My Evil Genius Wife

Xu Nuan's lips curled into a scornful smirk as she turned to Mr. Xin, " Well, if one of the major shareholders of the company has this kind of opinion, then I don't see any problem why I can't have a major part of the shares of the company." 

"....."

A dark frown appeared on Mr. Xin's face upon seeing Xu Nuan's smirk with her 'sarcastic' remark. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, " You!! Do you think it was a bad idea to get investment from YJ Corp. and partner with them? Then tell me what was so bad about it?"

Seeing Xu Nuan's indifferent expressions, he continued, " You have no response, right? How can a girl like you have an opinion about business matters." He scoffed. 

Xu Nuan who was looking at him silently, couldn't help but wonder how big of a fool he is. Without giving her a chance to speak, he thought that she has no opinion? Stupid!

She glanced at Xingren who still had her head held down but there was a strange creepy smirk on her face. She still hasn't learned the lesson. 

" As a 'big businessman', you must be aware of the basics of every successful business, 'Research'. Yang Jian has a shi*ty reputation and everyone in the market is aware of his divorce from his wife due to his affair, his under-handed activities along with the business. There is a long list of his dirty deeds that you all must be aware of."

" Yet you supported Xingren's idea of partnering with YJ Corporations. It's it a bit ridiculous?" she turned to everyone while looking at them as if she was looking down at them with her youthful eyes. 

"...."

Everyone looked at her with their mouth slightly parted. Mr. Xin glanced at everyone before saying, " What does it have to do with us? It was all rumors anyway. Don't you know that such rumors in the business industry come and go, it doesn't do anything to the man." 

Xu Nuan almost scoffed out loud at his words. If this has been the entertainment industry, be it, man or woman, that person would have been stripped naked by the media and public opinion, even if it was only rumored. 

" Rumours? I wonder how many scandals Mr. Xin is involved in, for you to say this thing so easily," she commented, making the man flustered. However, she didn't heed to his widened eyes and continued, " I don't know about you but Grandfather Gu has built Gu Corporations with some morals and has a goodwill in the market. To run any business successfully, the most important key is the market reputation and goodwill."

" Partnering with YJ Corporation might have introduced new buyers but the profit would have been temporary. The scandals around Yang Jian would have brought Gu Corporations in a bad light as well. You are watching the news these days, aren't you? Seeing how YJ Corporations is crumbling into pieces because of the lawsuit by his wife and controversies around him, do you still think it was a good idea to be partnering with him?" 

" If yes, then I doubt if your opinions in the meeting hold any logic or not. Because any sensible man would not think that it was a good idea at least after seeing how YJ Corporations was facing the situation of bankrupting." she shook her head in disbelief after she completed her words. 

After she was done speaking, the room fell into a deep silence. Grandfather Gu's lips curled into a proud smirk upon seeing Xu Nuan responding to all of their questions and shutting their mouths. 

" Mr. Xin, do you have anything else to say? I think it's a good way to check Xu Nuan's business opinions and judge if she is capable of managing her shares or not." Grandfather Gu said, allowing them to ask questions to Xu Nuan and see if she deemed fit or not. 

However, they only exchanged glances and didn't dare to ask anything. She shut Mr. Xin's mouth who was their senior and has more shares than them. What can they say to her? The girl had to remind them that any business works on goodwill, anything can be rebuilt but once the trust is broken, even after uncountable efforts, the crack will still be there, be it in a relationship or business. 

The people in the industry were aware of Yang Jian's deeds but since the company was doing well, they avoided that and focused on the profit only. It was only beneficial that he broke off the business relations and denied investment. 

It only helped them and they managed to avoid not getting involved in that 'dirty' scandal. 

-

" Since no one has any questions, I hope no one will raise any objections later. Also, even if you will, I don't care. The shares that I am giving Xu Nuan are from my share, since I own them, it's up to me who to give shares or not." Grandfather Gu announced indifferently making everyone's lips twitch in dissatisfaction. 

--

After the meeting was dismissed, everyone left the conference hall, leaving the Gu family alone. 

Xu Nuan pursed her lips as the air in the room was getting heavy. She glanced at Xinrgen who had her head held down and eyes closed, looking pale. 

Since her eyes were closed, she couldn't tell what's going on in her head. But she was sure it must not be something good. 

" Gra...Grandfather Gu, what's happening? Was that all true? Xu Nuan is your Granddaughter, Gu Nuan?" Yuhan turned to Grandfather Gu in disbelief. 

How can they not tell them about this truth? Didn't they treat him as family, how can they lie to them?

Grandfather Gu pursed his lips and said, " Yuhan, I called you here because of this reason. Since you're going to be a part of our family, you should be aware of this truth. Although no one was at fault in all of this, I hope you will think about this and your engagement with Xingren."

" I want you to see you as my Grandson-in-law, but I don't want to force this relationship on you. I hope you can be with Xingren because of love only." He said while leaving him to decide about this unofficial engagement. 

Although he hasn't taken this seriously before since it was a childish promise but seeing Gu Zhang and Lin Ran's reaction, he has no choice but to accept this forced relationship. However, he wanted to give him a chance once to decide if he really wants to go along with this relationship or not. 

There is no reason to have them married because of the so-called promise. 

Yuhan pursed his lips, speechless. It was his first time that someone asked his opinion over the matter of his marriage. Till now, he was being only told, not asked. 

" Father, What are you doing? Are you trying to ruin Xingren's life? You revealed this truth in front of everyone like this and now trying to make Yuhan give up on this engagement?" Gu Zhang shouted at the old man. 

Grandfather Gu looked at him calmly and responded, " I am not trying to make him give up on this relationship but think about it. It's for Xingren's future only. I don't want her to be in a loveless marriage."

" Hah!! If you had cared for her, you wouldn't have announced the news like this. You have changed father." He snapped at him and left the room after giving Xu Nuan a disgusted look. 

Grandfather Gu turned to Xingren and said in a low voice, " Xin Xin…."

Xingren opened her glistening eyes and bowed to him without looking into his eyes and left the room. 

Xu Nuan was speechless seeing her vulnerable side for once. She indeed felt bad for her at that moment. If she had not attempted all those evil deeds, Xingren would have deserved her pity. 

After all, she was suffering as much as Xu Nuan. Her life changed at once when she wasn't at fault. But whenever she thinks about the way she treated Xu Nuan all those years and how she pushed her on the road and leaving her lying on the road, unconscious, covered in the blood makes her feel disgusted. 

She deserves pity but she lost her chance where people will feel bad for her. She is guilty of not realizing her wrong deeds more than doing the deeds.
