Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 143 Justice
"Xiao Jiayang, you're hurting me! Let go!"

"Tell me, when did you call me? How come I didn't know about this? Nan Wu, what have you been doing behind my back?" As if he had thought of something, Xiao Jiayang tightened his grip. "Tell me, were you out fooling around with some other man?"

Nan Wu pulled her hand away, leaving a clear row of Wu Zhiyin marks on her fair wrist. She rubbed it and said lazily, "You have countless girls yourself, so why can't I mess around with men? Everyone has physical needs, right? Besides, didn't we agree that we'd each do our own thing and not interfere with each other? Is your memory that bad?"

"Wait a moment!"

Nan Wu closed her eyes, extremely impatient, "What else are you doing?"

"Last night, my fourth uncle was caught doing something unspeakable in his car with a woman, and it even became a trending topic. Do you know who this woman is?"

Xiao Jiayang stared intently at Nan Wu, afraid of missing any expression on her face.

He looked at the photo several times. Although the photo only showed the woman's blurry profile, he felt that it was very familiar.

Nan Wu laughed speechlessly, "Xiao Jiayang, are you sick? To be honest, I really want to be your aunt. Why don't you talk to your fourth uncle about it?"

Xiao Jiayang opened his mouth, but was rendered speechless by the retort.

Her expression didn't seem fake, but, but, however, the woman in the photo did look very similar to her. Could it be... that he was wrong?
After breakfast, Nan Wu was summoned to the study by Old Master Xiao.

Old Master Xiao has been in poor health lately, and Nan Wu hasn't seen him much since she married into the Xiao family. His sudden summons has made the second and third branches of the family both envious and suspicious.

"The old man is in such a hurry to see Nan Wu as soon as his health improves. What does that mean? Are we that useless?"

"Nan Wu is no simple girl!"

"Otherwise, why not choose her as the eldest grandson's wife? In my opinion, apart from being pretty, she doesn't have anything else to offer!"

Hearing this, Chen Wanru was extremely proud. Although her son Xiao Jiayang was disappointing and had little presence in the Xiao family, her daughter-in-law was capable, which gave Nanwu some value.

Of course, she didn't tell anyone except her eldest son's family about Nan Wu not coming back last night. After all, it wasn't a respectable thing, and she didn't want the whole family to be embarrassed because of this daughter-in-law.

"Grandpa!" Nan Wu put away her usual sharpness and thorns, transforming into a well-behaved and sensible granddaughter-in-law.

A short while later, the old man fell asleep in the rocking chair. The sound woke him up, "Is Xiao Wu here?"

Nan Wu quickly went over and helped him move to a grand chair.

"Good child, Grandpa hasn't been feeling well these past few days and hasn't had time to see you. There are a few things I haven't had a chance to tell you. Marrying Jiayang has made you suffer!" The old man held Nanwu's hand tightly. Perhaps because of his illness, the old man looked much worse than before.

Nan Wu was flattered and overwhelmed. "Grandpa, you're too kind. It's my good fortune to be able to join the Xiao family!"

"Good, good, that's good!" The old man nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, girl. If any member of the Xiao family dares to bully you in the future, just tell me. With Grandpa here, I'll uphold justice for you!"

Nan Wu felt a lump in her throat.

She thought of her grandmother. When she was bullied as a child, her grandmother would comfort her in the same way. She had her grandmother's protection when she was young, and now she had Grandpa Xiao's protection. Although her identity as Nan Wu was a lie, she was very content.

She admired the real Nan Wu.

When she came out of Grandpa Xiao's room, her eyes were red.

She didn't yearn for the position of the eldest daughter of the Nan family, nor for the status of the eldest grandson's wife of the Xiao family, nor did she envy her current status and wealth. The only thing she envied and was jealous of was the person who loved Nan Wu.

Xiao Shen was also summoned by the old man. Perhaps feeling guilty, Nan Wu deliberately looked away, not daring to look him in the eye. Who knew if this man might suddenly go crazy and do something shocking?

"Fourth Uncle!"

Xiao Shen stopped beside her, hands in his pockets, looking down at her with a meaningful smile. "Miss Nan doesn't look too well. Did you not sleep well last night?"

Nan Wu: "..." Who messed with her? Who got her filmed? And now they still have the nerve to ask?

He just loved seeing her panic.

Nan Wu clenched her fists, trying to remain calm. "I've been working long hours lately and am a bit tired. Thank you for your concern, Fourth Uncle!"

A large hand patted her on the shoulder. "Yes, the work is a bit long, but young people have to be hardworking, don't you think?"

He deliberately enunciated the last few words very clearly, and Nan Wu's face turned red. She didn't dare to say another word, fearing that he might say something shocking again.

"Fourth Master, the old master is already waiting for you inside!" the old butler came over to inform him.

Seeing him finally step inside, Nanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did the old man say to you?"

The sudden sound behind her startled Nan Wu. "Oh my god, Mom, you scared me to death!"

I don't know if she saw me talking to Xiao Shen or not.

"I asked you a question, what did I say?"

Nan Wu twirled the end of her hair and said with great conviction, "Grandpa told me to keep a close eye on Jia Yang, and if he makes a mistake, he will stand up for me and seek justice!"

Chen Wanru felt completely guilty.

"Mom, I've finished eating and I'm off to work!" Just then, Xiao Jiayang came out of the restaurant.

Chen Wanru winked at him, "Perfect timing, you can give Xiaowu a ride to the company on your way. You two are husband and wife, don't act like two separate families every day. If the media takes pictures of this, who knows what they'll write!"

Xiao Jiayang glared at Nan Wu reluctantly, "Hurry up, who's going to be responsible if I'm late?"

Nan Wu rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "You think I want to ride in your car? It's just to appease you."

The two walked one after the other, with Xiao Jiayang walking faster, and soon Nan Wu was far behind.

At this moment, a car that did not belong to the Xiao family slowly stopped at the gate.

Upon seeing Qian Ke'er, Nan Wu gasped in shock. However, she had no chance to escape, because Qian Ke'er had come specifically for her.

So, all she can do now is to bite the bullet and go to meet them. This is the Xiao family, and she probably wouldn't dare to cause any trouble here.

"Miss Ke'er!"

"Young Master Xiao!"

After greeting Xiao Jiayang, Qian Ke'er's gaze swept past him and locked onto Nan Wu. She slowly walked around to Nan Wu in her high heels.

Each footstep felt like it was pounding on Nan Wu's heart, bringing a suffocating fear.

"This must be the young mistress who just entered the house, right?"

Xiao Jiayang nudged Nan Wu and reminded her with a forced smile, "Miss Ke'er is asking you a question, what are you standing there for?"

Seeing that Nan Wu wouldn't give him any face, he simply answered for her, "Yes, she is my wife, Nan Wu!"

Qian Ke'er nodded knowingly, "I've long heard that the young mistress is a beauty, and today's sights prove it's true. Young Master Xiao, you'd better watch out..."

Nanwu was so nervous that she was sweating profusely.
