My Evil Genius Wife

Upon hearing Han Zihao's words, Gu Zhang couldn't keep his expressions straight. A deep frown appeared on his forehead as he stared at him with complicated expressions. 

The last time, at the Gu Corporations Anniversary Banquet, Han Zihao had introduced himself to everyone as Xu Nuan's boyfriend. At that time, they all assumed that he was helping her out because she got into an accident with his car and he was doing this to repay her for what he owes her. 

However, the way he said those words and called Xu Nuan his family with confidence, he started to feel that their relationship is more than what they had assumed. Even though, no matter whatever relationship they have, he can't let him interfere in their familial matters. 

He cleared his throat and said, " Mr. Han, I can see that you're worried about Xu Nuan. However, I don't think I can allow a stranger to speak in our family matters."

" I don't know what relationship you both have, but it will not be polite for you to meddle in our family problems. I hope you will understand my position and won't mind my direct words." 

Han Zihao raised his brows at him and smirked. He cleared his throat before saying, " Mr. Gu, I think you're misunderstanding me. I am not trying to interfere in your family matters. I am here to speak on matters related to XU NUAN, because...she is my FAMILY." he said while enunciating the word 'family'. 

His words caused an awkward silence in the room. The President of Han Corporations is saying such words for Xu Nuan, that was nothing less than a surprise. 

Grandfather Gu, who was watching from the side, a smile popped on his lips. At least there is someone to stand by Xu Nuan's side and is ready to go against everyone for her. 

Han Zihao didn't mind everyone's shocked expressions and glanced at Xingren, who was trembling in anger and fear before continuing, " Mr. Gu, from what I can see, you're not punishing your daughter enough. The person who made two murder attempts on her sister and tried to sell her off to an old conglomerate to build up her business and even spread rumors against her in the college, serious enough to get her rusticated and have her reputation smudged, you're letting her off too easily."

" Do you think that all of this can be resolved just by you sending her abroad for studies?"

" It's not a punishment. You're simply running away from addressing the real problem. This time the whole college heard about your daughter's actions, do you think this can be resolved by running from the problem? Hmm?"

Gu Zhang's complexion turned pale upon hearing his words. His reputation and Gu family's name have been smudged already and it's just a matter of time when this issue will become a hot topic for every business or high-class gathering since the students of Xin Lin belongs to the high-class elite society. 

" Dad…." He glanced at Xingren, who was looking at him with her teary eyes and looked vulnerable in this weak state. 

If this news was spread among society, no one will marry Xingren and her life will be ruined badly. 

He gritted his teeth, "What do you want me to do then? You want me to send her to jail?"

" If it was you in my position, what would you have done? Would you have sent your child to the police? Huh? It's easier said than done, Mr. Han."

" Moreover, she is so young. Everyone makes mistakes. Going to jail is not the solution to every problem. Everyone deserves a chance." He made this decision after much thought. Gu Xingren is still recognized as a Gu, this will not only ruin her reputation but their family's too. 

If this matter can be buried by staying quiet, then why not?

Han Zihao chuckled at his words, " Mr. Gu, first of all, don't compare yourself to me. My children are not gonna be like her, because I won't make cowardly choices like you."

" Murder attempt is not a mistake after all. Don't take someone's life so lightly."

He watched Gu Zhang's complexion turn crimson in embarrassment and continued, " Also, about being her young, I think you're forgetting that Xu Nuan is of the same age as her. She is 21 years old too and yet you're expecting her to be mature and forgiving enough to pass Xingren's criminal attempts as mistakes."

"Xu Nuan, who is your 'real' daughter, was forced to get surgery because of the car accident. The second time, she was almost smashed by a truck. It was because she was lucky, not because your daughter's actions were small enough to be called a mistake." 

-

Xingren frowned and said in a trembling voice, " Mr. Han, all these accusations are wrong. I didn't do anything. I wasn't trying to kill her, I really wasn't-

Lin Ran saw Han Zihao ignoring Xingren and pursed her lips tightly, " Mr. Han, you're our guest. I don't want to be rude to you. But...don't you think you're being too nosy? So what if you're rich and powerful? Does that give you authority to interfere in other's family matters?"

Han Zihao shook his head and rather than arguing with them furthermore, he pulled out his phone from his pants pocket and dialed a number. 

" If everything is ready then you can come now." As said this, he hung up the call. 

Lin Ran clenched her fist as she panicked, " Who are you calling? Are you calling thugs on us? How can you be-"

Gu Zhang frowned and held Lin Ran's hand and shook his head, signaling her to not argue with him. Although he wasn't sure what he was planning, he can see that this time Han Zihao is not planning to ignore this matter. 

But why is he reacting so much? It's not like he and Xu Nuan are married. 

-

A few minutes later, a man in a formal suit who was wearing round-golden framed glasses walked in while holding a black briefcase. 

Gu Zhang frowned as he had seen this man before. This man has introduced himself as Han Zihao's secretary at the hospital when Xu Nuan got into an accident with Han Zihao's car and they came to compensate for the accident. 

But why is he here?

However, his pupils widened in shock when he saw the person walking behind Feng Sheng. The young man, who accompanied Feng Sheng, was wearing a bright, yellow-colored blazer and was dressed in a semi-formal style. His brown hair complimented his bright choice of color and personality as he walked in while holding a brown briefcase as well. 

He recognizes this man. He is the youngest and the most successful lawyer in the country and was the founder of CK Lawfirm. The self-established man has beaten many other experienced lawyers in the country and has proved his worth with his achievements and success. 

He knows him because he had tried to reach out to him a few times as he wanted him to take a few cases related to the business but he denied his request outrightly. 

But….what is he doing here and that too with Han Zihao's secretary?

-

Feng Sheng glanced at Han Zihao before walking to Gu Zhang and handed him his business card, " Mr. Gu, Let me introduce myself to you again. I am Mr. Han's secretary and this is my card."

He fixed his glasses before he continued, " I am sure you must be curious about the reason for my visit. Before telling you the reason for my visit, let me introduce you to Cai Kun. He is the founder of the CK law firm. I am sure you must have heard about it." 

Gu Zhang nodded in a daze and shook hands with Cai Kun. He still couldn't understand what's happening. 

Cai Kun smiled at him and turned to his side before looking at Xingren. He turned to Gu Zhang again and passed him a brown paper envelope that had a set of documents in it. 

" Mr. Gu, we can go over the formalities later, let me tell you the reason for my visit. After gathering the necessary evidence, we have officially made a complaint against Ms. Xingren for attempting to harm Ms. Xu, physically and mentally."

" In this complaint, her past attempts to harm Ms. Xu and the college forum scandal, both of them have been taken into account and have been included in it. The police will soon contact you for further investigation, till then, she can't leave this country." he said in a matter of factly tone. 

Xingren's face turned pale upon hearing his words. Complaint? Police?

She ran to Gu Zhang and held onto his hand, " Dad, what are they saying? Police? I don't want to go to jail. Dad, everyone will laugh at me. This will end my reputation. Please do something." She cried out loud. 

The thought of being investigated by the police horrified her. It will ruin her reputation for good. 

Gu Zhang patted her hand and said to Han Zihao, " Mr. Han, what nonsense is this? Who are you to file a complaint against Xingren? This matter has nothing to do with you."

Han Zihao smirked and said, " But it has to do with Xu Nuan. Since she won't take any action against your bully daughter, someone has to do the deed." He said nonchalantly. 

" Since my side has been cleared, you must have understood that I have no intention to take this matter lightly. You can do your best to protect your family's reputation, I will protect what is important to me."

Before leaving, he glanced at Grandfather Gu, who looked shocked but didn't say anything even for once. He always hesitated to take this action, but since Han Zihao has done this, he has no intention to interfere in it.
