Yang Jian's face turned crimson in embarrassment when he heard her words. He looked around and realized that the video had ended and everyone was staring at him strangely as they all heard what she said.

He gritted his teeth and glared at her wanting to teach her a lesson right away. However, instead of being afraid, she smirked at him and shrugged her shoulders casually, provoking even further.

He clenched his fists in anger as he controlled himself for raising his hand on her in front of everyone, 'How dare she….'

" You...How dare you!! How dare you spout such lies about me? Huh? Are you doing this to get money from me? What a shameless-cheap bi*ch!"

" I should have known that people like you can never grow up as a decent person. I am sure your parents must have abandoned you in the orphanage because they knew what kind of bi*ch you are." He scoffed at her, wanting to show her the place where she belongs.

Xu Nuan frowned when she heard his baseless words, it wouldn't have affected her if he would have said anything about her current self. However, his words were not only meant for her but also attacked the real Xu Nuan who has faced all the hardship in this life, alone.

Her nonchalant expressions darkened upon hearing his provocative words, which were meant to be heard by everyone as he was speaking loudly.

Gu Zhang and Lin Ran were also shocked upon hearing his words. They know that Xu Nuan is their daughter and has grown up in the orphanage but his words were not only meant for Xu Nuan but them, as parents as well.

" You're just an orphan who was adopted into the family, as someone as insignificant as you who doesn't even have the qualification to stand beside him, you should be honored that I have shown interest in you. You should be glad and thankful to me that I agreed to accept you as my woman. Otherwise, who will want to have an orphan wife who works in an entertainment industry, who knows what dirty deeds you have done to reach this place?" He scoffed in disgust.

" You're sitting here because you were adopted by the Gu family. You should be thankful for them and should repay their kindness by showing your best behavior and yet you dared to humiliate me, Yang Jian, who is going to invest in Xingren's brand."

" Are you doing this to ruin her business? Huh? You hate her, don't you? Because she is the heiress of the Gu family and you're just an orphan who was adopted by the family?" He stared into Xu Nuan's eyes and smirked at her, wanting to see the fear and truth in her eyes.

Xu Nuan's lips twitched upon hearing his words and seeing his provocative glare. Rather than backing away, she turned to Xingren who broke into a cold sweat and smirked.

Yang Jian's words were affecting Xingren more than her since she is a fake-heiress and not a real-Gu.

" Do you think that highly of you? Huh?" Xu Nuan turned to Yang Jian and looked into his eyes coldly, surprising him with her reaction.

" What?"

She smirked and shakes her head tiredly, " Ah, I can't believe that you're that confident and prideful with this face of yours. Do you think that girls roam around you because they're impressed by you and you're charming? No!"

" They're just behind the money that you have got because of your wife. I feel pity for your wife who married a monster like you who not only treated her like a trophy all these years after taking over her wealth but also cheated on her. Disgusting is you, not me!" her eyes turned colder as she glared at him, remembering how his words were meant to insult Xu Nuan.

She hates cheaters like him who boast about themselves after treating women like trophies rather than a human.

" What...what nonsense are you spouting?" He panicked upon hearing her words. No one knows the truth behind his wealth than how can this girl….

" Nonsense? Do you think all these are nonsense? You beating your wife to purple is nonsense, the shady deals that you made in name of welfare works are nonsense, your affair with your secretary is nonsense, your-

" Stop it. Stop it.!!" He shouted when she continued to mention his deeds that were hidden under the layer of his fame. In the business field, everyone knows him and were aware of his deeds deep down, but no one ever dared to bring them out in front of everyone.

He gritted his teeth and looked around seeing everyone's shocked expressions, those low-whispers caused his expressions to turn crimson.

This bitch….

He glared at her and murmured in a low voice, " Shut your fuc*ing mouth. Don't go too far, don't forget your position."

Xu Nuan raised her brows seeing that he still dared to look into her eyes after being exposed like that. She glanced at Xingren once again and smirked at her seeing her frightened expressions, and chuckled. Her expressions were obvious knowing that the investment she was planning will never happen.

' Xingren, that's what happens if you try to use me for your personal means. I know how to deal with people like you, very well.' she smirked at her, making her flinch at her nonchalant expressions.

" Do you think that you can hurt me with your words? Little girl, don't play with fire, you will burn yourself." he leaned closer and said coldly, looking at her with his fiery-gaze.

Grandfather frowned seeing Yang Jian close to her and glaring at her as if he would harm her, his eyes were filled with hatred and menace. Yuhan who was sitting at the table behind was about to stand up but his mother was holding onto his hand, preventing him from interfering in this matter.

When Yang Jian started arguing with Xu Nuan, he wanted to help her but his mother stopped him from interfering in their family matter. He didn't say anything at first but when Yang Jian humiliated Xu Nuan in front of everyone, he lost his cool.

He was about to walk to Xu Nuan when he heard her response. He also froze in his steps as he couldn't believe her reaction, generally, people cry or feel humiliated when spoken to like this in front of everyone.

But she dealt with it maturely, leaving the other person shocked. However, Yang Jian's expressions at this moment were filled with darkness and menace.

He was afraid that he might hurt her. However, just as he walked towards their table, he heard a deep, distant voice which caused him to halt in his steps.

" Step back!!"

He turned around and saw a familiar man wearing a dusky-grey formal suit walking towards them while buttoning up his coat. His every step was firm and steady as he walked in long strides.

'What is he doing here?'
