An Yanyuan wanted to say something else.
He couldn't help but feel that his daughter now had a better sense of propriety than anyone else. He made the decision to unconditionally trust her.
The two of them walked into the hall together, their steps still a bit hurried.
After all, neither of them were present, leaving only her mother to deal with the people at the An family estate. Without a doubt, Wen QingCui must have brought An YanKun along with her. Both she and her father were afraid that her mother wouldn't be able to handle the situation and would suffer.
However, as soon as the two of them entered, they heard Li YaJu's cold and indifferent voice, "Mother-in-law, if you've come to reminisce with us, to see your son and granddaughter, and to reunite with our family, then I naturally welcome you wholeheartedly. But if you've come just to pick a fight, then I'm sorry, but I won't accompany you!"
"Li YaJu, have you become so arrogant? How dare you speak to me in such a manner? In our An family, you're nothing more than a tool for producing heirs, and not even a useful one at that, since you can't even give birth to a son. What qualifications do you have to speak to me?" Wen QingCui's voice was loud, filled with disdain for Li YaJu.
"That's right, you can't even bear a son, so I don't know what you have to be so proud of. How can you still have the audacity to show your face before your mother-in-law...?"
"So, Aunt, do you think that having a son makes you an exceptional tool for continuing the family line?" An Nuan couldn't stand it anymore.
Her voice carried a mocking tone that echoed through the hall.
Her mother had undergone a significant transformation and was no longer afraid of her grandmother.
But with so many people against her mother alone, it was inevitable that she would suffer.
Of course, she had to come out and help!
An Nuan's remark left Liu Feng unable to utter a word.
Her face turned as red as a pig's liver.
"Aunt, we are both women. How can you willingly consider yourself a mere tool for procreation? Your way of thinking truly brings shame to all women!" An Nuan continued with her sarcasm.
Liu Feng couldn't help but wish to kill An Nuan in that moment.
She was so furious that she felt like her lungs were about to explode. "An Nuan, you... you... you... have no respect for your elders!"
"I'm not lacking in respect for my elders. It's just that the people in front of me are all disrespectful old folks. I can't bring myself to respect them." An Nuan even laughed a little as she spoke.
That laugh truly made Liu Feng feel like she was about to faint.
That little wretch, An Nuan.
When did she become so sharp-tongued?
She couldn't gain the upper hand in the slightest and was even mocked into silence.
"An Nuan, you've gone too far!" Wen QingCui's face darkened as she shouted angrily at her.
Naturally, she couldn't tolerate An Nuan's mockery and disregard for her.
"Whether I've gone too far or not depends on your behavior. If you keep picking fights, then I won't have gone far enough. If you want to have a proper discussion with us, then I've gone far enough." An Nuan's voice was cold.
Wen QingCui never expected that one day she would be threatened by that little brat, An Nuan.
An YanKun has always understood Wen QingCui's heart very well, and immediately knew how to give her mother a way out. He quickly said, "Mom, don't bother with An Nuan, this little girl who hasn't even sprouted yet. It would lower your own status and waste our time."
"You're right," Wen QingCui followed the way out and stepped down. "I'm getting older and I don't have the energy to argue with you. The main reason I came today was to talk about An Yanyuan being taken away by the prosecuting authorities. What does it mean?"
An Nuan actually anticipated Wen QingCui's intention.
She didn't hide it either. "Someone reported that my dad bribed others and committed tax evasion, but it's all baseless accusations. We will handle it properly."
"Are these all real-name reports or just baseless accusations?! An Nuan, who do you think you're fooling?!" Wen QingCui clearly didn't accept this answer.
"Until there is a legal judgment, none of you have the right to say that my dad actually committed a crime."
"You!" Wen QingCui was infuriated by An Nuan's words, her face turning extremely unpleasant.
During this period of time, she couldn't argue with An Nuan.
"I don't care if what you're saying is true or false. All I know is that An Yanyuan's situation is a major issue, and it has a significant impact on our An family. I won't accept such a thing happening to our An family!" Wen QingCui stated firmly.
"Yes, the situation has occurred, and it has had an impact. Right now, all we can do is our best to minimize the consequences. Otherwise, what else can Grandma do?" An Nuan asked.
"I agree with you on minimizing the consequences." Wen QingCui surprisingly spoke agreeably.
Of course, An Nuan didn't genuinely feel grateful.
Wen QingCui's thoughts were more sinister than anyone else's.
She said, "The best way to minimize the consequences is for your dad to temporarily step down as the Chairman of the An Group."
An Nuan smiled.
She knew very well that her grandmother always had the An Group in her sights.
She never let any opportunity slip by.
She asked, "So what is Grandma's plan?"
"Temporarily let your eldest uncle take over as the Chairman of the An Group. Once your father's situation is resolved and the final outcome is clear, we can make the next plan accordingly. Right now, the most important thing is to have someone replace your dad's position and prevent his situation from affecting the An Group." Wen QingCui explained.
An Nuan fell silent for a few seconds.
It seemed like she was contemplating.
An Yanyuan looked at his daughter.
He really didn't want to argue with his mother, so he remained silent throughout the entire process.
Now he couldn't help but worry as he saw his daughter's expression.
Would An Nuan be easily persuaded like this?!
Clearly, his mother and elder brother had ill intentions.
"Grandma's next plan should be that no matter whether my father is guilty or not, once Uncle takes the position of chairman, he will never step down again! Perhaps, she will even use this opportunity to force my father to give up his shares. The reason will be that once my father holds shares, according to the company's regulations, he will still be the chairman and Anshi will still be affected because of my father's situation. If my father transfers his shares and makes it public, his situation will only be his own, and Anshi won't suffer as a result." An Nuan calmly spoke, "Isn't that right, Grandma?"
Wen QingCui's face turned green.
An Nuan revealed all her calculations.
Indeed, she wanted to first pressure An Yanyuan to step down as chairman, and then force him to hand over his shares. She had even thought of persuading the members of the board of directors. However, she didn't expect that even before she began, An Nuan would see through all of her plans!
When did this stubborn girl become so formidable!
