After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 237

The last time will not be mentioned.

The last time I held my breath, it was because I felt her brother would eventually take An Nuan back home.

As long as she entered the Gu family gate, the grievances she had suffered would surely be paid back with interest.

Now.

An Nuan and her brother are already in this kind of relationship, and in the future there is no telling if it will still be this kind of relationship. The grievances she suffers now, she will just suffer.

"If you're not willing then forget it," An Nuan did not force it, only muttering to herself, "I wonder which news outlet would be best to release this at? Ai Yue Net? Gossip Media? Or..."

"Xuanxuan!" Gu Yan Sheng's tone was severe, "Hurry up and apologize for your inappropriate words!"

"Brother!" Gu Yanxuan's eyes were red.

"After all these years of the Gu family's upbringing, was it all for nothing?" Gu Yan Sheng scolded self-righteously. "Young lady from a good family, saying such shameful, indecent things!"

Tears came to Gu Yanxuan's eyes.

It wasn't that she felt her brother didn't love her anymore. What she couldn't accept was why her brother had to be threatened by An Nuan all the time now.

In her mind, her brother was omnipotent, invincible in battle.

How come recently, he was suppressed by An Nuan at every turn?

"Hurry up and apologize to An Nuan." Gu Yan Sheng's gaze was very firm.

There was absolutely no room for compromise.

Gu Yanxuan gritted her teeth.

In the end, still unwillingly, she said, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry to who?" An Nuan asked.

"Sorry, An Nuan." Gu Yanxuan answered resentfully.

"So you admit that what you just said was aimed at me?" An Nuan raised her brow.

Staring at An Nuan, Gu Yanxuan reluctantly denied it, "It wasn't."

If she admitted it, it would be even harder to end this.

"Since it wasn't, then you should apologize to everyone." An Nuan said plainly.

Gu Yanxuan was truly enduring to the limit.

Apologizing to An Nuan was one thing.

After all An Nuan was also one of the four great families, ranked ahead of their Gu family.

But at this table, there were also several who weren't from the four great families, merely distant relatives of the Xia family. As someone of her noble status, she still had to apologize to them too?!

"It seems you still don't mean it." An Nuan said lightly.

At that moment it seemed deliberate, as she picked up her phone again.

Clearly hinting at something.

"I'm sorry everyone." Gu Yanxuan forced herself to say.

"Sorry everyone what?" An Nuan raised her brow.

Gu Yanxuan was nearly driven to tears by An Nuan.

"Don't know?" An Nuan seemed very kind as she reminded, "Sorry everyone, for letting you hear such unseemly words, offending everyone's ears."

Gu Yanxuan stared fixedly at An Nuan.

"Can't say it?" An Nuan asked her.

She was clearly using a very mild tone.

Yet it gave a powerful sense of oppression.

With red-rimmed eyes, Gu Yanxuan said, "I'm sorry everyone. I spoke inappropriately and offended everyone, I'm sorry."

The distinguished young miss of the eminent Gu family had never imagined there would be a day so humiliating as this!

An Nuan smiled.

She said, "Gu Yanxuan, since we're acquainted, I didn't want to embarrass you today. I mainly wanted to teach you a lesson. Now we're in front of everyone, so this is just some petty squabbling. But in the future if your brother joins the prominent families and you keep this up, offending their royalty and nobles...have you thought of the consequences?"

Gu Yanxuan glared fiercely at An Nuan.

Looking at this woman, actually making herself out to be the good guy.

Yet right now she couldn't retort.

She said, "I know my mistake. It won't happen again in the future."

"That's good then." An Nuan nodded, with the look of being very gratified.

It sounded extremely grating to Gu Yanxuan's ears.

"Can you delete the recording then?" Gu Yanxuan asked.

"I can." An Nuan nodded.

Just when Gu Yanxuan was full of anticipation.

An Nuan then said, "But not now."

Gu Yanxuan was so angry she almost wanted to rush over and fight An Nuan.

Her body was firmly restrained by Gu Yan Sheng.

"Just now I didn't promise that after you apologized I would delete the recording. I only agreed we've reconciled."

"An Nuan, don't..."

Before Gu Yanxuan could finish speaking.

She was muffled by Gu Yan Sheng covering her mouth.

Tears spilled from Gu Yanxuan's eyes.

Her whole body writhed in torment.

"An Nuan, I think our grievances shouldn't involve other people." Gu Yan Sheng appeared much calmer.

This man.

Still had that ability.

Otherwise in her previous life, she wouldn't have been fooled by him around in circles.

His current words were truly giving Gu Yanxuan a way out.

The implicit meaning was that An Nuan was deliberately targeting their Gu family.

"What grievances exist between us?" Of course An Nuan wasn't going to let this slide. "If you must say there are grievances, those are only Gu Shao's one-sided wishful thinking. I'm very happy now, and even grateful for your refusal to marry."

Gu Yan Sheng's face darkened.

Just when did An Nuan start being so slick-tongued like this!

When it came to verbal sparring, he couldn't gain the slightest advantage over her at all.

He even wondered if that woman from before who would only say "okay" to him was really still An Nuan?!

"In any case, I hope this matter can end here. Xuanxuan has apologized for her inappropriate words. If you still cling to this matter and refuse to let it go, it would be somewhat petty." Gu Yan Sheng tried hard to keep himself calm.

He couldn't let this An Nuan woman provoke him.

He couldn't lose face because of her!

"I didn't say this matter wasn't over." An Nuan said, "This matter, ends here."

"Then why not delete the recording?"

"Keeping the recording is to make Gu Yanxuan remember the lesson, just in case she forgets after turning around. If my good intentions today were wasted, wouldn't it be a pity?! Rest assured, as long as Gu Yanxuan doesn't say such things again, I guarantee I won't release this. But if Gu Yanxuan remains unrepentant, next time I won't need to apologize and will directly release this recording to the public."

Gu Yan Sheng glared fiercely at An Nuan.

His fists were clenched tightly.

"I'm also doing this for the good of you Gu family. Think about it, if one day Gu Yanxuan's mouth gets you in big trouble, perhaps it won't be resolved by a simple apology. " An Nuan smiled, the picture of innocence.

Gu Yan Sheng truly hated enough to kill An Nuan at that moment.

Yet he didn't refute again.

He knew.

Refuting was useless. The initiative was in An Nuan's hands. He simply had no power to turn back heaven's will.

Gritting his teeth, he brought Gu Yanxuan directly away at that moment.

He was afraid if he stayed, he wouldn't be able to control himself and do something inappropriate.

Gu Yanxuan left unwillingly, forced away.

An Nuan just watched their retreating backs so indifferently.

Finally.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Looking at the Gu family one more glance made her feel filthy.

The corners of her lips curled into a faint smile.

Likely very satisfied with her own performance today.

Not only driving away two pests.

Having this recording could also make Gu Yanxuan grit her teeth and shut up when facing her in the future, even if furious to death!
