Xia Wanqing stepped forward, her voice choked with tears, and said, "Mr. Nangong, this matter was indeed my design."
An Nuan looked at Xia Wanqing in surprise. She truly hadn't expected Xia Wanqing to admit it so readily and straightforwardly. She had originally thought Xia Wanqing would never confess.
However, Xia Wanqing's admission was too quick, without even a hint of hesitation. It seemed there was a deeper secret hidden within.
Her eyes were filled with confusion, and even a touch of anticipation.
It appeared a good show was about to unfold.
Nangong Jin glanced at Xia Wanqing in surprise, seemingly not expecting her to say such a thing.
Her gaze fell on An Nuan, her voice filled with pain as she said, "Mr. Nangong, it's An Nuan. An Nuan has been pestering Ji Wenyun. She's even been giving Ji Wenyun gifts. I am Ji Wenyun's wife; how could I possibly allow such a thing to happen to me?"
"An Nuan already has you, yet she still covets my man. Nangong Jin, don't you have anything to say?"
Xu Ruowei looked at Xia Wanqing, surprised that she still had another move up her sleeve.
Just as Xia Wanqing was about to continue, An Nuan coldly interrupted her, saying with a sneer, "Xia Wanqing, you say I gave gifts to Ji Wenyun, is that right?"
"Then, tell me, what gifts were they? You say I've been pestering Ji Wenyun, so where is the evidence?"
"I recall you quite liked to present evidence, didn't you?"
"Then, you should be presenting your evidence now." An Nuan said with a smile.
Faced with An Nuan's smile, Xia Wanqing was directly stunned. What she wanted to do, what she wanted to say, was precisely that. However, hearing An Nuan say it out loud, something felt wrong.
But it was all planned. She naturally wouldn't deviate from her plan.
She thought, if An Nuan wanted to say it, let her say it.
Nangong Jin, however, walked to An Nuan's side, drew her into his embrace, and said with immense doting, "An Nuan, let's go."
"These people are simply a waste of time."
An Nuan, however, smiled and said, "Nangong Jin, since they want to put on a show, then let them. Coincidentally, I have nothing else to do."
Xia Wanqing looked at An Nuan's smiling face and gritted her teeth in frustration.
An Nuan, how dare she? How dare she?
To say such a thing, to say she was bored and had time, so they could just act.
She was trying to frame An Nuan, but An Nuan was now defaming her like this. How could she remain calm?
Why, why did Nangong Jin trust An Nuan so much?
Why did An Nuan have such a good life?
Clearly, An Nuan was once an ant she could trample underfoot. Clearly, back then, An Nuan couldn't refute anything she did. But now? Everything had changed. Whatever she said, whatever she did to An Nuan, and An Nuan was like a buffoon. Everything she did seemed like a joke.
But now? No matter what she did or said, it was useless. She couldn't move An Nuan even an inch.
No, things shouldn't be like this.
Xia Wanqing's eyes were filled with disbelief. No, she didn't believe she couldn't defeat An Nuan. There would always be a way.
An Nuan had such a dirty side that Nangong Jin simply hadn't seen or didn't know about, which was why he was like this. Once Nangong Jin knew everything, it would be An Nuan's death day.
For now, let An Nuan have her momentary triumph.
"Wanqing, Wanqing..."
"Ruowei, didn't you say you also had evidence? Then, bring it out now. Make Mr. Nangong believe what I say."
"Lest Mr. Nangong be deceived, lest we be misunderstood."
Xu Ruowei hesitated for a moment, wondering whether or not to present the so-called evidence.
Her gaze fell on An Nuan, as if she wanted to see through her. Her eyes were filled with jealousy. An Nuan was clad in designer brands, and yet she was being protected by Nangong Jin as if she were a treasure.
No, this wasn't what An Nuan deserved. An Nuan should live in the dirt forever. She didn't deserve, didn't deserve any of this.
Xu Ruowei's eyes became even more venomous, turning an intense scarlet.
She couldn't stand to see the smile on An Nuan's face, even less could she stand to see An Nuan living so well.
She wanted to see An Nuan suffer humiliation and torment.
The smile on An Nuan's face now was simply too dazzling; she even wished she could destroy An Nuan's face directly.
Only by destroying it would she feel happy and pleased.
Xu Ruowei and Xia Wanqing were already seeing red, and they took out the so-called evidence they held. However, the so-called evidence was so shoddy that anyone could tell it was fake at first glance.
Nangong Jin remained calm before seeing the so-called evidence, even to the point where he would do whatever An Nuan said. After all, in his opinion, he should be obedient now; he couldn't make An Nuan angry. If An Nuan got angry, he would have to coax her. Most importantly, coaxing people was not his strong suit.
Nangong Jin exuded a terrifying aura. At this moment, Xia Wanqing and Xu Ruowei were extremely happy. In their eyes, the so-called evidence must have worked.
This was exactly what they wanted to see.
However, Nangong Jin didn't say a single word, and the two of them began to feel a little scared.
"Mr... Mr. Nangong..."
Xia Wanqing felt something was wrong but couldn't articulate it. She thought this stalemate couldn't continue.
"Nangong Jin, this is all true. If you don't believe me, you can investigate."
"I believe that if you want to know, you will surely be able to find out."
Nangong Jin let out a cold scoff. He drew An Nuan into his embrace and looked at the two people before him with utter disdain, saying, "The timing of your so-called evidence is already inconsistent. Do you really think I would believe what you're saying?"
The two exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with an unusual light.
They knew better than anyone whether this evidence was real or fake. However, did Nangong Jin believe An Nuan so much? Without even a hint of doubt?
What had An Nuan done to Nangong Jin to make him trust her so implicitly?
"This is all true. Whether you believe it or not is your business."
Nangong Jin snorted coldly, "Your so-called evidence, the timing, is truly laughable."
"By the way, when you were trying to frame someone, didn't you investigate all the details?"
"The time indicated in your so-called evidence was when An Nuan was not abroad. Most importantly, she was with me the entire time. Therefore, do you think it's possible for her to be with another man while by my side?"
"Could it be her soul that went out?"
Xia Wanqing and Xu Ruowei's faces turned extremely grim. They truly hadn't expected their timing to be so unfortunate, to have it backfire so perfectly.
If they could do it all over again, they would have chosen something else.
