An Nuan looked coldly at Gu Yan Sheng.
This man truly kept pushing her limits, time and time again.
To achieve his goals, he could resort to any despicable means.
Ye Jinghuai raped An Nuan...
An Nuan bit her lip tightly, wishing she could kill Gu Yan Sheng at that moment.
How many more false accusations did he still want to pin on Ye Jinghuai!
She could not tolerate his desecration of Ye Jinghuai!
Gu Yan Sheng looked at An Nuan with a cold sneer. Although she did not completely break down, he could see her anger, her bloodshot eyes, and her trembling body from excessive restraint... It had been a long time since he felt this gratifying!
Just thinking about how An Nuan had once flaunted her superiority in front of him, thinking about all the humiliation and insults she had given him, he felt an ultimate satisfaction.
Of course.
This was not enough.
This was just an appetizer.
After getting rid of Ye Jinghuai, next was to deal with An Nuan.
Then, in alliance with the Di family, he would take down one by one the other major families of Qing City, allowing himself to reach the pinnacle of his life!
At that time... he would make everyone bow before him!
Gu Yan Sheng laughed again.
It was a laugh of utter madness.
It had probably been a long time since he felt this content, he could not even conceal his emotions.
He said, "An Nuan, I truly feel sorry for you."
An Nuan's eyes narrowed.
Gu Yan Sheng suddenly approached her, coming within a step's distance.
Hu Feng saw Gu Yan Sheng's encroachment and his fragmented emotions about to explode.
An Nuan gestured, stopping Hu Feng.
Hu Feng stood stiffly, glaring fiercely at Gu Yan Sheng before him.
Gu Yan Sheng also noticed the little exchange between An Nuan and Hu Feng, his arrogant smile widening as he reached out and lifted An Nuan's chin.
This action was clearly disrespectful toward An Nuan.
Hu Feng could not bear to watch anymore.
"Hu Feng!" An Nuan called out to him.
Hu Feng restrained himself, his bulging veins exposed.
Mr. Ye had instructed him to protect the lady at all costs.
If anything happened to the lady, he would not be able to atone for it even with his life!
Gu Yan Sheng laughed.
Seeing An Nuan's restraint in front of him, he sneered, "What, not letting your bodyguard give me a shoulder throw?!"
An Nuan looked directly at Gu Yan Sheng, "Let go!"
"I won't let go, what can you do to me?" Gu Yan Sheng laughed.
An Nuan pursed her lips, giving a cold laugh, "If you don't let go, you can't do anything to me either!"
Gu Yan Sheng's expression darkened slightly.
This woman was still so unruffled, even at this point.
"Do you dare do anything to me?" An Nuan challenged him, "When you and Di Xinyao are about to get married, do you dare do anything?!"
An Nuan directly exposed Gu Yan Sheng's weakness.
The restrained fury in Gu Yan Sheng's eyes flared, and the next second he released An Nuan's chin.
Yes.
He dared not do anything.
He merely wanted to humiliate An Nuan, then provoke her bodyguard to act out in public, giving him an excuse to have the bodyguard detained.
He wanted to slowly clip An Nuan's wings.
Starting from Qin Jiang, to this bodyguard named Hu Feng, and then to anyone else standing by her side...
An Nuan could see through Gu Yan Sheng's schemes.
So no matter what disgusting actions he took against her, she would endure them.
And she also knew very well that Gu Yan Sheng would not really do anything.
With his impending marriage, he could not risk any scandals. For Gu Yan Sheng, currying favor with the Di family was his most important move in life right now, he would not dare take any risks.
His actions were merely an attempt to provoke her or Hu Feng into doing something extreme, giving him an excuse to have them detained.
Once they were detained.
No one would be left to appeal for Ye Jinghuai's case.
A sudden silence fell.
Gu Yan Sheng abruptly turned and left.
It seemed he did not want to see An Nuan for even a second more.
In fact, it was only because An Nuan saw through his ploy, leaving him inwardly displeased.
Yet on the surface, he put on an air of disdain for her.
As he left, he said, "Ye Jinghuai is suspected of serious crimes, no one is allowed to visit him without proper procedures!"
"Yes!" The detention center staff hurriedly replied respectfully.
An Nuan glared fiercely at Gu Yan Sheng's departing back.
This attempt to visit Ye Jinghuai had failed again!
"Madam." Hu Feng called out to her from behind.
Perhaps because she had remained silent for so long.
Or perhaps because she had endured for too long.
An Nuan bit her lip.
She said, "Let's go."
Then, she left the detention center with Hu Feng and the lawyer.
Back at Ye Jinghuai's villa.
An Nuan lay on the large bed she shared with Ye Jinghuai.
It would be a lie to say she was not shaken by Gu Yan Sheng's actions.
For the first time, she felt helpless.
She felt the same powerlessness she had experienced in her previous life when Gu Yan Sheng had imprisoned her, when no matter how much she wanted to resist, she was utterly incapable.
An Nuan suddenly felt a chill throughout her body.
The scene of Gu Yan Sheng stabbing her to death in her previous life flashed before her eyes, refusing to leave.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not stop her mind from dwelling on it.
She curled up in a corner of the bed.
Tightly wrapping herself in the blanket, her whole body trembled.
She kept telling herself over and over that she would not repeat the experiences of her previous life.
Everything from her previous life had already been rewritten.
It would not happen again.
She kept reassuring herself, yet in the process, she slowly slipped into an emotional breakdown.
She wondered.
Was it possible that being reborn into this life could not change anything?
Instead...
She had even put Ye Jinghuai's life at risk.
Tears began to flow uncontrollably.
It had been a long time since she felt she would cry, or even allow herself such weakness.
She confined herself in the room for a long time.
She did not watch the news, unaware of how public perception of Ye Jinghuai had changed, unaware of how dire the situation had become.
She was alone in the room.
Alone, constantly shutting herself in an isolated world.
Hu Feng and Uncle Zhong stood outside An Nuan's door for a long time.
They had knocked on the door.
An Nuan had responded, telling them to let her be alone.
So the two men stayed worriedly, not leaving.
From around 4 PM until the early hours of the morning.
Uncle Zhong could no longer bear it.
He was afraid the lady might do something foolish.
So he reached out, intending to knock on the door again.
Just as he raised his hand, the door suddenly opened.
An Nuan's calm demeanor appeared before them.
The woman who had just been in utter despair seemed to have vanished.
Now, everyone saw the composed, calm persona once more.
She said, "I made you all worry."
"Madam," Uncle Zhong looked at her, truly feeling some pity.
He had served the young master for so many years. Although the Ye family had truly treated the young master well, he did not have much contact with them, so he could not feel their emotions deeply. However, he could clearly see everything the lady was doing for the young master now.
In this life.
The young master truly could not let down the lady's sincere devotion to him!
