My Evil Genius Wife

After telling Gu Xingren off, Xu Nuan turned to Zhu Ai and stared at her lazily. " Zhu Ai, call your fiance right now. Don't you want to resolve this misunderstanding?" She urged her to call Han Zihao without using his name.

Zhu Ai clutched her phone in her hand and said hesitantly, " I...I forgive you. Since you're Xingren's sister. I don't want to stretch this issue further. I don't want to ruin this party. After all, it's Grandfather and Grandmother Gu's big day. Let's stop here." She tried to act like a magnanimous person and intended to leave the party when she was stopped by a low deep voice.

" You don't need to worry about us. Go ahead and call your fiance. If Xu Nuan has done something wrong, then she should be punished. But we can't end this conversation like this since we have already started it. We need to clear this messy situation." Grandfather Gu said while looking at her with indifference. He glanced at Xu Nuan and smiled.

" Old Gu, what are you talking about? If we dig this matter deeper, it will be our family who is going to be humiliated in the end. After all, this granddaughter of yours has no manners and control over her actions." Grandmother Gu held onto the old man's arm who shrugged it away.

" I know what I am doing. At least I know this granddaughter of mine better than you." He commented and ignored her upset mumbling.

Xu Nuan was surprised seeing that he spoke up for her. Her lips curled up in a smile as she flipped her hair back and turned to Zhu Ai and said, " Ms. Zhu, do you even have a number of your fiance? Should I give you the number?" 

Zhu Ai gritted her teeth and glared at her. She looked around and noticed that the party had stopped long ago and now everyone was staring at their drama.

She took a deep breath because there are many important guests from the elite society and even she knows some of them. They were all waiting for her to sort this situation to clear her name.

After all, now it has become a matter of pride. Along with Zhu Ai's reputation, they have attached their pride as well. They want her to crumble this little girl who dared to go against their so-called power.

After some moments, she took a deep breath and said, " I am doing it. You just wait. If I proved that you are wrong then don't hide away from me. I am not going to spare you."

Xu Nuan looked around and scoffed seeing everyone staring at Zhu Ai expectantly. 

" Just call." She shrugged her shoulders and smiled smugly.

Zhu Ai dialed Feng Sheng's number since it was the only number she had. Han Zihao's mother gave her only this number. Even she doesn't have his personal number.

" Hello", her expressions lit up when she heard Feng Sheng's voice from the other side. She could hear some noises from the other side. Seems like he was at a party but it was not too loud, so she could hear his voice clearly.

" Feng Sheng, is Han Zihao there? What? He is in a meeting? It's okay. It's nothing much, I will…." Zhu Ai started speaking without letting him say anything. Feng Sheng, on the other hand, was confused when she started speaking without letting him respond.

When did he say that Mr. Han is busy? I mean, he was going to say that but he hasn't done that, at least yet.

Everyone at the party was shocked when they heard Han Zihao's name. 

.

" What? Han Zihao? Isn't that the President of Han Corporations? He is Zhu Ai's fiance?"

" This Xu Nuan, she tried to seduce Han Zihao? She is such a gold digger."

" How can she be so cheap?"

" They wasted a busy man's time. Of course, he is in a meeting. People like him, how can they have spare time to deal with such pests?" 

People started whispering, which were not low enough to call them a whisper.

Gu Xingren's expressions darkened when she heard this. Han Zihao? She remembered the time when she saw him at the hospital for the first time. She pursed her lips when she remembered the way, he treated Xu Nuan that day. 

She suddenly started to feel uncomfortable about this whole situation. However, since Zhu Ai has called him, they must be close right? Otherwise, why would she make such a big fuss of it?

Zhu Ai was about to hang up the call and was happy that everything went smoothly, when Xu Nuan who was standing on the other side of the table silently, extended her hand and snatched her phone from her hand.

Zhu Ai was shocked when she snatched her phone, " What are you doing? How can you...my phone…" her complexion turned pale when she put the phone on the speaker.

Xu Nuan smirked seeing Zhu Ai's expressions as she put it on speaker. Her expressions became paler when Feng Sheng started speaking, " Ms. Zhu, what are you saying? When did I say that he is in a meeting? He is here to attend a business party. However, you can't talk to him right now. He is kinda busy. I suggest you talk to Ms. Li at the office to set an appointment with him." 

He gave her an excuse to call him after making an appointment. He was just trying to shrug her off just like Han Zihao's instructions but everyone was shocked hearing this.

' Appointment to meet one's own fiance? That's the worst.' People were exclaiming in shock and horror. Some felt bad for Zhu Ai that she was stuck in such a relationship.

However, Zhu Ai was trying her best to avoid their words. She was just glad that he didn't say anything much. This way, she can still tell them that Han Zihao is his fiance.

" Now give me my…." She tried to take her phone back, but Xu Nuan pulled it away from her reach. She smirked and said, " Mr. Secretary, are you guys at the business party that he talked about in the morning?" she asked as she remembered that Han Zihao had talked about the party in the morning.

Feng Sheng who was irritated by the fact that Zhu Ai called him when he was having his delicious cakes was surprised when he heard Xu Nuan's voice.

' What is she doing with Zhu Ai?'

" Ms. Gu, is that you? Why are you speaking from Ms. Zhu's phone? Did something happen?" He asked worriedly. 

Everyone noticed his change in tone when Xu Nuan spoke. He became much more polite and submissive compared to Zhu Ai.

" Yes, you can say so. There is some misunderstanding that Zhu Ai has. I asked her to call Mr. Han but she dialed your number instead." She chuckled while staring at Zhu Ai whose complexion has turned white as a plain sheet.

" Mr. Han? You want to talk to him?" Feng Sheng asked confusingly. He looked around to spot Han Zihao among this busy boring business party.

" Yes. Can you put him on the call right now?" She asked while ignoring everyone's shocked expressions.

" Erm...but he seems to be busy talking with one of our executive investors. Should I ask him to call you later?" He said when he noticed that Han Zihao was conversing with someone.

" No. Please get him on the call right now." She said coldly which shocked him. He pursed his lips and wondered what to do. 

If he went to Han Zihao, he would not leave him for disturbing him but if he didn't, Xu Nuan would kill him later. This girl looks sweet and innocent but her temper is no joke.

Even Han Zihao can't handle her either. He took a deep breath and made a decision, " Okay. Just wait a minute." After saying this he went to inform Han Zihao about the whole situation.

He put the phone on mute so that others can't listen to anything from his side. The guests were shocked and whispered seeing how Xu Nuan ordered Han Zihao's Secretary.

Suddenly, Zhu Ai started to appear more pitiful than ever. 

Gu Xingren pursed her lips and glared at Xu Nuan from the side. This bitch...how can she become sly all of a sudden? 

The phone was on mute for a while and Xu Nuan stared at Zhu Ai with her smug expressions all along.

Yuhan who was standing beside Xu Nuan frowned seeing her hand shaking a little. Her dress and even her hair were wet from the dress, even though it has dried a bit, but it must be uncomfortable.

Moreover, the banquet was fully air-conditioned making it colder. He removed his blue blazer and put it on her from behind.

Xu Nuan was startled when something warm covered her exposed shoulders. She turned around and saw that Yuhan had put his blazer on her.

She pursed her lips and glanced at Xingren who was shooting daggers at her. She was about to return it but seeing her expressions, she suddenly wanted to keep this blazer. 

She mouthed 'thank you' to him and turned to Zhu Ai as if nothing happened. She was surprised knowing that Xingren has gotten a good guy for herself. But she was feeling bad for him. He doesn't deserve a girl like Xingren. He deserves much better but because of the so-called relationship between the family, he seems stuck.

After a long wait, a deep husky voice could be heard from the phone, " Hello."

" Mr. Han, how are you doing? " Xu Nuan asked teasingly, ignoring the presence of other people.

Gu Zhang stared at her in pure shock. He thought that Zhu Ai was lucky to be Han Zihao's fiance but it seems like his daughter has a much closer relationship to him. He was shocked wondering when his daughter became closer to such big shot people.
