My Evil Genius Wife

When Xu Nuan arrived, Grandfather Gu opened his eyes and looked at Yuhan and Xu Nuan who were being stopped by Xingren and Gu Zhang. 

" Why are you standing there? Come inside." 

Xu Nuan winked at Xingren before walking to Grandfather Gu, passing by Xinrgen and Gu Zhang who was looking at her with their wide-shocked eyes. 

Last night she got Grandfather Gu's call and he asked her to visit him at the office suddenly, that too while wearing a formal dress. Although she has no idea what he is planning, she ended up taking a half-day off from work just to come here. 

Yuhan followed her who was also invited to the office with no information about the purpose of their visit. It was a surprise, just like for Xingren and Gu Zhang.

Gu Zhang pursed his lips seeing Xu Nuan who was sitting on the chair opposite Grandfather Gu and was casually enjoying her coffee. It was her first time coming to the company and according to her previous personality, she would have been nervous and out of place. 

But she looked calm and non-interested in anything as if she is used to such extravagant official settings. When he looks at this Xu Nuan, he can't help but think about the Xu Nuan before who used to panic and gets nervous every time she exists in any formal, crowded setting. 

Is it possible for people to change to this extent after just an accident? He wondered how someone changes overnight. 

" Father, why did you call her? What is the use to call this girl here? This is an office, you can't bring anyone here." Gu Zhang complained. 

Grandfather Gu's expressions darkened as he slammed on the table, " Anyone? If she is anyone, then you must think that I don't deserve to sit in this office as well."

" Father, that's not what I mean. You're over-

" Gu Zhang, I don't want to argue about anything right now." He checked his wrist-watch and said, " It's time for the meeting, let's go." He stood up after saying and turned to Xu Nuan, " Xu Nuan, Yuhan, you both will attend today's meeting with me."

Xu Nuan glanced at Yuhan in confusion and turned to Xingren who was looking paler than before following Gu Jianhong out of the office like a lost puppy. 

Xingren looked at Yuhan who was following Xu Nuan and stopped him, " Yuhan, why did Grandfather Gu call you here? Can't you just tell me?" she asked in a low-pitiful voice as if she is the most grieved person in the world. 

He looked at her and took a moment of silence before replying, " I don't know either. But I think...you need to be prepared." He said, warning her. He doesn't know what's happening, but seeing the situation, it's not gonna be happy news for Xingren at least. 

His words made her eyes turn red as hot tears started to pool in her eyes. Xinregn bit her lower lip as she watched him walking out of the office following them as if he didn't care about her. Isn't he,  her fiance? Shouldn't he follow and help her instead? Even though it was their families who fixed their engagement, they are still engaged. 

-

In the conference room, the board of directors was waiting for the meeting to start. When Grandfather Gu arrived, all the other members stood up to greet him and took their seats when Gu Jianhong took his seat that was in the center of the table to lead the meeting. 

Everyone watched Xu Nuan who followed Grandfather Gu inside the room in wonder. They have seen her at the Company's anniversary banquet and were aware of her position as the adopted daughter in the family. It was a great surprise that he brought this girl to the company. 

Having Yuhan in the meeting was not a surprise since he is soon going to be the son-in-law of Gu's and was aware of his business experiences. But 'why this girl is here' was the only question running in everyone's head. 

Gu Zhang and Xingren walked into the room followed by them and saw Xu Nuan sitting on the right of Grandfather Gu, the place where Xingren used to sit and watch the proceedings of the meeting which have been now taken by someone insignificant. 

Gu Zhang took his seat on the left of Grandfather Gu while Xingren just took a seat beside him while staring at Yuhan who was sitting beside Xu Nuan. 

" Chairman Gu, what is the purpose of this emergency meeting? And...before starting the meeting, can you send the insignificant people out of the room? I don't feel comfortable talking about company's matters in front of someone who doesn't hold any position in the company." One of the important shareholders spoke while staring at Xu Nuan with his side-eyes, looking down at her. 

The man sitting beside him nudged at him and said in a low voice, " Mr. Xin, this is the girl Mr. Han has introduced as his girlfriend the other day. You shouldn't speak about her like this." 

Since they were all present at the company banquet, they witnessed the events unfolding. Although Han Zihao stopped the rumors and news from spreading, otherwise the newspapers and television would have been flooded with the news of Han Zihao and his mysterious-adopted princess girlfriend of the Gu family. 

The man scoffed and responded, " It was all a facade to manage the situation. It must be the Old Gu who requested him to put this act to save face in front of the guests and Yang Jian. Otherwise, this girl...can she be together with Han Zihao? Impossible!"

Xingren's lips curled in a smirk upon listening to those hushed whispers, however, the smirk was soon replaced by a curious-worried gaze. Xu Nuan who was sitting opposite her was surprised to see her transition from mean-bitch to a sweet-angel girl. 

She wanted to applaud her acting but controlled her urge to be swayed by her overflowing emotions. Control Xu Nuan, control. It's not a time to be impressed by her acting, breathe in and out.

Grandfather Gu frowned and glared at the man who requested for Xu Nuan to be sent out of this room, " Mr. Xin, I have an important reason to hold this emergency meeting. And my granddaughter, Gu Nuan is also part of that reason. So her presence in the meeting is necessary, however, if you want, you can step out if you feel uncomfortable with her presence." His words were said in a calm-polite manner yet it hit hard Mr. Xin's excessive ego. 

A deep frown appeared on his forehead as he cleared his throat and fixed his coat before sitting back without saying anything. 

Xingren had her hands on her lap and clutched her dress in nervousness. He called her Gu Nuan. Since the day Xu Nuan has entered the Gu family, they have never changed her surname and used to call her with her previously used surname Xu only, the name she was using in the orphanage.

Because of this, people never recognized her as part of the family. But why is he calling her Gu Nuan all of a sudden?

He isn't planning to….she turned to the old man with her wide eyes, hoping whatever she was thinking would not be true. Grandpa, you can't be-
