Chapter 91: Song Huan Yan Is My Wife

~11 min read 2,066 words

Now, the company employees who were watching the spectacle were all surprised.

Qiao An really formed a marriage alliance with Nan Gong Ershao!

No wonder, so arrogant.

Indeed.

If it weren't for such a hard‑backed backing.

Song Huan Yan, as the boss who put up the money to back her, even if she refused to toast.

Normally she could only find an excuse to step down; how could she dare to draw swords and bows to this extent?

And she even saw two members of the Nan Gong family come to support the scene, yet they still wouldn't bow their heads.

So it's because she leans on the marriage alliance, fearless!

Upon hearing that, Gu Qinghe's complexion indeed changed a bit, but she quickly said, "Since you've married into a marriage alliance with Yi Chen, consider yourself half a member of the Nan Gong family. Don't you know the Nan Gong family and the Song family have always been on good terms? As the host, treating guests like this, is that even reasonable? It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but you made a mess of it, causing chaos. With a daughter‑in‑law like you, I don't think I can endure it; if you want to break off the marriage, go ahead!"

Gu Qinghe turned the tables on Qiao An's group.

Qiao An's face instantly turned as grim as a female ghost, hurriedly saying, "No, Aunt Gu, that's not what I meant."

After speaking, she turned and scolded her own little sisters, "What nonsense are you spouting! Hurry up and apologize to Aunt Gu and President Song!"

Seeing that the situation couldn't be salvaged at all, Gu Qinghe gave her no backing.

Qiao An could only start pretending to be a good person.

The little sisters also knew the situation was bad and thought they'd simply apologize to get off the hook, so they wouldn't have to be forced to drink, right?

Just as the sisters were about to speak, Nan Gong Yu spoke, his tone cold, "Drag them away, forced drinking. The one left, come over properly and apologize."

Nan Gong Yu was too lazy to play games with them; there was too much nonsense.

Even that idle chatter had already exhausted his patience.

He hurried back, dust‑covered, to sit here, just to watch others bully his wife for over ten minutes?

Nan Gong Yu was not only impatient but also angry.

Meng Zhangfeng, hearing this, knew Nan Gong Yu was already very impatient, and immediately gave the bodyguard a look and a hand signal.

The bodyguard understood, stepped forward, covered the mouths of several little sisters and dragged them out.

Clean and swift.

Now those little sisters couldn't even shout.

Qiao An took a deep breath and shivered inexplicably.

She opened her mouth, but not a single word came out.

Perhaps because she dared not speak.

Gu Qinghe also knew Nan Gong Yu's temper and stayed silent.

Just because Qiao An didn't speak for a few seconds, Nan Gong Yu's expression grew even colder and sharper, saying, "Do you still want me to give you a reason? Teaming up with friends to set a trap, you played First Courtesy Then Force to a tee. Is your backing behind you Nan Gong Jue? If you compare your backing, then you've lost."

Qiao An's throat felt like it was packed with cotton, clogged, and she struggled to speak, "Big brother…"

"I've changed my mind," Nan Gong Yu cut her off coldly. "I always despise people who are hard‑mouthed and hard‑hearted, so an apology isn't enough. Since you love drinking so much, you shall drink as well."

Qiao An's eyes widened.

Those little sisters had already been dragged away, and no one knew what they'd be forced to drink.

Qiao An's tears streamed down, but at that moment no one spoke for her.

Meng Zhangfeng made a gesture.

The bodyguards who fetched the wine did so, those who moved forward stepped forward, all very deft.

Gu Qinghe swapped seats with Song Huan Yan, letting Song Huan Yan sit next to Nan Gong Yu, remaining silent the whole time.

She neither helped Qiao An nor questioned any of Nan Gong Yu's words.

Qiao An looked at Gu Qinghe; her tearful appearance was indeed pitiful, and her gaze was quite desperate.

After all, this is the family she is to marry into; a future mother‑in‑law acting like this really makes one hard to be happy.

But Gu Qinghe simply ignored her.

And Qin Zi Mo, who had been watching from the side, broke out in cold sweat.

Thank goodness!

Fortunately, he hadn't fully listened to Qiao An at that moment, clashing with Song Huan Yan.

Fortunately, he had just stepped up to help Song Huan Yan!

Although Qiao An's fiancé also surprised him, at least he didn't dead‑end Song Huan Yan's path.

He was so grateful!

Qiao An had no choice but to lower her head and be submissive.

Even if Gu Qinghe didn't back her, she could not give up the marriage alliance with the Nan Gong family!

Just as Qiao An was about to speak submissively, the receptionist at the door shouted loudly, "Nan Gong Ershao arrived!"

Everyone: "!!!"

Finally arrived, truly the focus of everyone's attention.

When he came, this situation… became hard to describe.

After all, he's the official fiancé.

Song Huan Yan is merely a friend of the noble families.

Earlier, Gu Qinghe and Nan Gong Yu were probably just putting on a show.

If Nan Gong Jue arrives and insists on protecting Qiao An, things might get complicated.

Song Huan Yan and the others also looked over, their expressions varied and vivid.

Although Song Huan Yan and Sang Wan, Tang Chenge were separated by Gu Qinghe, the three exchanged glances.

But actually Song Huan Yan's thoughts were very complicated.

Nan Gong Jue arrived looking a bit disheveled, presumably having rushed over.

His stride was swift and decisive, and his gaze fell far over at Qiao An.

Qiao An hurriedly stepped forward, "Lord Jue brother!"

Nan Gong Yu did not stop him.

Qiao An stepped forward, her eyes red and tears still on her face.

She looked truly pitiful, as if seeing my compassion.

"What happened?" Nan Gong Jue frowned.

Qiao An pitifully recounted the events.

Nan Gong Jue furrowed his brows and said, "I understand. Don't be hasty for now."

Qiao An finally felt at ease.

At last, someone who didn't side with Song Huan Yan arrived.

Calmed by Nan Gong Jue, Qiao An regained confidence.

The two stepped forward, and Nan Gong Jue spoke first, "Mother."

Gu Qinghe nodded.

Then Nan Gong Jue looked at Nan Gong Yu and Song Huan Yan, and politely said, "Elder brother, Elder Sister-in-law."

When those words were spoken, all the employees of Song Huan Yan's company who heard them widened their eyes.

Elder brother.... Elder Sister-in-law???

Qiao An was even more frightened by the address, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

Elder Sister-in-law??

Song.... Huan Yan, that damned old woman?

Is she Nan Gong Yu's wife??

Qiao An's eyes were about to pop out.

Like a bolt from a clear sky!

She had thought that marrying Nan Gong Jue would make them invincible.

But she didn't expect that the one who married the most powerful man… was actually the old scoundrel Song Huan Yan!

Qiao An almost fainted.

She reached out and grabbed Nan Gong Jue's hem to steady herself.

Also on the verge of fainting were Qin Zi Mo and his wife Qin Jiao Jiao.

Dreams, hopes, and delusions were completely shattered at that moment like fleeting bubbles.

She.... got married??

Right, the Ring on her hand wasn't given by Leng Jian Yue, but… by Nan Gong Yu?

Is it a real wedding Ring?

Wearing it on the ring finger wasn't just for show?

She actually.... married the world's top‑tier conglomerate ruler.... married....!

The one who truly lost his footing was Qin Zi Mo.

His complexion turned ghastly pale, his legs went weak, and his body dropped straight down.

But Qin Jiao Jiao and Li Zihang, quick‑eyed and quick‑handed, caught him, saving him from embarrassment.

However, no one seemed to notice him now.

Nan Gong Yu nodded, "Finally, you're here. Sit. Let me also explain why you hold a grudge against your Elder Sister-in-law, making your Marriage Alliance partner treat you so badly. Do you know the whole story? If not, I'll have someone recount it for you again."

"I roughly know," Nan Gong Jue said obediently and reverently before Nan Gong Yu, "An An has already told me the gist."

Nan Gong Yu nodded, his expression cold, "So?"

Nan Gong Jue said, "Sorry, elder brother, I didn't know the boss An An was actually Elder Sister-in-law."

Nan Gong Yu looked at him, his face still unmoved, and added, "And then? Explain your handling method, no nonsense."

Nan Gong Jue replied, "We are all family, elder brother, Elder Sister-in-law...."

Before he could finish, Nan Gong Yu said, "No way."

Nan Gong Jue was taken aback.

Song Huan Yan was about to speak, but Qiao An cut in.

She tugged Nan Gong Jue's sleeve, her eyes still red, her voice tinged with sobs, feeling aggrieved yet coquettishly saying, "Lord Jue brother, forget it, don't let this damage the harmony between me and your elder brother."

Nan Gong Jue immediately softened, patting her hand gently, "It's fine, he's our own elder brother, not an outsider."

Qiao An then looked at Nan Gong Yu and said proactively, "What does elder brother want me to do?"

She meant that she didn't need Nan Gong Jue to intervene; she would settle the matter herself.

Nan Gong Yu stared at her coldly, showing no sign of yielding, and said rigidly, "Apologize, compensate with wine; whatever you were about to pour on Huan Yan, drink that amount yourself."

Qiao An's complexion turned pale.

She had thought that by voluntarily lowering her head, Nan Gong Yu would, for Nan Gong Jue's sake, brush it off with a few words and let it pass.

But she didn't expect....

Before Qiao An could speak, Nan Gong Jue frowned, "Elder brother, isn't this wrong?"

Nan Gong Yu retorted, "What's wrong about it?"

Nan Gong Jue said, "An An is my Marriage Alliance partner."

Nan Gong Yu, expression blank, said, "Song Huan Yan is my wife."

The two brothers just stared at each other, each refusing to yield.

The mood instantly froze to a dead chill.

But Gu Qinghe, as the mother, said nothing.

Nobody helped.

Waiting for the two of them to "play" on their own.

The crowd was shocked; she really was a wife!

Nan Gong Yu personally admitted it!

Nan Gong Yu said, "She set the trap first; second brother, are you sure you want to protect her?"

Nan Gong Jue replied, "Eldest brother, this isn't a trap… An An doesn't know…"

Nan Gong Yu cut him off, "Even if she doesn't know about Huan Yan and me, Huan Yan, as her boss, still dares this—doesn't that mean she's relying on you behind the scenes? I've never heard of any subordinate treating a boss like that; if a toast fails, they resort to Forced Drinking. Have you ever heard of such a thing?"

Nan Gong Jue knit his eyebrows.

Nan Gong Yu added, "Since she wants to compare the reliance behind the scenes, shall the two of us brothers compare as well?"

After speaking, Nan Gong Yu glanced at Qiao An.

Qiao An's complexion turned as white as a sheet of paper, and tears uncontrollably fell.

Half a second later, Nan Gong Yu withdrew his gaze.

Nan Gong Jue said, "Eldest brother, I'm sure I can't match you. But could you, for the sake of my face…"

"No," Nan Gong Yu replied, his attitude extremely firm, unmoved and refusing any courtesy.

Qiao An immediately burst into tears, "Alright, alright, Brother Jue, I know you care for me. It's all my fault; I apologize. I'll drink, it's fine. I was wrong from the start, I'm sorry!"

Having said that, she was about to kneel and apologize.

Nan Gong Jue's expression also turned sour; he reached out to support her, didn't let her kneel, and said, "Apologize if you must, but why are you still kneeling?"

Qiao An was pulled up by him, and she cautiously glanced at Nan Gong Yu.
