My Evil Genius Wife Chapter 8
Advertisement
Xu Nuan's lips curled up in a satisfied smile seeing Gu Xingren's outburst. She was trying so hard to keep her innocent, gentle image in front of her parents.
But in the end, she couldn't keep it up for long. These kinds of people are very sensitive. They think that they are strong and intelligent but that's only their self-deception.
They can easily be fooled or triggered. You just need to say a few things and they will lose their temper in an instant.
Lin Ran was also surprised to see Gu Xingren yelling like this. She has always acted like a refined lady and that's why she was so proud of her.
However, she was showing a crude behavior in front of the Young Master of the Han family, this made her a little uncomfortable.
" Xingren.." Lin Ran looked at her in shock seeing how she yelled.
Hearing Lin Ran's words and seeing her shocking reaction, Gu Xingren realized what she had done.
She calmed down and said calmly while acting like nothing happened, " Xu Nuan, I know that you dislike me for taking your place. But it's not my fault, is it? Just like you, my life has become a complete mess as well."
" But do you really have to hurt me like this? You know how much I love mother and father yet you say things like this. It hurts you know…" she started sobbing and was wiping her tears which were still not there.
Xu Nuan was awestruck seeing how quickly she changed her character. Even she can't act like this after being in showbiz for so long.
In her last life, she has tried acting as well. However, she failed miserably. That time she realized that she can only sing and perform but can't act. Some people are just not meant for a few things.

' Xingren you have my respect. You're really a great actress.'
Lin Ran's heart melted seeing her daughter crying. She walked to her and patted her arm, " Xingren, don't cry. You're my daughter, our daughter. No one can separate you from us."
Gu Zhang also nodded and turned to Xu Nuan, " You...stop saying rubbish and apologize to Xingren for falsely accusing her. We know that she can't do something like this. How dare you put all the blame on her?"
Xu Nuan raised her brows and said casually, " I didn't falsely accuse her. She did push me on the road. If you call the police, this can get clear and your daughter will be charged with attempting murder since it was a very serious accident. "
Her expressions turned dark as she said, " It might look nothing in your eyes since I am looking fine but what if I hadn't woken up? This can be called an accident because I am alive but it is murder if I had died."
Her voice became low as she said the last line. Because the real Xu Nuan has died and no one knows about it. Sadly, someone has died and no one is aware of that. There is no one to cry for her or mourn over her loss.
Jiang Yue was sure that no one would have cried for her even if they had known that she had died. Her parents didn't even visit when she got into such a serious accident and was comatose for the whole three days yet they didn't even care.
" But you're alive, aren't you? Then how can you call it an attempt to murder?" Gu Xingren who was hiding behind Lin Ran shouted hearing Xu Nuan call it an attempt to murder.
She had only pushed her in irritation when she couldn't handle her rage but she fell on the road and got hit by the upcoming car.

It was an accident since it wasn't intentional. But she felt that it was for good that she got hit since this way, no one could take this position from her.
However, she was afraid that people would blame her, so she left the place and acted like she got separated from Xu Nuan hours ago.
Since the road was secluded and no one was around, she got away easily without any getting caught. She was sure that no one had seen her and nothing could be done even if the police came. But she still feels a little scared of the name of the police.
Gu Zhang glanced at Gu Xingren hearing her words and furrowed his brows. He pursed his lips and turned to Xu Nuan again, " Xu Nuan, don't spout nonsense. There is no evidence to prove your words anyway. There won't be any use if we called the police since there is no evidence. Just forget about it and focus on getting recovered from your injuries."
He started to feel that Gu Xingren is trying to hide something but his fatherly instincts didn't allow him to be suspicious of his princess daughter. Moreover, the accident has already happened and Xu Nuan is fine now. There is no use elevating this matter and punishing Xingren just to satisfy Xu Nuan.
Xu Nuan pursed her lips hearing the word evidence. She thought that the police would take care of the incident if they tried to investigate, but she forgot about the evidence.
Because if Gu Xingren wants to hide her crime, she can even bribe the police and get away from the situation so easily.
She clenched the bedsheets as she thought about how to turn the situation. She tried to think carefully and find any clue from Xu Nuan's memories.
Her lips quivered because she could feel a sharp pain in her head. She closed her eyes and tried to think about it while bearing the deadly pain.
" Who said that there is no evidence?"
Just as she was trying to remember what happened when the accident occurred clearly, she heard a low manly voice from the side.
Her eyes flew open when she heard about the word evidence.
It was not Feng Sheng but Han Zihao. The man who was standing on the side all this while, finally spoke.
She stared at him in confusion and admiration.
' Is he trying to help me out?'
Han Zihao noticed her gaze full of admiration and glanced at her. However, he instantly averted his gaze to Gu Zhang and said, "Mr. Gu, there is evidence. The road where the accident occurred is secluded empty road however since it's near the airport, there must be some CCTVs."
" Our country's security system has improved a lot and police have installed CCTV cameras in such quiet and secluded areas to keep them in check. If you want evidence, I can ask my secretary to bring one."
Feng Sheng was speechless seeing the way he was getting involved in this girl's affair.
There is no need for them to even stand there and listen to this argument, however, since Han Zihao is silently standing there, he has no choice but to stand there and listen.
But why does Han Zihao want to get involved in this? He has no reason to do so.

Petrichor: Act One
Cody is adrift. Emily is alone. Sara is spiraling into darkness. Andrew is out of control. Chris is losing his mind. Grace makes the mistake of being friends with all of them. The friendship these six share will forever shape who they are. In the town of Darkwood, Washington they are forced into the harsh reality of the world catching up to them. When their involvement in their friend's suicide catches up to them, how will they juggle their guilt, issues, and crumbling friendships that fall before them? This is a redux of Petrichor. I was unsatisfied with how the story went. I rushed things and left things to happen off-screen a lot. So I'm rewriting it, this time dividing the acts into their separate books to allow the characters to properly develop. The story will mostly stay the same but I'll fix all the plot holes I found and change some character motivations here or there.
