My Evil Genius Wife

The lights in the hall dimmed, as everyone's attention moved to the stage, where a video was playing on the large screen to reminisce the achievements of the Gu Corporations.

Xu Nuan was sitting at a table with Grandfather and Grandmother Gu, Lin Ran, Gu Zhang, and Xingren. Yuhan's family was sitting at the table behind them. 

As everyone was watching the video, Xu Nuan felt someone placing a hand on her shoulder which startled her. She almost squealed aloud but covered her mouth when she saw the man's face who was wearing a formal suit, covering his belly pouch with its layers. He smirked at her with a greasy smile and took a seat on the empty chair beside her.

" Are you not cold? You're wearing such a revealing dress." He said while looking at her legs that were revealed because of the side-slit on the dresses. She had her legs crossed on one other which surprised him that she was wearing clothes opposite to what he had imagined. 

Xingren has told him that she is a gentle-quiet girl and has a shy personality. He was expecting her to wear a conservative dress but she was wearing a bold-revealing dress at a formal banquet like this. 

Xu Nuan scoffed seeing the man's face as she recognized him without him introducing himself. He is the CEO of YJ Corporations, Yang Jian. After knowing that Xingren was about to launch her brand with the CEO of YJ corporations, she did some research and found out about his lousy character and dirty deeds. 

She would have found more dirt on him if she had used her skills to dig deeper but she was not interested in someone as insignificant as him. 

She was wondering why there was an empty chair beside her and now she knows when she saw a smirk on Xingren's face. 

Xu Nuan didn't reply to the man's rude comment and continued staring at the screen on the stage which caused his expressions to darken at being ignored completely. 

Grandfather Gu was similarly surprised as Xu Nuan seeing the man joining them on the host table. Before he could ask anything, he heard Gu Zhang's voice, " Mr. Yang, you haven't met Xu Nuan yet, right? Just like Xingren, she is also my daughter."

" However, she is not as polite as Xingren. I apologize on her behalf for being rude to you." 

Xu Nuan couldn't help but scoff upon hearing his words. So they included him in this game as well? Nice. 

Yang Jian glances at Xu Nuan and shakes his head, " It's okay. I like her fierce personality. Girls need to have that attitude which can make men crazy." He commented which made Grandfather Gu's face darken. 

How can a man like him comment about his granddaughter like that? 

" Mr. Yang, aren't your words rude? You're talking about my granddaughter here." He said while looking at him with a hostile gaze. 

Xingren pursed her lips as she was bothered by his attitude. Yang Jian is going to be her biggest investor, how can he talk to him like this? It's the same as humiliating her. 

" Grandfather, Mr. Yang was just complimenting sister. Even though she was rude to him, he didn't mind and tried to pass it away with a joke. There is no need to be serious about it." she said with a hesitant smile while trying to hide her discomfort. 

Grandfather Gu saw Xingren defending Yang Jian which elevated his temper even more. He knows about Yang Jian very well and how he treats his female staff and about his divorce case which was quite popular as gossip among the business community. 

" Xingren, you're young so you might not know the meaning behind his words. So if you can't help your sister, don't pull her down as well." His comment made Xingren's expressions turn solemn. 

Although they were chatting in a low voice, and other people cannot hear what's happening at their table due to the noise on the stage. However, she was embarrassed that she was told off in front of Yang Jian. How can he do that? He is her grandfather, he has always pampered her and has yielded to her demands, then why?

" Grandfather, I was just-

" Old man, what are you doing? How can you make a scene in front of our guest today?" Grandmother Gu interrupted seeing Xingren's face which had turned pale due to Grandfather Gu's attitude. 

" Also, I was the one who invited Mr. Yang to our table to join us. I wanted to introduce him to our Xu Nuan, she is getting old. It's time that we should marry her off. It's for her future only." She tried to calm him down but her words worked him up even more. 

" What? Marry her off? Zou Ling, aren't you crazy?" Grandfather ignored the fact that Yang Jian was sitting at their table, listening to your argument, and snapped at his wife. 

" She is only 21, how can you even think about it. Also, what were you thinking before trying to arrange this meeting?" 

" What? Doesn't Xingren have a fiance' as well? She is young too, but you never said anything in her case. When it is to her, you're acting as if I am pushing her off the cliff. She is also my granddaughter as well. I care for her, that's why I searched a fine man for her." she was speechless seeing the dark reaction of the old man. 

Grandfather Gu was speechless seeing the way she was explaining herself, covering up the fact that she was trying to fix Xu Nuan with someone who is twice the age as her. 

" Yuhan is young, capable and we have known him well since he was young. Also, Xingren likes him. However, it's different for Xu Nuan. How can you decide something like this without my permission?" He asked coldly, which surprised her. 

" Old Gu, you're being too much. She is my granddaughter as well, I have every right to decide what is good for her and not. In Yang Mansion, she will be treated as a Mistress of the house and the Madam of Yang Corporations, what can be better than this?" 

" Yes, Grandfather. Also, we aren't forcing this meeting on Sister Xu Nuan. We have asked her to bring her boyfriend to the party if she has any, however, she came alone. She works in an industry which is not safe for girls and insecure, it would be better for her to settle with someone who can also help in her work." Xingren added while trying to calm the old man. 

Yang Jian was sitting there and even though he wasn't saying anything, his expressions were turning dark with every moment. 

" Xingren, when the adults are talking, don't interrupt in between. I don't like this kind of attitude." The old man snapped at Xingren who was taken aback at his cold-straightforward attitude. 

" Old Gu, why are you getting angry at her? She was only doing this for this brat's sake." Grandmother Gu tried to calm him down but he wasn't listening to them at all. 

Grandfather Gu gritted his teeth and before he could say anything, he heard Yang Jian say, " If Grandfather Gu hates me that much, why don't we ask the person in question directly? Isn't the person I am going to marry Ms. Xu? Shouldn't she say something about this situation?" he turned to Xu Nuan who was casually enjoying the arguments going on the table. It would have been a perfect drama to be watched with popcorn and a can of beer. 

She was startled to be called out as she was dazed in listening to their two-faced arguments and Grandfather Gu fighting with them all, what a satisfactory view. 

She glanced at the man who was sitting beside her, with his body leaning closer to her, almost touching her arm. She rolled eyes at him as she couldn't even manage to bear the smell of his perfume that he was wearing. It seems as if he had poured the whole bottle of it on himself without thinking about it. 

" Well, I don't know who has given you a wrong impression of me, but I don't even know you well, leave alone thinking of marrying a guy like you who has not only cheated on his wife but has also se*ually harassed many of his female employees and have gotten away from the cases without receiving the punishment for it." she shrugged her shoulders casually after saying her words, leaving him dumbfounded.

Yang Jian who was smiling at her all this while, staring at her bare shoulders that were revealing skin because of her off-shoulder dress was shocked when she said about his divorced and the cases pending in the court. 

Many people know about it but no one dared to talk about it in front of him. How dare a cheap bi*ch like her dared to talk about something like this on his face?
