Although Ye Jinghuai often goes out for dinner at night, An Nuan still left work promptly at 5:30 according to her usual schedule. During this time, most of the company's projects were on track, leaving her with not much to worry about. The biggest project was to seize the opportunity to acquire the Gu's Group.
Reborn.
She had never forgotten her deep-seated hatred. The Gu family must be ruined, completely disgraced and pitiful!
She rode back in Hu Feng's car.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed.
A few stations away from An Corporation, An Xiao was sitting in an expensive car at the moment. With An Xiao's income and assets, it was impossible for her to afford such a car. Moreover, it didn't seem to be hers. She was sitting directly in the passenger seat, appearing very restrained.
An Nuan watched the car and her own departing direction as they grew farther and farther apart. Her sixth sense told her that An Xiao suddenly having a luxury car pick her up was not simple at all.
She picked up the phone and dialed, "Qin Jiang."
"Sister-in-law, why are you calling me when Ah Huai is back? Can't you find Ah Huai if you need something?!" Qin Jiang complained clearly.
"He's busy. I don't want to disturb him."
"And I'm not busy?"
"Are you busy?"
"...No, I'm not." Qin Jiang paused, "Not busy."
An Nuan couldn't help but chuckle. She said, "Keep an eye on a car for me, license plate Qing ACV6688, and find out who the owner is."
"What's going on?"
"Just check it out. I can't confirm my own thoughts right now."
"I'll get back to you when I find out."
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me, I'm not willing to do it."
An Nuan smiled.
After Qin Jiang hung up, he quickly called Ye Jinghuai, "Your wife asked me to check a car for her. Do you need me to do it now?"
"Yes, go ahead," Ye Jinghuai said.
"Okay." Anyway, whatever Ye Jinghuai said, he would do, "I've arranged everything for your dinner tonight."
"Okay."
"Is someone really going after you?"
"Just guessing," Ye Jinghuai said casually.
Guessing?!
Since when did Ah Huai become so unreliable?!
But Qin Jiang didn't ask much.
Anyway, just get it done.
...
Inside the black car.
An Xiao sat obediently in the back seat.
Beside her was Gu YanXuan.
He was currently on the phone, looking somewhat serious and impatient, "Don't worry, An Nuan didn't see it. I deliberately had An Xiao take several detours. I'm waiting for her there."
"Mm," Gu Yan Sheng reminded several times, "Just be careful. That woman, An Nuan, is very sensitive. Even a trace of evidence could be caught by her."
"I know, I know. You focus on your own tasks, I'll handle An Xiao here."
Gu YanXuan, on the other hand, looked impatient.
Really, what was her brother afraid of?
Anyway, she would never admit that, even if An Nuan was capable, she wouldn't admit that she was any worse than An Nuan.
She turned to look at An Xiao.
An Xiao was a little nervous.
"I'll take you to freshen up a bit now. You bear a resemblance to An Nuan, so with a little styling, you'll be indistinguishable from her. When Ye Jinghuai gets drunk, we'll take the opportunity to give him some medicine. Then we'll bring him to the hotel. You know what to do next, right?" Gu YanXuan said.
An Xiao nodded.
But she couldn't help feeling nervous about tonight.
She hadn't even anticipated that the Gu family would approach her.
When Gu YanXuan called her, she was straightforward, asking if she wanted Ye Jinghuai.
After hesitating for a while, she admitted it.
And then today's events unfolded.
Gu YanXuan looked at An Xiao, her expression sly.
She had known for a while that An Xiao wanted to replace An Nuan. With the An family completely defeated, only An Xiao remained. Although An Xiao wasn't doing well at the moment, her ambition was great. Just a little sweetness would make them trust her.
Moreover, their collaboration had a very legitimate reason—they both despised An Nuan.
They both wanted to see An Nuan ousted.
With everything falling into place, how could An Xiao refuse?
Gu YanXuan wanted to see what An Nuan would have left to boast about once An Xiao got into bed with Ye Jinghuai.
She was determined to pull An Nuan down from her pedestal and crush her relentlessly.
...
The night was hazy.
An Nuan lay on the bed, checking her phone, waiting for Ye Jinghuai.
It was almost midnight.
He still hadn't come back?!
An Nuan couldn't help feeling unhappy.
They had agreed he'd be back early.
But what exactly did "early" mean to Ye Jinghuai?!
She gritted her teeth and didn't call him.
Calling or answering calls during social events was extremely impolite and would leave a bad impression.
So she just sat on the bed, waiting.
Until 1 a.m.
She received a call from Qin Jiang. "An Nuan, come downstairs and pick up Ah Huai. He's drunk."
"...Drunk?"
An Nuan quickly put down her phone and went downstairs.
There was some commotion downstairs.
An Nuan walked faster, and as soon as she reached the ground floor, she saw Ye Jinghuai being dragged by Qin Jiang.
Clearly, he was heavily intoxicated.
She hadn't seen Ye Jinghuai this drunk before.
"Why did you drink so much?" An Nuan was a little angry.
Didn't he care about his health?!
Ye Jinghuai raised his head and looked at An Nuan.
At that moment, his eyes were a bit blurry, but there was a hint of a smile in his gaze.
This guy.
Even in this state, he was hitting on her.
"Give him to me," An Nuan couldn't stand it, taking Ye Jinghuai from Qin Jiang.
Ye Jinghuai was really heavy.
The moment he pressed against An Nuan, she almost fell to the ground.
She struggled to support him and, facing Qin Jiang, said, "Thank you," then helped Ye Jinghuai up the stairs step by step.
"Take good care of Ah Huai," Qin Jiang said to An Nuan's back.
An Nuan pursed her lips.
Qin Jiang chuckled.
His idea of taking care wasn't purely innocent.
Qin Jiang turned and left.
Indeed, Ah Huai never wasted an opportunity.
If they hadn't prepared in advance tonight.
An Xiao should be on An Xiao's bed.
Qin Jiang's eyes narrowed. He quickly returned to the sedan, driving and making a call at the same time. "Where's An Xiao?"
"Mr. Qin, An Xiao has suddenly disappeared," the voice on the other end said respectfully.
Qin Jiang's face darkened. "Wasn't she under your watch?"
"We've been keeping an eye on her, but she somehow slipped away. We're searching for her now!"
"Find her quickly! Bring her to the Qin residence as soon as you locate her."
"Understood."
Qin Jiang hung up the phone.
Considering Gu Yan Sheng's capabilities, it's unlikely that An Xiao could vanish from under his people's noses.
So, this matter... is far from simple!
Perhaps, it involves someone behind the scenes.
Qin Jiang gritted his teeth.
It seems like everything is truly happening at once!
