Chapter 3: Reaching a Partnership
Chapter 3
An Nuan convinced her parents.
Although they still had doubts.
But they couldn't resist her firm decision and unconditionally supported her in resolving the matter of her annulment with Gu Yan Sheng.
An Nuan returned to her room and lay on her long-lost large bed.
She had never yearned for this bed so much before, never imagined that changing a bed would bring such a tragedy to her.
Her eyes flickered as she took out the super black card in her hand.
Ye Jing Huai...
Who exactly is this man?!
Is it the right choice to collaborate with him?
In the previous life, she had assisted Gu Yan Sheng in breaking free from the shackles of a wealthy family and embarking on the path of a prestigious family. The only stumbling block on this path, the man whom everyone looked down upon, Ye Jing Huai, unexpectedly proved to be stubborn and unyielding.
And on the eve of her wedding, the sudden phone call she received, was it just a prank or...it's hard for her to speculate now.
But if she wanted to completely dismantle the Gu family, she needed an ally.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and called the largest luxury department store in Qingcheng.
"Hello, Miss An," the voice on the other end was extremely respectful.
"Can I state the card number and make a direct payment?"
"May I ask if Miss An has our co-branded credit card?" they asked.
"I don't know."
"Miss An, could you please tell me your number? I will check for you."
An Nuan recited the number according to the card.
After verifying it, the voice on the other end became even more respectful. "Miss An, this card is our super VIP card, which can be used freely in our department store without any spending limit. If you want to purchase any goods, we can provide you with video shopping and personally deliver them to your mansion."
An Nuan looked at the card in her hand. Does it have such great privileges?
She had actually heard that many wealthy young masters would create these seemingly prestigious super cards to show off their financial power, but she had never heard of one with no spending limit, especially in such a super luxury department store where one could truly spend a fortune!
An Nuan didn't think too much about it. She said, "There's no need for video shopping. According to my list, buy the items and deliver them to my house. The address is Nanlingwan Villa Area..."
After a while, she finished giving instructions.
An Nuan hung up the phone and went to sleep.
She felt that it was necessary to get some rest and adjust her mood.
After all, with such a earth-shattering rebirth, she also needed time...to accept it.
...
Qingnong Mountain.
A place far from the hustle and bustle of the city, originally a holy place of Buddhism. In another part of the mountain, there was a privately developed super clubhouse, extravagantly luxurious and not a place that anyone with money could enter.
Ye Jing Huai was a frequent visitor here.
He sat in a private room on the edge of a cliff, with a floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, offering a panoramic view of the picturesque mountains and clear waters.
He casually smoked a cigarette.
Behind him, a few friends were playing pool, accompanied by a group of women, mixed with various...obscene scenes.
"Ah Huai, your phone has been ringing." Qin Jiang, the man sitting next to him, reminded.
Ye Jing Huai turned his head to take a glance.
"Which woman did you send away this time?" Qin Jiang noticed a string of expense records.
Looks like this time he's bleeding quite a lot.
Ye Jing Huai picked up his phone and casually flipped through it.
The notifications of expenses kept pouring in without end.
"You're too generous with women." Qin Jiang felt a pang of pain when he heard the notification sound, "The key is that you haven't even... you know..."
"It's necessary to be generous with my wife." Ye Jing Huai suddenly spoke up.
Qin Jiang was stunned for two seconds, "What did you say?"
"I said I'm getting married." Ye Jing Huai extinguished his cigarette butt, just a casual gesture, but combined with his devilish smile, it was incredibly handsome.
Qin Jiang was truly bewitched by this guy for two seconds. The next second, he reacted and exploded, "What the hell did you just say?"
Ye Jing Huai picked up his discarded suit jacket, "Prepare the betrothal gifts."
And then he left.
Just as he reached the doorway.
"Third Young Master Ye..." a coquettish woman blocked his way.
Ye Jing Huai glanced at her.
The next second, "Get lost!"
The woman was startled.
Wasn't it said that Third Young Master Ye was accepting all women?
She couldn't believe it as she looked at Ye Jing Huai. Under his cold gaze, she quickly walked away.
There was a feeling.
A feeling that she would be killed by him.
Indeed, rumors can't be trusted.
Today was her first time following these young masters to this gathering place. She thought she could seize the opportunity to get close to Third Young Master Ye... It turns out that a man who looks so handsome and is so rich at home is not so easily approached.
...
In her dream.
An Nuan was awakened by a ringing phone.
With a bit of morning grumpiness, she looked at the caller ID, which was killing her.
Because of her remarkable intelligence, even without saving the number, she knew it was Ye Jing Huai. She suppressed her temper and answered, "Hello."
"If I remember correctly, I only gave Miss An medical expenses." Ye Jing Huai had a terrible tone, but his voice was irresistible.
An Nuan suddenly remembered that she had just splurged quite a sum of money on this gentleman, with the aim of making him contact her proactively.
She chuckled lightly and said, "I remember telling Third Young Master Ye that it was the betrothal gifts."
"So Miss An doesn't hesitate to spend thirty million on me."
"..." Is it that much?
She was just randomly buying things.
She said, "I won't let you waste that thirty million."
"What do you mean?"
"You help me defeat the Gu family, and I'll help you remove the stumbling block on your path to the aristocratic family." An Nuan spoke seriously.
There was an obvious silence on the other end for a few seconds.
Ye Jing Huai's expression slightly changed.
Which direction should he develop in, and where should he go? How could she know?!
An Nuan could guess what he was thinking and said straightforwardly, "I understand you better than you think."
"In that case, I'm at a disadvantage," Ye Jing Huai said coldly.
"No, you should be grateful that I chose to help you instead of..." An Nuan said, "helping Gu Yan Sheng."
In the previous life.
Although Ye Jing Huai was always at odds with Gu Yan Sheng and couldn't seem to defeat him no matter what, likewise, Gu Yan Sheng was a formidable competitor to Ye Jing Huai.
The two of them were locked in a battle.
By the end, even when she died, she didn't know who won between them.
Perhaps it was Gu Yan Sheng, after all, he was more despicable.
After she died, he used the wealth of the An family to marry into an aristocratic family.
An Nuan had to exercise great self-control in order to temporarily swallow the cruel hurts she had once suffered.
"Miss An, weren't you deeply in love with Young Master Gu, all lovey-dovey? And now suddenly you want to cooperate with me? I can't believe it," he said bluntly.
"On the day of my wedding, if you come, I'll show you my sincerity," An Nuan said, knowing that words alone wouldn't be enough.
As adults, some things require practical actions to prove them.
"Okay," Ye Jing Huai agreed without hesitation.
Perhaps it was because she knew so much.
Perhaps working with her was beneficial and harmless.
In any case, An Nuan was surprised by how readily he agreed.
But she wasn't a woman who liked to show her emotions, whether extreme joy or extreme sadness. She could remain calm in the face of honor or disgrace. Even when tormented to death by Gu Yan Sheng, she remained dignified. This was her way of self-protection and a display of her good upbringing.
She said, "It's a deal!"
