheng won't dare report to the police," Qin Jiang said directly.
So.
It turned out to be just to keep Gu Yan Sheng's wretched appearance so he wouldn't dare escalate the matter.
After all.
Last night she hadn't actually been assaulted by Gu Yan Sheng, so the police certainly could not convict Gu Yan Sheng of any crime. But Ye Jinghuai beating Gu Yan Sheng happened right in front of so many people at the restaurant, and he made no attempt to hide it. If Gu Yan Sheng really went to the police, it would be very difficult for Ye Jinghuai to get away unscathed, and it would also impact Ye Jinghuai's reputation.
Ye Jinghuai had only just gotten an Outstanding Youth award, he couldn't ruin it because of Gu Yan Sheng.
It had to be said, this short one to two minute video was just right.
To maintain his own dignity, Gu Yan Sheng would surely choose to let it go. Even if he was exceptionally stubborn and wanted Ye Jinghuai to be punished by law despite ruining his own reputation, he would also be implicated because he admitted to forcing An Nuan. Once he called the police, he wouldn't get off either, so in the end he would still swallow this insult.
"Okay." Ye Jinghuai responded with an "en".
He didn't praise Qin Jiang for handling it very well.
It was as if Qin Jiang being able to accomplish this was something to be expected, not worth being surprised or delighted over.
An Nuan always felt.
Ye Jinghuai was really not the surface Ye Jinghuai.
Just who was he?!
"Although I know you two got married, but An Nuan, you staring at Jinghuai so intently also makes me uncomfortable," Qin Jiang said casually.
An Nuan drew back her gaze.
At that moment, although she was a bit speechless at Qin Jiang, she somehow still blushed a little from embarrassment at what he said.
She turned and went to the dining room to eat breakfast.
Ye Jinghuai and Qin Jiang also sat across from her.
The two chatted very casually.
An Nuan didn't join their conversation either, although they were just talking about trivial matters.
After she finished eating, she directly left.
Qin Jiang looked meaningfully at An Nuan's back, then turned to look at Ye Jinghuai, "Don't you feel An Nuan is very different from usual?"
Ye Jinghuai didn't answer.
Not answering meant acquiescence.
"Should I investigate her?" Qin Jiang asked.
There would always be some wariness towards people with unclear origins.
"No need." Ye Jinghuai rejected.
Qin Jiang frowned, "Aren't you afraid she was sent by someone..."
"She wasn't."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Mm." Ye Jinghuai nodded.
"What if she is..."
"If she is, I will apologize with my death."
"..." What more could he say.
"Keep a close eye on Gu Yan Sheng for me these days," Ye Jinghuai suddenly changed the topic.
Qin Jiang frowned, "Are you still trying to get back at him?"
This Ye Jinghuai, why was he so petty!
It was just him molesting An Nuan at home, and he didn't even succeed. Did he have to be so...small-minded!
"I'm worried Gu Yan Sheng will lay hands on An Nuan."
"You mean Gu Yan Sheng might kill An Nuan?!" Qin Jiang confirmed.
Ye Jinghuai nodded.
Gu Yan Sheng had never been a good person.
Once someone negatively impacted him, it was very likely he would completely remove them!
