In the club.
After Jiang Nuan entered, she saw Chu Yunying sitting alone on the sofa.
She was dressed beautifully, in a black dress with crescent moon cutouts on both sides of the waist. Her waist was without a trace of excess fat, exuding sexiness and beauty.
In contrast, Jiang Nuan was dressed more casually in a white shirt, wide-leg pants, and a pair of white sneakers, looking relaxed yet chic.
Their attire created a stark contrast.
Chu Yunying looked at Jiang Nuan, noting that except for necessary banquets, she always dressed casually.
"Sister, you're dressed so plainly. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing Brother Chen?" Chu Yunying asked enviously.
Jiang Nuan sat opposite her and said nonchalantly, "It's not clothes or imperfect looks that are embarrassing, but a terrible character. Miss Chu Yunying, your character is what truly embarrasses you."
Chu Yunying was momentarily speechless!
Jiang Nuan was always so sharp-tongued.
Jiang Nuan continued, "If you have something to say, say it. If you want to humiliate me, you should humiliate yourself first, as you're the one who does unspeakable things."
Chu Yunying: "..."
She smiled before speaking, "Sister, please ask Brother Chen to restructure the stock. Only you can make him do this."
Chu Yunying looked at Jiang Nuan with arrogance.
Jiang Nuan found it amusing. It seemed Chu Yunying had asked her over today specifically to discuss this matter.
"Why should I do that?"
Chu Yunying had also lost money, but she couldn't afford it, and she was acting like a lunatic.
Chu Yunying said with a smile, "Brother Chen is doing this to save you. Are you just going to watch him lose so much money? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
If that money were gone, and it were her, she would never let Brother Chen do such a thing.
To expose Lu Qiaoyi, Brother Chen had lost hundreds of millions.
Jiang Nuan also replied with a smile, "He is willing to lose money for me, so why should my conscience hurt? Shouldn't the ones whose consciences should hurt be those who are always plotting against him?"
This Chu Yunying was truly out of her mind.
And arrogant!
"You..." Chu Yunying bit her lip.
Ye Anran was forcing her to repay the money, calling her every day. She was going crazy.
"Sister, many shareholders have gone bankrupt because of the Mushi stock's decline. Aren't you kind-hearted? Why don't you save them? Or is your kindness all a pretense? You don't care about others' lives for your own sake?" Chu Yunying's tone was aggressive.
She desperately needed money now. Although Hong Bin gave her money, it couldn't satisfy her spending habits. She liked designer brands and various limited-edition bags. In short, she just wanted to live a rich person's life.
In her prime youth, she wanted to enjoy the best treatment and not let herself down.
Jiang Nuan glanced at her entire outfit, which probably cost close to a million.
If she used it sparingly, she would be much better off than ordinary people.
She slowly said, "Investments require caution. If they lose money, should I foot the bill?"
"Jiang Nuan, do you know how hard Brother Chen works to earn money? As his wife, can't you consider him more?" Seeing that Jiang Nuan was unresponsive, she became a little anxious.
She had no other recourse. She couldn't even see Brother Chen, and even if she did, she might not be able to speak to him.
Jiang Nuan slowly stood up and warned her, "If it's for something like this again, don't come to me. I don't have time to play these boring and childish games with you."
"Jiang Nuan, how can it be a game? I also invested. I've lost a lot of money now. As long as Brother Chen says the word, we can all survive." Chu Yunying also stood up, looking urgently at Jiang Nuan, who was about to leave.
Jiang Nuan frowned, "I'm sorry, I don't want him to work too hard. Regarding the stock matter, let's leave it at that. What you want will not happen."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan left.
Chu Yunying: "!!"
"Wait, Jiang Nuan, settle the bill."
Jiang Nuan turned around and looked at her, "I didn't eat anything you ordered, so why should I pay the bill?"
Chu Yunying: "..." You're really stingy!
Jiang Nuan opened the door and walked out. Chu Yunying trembled with anger.
"Bang..." She swept everything on the table onto the floor, and the beautiful pastries were instantly scattered everywhere.
She cried with a mournful face, angry at Jiang Nuan's heartlessness. She only hated herself for not being ruthless enough to have killed her daughter those few times.
"Jiang Nuan, let's see how long you can be arrogant!" A thick, venomous glint appeared in Chu Yunying's eyes.
Jiang Nuan left the club and went to the alley behind the first floor. She saw Yan Qi in the car. After greeting Qi Yan, she drove to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.
She wanted to go back early to cook and wait for Mu Jiuchen to return.
When Jiang Nuan arrived at the supermarket, she sent a message to Yan Qi.
[Qi Qi, Chu Yunying is in a bad mood today. Don't get too close. She uses hypnosis, so be careful.]
Yan Qi: [Okay, Sister, don't worry about me.]
Seeing Yan Qi's reply, Jiang Nuan felt relieved and began to shop.
She bought two lobsters, three orchid crabs, a pound of shrimp, and some small vegetables. After buying them, she went to the self-checkout counter to pay.
Habitually, she glanced behind her. There was no one there.
Only a few elderly men were studying the self-checkout machines.
Technology was developing rapidly, and many places were self-service, which was very convenient.
Jiang Nuan put her groceries into bags and pushed her shopping cart out.
After walking a few steps, she carried her bags and took the elevator directly to the parking lot.
When she reached her car, she put her groceries away and closed the car door. Then, a man in black blocked her path.
Jiang Nuan looked up and froze for a moment when she saw him.
Jiang Nuan smelled a faint scent of disinfectant on him. He was still completely covered, revealing only his eyes.
She quickly took a step back, assuming a defensive posture.
"You're actually fine?" His voice was also altered, hoarse and deep.
He had been observing her for several days. She had fallen into a coma the next day and woke up after three days and three nights. The poison should have taken effect by then. She shouldn't be able to move around like a normal person.
Jiang Nuan smiled confidently, looking herself up and down, her voice laced with amusement, "Do I look like I'm not okay?"
A deep surprise flickered in the man's eyes. "How can you be fine?" That was the venom he had personally developed. How could she be unaffected?
It must be because there was a strange detoxification method within her body, otherwise, she wouldn't be fine.
Jiang Nuan sneered. Her clear eyes were exceptionally pure and beautiful, yet filled with chilling intent. "I'm fine, but you're going to be in trouble. You like to experiment, don't you? Then, try to undo the poison I've developed."
Jiang Nuan took out the prepared silver needles from her bag. Seeing the man retreat, her fingertips sent the silver needles towards his chest with lightning speed.
The man gasped and quickly retreated, but Jiang Nuan's needles were faster.
*Chhh...*
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
The man retreated several more steps rapidly, but he still couldn't dodge. He seemed to hear the sound of his own skin being pierced, and his feet felt as heavy as lead, rooted to the spot and unable to move.
