Chapter 489: Chapter 489: How Dare the Glow of Fireflies Compete with the Morning Sun

Song Yunuan looked at Ai Ni, who wore a mask.

Suddenly, she reached out and ripped off the mask.

Before Ai Ni could let out a shrill scream, Song Yunuan had quickly put the mask back on her,

and even covered Ai Ni’s mouth in the process.

Anyone who dared to sabotage her little brother’s launch event was an enemy Song Yunuan could not share the sky with.

Warning flashed in Song Yunuan’s eyes.

The shout that Ai Ni was about to let out was forcefully stifled.

It had to be, given that her mouth was covered.

The strength emanating from the delicate palm of the hand reminded her once again of the fear of being dominated by Song Yunuan.

Even if she felt it was no big deal, in reality, it was.

Song Yunuan glanced at her briefly before withdrawing her gaze.

Not only were there scars from being slapped on her face, but also marks of nails scratched in flesh.

Her eyes were swollen, too, and Ai Ni was holding a pair of glasses, obviously taken off just to greet her.

She quickly put the glasses back on.

On the inadvertently revealed arm, were those scars from a whipping?

It seemed she had not suffered a little.

Indeed, Chang Dan was nearly going mad, for she hadn’t gotten pregnant again since that incident.

If Ai Ruifeng was a heartless and loveless man, it would be one thing; there were countless women eager to bear his child.

But, unfortunately, Ai Ruifeng was a romantic, showing interest in no one but Chang Dan.

He naturally suffered day and night in agony.

Knowing the truth, he would certainly not let Third Young Master Ai Zhifeng off the hook.

Chang Dan wouldn’t let Third Lady Lan Shaoxia off easily either.

Not to mention Ai Ni, who knew the inside story yet acted as if nothing happened.

And what about Old Master Ai?

He fathered five sons and four daughters by three women.

The eldest and the second were born to his first wife, who died of illness, after which he married another, who gave birth to the third and fourth sons as well as two daughters; the rest were from his third wife whom he later married.

The second wife also passed away due to illness.

Despite claims that he caused the death of his wives, there were still many who wanted to be with him.

This is the current family structure of the Ai family.

On such an important occasion today, neither Old Mr. Ai nor Ai Ruifeng made an appearance, and neither did Ai Zhifeng and Lan Shaoxia, but they also couldn’t just be sent to the police station.

After all, one does not air one’s dirty linen in public.

Especially someone like Old Mr. Ai, who prided himself on his clean family image.

What’s unexpected was that Ai Ni still had the nerve to step outside, and moreover, she seemed to have a good psychological quality, daring to strut about like this.

Did Song Yunuan lean more towards the idea that Ai Ni actually came to flaunt in front of her?

Song Yunuan spoke very quickly, "If you dare to cause trouble, I dare to skin you alive right here on the street!"

Ai Ni: ...

She shrank back a bit, somewhat afraid.

But still with ill intent, she lowered her voice, "Song Yunuan, you and Gu Huai’an come from the same place, right? You’re so powerful and imposing, you know everything and dare to say anything, but do you dare to speak up at such an event? You don’t dare, do you? That’s why you’re threatening me not to speak up, not to make trouble, right?"

Song Yunuan raised an eyebrow, "You think you can provoke me into embarrassing myself by using reverse psychology?

Unfortunately for you, I’m actually willing to fall for your bait!

Listen up, I am going to greet our accomplished Director Gu right now."

At that moment, the press conference was just about to start, and Song Yunuan suddenly raised her hand.

Gu Huai’an had already been keeping a part of his attention on Song Yunuan, who was sitting in the front row.

Even though the room was filled with distinguished ladies, in Gu Huai’an’s eyes, they were as commonplace as cabbages.

To him, Little Nuan was like the brilliant morning sun.

She was the most outstanding one.

The others?

How could the light of a firefly dare to compete with the glory of the sun?

Seeing the light in her eyes, Gu Huai’an stood even taller.

And inside, he felt incredibly pleased.

After all, it was really the first time he had seen Little Nuan like this.

He was genuinely admiring her, not teasing her.

Then he saw a woman wearing a mask patting her shoulder and talking to her, and also saw others.

Clearly, this woman was acquainted with Little Nuan.

No one else could wear such malice except for Ai Ni.

Then he saw Little Nuan raising her hand.

Song Yunuan’s gesture was quite unconventional.

After all, this was a press conference, not a press reception.

Moreover, since Gu Huai’an had taken the stage, the venue had been very quiet.

Of course, this quietness meant there were no loud, clamorous noises, but occasional whispering discussions were still present.

After all, there were hundreds of people here.

But no one else had raised their hand.

Suddenly, everyone turned to look at the girl sitting in the front row.

Why was she raising her hand?

What did she want to say?

If she was with Huai’an, shouldn’t she have raised her hand before he was about to speak?

But if she was sent by the opposition, that would make sense.

Old Master Gu just narrowed his eyes, acting as if nothing was amiss.

Xia Xindong, however, watched Gu Huai’an with amusement.

He really wanted to see how Gu Huai’an would deal with this, as in many people’s eyes, Little Nuan’s actions were regarded as immature.

Knowing that Gu Huai’an had a special place for her, but in such an important occasion, Little Nuan’s actions could be perceived as arrogant due to favoritism.

A dark gleam passed through Zhong Shaoqing’s eyes. As long as Gu Huai’an dared to turn down Little Nuan and ignore her, he would take the opportunity to do what he had been wanting to do.

As for Song Yunuan’s elder brother, Song Mingbo, and Little Asheng, they didn’t find it strange.

But they were also curious about what she was up to.

Many socialites couldn’t help showing their disdain unanimously.

Truly ignorant of the ways of the world.

Who was this girl, daring to raise her hand to speak?

Was this another way of hitting on someone?

Such audacity, and quite shameless at that.

Shangguan Heng and some others were also in the front row, turning their heads to look at Song Yunuan.

Regrettably, they didn’t dare to show their emotions.

Sixth Master was somewhat puzzled.

What was Miss Song up to?

Wasn’t it said that she was part of the same group as the people holding the press conference?

That’s why he had boldly led a group of his men here to help maintain order behind the scenes.

After all, he had heard some rumors.

Although he couldn’t serve any other purpose, preventing troublemakers from disrupting the press conference was something he could handle.

It was also a way to repay a great favor to his benefactor.

Sixth Master was truly grateful to Song Yunuan, not just thankful.

While everyone had their different thoughts, Gu Huai’an’s eyes twinkled with a smile, he put down the documents in his hand, and his voice was gentle and pleasant, "Miss Song, is there something you’d like to say?"

Old Master Gu kept a serious face on the outside but was overjoyed on the inside.

A young lady like Little Nuan should be treated with such caution.

Otherwise, it’s uncertain if anyone would even get close to her.

The rest of the audience exchanged looks.

Some socialites and young ladies couldn’t help but feel a sourness bubble up inside them.

With such a tone and attitude, everyone knew Gu Huai’an’s relationship with Song Yunuan was deep.

Sixth Master breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness, he had thought his benefactor had intentionally come to cause trouble.

Then he would have considered whether he, too, should start some mischief.

Not anymore.

Now, all that was left was to wait for the press conference to start, then do his best to buy and promote Dongfang Hong...
