After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 523

"I'm a little hungry," An Nuan said to Uncle Zhong in a very casual tone, "Could you please help me prepare dinner?"

"Sure, I'll go make it right away," Uncle Zhong replied hurriedly.

As long as she felt hungry, it was good.

He was afraid that the lady would become completely dejected because of the young master's situation.

In fact,

When An Nuan isolated herself, there were a few seconds where she truly wanted to give up.

She became so negative that she even felt she couldn't change anything.

She didn't have the capability to alter her fate.

But when she thought of Ye Jinghuai, thought of every moment they spent together, thought of their happiness, and thought of their future, she didn't want to give up.

She and Ye Jinghuai still had such a wonderful future ahead, she couldn't let everything be ruined by Gu Yan Sheng's hands.

Yes.

Human will prevails over fate.

She didn't believe she was being given a second chance at life; Heaven was just playing a joke on her.

So when she truly reached the depths of despair, An Nuan gradually struggled her way out of the darkness.

She took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

She told herself, no matter what happened, she wouldn't give up until the very last moment.

So,

She opened the door and walked out again.

Downstairs in the dining room,

Uncle Zhong quickly prepared a few nutritious dishes for dinner.

Because he was worried about An Nuan, Uncle Zhong and Hu Feng didn't eat either, and the three of them sat together to have dinner.

The dining table was quiet.

As An Nuan ate, she casually scrolled through her phone.

From this afternoon until now, there were nearly 50 missed calls.

Most of them were from Xia Qiqi, that impatient person had called almost 20 times.

Then there was Xiao Nanchen.

Next were Ye Jinghuai's parents, siblings, and her own parents.

Finally, there were some media outlets, and even some unfamiliar phone numbers.

"Madam, you should eat more," Uncle Zhong reminded her when he saw her looking at her phone.

An Nuan put down her phone.

She didn't want the others to worry too much about her either.

She smiled and said, "I'm fine."

"The young master won't be in trouble," Uncle Zhong said firmly.

"Yeah, I know," An Nuan nodded.

She knew they could still attempt a prison break if needed.

Xiao Nanchen had told her that as a last resort, they could take that path.

But she didn't want to.

First, a prison break would mean acknowledging that Ye Jinghuai was guilty of the crimes of corruption and rape, and from then on he would carry those charges. She couldn't accept Ye Jinghuai being insulted like that.

Second, a prison break would also mean they were compromising with Gu Yan Sheng and the Aristocratic Family. They would have to give up all their assets and leave their homeland! More importantly, she couldn't accept Gu Yan Sheng and those who secretly harmed them taking possession of everything that originally belonged to them, getting away with it scot-free and becoming arrogant!

In summary,

She told herself she couldn't lose.

She lost miserably in her previous life, but in this life, she had to pay them back double.

An Nuan adjusted her mood and said to Uncle Zhong and Hu Feng, "Rest assured, I will make sure Ye Jinghuai comes out safely."

"Yes," Uncle Zhong nodded heavily.

He believed in the lady's ability.

Hu Feng, a man of few words, also expressed his affirmation of the lady.

After dinner,

An Nuan returned to her room.

This time, instead of isolating herself in the room she shared with Ye Jinghuai, she began to slowly analyze and think about the current case.

She looked at the news.

Today, she only heard Gu Yan Sheng say that Ye Jinghuai had raped and killed An Xiao...

An Xiao was dead?!

She had watched An Xiao get into a luxury car that day, and then she died the same night?!

She had asked Qin Jiang to investigate at the time.

But because Ye Jinghuai was arrested afterwards, she didn't ask, and Qin Jiang didn't tell her, who An Xiao was with and what she had been doing.

And now Qin Jiang was being detained in Jiang City!

An Nuan gritted her teeth.

They were truly encountering obstacles at every turn, struggling to make progress.

She took a deep breath and looked at the headlines.

The news was once again becoming extremely popular due to the criminal facts revealed about Ye Jinghuai.

An Nuan looked at it.

She looked at the somewhat dim photos in the news.

The photos showed Ye Jinghuai and An Xiao tugging at each other at the entrance of a hotel.

Their actions seemed somewhat intimate.

Next were photos of An Xiao's body being pulled out of the moat around Qing City, with mosaic censoring applied, likely because it had become disfigured from being submerged in water.

An Nuan just looked at them.

She looked at how An Xiao had died.

Of course, she didn't think An Xiao could have lived much longer anyway, since she was bound to die for her own misdeeds.

But she still couldn't accept that An Xiao had died so abruptly.

She had originally thought,

If An Xiao were to die, it would be at her own hands.

In her previous life, An Xiao never missed an opportunity to insult her when she was down. This life, she had originally planned to decide how to deal with An Xiao after killing Gu Yan Sheng and seeing how she behaved, but she never expected An Xiao to just die so suddenly and unexpectedly!

She didn't feel any sympathy though.

For someone like An Xiao who had no good intentions, her death was no great loss.

What An Nuan was displeased about was that An Xiao had died, but her death was being used as evidence to frame Ye Jinghuai.

The news stated very clearly that Ye Jinghuai had forcibly had an improper relationship with An Xiao that night, and An Xiao had killed herself by jumping into the river because she couldn't accept being raped by her brother-in-law!

From An Xiao's autopsy report, it was obvious that she had been raped, quite violently, but because her body had been submerged in the river for too long, although they couldn't extract the perpetrator's DNA, the current evidence was enough to prove the rape took place.

An Nuan clenched her phone tightly.

She was slowly reconstructing the scene of An Xiao's death!

According to the reports in the news, An Xiao had definitely been raped, likely quite brutally, in order to make Ye Jinghuai's framing seem even more appalling. Then they had deliberately thrown her into the river, letting her body soak in the water for a few days to ensure any DNA from the perpetrator would be washed away before exposing An Xiao's death.

Everything was done so seamlessly.

An Nuan couldn't help but wonder if An Xiao had regretted her actions before she died.

To obtain something that didn't belong to her, she had risked her life to become someone else's pawn.

An Nuan didn't want to speculate.

For someone like An Xiao, there was really no need for any pity.

So it was all her own fault.

An Nuan exited the news app and called Xiao Nanchen.

Unexpectedly, even though it was so late at night, the call was answered after one ring, "Nuan Nuan."

"Not asleep yet?"

"Like you, I can't sleep either."

"Is your side having a lot of difficulties?" An Nuan asked.

"A bit, I'm planning to go to Jiang City tomorrow," Xiao Nanchen said directly, "I'm still a little uneasy, so I want to go there in person."

"Be careful."

"Okay." Xiao Nanchen nodded, then asked, "How about you?"
