"Since Gu YanXuan has apologized, the right thing to do is to apologize to Xia Qiqi," said An Nuan in a magnanimous manner.
Gu YanXuan's whole face changed. No matter how good she was at pretending, she could no longer pretend at this moment.
The person she hated most in her life was Xia Qiqi. They had never gotten along since childhood. All the other rich ladies let Xia Qiqi have her way, but not her. Xia Qiqi always opposed her.
Later when she fell for Xiao Nanchen, he ended up liking Xia Qiqi instead. This was the biggest humiliation in her life. She hated Xia Qiqi to the bone. And now to bow her head to Xia Qiqi was unthinkable!
Ni Lan could tell right away what her daughter was thinking. She also knew Gu YanXuan detested Xia Qiqi. To make her apologize face to face now would be even more unbearable than death. She couldn't help but resent An Nuan at that moment.
This woman had no shame. She actually still dared to pretend to be righteous. You should be grateful she lowered herself to apologize to you. And now you still have the nerve to act all high and mighty!
The more Ni Lan thought about it, the angrier she got.
But with so many people around, Ni Lan couldn't just walk away either.
And it seemed everyone was waiting for Gu YanXuan to apologize and there was no way out of this situation.
"YanXuan, look at you, being stubborn again. How could you break Qiqi's phone and not apologize?" Gu WenQuan gently admonished, trying to avoid embarrassment for his family.
Although he cleverly used the words "by accident", in the end, he still wanted Gu YanXuan to apologize to Xia Qiqi.
At this moment, Xia Qiqi stood up straight, waiting for Gu YanXuan to bow her head to her.
She had to admit, An Nuan's reward was something she looked forward to.
"YanXuan," Gu WenQuan frowned when Gu YanXuan didn't respond.
In high society, especially with male supremacy, the head of the household's words were absolute authority that no one dared to defy!
Ni Lan quickly pulled Gu YanXuan, "YanXuan, be good, apologize."
Gu YanXuan's eyes were red with anger.
"I know it was an accident, but you broke Qiqi's phone. That's not right," Ni Lan pinched Gu YanXuan from behind again.
Gu YanXuan endured the pain and glared fiercely at Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi smiled smugly.
"YanXuan," Ni Lan urged.
"I'm sorry," Gu YanXuan said through gritted teeth.
She was on the verge of tears saying it, and was clearly trying hard to restrain herself.
She probably hated everyone present in her heart right now.
An Nuan sneered from the side.
If the Gu family didn't put on such high-class airs, pretend to be so cultured, polite and well-mannered, they wouldn't have forced their own daughter to this point!
But one day, she would tear off the Gu family's facade.
"It's fine," Xia Qiqi generously said, "You're young and ignorant, I won't hold it against you. Just don't go around biting people again next time."
What did she mean young and ignorant?!
And accusing her of biting people, was she a dog?!
The moment Gu YanXuan understood Xia Qiqi's sarcasm, she completely lost control and was about to curse back at Xia Qiqi.
Ni Lan pulled Gu YanXuan back in time, "She hasn't eaten yet, I'll take her for some dessert."
She didn't want Gu YanXuan to embarrass the Gu family in public.
Gu YanXuan endured again and again.
She glared fiercely at Xia Qiqi one last time before leaving with her mother.
Just as they were about to leave.
"Rip!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of clothes tearing.
Right after, Gu YanXuan shrieked!
If she hadn't shrieked, it might have been fine.
But as soon as she shrieked, everyone looked over.
They saw Gu YanXuan's dress torn, ripped right at her chest, exposing her flesh-colored bra padding for all to see. Everyone witnessed her utterly humiliating state.
An Nuan quickly moved her foot away from Gu YanXuan's long trailing skirt, also looking rather flustered, "YanXuan, you walked too fast just now. I accidentally stepped on your skirt..."
"Ah!" Gu YanXuan was about to go mad.
She had never been so humiliated before.
Never.
She covered her chest, seeming to be seething to the point of madness, screaming inelegantly.
It took Ni Lan a while to react before hurriedly blocking her daughter from view, "Don't look!"
Her voice was angry too.
Because everyone was watching.
Such an image, such a disgraceful spectacle, how could she let outsiders see!
How would the Gu family, how would her daughter show her face in public after this!
Gu YanSheng also reacted and quickly took off his coat to cover Gu YanXuan.
"Get YanXuan out of here quickly!" At this point, even Gu WenQuan's face was extremely ugly.
The Gu family had never been so shamed before.
No one had ever been so shamed before.
Ni Lan hurriedly supported Gu YanXuan out of the hall.
Gu YanXuan cried as she walked, utterly mortified and furious.
It must have been An Nuan's doing!
That woman must have done it on purpose!
After Ni Lan and Gu YanXuan left, An Nuan and Xia Qiqi exchanged a glance.
Xia Qiqi felt that from now on, she must never underestimate her sister-in-law An Nuan again.
This chick...
Was clearly cheating!
When did she become so domineering!
"I'm sorry everyone had to see that," Gu WenQuan put on an dignified smile. "Accidents will happen. Come come, it's been so long since our four great families got together. Let's have a drink."
As the host, An Yanyuan, of course, tried to liven up the atmosphere.
The cunning people present all chimed in as well.
The atmosphere at the banquet soon returned to normal.
A picture of harmony and joy.
At this time, Gu YanSheng had pulled An Nuan to the backyard.
Of course, she could feel Gu YanSheng's anger.
"What exactly were you doing just now?!" Gu YanSheng suppressed his fury, seemingly at his wits' end.
"I really didn't mean to. I also don't know how YanXuan's skirt got under my feet. And just now, YanXuan walked too fast. If she hadn't been in such a hurry, her clothes wouldn't have ripped and exposed her like that..." An Nuan looked completely innocent.
"An Nuan, you've changed." Gu YanSheng looked at her intently, seemingly very dissatisfied with her changes.
An Nuan sneered inwardly.
Indeed changed.
If I don't change, should I continue letting you toy with me like this?!
On the surface, however, she maintained an extremely naive appearance. "Why would you suddenly think so? We're together everyday. How could I change?"
Gu YanSheng's eyes turned cold.
That's right.
Together everyday.
How could she change just like that.
But An Nuan was no longer behaving normally. He seemed to not know what she was thinking anymore, and could no longer control her.
"YanSheng, are you unhappy because of the conflict between me and your family?" An Nuan carefully asked.
Just like in the previous life.
Afraid of angering him, afraid of displeasing him, so always catering to his feelings.
As long as he showed any dissatisfaction, she would compromise without limits.
