"Shut up!"

Gu Chen whispered a rebuke to her, his eyes dark and menacing: "What do you know? This woman is not simple."

"Her father is Ye Xiang, a university professor, her maternal grandfather is Dr. Jin, and she herself is married to Chu Yan, making her the wife of a high-ranking official. With such a family background, she has the right to be arrogant."

"I just tested her a bit, and her answers were all reasonable and watertight. Do you think an ordinary woman could say that?"

Gu Wanwan pouted defiantly: "So what? It's still all thanks to a man!"

Compared to herself, a transmigrated woman from the 21st century, this old-fashioned NPC was completely beneath her notice.

So what if they're a little difficult to deal with? In the end, didn't I still manage to coax them in?

"madness!"

Gu Chen glanced at her coldly: "A woman who can be protected by Chu Yan, Song Yan, and Xu Yao, can she just be a pretty face?"

“Wanwan, I’m warning you, put away your self-righteousness. Our Gu family is currently in a precarious situation. The Song family’s attitude is unclear, and we must maintain our connection with the Chu family. Ye Nian’an is our only breakthrough point.”

"The fact that she came today means there's still room for maneuver. The fact that she refused the gift means she has bigger plans. What you need to do next is continue to please her and fulfill all her requests until she finally gives in. What does it matter if you have to suffer a little grievance when necessary?"

"Okay, I understand."

Gu Wanwan never considered giving up.

Anyway, that's how she worked in her past life, so she's used to it.

Criticism is criticism.

But for the sake of their own bright and happy future...

Giving up is tantamount to suicide!

That side.

After going downstairs, Ye Nian'an did not go straight to the bathroom.

He seemed to blend into the shadows, his footsteps so light they made no sound.

Nourished by the spiritual spring water over the years, her five senses have far surpassed those of ordinary people.

If you listen carefully, you can clearly hear the slight conversations upstairs, the sound of the nanny chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and even the slight rustling of leaves outside the window.

After quickly determining everyone's location, she moved with lightning speed, arriving at the study door like a ghost.

Judging from the sound, no one was in the study.

The door was indeed locked.

Ye Nian'an took out a lock pick from his spatial storage and unlocked the door with lightning speed, sneaking inside.

His gaze quickly settled on the copy of "Travelers Among Mountains and Streams" on the wall.

She walked up to the painting and, following the spatial instructions, gently pressed her hand on an inconspicuous carving in the lower right corner of the frame.

"Click—"

With a barely audible sound, the entire wall covered with paintings slowly moved inward, revealing a dark opening.

Ye Nian'an walked in without hesitation.

The secret room was not large, with ten large wooden crates neatly stacked in the center.

She strode forward without hesitation and reached out to touch each box in turn.

"receive!"

With a thought, the ten heavy wooden crates vanished from their spot.

She turned and walked out of the secret room, restored the mechanism, and the walls slowly closed without leaving a trace.

Next target: the underground wine cellar!

She held her breath and focused intently on the sounds coming from upstairs.

Gu Chen and Gu Wanwan continued their conversation, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.

She moved with the agility of a swallow, and in a few leaps, she arrived at the entrance to the basement.

The door was locked, but that wasn't a problem for Ye Nian'an at all.

He took out the lock pick from the space again, and with a light flick of his fingertips, gently pushed and turned the lock cylinder.

"Click".

The lock is open.

The basement was filled with clutter and the air was damp.

She went straight to the innermost wine cellar and, using the same method, easily unlocked the door again.

West wall.

Ye Nian'an's gaze fell on the seemingly ordinary wall on the left side of the wine cellar.

Follow the instructions in the interface to turn on the switch.

"Boom..."

A dull rustling sound rang out, and the entire west wall slowly slid to one side, revealing a hidden treasure trove behind it.

Even in the dim underground, the neatly arranged antique paintings, calligraphy, porcelain from previous dynasties, and gold and silver treasures still radiated a breathtaking light.

Ye Nian'an's breathing quickened.

The Gu family has quite a deep foundation! They've kept it hidden for so long!

Without further hesitation, she rushed in, her hands moving swiftly across the wooden boxes, porcelain vases, and scrolls, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Collect! Collect! Collect!"

Wherever it goes, not a blade of grass grows!

Whether it was boxes of silver dollars, precious antiques, or several boxes of aged Moutai, she put them all into her spatial storage.

In just over ten seconds, the once dazzling treasure trove became completely empty, leaving only dust on the ground.

Ye Nian'an clapped his hands in satisfaction, turned around and walked out of the secret room, restored the mechanism, and locked the doors to the wine cellar and basement.

As for the master bedroom on the second floor, there are people inside now, so we can't go in and have to give up.

But having received so many things, it's enough.

After doing all this, she leisurely walked to the bathroom on the first floor, turned on the faucet, and pretended to wash her hands.

It took no more than five minutes to get back to the second floor.

Gu Chen and Gu Wanwan had finished their conversation, and upon seeing her return, they immediately put on warm smiles.

The three listened to music for a while longer, then Ye Nian'an made an excuse that she had too many children at home and wanted to go back.

"Sister Nian'an, why don't you stay for a meal? Aunt Wang's cooking is amazing, you should try it."

"No, the kids haven't seen me in so long, I'm afraid they'll cry."

When the topic of Zai Zai came up, Gu Wanwan and Gu Chen didn't want to linger.
