- Chapter 16 - The Clarification Video
Not long ago, Jiang Nian’an had already been manipulated by Yao Anna once, and now seeing Yao Anna uncharacteristically cozy up to her, her heart immediately skipped a beat!
The fiancée was really too fickle; she couldn’t handle it.
Yao Zhenzhen looked at their intimate behavior, her eyes darkening, and her inner thoughts churned like a stormy sea, her hands clasped tightly around the corner of her clothes at her sides.
Given how they were acting, could it be that just now inside… they hadn’t performed a temporary mark, had they? Otherwise, why would Yao Anna’s attitude towards CEO Jiang suddenly do a complete 180?
Yao Anna didn’t care what Yao Zhenzhen was conjuring up in her mind. She smiled sweetly and said, “Sister, what are you talking about? CEO Jiang is your future brother-in-law, and even more so, my future husband. This is a public fact. Our spending time alone, an Alpha and an Omega, doesn’t seem to concern you, does it?”
She suddenly looked as if something had occurred to her, expressing great surprise. She abruptly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes momentarily complex.
“Could it be, Zhenzhen, that you like Nian’an?”
Nian’an?
Hadn’t she just been using the distant address of ‘CEO Jiang’?
Clever as she was, Jiang Nian’an couldn’t fail to see that Yao Anna was using her as a shield, but for some reason, Jiang Nian’an felt very pleased. Yao Anna was hooking her arm, calling her name affectionately, looking especially obedient, cute, and full of mischief.
Listening quietly to Yao Anna being passive-aggressive towards others, this version of her was far cuter than the sharp-tongued, defiant, and threatening one from just moments ago. It truly was a case of the tables turning.
Therefore, she didn’t mind being used as a shield this one time.
At this moment, Miss Jiang seemed to have forgotten the tragic fate of the last Omega who tried to use her as a shield.
Yao Zhenzhen’s face completely sank.
Yao Anna loved to see her fuming mad but unable to do anything about her!
“Sister, what are you saying…” Yao Zhenzhen forced herself to smile falsely. How could she admit in front of her father and an outsider that she coveted her sister’s Alpha? “I’ve always viewed CEO Jiang as an older sister.”
“Oh, well said. Don’t say it next time.”
Yao Anna retracted her smile, lightly raised her chin, looking at Yao Zhenzhen with full-on provocation, her voice chilling a few degrees.
“Stop trying to get familiar. She is not your sister; you should regard her as your brother-in-law!”
Yao Zhenzhen’s face instantly turned pale. Yao Anna was asserting her dominance, telling her not to even think about coveting her Alpha. Damn it, why was it Yao Anna, this bitch, who had the engagement with CEO Jiang? Otherwise, how would she be in such a disadvantageous position of coveting her brother-in-law now?
Yao Anna was CEO Jiang’s fiancée, occupying a natural advantage, which allowed her to insult her so righteously. It was infuriating!
Yao Anna watched Yao Zhenzhen’s ugly display with a smile. Although she no longer liked Jiang Nian’an in this life, she wouldn’t give away what she didn’t want to her enemy.
Watching Yao Anna being so smug in front of her, Yao Zhenzhen was so hateful she nearly ground her back teeth, yet she couldn’t say anything. She couldn’t help but cast a glance at Yao Guangming, who was sitting on the sofa, silent throughout, but Yao Guangming was looking down, deep in thought.
Yao Zhenzhen’s eyes dimmed. Without Yao Guangming backing her up, she dared not confront Yao Anna in front of Jiang Nian’an.
Jiang Nian’an watched Yao Anna render Yao Zhenzhen speechless, that self-satisfied and proud little demeanor. The corner of her mouth lifted into a barely noticeable arc.
She seemed to really dislike Yao Zhenzhen…
Thinking of the video Yao Anna recorded in the study just now, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious. What conflict was there between the sisters that made Yao Anna bristle with sharp thorns like a hedgehog the moment she saw Yao Zhenzhen?
She was even willing to change her attitude toward her.
But clearly, now was not the best time to ask questions and seek answers.
Just as the atmosphere grew somewhat frozen, Yao Guangming suddenly rose from the sofa, and everyone looked at him.
Yao Zhenzhen’s eyes brightened for a moment. Just as she thought Yao Guangming couldn’t bear to see her being bullied by Yao Anna and wanted to stand up for her and lecture Yao Anna, Yao Guangming looked up and fixed his gaze on Jiang Nian’an, who stood reliably and coolly beside Yao Anna.
Four eyes met. Jiang Nian’an instantly understood Yao Guangming’s meaning. She nodded slightly, and Yao Guangming inwardly sighed in relief, casting a complicated look at Yao Anna.
He dropped a line, “I’ll go get the contract for you,” and quickly walked towards the study.
Yao Anna raised an eyebrow. She knew that Yao Guangming’s good attitude right now was thanks to her borrowing Jiang Nian’an’s influence.
But that didn’t mean she would be grateful to this dead-Alpha-scum!
Scenes from the past life were still vivid, as if they happened yesterday. Yao Anna would never forget how Jiang Nian’an and Yao Zhenzhen conspired to kill her!
Never!
Thinking of this, Yao Anna naturally let go of Jiang Nian’an’s arm, went to sit down next to Shen Xi. Shen Xi looked at her deeply, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
All this time, Yao Anna was aware of Shen Xi’s glances, both overt and subtle. She only thought Shen Xi was rushing her to get things done quickly.
After all, Shen Xi was Pei Congling’s person. Pei Congling brought along an Alpha who looked like a special forces soldier just to go through the motions, to boost her presence and project false power.
Once the matter was settled, Shen Xi would return to the Pei Group.
And Shen Xi’s existence was also a pawn planted by Pei Congling by her side, observing her every move.
“Soon. After we sign the contract, we’ll leave.”
Yao Anna leaned close to Shen Xi’s ear and whispered.
Shen Xi nodded, saying no more.
This scene, as seen by Jiang Nian’an, looked distasteful, especially the way Yao Anna and Shen Xi leaned so close to whisper. She suddenly recalled what Yao Anna had said to her in the study—
“You really hate me?”
“Why ask the obvious, CEO Jiang?”
Back in reality, Jiang Nian’an’s beautiful eyes sharpened a bit. She stared at Yao Anna’s figure for a while, still damn good-looking. Then she returned to her previous seat, crossing her long legs, and cleared her throat.
“Ahem!”
Yao Anna’s attention was drawn by the noise from that side. She frowned but ultimately said nothing, probably out of consideration for Jiang Nian’an having just helped her. This time, she didn’t talk back.
Yao Guangming quickly returned with the contract. He slammed the contract and a fountain pen onto the coffee table in front of Yao Anna, his expression cold. “It’s all here. Sign it.”
Facing Yao Guangming’s less-than-friendly attitude, Yao Anna distastefully pinched the corner of the contract and lifted it up, letting the pen that was on top of the contract roll aside. She handed the contract to Shen Xi and said coolly, “Attorney Shen, I trouble you.”
“Not at all. It’s my duty.”
Shen Xi took the contract, flipped through its page by page, reading carefully and meticulously. She was a fast reader. Finally, confirming there were no issues with the contract, she turned it to the last page and placed it in front of Yao Anna. She took out her own carried fountain pen from her bag and handed it to Yao Anna.
“The contract is fine. You can sign it.”
And this time, Yao Anna actually took the pen!
The two of them worked in perfect harmony, even though this was their first meeting!
Yao Guangming felt his face flush with embarrassment. He watched coldly as Yao Anna signed her name.
“Done.”
Finally, the task was completed. Yao Anna breathed a long sigh of relief. All that remained was to go to the relevant department to complete the paperwork!
Yao Anna put away the contract. She didn’t want to stay in the Yao family villa, where even the air felt oppressive. She rose from the sofa, and Shen Xi also got up after putting away her bag.
“The video?” Yao Guangming asked, patiently.
“It’s already posted online. You can go check my Weibo later.”
“Let’s go, Attorney Shen.”
“Mm.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Anna didn’t spare a glance for Yao Guangming, treating Zheng Xiulan and Yao Zhenzhen as if they were air, and walked straight out of the villa!
Shen Xi followed closely.
With her goal achieved, Zheng Xiulan no longer hypocritically tried to persuade Yao Anna to stay, as she had done before. After all, the current Yao Anna was no longer as easy to control as in the past, and she constantly embarrassed her and her daughter. Why would she keep Yao Anna around?
Jiang Nian’an’s gaze followed Yao Anna’s retreating figure. She pursed her lips, made up an excuse, and also left the Yao family.
Yao Zhenzhen watched the Alpha’s hurried departure, as if she was going to chase after that bitch Yao Anna, which made her even more furious!
Yao Anna, I will never forgive you!
“Master.”
With the uninvited guests gone, Zheng Xiulan saw Yao Guangming take out his phone to fiddle with and immediately leaned in. She couldn’t wait to see the public opinion turn around online!
In contrast, Yao Zhenzhen was unhurried and sat down beside Yao Guangming, looking unconcerned. With Jiang Nian’an watching Yao Anna record the video, she didn’t believe Yao Anna could play any dirty tricks—
In the video, Yao Anna sat at a dark sandalwood desk, with a large bookshelf behind her filled with various books. The quiet seating of the Omega added a touch of literary and artistic atmosphere.
But as the Omega in the video slightly lowered her eyes, her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings. Yao Anna then raised her gaze to the camera. Her beauty was the kind that was bold and aggressive, especially her ‘peach blossom’ eyes. When she stared, it felt as though she was looking right through the lens, gazing only at the viewer with profound affection…
Yao Zhenzhen noticed Yao Anna’s pale lips. Her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and a sense of foreboding suddenly came over her…
Hadn’t she been wearing lipstick when she came out just now? Why did her lips look so colorless in the video?
“Hello everyone, I am Yao Anna. It’s great to meet you all. I’m posting this video to clarify the public opinion online.”
“I believe everyone watching this already knows what I want to talk about. I was indeed sick that day because the night before, someone poured water on me and locked me in a supermarket restroom for three whole hours. If it hadn’t been for a kind staff member who found me, I might not have been able to appear at the audition.”
“Regarding the gossip about my sister stealing my role, I hereby solemnly declare that those are just rumors. Please stop scolding her. Zhenzhen is my half-sister. How could she possibly harm me?”
At this point, Yao Anna in the video smiled, but the smile was full of pallor and weakness. Fans who were used to Yao Anna’s bold and enchanting smile felt a pang of sadness and, at the same time, intense anger!
“Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to watch my video. I apologize for wasting three minutes of your time. Please stop misunderstanding my sister. I hope everyone will focus more on my work. I believe we will meet again soon in Phoenix Rebirth. Thank you to the fans who have always silently supported me. I love you all!”
At the end of the video, Yao Anna formed a heart shape with both hands, revealing ghastly bluish-purple finger marks on her fair skin, as if she had been strangled!
After the playback ended, Yao Guangming’s hands were trembling. He scrolled down to the comment section—
