Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 490: Provoking This Fierce Star

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Provoking This Fierce Star

Ai Ni’s eyes were red.

Both hands clenched tightly together.

Before, she had always thought that she was a daughter of the heavens, a breed apart and superior to society’s ladies.

Because she was different from them.

Ai Ni felt that she was simply a princess-like existence.

In her eyes, many other girls were worthless, like mud on the ground.

Some were even less than mud.

But the sudden blow left Ai Ni still reeling in shock.

She had been whipped by her grandfather, the one who loved her the most, until she was covered in wounds.

Her uncle and aunt looked at her with hate-filled gazes, as if they wished her dead.

Her aunt had slapped her face over a dozen times.

Actually, from head to toe, she was injured.

Sob sob sob... sob sob sob...

Ai Ni really wanted to weep bitterly.

Ever since she met Song Yunuan, she hadn’t had a single good day.

If she wasn’t being scolded, she was being beaten, not to mention the threats and intimidation.

If she could live her life over, she definitely would not provoke this scourge.

If she could live her life over, she definitely wouldn’t do those things, and she would absolutely stop her parents from doing that thing.

Alas, time could not turn back, and life could not be relived.

She sat dejectedly and tensely against the back of the chair, hands still clinched tightly together.

She stared unblinkingly at Song Yunuan, who was sitting in front of her.

This Song Yunuan, according to the information she knew, had no remarkable background nor any impressive origins.

She turned out to be an ordinary country girl.

Then, due to being switched at birth, she grew up in the city, only to be sent back to the countryside later.

If her adoptive parents knew how capable she was now, they would probably regret it, wouldn’t they?

Ai Ni’s mind was a mess with these thoughts.

Then, she heard Song Yunuan answer with a smiling, "No problem."

Many people paused.

What kind of response was that?

Were they being teased?

Then, the next moment, everyone stopped talking.

Because the host had announced the start of the press conference.

But the gazes of the crowd were still fixed on Gu Huai’an.

Actually, from the moment he entered until now, Gu Huai’an had been unfailingly nonchalant and aloof, giving off a tangible sense of distance.

But now, they felt as if they were basking in the warmth of spring around him.

He did not show any displeasure at Song Yunuan’s two-word response.

On the contrary, the whole person seemed pleased.

Anyone could tell he was happy at the moment.

They could also sense that these two had a deep relationship.

Ai Ni felt like she was going to explode with rage.

She had just used reverse psychology, thinking that Song Yunuan definitely wouldn’t dare to speak.

After all, this was a very important occasion.

Even if she did speak, she should have been scolded by the handsome young man on stage.

But Ai Ni had thought too simply.

It gave her the feeling of being force-fed something unpleasant.

But now, Ai Ni didn’t dare to make a scene.

She was in trouble herself.

She couldn’t let others see through her.

Song Yunuan was so capable, she probably disdained to mock her.

But her old enemies would undoubtedly kick her while she was down.

In the past few days, they had been trying all sorts of ways to find out what had happened to her.

What had happened?

Her parents were now locked up.

She didn’t even know how her grandfather would handle it.

Her grandfather had cried and said that both his hands were his flesh, and he would rather die first.

Ai Ni thought this and that but didn’t dare open her mouth again.

Xia Xindong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly but then relaxed again.

He sighed inwardly.

Actually, he didn’t really want people to know at such an event that Huai’an cared about Little Nuan.

But at such an event, if Huai’an didn’t answer like that, Little Nuan would also lose face.

So it’s to say, Little Nuan really didn’t care at all.

In fact, it was true; if Little Nuan were a timid person, then she would still be locked up in the basement now.

Thinking this way, Xia Xindong’s eyebrows smoothed out.

These days, it’s nothing but money and power.

After the press conference, it would be time for him to discuss the pharmaceutical factory deal.

The Dongfang Hong product launch would definitely achieve unprecedented success as expected.

The main reason was that many people didn’t quite understand the product at first and still had an impression of it as a big brick.

But if one truly understood the competition, they’d know the technology had already pulled far ahead of the big brick.

Many times, one’s vision limits their imagination.

As well as prejudice and arrogance.

But once this layer of paper is punctured, then one would also know what life with a Dongfang Hong is like.

After the press conference, the orders would definitely start.

Song Yunuan was first in line.

Her Fanhua subsidiary secured the sales rights.

This was something the two of them had already agreed upon in advance.

But there was a share to be given to the Lew family as well.

After all, although the Lew family might look weak now, with a little support, they could still rise up.

The other people were even more eager.

Especially the Sixth Master.

He followed closely behind Song Yunuan.

His industry was also countless under his control.

As for the other big shots, except for a few who intentionally did not support, the rest were optimistic about Dongfang Hong.

After all, it had also been demonstrated on site.

Dongfang Hong made a brilliant start.

Gu Huai’an and Song Yunuan stood together, looking like a perfect couple.

Those who wanted to strike up a conversation didn’t have the courage to approach.

Mainly because of Gu Huai’an, whose looks were too stunning; many felt inferior in his presence.

Moreover, Gu Huai’an also had an official identity.

They respected that.

So naturally, they didn’t dare to act rashly.

Ai Ni finally waited until Song Yunuan was alone.

She stared at Song Yunuan intently.

Song Yunuan asked her again, "What are you staring at?"

Ai Ni sneered, "Song Yunuan, aren’t you a know-it-all? Aren’t you knowledgeable about everything from astronomy to geography? Then tell me, what am I staring at?"

Song Yunuan glanced at Ai Ni, who was learning fast enough to know how to ask a rhetorical question.

Ai Ni said with resentment, "Song Yunuan, aren’t you being nosy?

Even if I didn’t realize it at that time, I would have eventually come to understand; couldn’t you have given me some time to process?

Why did you have to expose this matter in front of Grandpa, you wanted to curry favor in front of Chang Dan’s woman.

But haven’t you noticed? Until now, my eldest uncle and aunt haven’t thought to thank you; so what’s the use of trying to please them?"

Song Yunuan thought to herself, with that couple in so much pain, would they even think to thank her?

It’s already good that Chang Dan hasn’t gone mad.

Besides, she wasn’t dealing with Ai Zhifeng and his family for Chang Dan’s sake.

Ai Ni seemed to have found her speaking point and adopted an attitude of resignation.

"Even so, my grandpa won’t do anything to me.

You should know that I have shielded him from a life-and-death disaster before.

Grandpa owes me his life, no, maybe even more than one.

So he can’t do anything to me, and then I appeared at this event.

Song Yunuan, don’t you always talk about erasing the Ai family from the face of the earth?

Go on then, do it now, make the Ai family disappear from the earth right now.

You’re just boasting, aren’t you? You can’t actually do it.

All the Old Niu in the sky, are they the ones you blew up there?"

Song Yunuan looked at Ai Ni with some surprise.

Well, it’s true that Ai Ni has quite a knack for talking back...
