My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 418: Melo-Drama

Xu Nuan, who reached earlier than the appointment time, took a seat in the cafe and was waiting for the other party to arrive. She ordered a glass of lemonade for herself while waiting for the other person as it’s refreshing and will help her to cool down her heated mind.

” I wish I could go home early tonight.” She sighed tiredly as she massaged her stiffened neck. After taking the classes the whole morning and afternoon, her neck and lower back were aching badly. Has she always been this frail? She wondered.

Although Xu Nuan’s body has been on the weaker and malnourished side from the starting, things got, even more, worse after the accident. However, her condition was getting better in the last few months under the scrutiny of Han Zihao and Grandmother Han who kept feeding her bitter, nauseating tonics to make her strong and healthier.

Seems like along with maintaining a good diet, she needs to focus on working out as well. Since the day she left the shining bright company and became the CEO, she has been working doing the desk work most of her time.

It’s more exhausting mentally than physically, causing her to be weak on both sides.

” WHAT...WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? So...You’re telling me that you’re fine with Xu Nuan being Han Zihao’s girlfriend? Are you out of your mind? Can’t you see how crude and shameless that girl is? If she enters the family, she will ruin the peace of the family.” Xu Nuan, who was stretching her legs under the table while drinking her lemonade, her ears perked up upon hearing someone talking about her and Han Zihao’s relationship.

At first, she wondered if she heard it wrong but it cannot be a coincidence for her to mishear her and Han Zihao’s names altogether.

.....

‘Who is bitching about me in broad daylight?’ She frowned and leaned back in the chair to hear the words of the person who was sitting at the table behind her.

” Didn’t I tell you before? That girl is after money!”

“She told me herself that she doesn’t love Han Zihao and is only after his money. Didn’t I tell you how that bitch conned me and took away a large sum of money? Even after taking that money, she didn’t leave him and instead turned me into a bad guy in front of him. Also, weren’t you against that girl as well? How come you’re now saying that you have no problem with her?”

” This high-pitch annoying voice....why does it sound so familiar?” Xu Nuan muttered in a low voice as she grew curious to know who was cursing her for no reason.

To see the person behind her, she pulled out a compact powder from her bag and tried to look at the person who was sitting behind her from the reflection in the mirror.

” This....” Xu Nuan was speechless to see the person who was hating on her so passionately. The person who was speaking sh*t about her was none other than the biological mother of Han Zihao, Su Xinyue.

Was she still going on about the same money thing? Before this, she had come after her when she wasn’t even dating Han Zihao at that time and offered her 5 million to break up with him. But...how will she break up with him when she wasn’t even in a relationship with him?

After she cashed the cheque that Su Xinyue left at her house and donated it, she bashed her for being shameless and a money-grubber.

She was aware that Han Zihao’s mother is selfish and has an annoying personality, but she wasn’t expecting her to go on about the same thing even after so long.

A year has passed since then but she is still stuck on the same thing.

But...with whom she is talking? Xu Nuan squinted her eyes and tried to focus on the person who was sitting with her back facing her side.

‘From the back....why does this person look familiar as well?’ Xu Nuan raised her compact powder a bit more to see the person sitting behind her table more clearly.

” Oh, Shit!!” Xu Nuan almost cursed out loud in shock when she saw the side profile of the person with whom Su Xinyue was talking to.

It’s none other than Han Zihao’s stepmother, Cheng Zixing. What kind of melodrama is this? She was speechless to see this bizarre situation.

It was her first time seeing two women who are related to a man to be sitting together and having coffee in the cafe. However, Isn’t their relationship quite complicated to be sitting together in a cafe like this?

Are they....planning to kill her and set Han Zihao with that little bitch Zhu Ai? A thought popped into her head but it soon dissipated. They’re too much of a coward to go to such lengths to make her break up with Han Zihao.

‘But seriously, what’s going on?’ Xu Nuan was seriously confused and curious at the same time. What an interesting drama going on here. She is wasting her money on channel subscriptions for no reason at this point.

Her life is more dramatic than any other drama.

” Miss, would you like to have something to eat as well? You can check out our menu and see if there is anything you would like to eat.” Xu Nuan was startled when a waiter came by her seat with a menu in his hand and asked her politely if she would like to make an order.

She bit her lips and immediately put down her hand and placed the compact powder on the table. ” Shh!! Lower your voice.” Xu Nuan signaled him to speak in a low voice as if it would help her in any way.

The waiter stared at her in confusion and nodded without understanding. ” Ah, Yes. You can choose from our appetizers section if you’d like to have something light to eat.” He asked again, causing her to almost jump out of her seat.

‘ Why the hell is this man trying so hard to serve? That too in front of both of my mothers-in-law.’

‘ I don’t deserve this kind of politeness buddy.’ She cried inwardly as she waved her hand at him to go away and mouthed that she will order later when her friend arrives.

” Alright, Mam.” The waiter smiled and nodded, before leaving her alone.

Finally!!

Xu Nuan took a deep breath and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation closely. Since she is going to deal with two of her mothers-in-law in the future, she needs to know what kinds of thoughts they bore towards her.

After a few minutes of silence, Cheng Zixing finally spoke against Su Xinyue’s curious questions. ” I never hated her. I just didn’t like her from the start. Since I believed that Han Zihao deserved a better girl. The girl who belongs to a similar family background as us would be a better companion for him.”

” Also, Xu Nuan is quite younger than him, which might create problems between the two later on in their marriage.” Cheng Zixing explained her point of view. Although her first concern was Han Zihao, somewhere in her heart she always disliked Xu Nuan because of her closeness and bond with the other family members.

She hasn’t even entered the house yet and everyone adores her already. It feels like....she is taking away the place that she had made into this house for years, with her simple existence only.

Su Xinyue pursed her lips and felt annoyed at the way Cheng Zixing was speaking. Can’t she simply admit that she doesn’t like Xu Nuan as well? Why is she trying to act as if she really cares about Han Zihao?

Seeing the way she was talking, someone might misunderstand that Cheng Zixing is the ‘real’ mother of Han Zihao.

Su Xinyue gritted her teeth and tried to keep her calm composure as she asked again, ” So? Have your ideas changed against that girl now?”

” Don’t you know that she ruined the Gu family? She has sued her own sister and humiliated her in front of the whole college. Even though she has taken back the case against Gu Xingren, her reputation has been ruined completely.” Su Xinyue reminded her how much of a threat Xu Nuan can be to the Han Family’s reputation.

” I understand that she is the biological daughter of the Gu Family, but does she really have to sue her own sister? That girl is equally miserable as well. This action of hers shows how much of a grudge that girl holds towards someone.”

Xu Nuan raised her brows and was surprised to see how much information Su Xinyue has about her. She thought that her chapter with Su Xinyue had ended already, but seems like she couldn’t forget her even if it’s been so long.

” She sure has a lot of complaints against me.” Xu Nuan sighed and murmured in a low voice while trying to eavesdrop on their not-so-secretive conversation.
