He Yue'er was so angry that she trembled all over, and her well-maintained face turned a deep purplish-red.
How dare they call the things they keep at home "dirty"!
These are things that many ordinary families would love to but could never get their hands on!
"mom!"
Gu Wanwan quickly grabbed her, shook her head, and gestured for her to calm down.
The plan failed; Ye Nian'an was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
She wasn't moved by his sincerity; instead, she directly broke off all pretense of civility.
Gu Wanwan was both shocked and angry, but she maintained her aggrieved expression, tears welling up in her eyes as if they were about to fall at any moment.
“Sister Nian’an, how could you say that… We really came here sincerely to apologize…”
"sincerity?"
Ye Nian'an scoffed, looking at her as if she were a clown.
"If you're really sincere, you should go to the police station and confess all the dirty deeds your brother has done over the years, so he can spend the rest of his life in jail, instead of bringing a bunch of junk and putting on a show at my doorstep."
After she finished speaking, she didn't look at them again, turned around and walked into the yard, then slammed the gate shut without any hesitation.
The heavy door completely blocked out the two pale and ashen faces outside.
"Outrageous! Outrageous!"
He Yue'er stomped her feet in anger and complained to Gu Wanwan in a low voice, "Who does she think she is! How dare she talk to us like that! If it weren't for Song Yan and Xu Yao, we wouldn't have bothered coming!"
Gu Wanwan's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
She clenched her fists tightly, her meticulously manicured nails digging deep into her palms, causing a sharp, stinging pain.
Ye Nian'an! You just wait!
Since the soft approach isn't working, don't blame me for taking a hard line!
I have the entire script in my hands, and you're just an arrogant and domineering NPC!
One day, I will make you kneel at my feet and beg me!
Ye Nian'an listened to the sound of a car engine starting outside the courtyard gate until the sound completely faded away before the cold smile on her lips slowly disappeared.
"Sister-in-law, who is it?"
Chu Xin'er happened to come out of the house, holding an apple in her hand, and took a bite with a "crunch".
Seeing that Ye Nian'an's expression was off, he immediately came over.
Ye Nian'an briefly recounted what had just happened.
"damn it!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xin'er instantly exploded, slammed the half-eaten apple onto the stone table, rolled up her sleeves, and rushed out.
"These shameless bastards dare to come here! I'll tear Gu Wanwan's face off!"
"They left long ago."
Ye Nian'an pulled her back and spoke slowly, a hint of amusement in her eyes: "It's too late for you to chase after them now."
"So we're just going to let it go like that? That's too easy on them!"
Chu Xin'er's cheeks puffed up with anger.
"How could we just let it go?"
Ye Nian'an looked at her amusedly: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would suffer a loss?"
She pulled Chu Xin'er to sit down on the stone bench, lowering her voice slightly: "Believe it or not, in less than three days, Gu Wanwan will be crying and begging me again."
Chu Xin'er was taken aback: "Why?"
"Because she needs something from me."
Ye Nian'an tapped her fingertips lightly on the stone table, making a firm sound: "Gu Tao's case is a done deal. She's here now not to save her brother, but for herself."
"Don't forget, they're eyeing your brother Song Yan and Xu Yao. They're obviously trying to climb the social ladder, so you absolutely can't leave a bad impression on them."
"Hmph~ How could Brother Song Yan possibly look down on her?"
Chu Xin'er crossed her arms over her chest.
This confidence is not unfounded.
If Song Yan is really snatched away by someone like Gu Wanwan, then she doesn't want her either.
What's the point of having a man with such poor taste?
Ye Nian'an smiled slightly and continued, "Even setting aside Gu Wanwan's own thoughts, no matter how extensive the Gu family's connections are, they still have to rely on the Song and Xu families."
"They're afraid that Gu Tao's affair will affect Song Yan and Xu Yao's relationship, so they're in a hurry to distance themselves and come here to put on this show."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes: "She thinks that giving me a few gifts or shedding a few drops of cat pee will make me give in. Little does she know that the more she does this, the more humble she will become."
Chu Xin'er listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion.
But she knew that if her sister-in-law said that, she must have her reasons.
"Sister-in-law, you mean... we just wait?"
"certainly."
Ye Nian'an's lips curled into a sly smile, like a fox eyeing its prey.
“This is called playing the long game. If I accept their gifts now, the show will be over. But I won’t. I’ll keep her hanging on, making her restless and anxious, so she’ll know that if she wants me to do something, she has to show real sincerity.”
The Gu family... did remind her.
Such a filthy place must be rife with illicit activities.
If she manages to get in and enter the house, it won't be as simple as just kicking someone out.
When the time comes, I'll definitely move all of the Gu family's shady assets into her space!
The Gu family matter was quickly forgotten.
It was evening.
A series of steady footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.
Chu Xin'er was playing with Da Da, Er Er, and San San, who had just woken up, in the yard, building blocks.
Hearing the noise, she called out without turning her head, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
The deep, magnetic voice made Chu Xin'er pause abruptly, her heart skipping a beat.
She turned around and saw Song Yan wearing a well-made dark gray cashmere coat, with a neatly pressed white shirt underneath, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine.
He was tall and upright, with deep-set eyes and a noble air. Just standing there quietly, he seemed out of place with his surroundings, his nobility like that of a deity.
"You...how did you get here?"
Chu Xin'er's cheeks suddenly felt hot, and she quickly patted the dust off her hands and stood up.
Song Yan stepped closer, his deep gaze falling on her flushed cheeks. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his voice was a few decibels lower and hoarseer than before: "I'm sorry, Xin'er, I've been busy with family matters lately."
He took out an exquisite velvet box from behind him and handed it to her: "This is to make it up to you."
Chu Xin'er was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to refuse: "I...I don't blame you."
She knew he was busy. He had used many of the Song family's connections to handle the aftermath of the exoneration of the Chu and Ye families, and had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.
This New Year's Day, such a special holiday, naturally required networking and kept me incredibly busy.
Xu Yao secretly told her all of these things.
Song Yan seemed to read her mind and opened the box directly.
A delicate Swiss Titoni women's watch lies quietly in a velvet lining. The small dial is made of mother-of-pearl, which gleams with a warm luster under the light, and the silver strap is slender and elegant.
In the 1970s, such an imported watch was undoubtedly an extremely valuable gift.
Chu Xin'er was stunned.
good……
So beautiful!
