Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 866: Chapter 876: Still... Her Little Aunt

An Ran casually picked up a glass of red wine from the table, the crimson liquid gently swaying in her hand, just like the bloodthirsty smile on the corners of the girl’s lips.

”Are you joking?” An Ran looked up, her lips still smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

For some reason, when Yin Qianxue saw the other’s smile, her heart inexplicably tightened, almost unable to maintain her composure and escape in panic. Her hands couldn’t help but clench tighter, her back stiffened to maintain her elegant posture, trying not to appear too embarrassing.

Her small actions did not escape An Ran’s eyes, and the curve of her lips grew even wider as she spoke softly, ”I wonder if I were to call my elder sister now and tell her I don’t like this endorsement, would she take her sister-in-law’s words seriously? Oh, by the way, I am not just her sister-in-law now, but also... her younger grandaunt.”

As her words fell, even with Yin Qianxue’s strong mind, her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

As a popular A-list actress, she often mingled in high society. How could she not know that a month ago, the Shen Family had a double celebration, not only marrying into the Mu Family but also finding their granddaughter who had been lost for nearly twenty years?

Unexpectedly, this orphan girl beside Young Master Mu turned out to be the granddaughter of the Shen Family. How could this woman have such good fortune?

Although she was terrified and insanely jealous, Yin Qianxue forced a graceful smile, ”They say Miss An has a childish temper. Now it seems Miss An really is quite adorable. Perhaps Miss An doesn’t know, the Mu Family’s endorsement decisions are not solely up to President Mu. Moreover, terminating the contract would entail a hefty penalty, and Mu Family’s shareholders won’t easily agree. If things go poorly, it could even affect President Mu’s prestige. Miss An, please don’t joke with me like this.”

An Ran put down her wine glass and stood up, ”Miss Yin is indeed right. Sometimes I do enjoy throwing childish tantrums, because even if I make a mistake, there are plenty of people to clean up after me. As for the penalty, it’s just transferring it to Sun Wangbei, like I’m gifting him wine money as his sister-in-law.”

Having said that, An Ran stood up and walked gracefully to the other side.

She did not miss the fleeting malice in Yin Qianxue’s eyes.

Yin Qianxue was outwardly complimenting her, but there was a hidden threat in her words. Did she really think An Ran was a child who couldn’t understand?

If she was going to show off her power, she should check if she could actually manage it.

Watching An Ran’s slender back, Yin Qianxue felt she had underestimated her. Unexpectedly, the plain and silly girl had grown to such an extent in just half a year. Had she known this, she would have swallowed her pride since only gaining this opportunity with the Mu Family would bring her closer to the Mu Family.

An Ran and Yin Qianxue’s seemingly friendly conversation fell entirely into the eyes of Sun Xuehui and her daughter on the other side.

”Jiajia, isn’t that the big star Yin Qianxue? Last time when you were in the ’Zong Xiao’ production team, you even took a photo with her.”

”That’s her,” An Sijia looked at the two, her gaze already bloodshot.

She had long known Mu Xingfeng was a good stepping stone. If not for the relationship between Mu Xingfeng and Young Master Sun, how could such a high and cold woman like Yin Qianxue actively seek out An Ran?

She could never forget the time when she sought out Yin Qianxue for a photo to show off to classmates, only to be met with glares from Yin Qianxue’s assistant and Yin Qianxue’s feigned magnanimity.
