Gu Yan Sheng was stunned by the slap from An Nuan.
He stared at An Nuan with wide eyes, even somewhat losing himself.
A woman like An Nuan, who was educated in etiquette by upper class society, actually hit him!
A woman who only knew to abide by conventions actually slapped him in front of everyone!
He looked at An Nuan with anger on his face.
Seeing that in the second he was stunned, An Nuan had already shaken off his hand and turned to leave.
He clenched his fists tightly.
Still trying to think of ways to make An Nuan stay.
Ways to make their wedding continue.
Just then.
"Stop right there!" A harsh but dignified elderly voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked towards the old person who had suddenly appeared on stage, Wen QingCui.
They saw her being supported by An YanKun, marching aggressively onto the center of the stage, yelling at An Nuan.
An Nuan's departing footsteps paused for a moment.
Not because she was afraid of Wen QingCui, she just felt that since some people were shameless, she should thoroughly make them lose face!
She turned around, facing Wen QingCui.
Wen QingCui didn't give An Nuan any leeway in front of everyone, yelling loudly, "Is marriage a game? How can you make such a fuss!"
Before An Nuan could speak.
Wen QingCui scolded again, "Your marriage to Gu Yan Sheng was arranged by your grandfather himself. A parent's order, a matchmaker's word! Now the Gu family has come with great fanfare to marry you, and you're leaving just like that. Do you still put us elders in your eyes? Do you still have any family rules?"
An Nuan was not actually expecting the Gu family to find allies so quickly.
As expected, she had been badly deceived by them back then. This family's capabilities really could not be underestimated.
But she was no longer the An Nuan of back then either.
She would not obey just because someone tried to threaten her a few times, or say a couple words.
She looked straight at Wen QingCui, "So Granny feels that as long as it's a marriage arranged by elders, even if the other party is a murderer, I should still marry him?!"
Her sarcastic words immediately caused Wen QingCui's face to darken.
She glared at An Nuan and said fiercely, "Don't stand here and argue semantics with me! Gu Yan Sheng is not a murderer, he just made mistakes that all men make. At a time when he feels such remorse and hardship, instead of accompanying him through it, you abandoned him! Our An family does not have ungrateful descendants like you!"
"Ungrateful?" An Nuan laughed coldly again, "So in Granny's mind, Gu Yan Sheng cheating is also my fault? If I went and cheated, Gu Yan Sheng should also unconditionally forgive me!"
"An Nuan!" Wen QingCui was so angry her face turned green. "How can you say something so shameless."
"Yes, how can you say something so shameless!" An Nuan's voice grew louder and more forceful. "Marriage is my own business. I have chosen the right path for my own happiness. On what basis can you use your elder's authority to stop me?! Or does Granny think that whether I live well or not is unimportant, as long as you can profit, I can marry anyone!"
"Shut up!" Wen QingCui yelled.
An Nuan was equally unyielding, "You who disrespect the elderly should be the one to shut up!"
"An Nuan, are you trying to rebel?!" Wen QingCui was truly driven mad by An Nuan.
She had not expected at all that An Nuan would dare to argue with her in front of everyone.
Let alone in the An family courtyard. At that time there was no one else.
And now she actually still dared to confront her like this.
In her impression, An Nuan was not like this.
From young till now, as long as she scolded a little harshly, An Nuan would give in and admit her mistake.
But now she not only didn't fear her at all, she even rebelled in front of so many people, and made her lose face completely!
At this moment in the eyes of outsiders, she was someone who couldn't even control her own granddaughter.
People might even say she had no say at all in the An family.
Thinking of this, Wen QingCui became even more furious.
Of course.
An Nuan no longer cared.
She would not be merciful or soft-hearted toward Wen QingCui.
She said coldly, "Now I finally understand why grandfather disliked you so much! Turns out it's because granny's morals are twisted!"
"An Nuan, what nonsense are you saying! Are you so unfilial that I need to get your uncle An YanKun to discipline you!" An YanKun suddenly cut in, also wanting to suppress An Nuan's temper.
An Nuan glanced at An YanKun, "Originally, I really didn't intend for our An family be so humiliated, or pursue this matter too thoroughly. But since uncle is so intent on upholding justice for our An family, we might as well bring up the fuse of this incident - Gu Yan Sheng's affair with your daughter An Zhao!"
An YanKun's expression changed instantly.
Just now he had been requested by the Gu family to coerce An Nuan into completing the wedding ceremony. Privately he had some shady dealings with the Gu family, and An YanKun also wanted to use the power of other families to take back An Shi Group, which he felt should belong to him. So he readily agreed.
But he had overlooked that this incident was triggered by his own daughter.
By coming on stage, he was embarrassing himself too.
An Nuan did not give An YanKun any face at all, aggressively pressing, "Uncle, just now Gu Yan Sheng kept saying it was An Zhao who seduced him. Is that true or not? Should we confront each other face to face? If it really is, perhaps I could still forgive Gu Yan Sheng."
An YanKun was so angry he wanted to beat An Nuan to death.
When Gu Yan Sheng heard An Nuan might forgive him, he hurriedly said, "Where's An Zhao? I want to confront An Zhao!"
Since they had been found out anyway.
Since it had all come out in the open, he no longer needed to be concerned that An Zhao would expose him.
To him, An Zhao was just someone he had casually toyed with. In his eyes, she was not even as good as An Nuan.
At least An Nuan was the legitimate heiress of the An family.
She was someone of low status, it was benevolence for him to favor her.
An YanKun looked at Gu Yan Sheng, his expression changing instantly.
He had come to help plead for him, yet this bastard Gu Yan Sheng could immediately turn hostile.
At this moment.
An Zhao was also forcibly pulled on stage by the Gu family.
Under the wedding hall's lights, her dazzling, glittery wedding dress shone exceptionally brightly.
She had thought she looked so beautiful it was stunning, but now due to the sudden incident she felt extremely ashamed.
She looked at everyone on stage somewhat nervously.
At that moment she gave Gu Yan Sheng a pitiful look. Although just now Gu Yan Sheng had adamantly insisted it was her who took the initiative, she kept consoling herself that Gu Yan Sheng had no choice in order to handle his big event.
Now that she was forced to face up to this matter, she still felt Gu Yan Sheng could save her, protect her.
She acted pitiful and helpless.
The next second, she heard Gu Yan Sheng say, "An Zhao, why did you drug me, using such despicable and shameless methods to make me do things that betrayed An Nuan!"
