Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 155 Saying Goodbye to the Past, Letting Go of Everything

Seeing the man approaching, Su Ying panicked.

"How...how did you find this place?"

Xiao Shen bent down, his arms braced on the armrests on either side of her, his muscles bulging, their lines clear and powerful, displaying the strength and wildness of a man.

"Nan Wu... oh no, I should call you Su Ying. You're really something, managing to fool me completely, and you think you can just walk away? Do you really think you can escape my grasp? Su Ying, you're so naive!"

His eyes were blazing with fire, as if he could destroy everything at any moment.

Su Ying's shoulders trembled, and she didn't dare to meet his gaze, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to lie to you, I had no choice! Besides, Fourth Master, you don't seem to have lost anything. I didn't cheat you out of money or your virtue, right, Fourth Master?"

The man laughed hoarsely, as if he'd heard a huge joke, but his eyes held no mirth. "You liar! No one in this world would dare to lie to me like that! No one!"

His gaze was fixed on her, his voice deep, cold, and powerful, and the veins on his neck were faintly visible. He was angry and furious.

The next second, he grabbed Su Ying by the neck.

As his hand tightened, oxygen was gradually robbed from Nan Wu's body. Her face turned red, her eyes bulged, and she was about to suffocate.

She kept hitting him, scratching him, and clawing at him, but to no avail.

"Those who play tricks on me will never have a good ending. Die, Su Ying!"

"No, Fourth Master, I didn't mean to..."

"Sakura, Sakura? Wake up..."

Amidst a swaying motion, Su Ying opened her eyes.

Looking around, his gaze finally settled on the magnified face in front of him, and he let out a long sigh.

"Had a nightmare? You look so pale, you scared me to death! Here, have some water to calm your nerves!"

Su Ying sat up, gulped down the water in her cup, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and spoke after a long pause, "Su Wen?"

Su Wen was fiddling with his phone when he heard this and looked up.

"Do you think those people in Ningcheng who were deceived by my fake identity will come looking for revenge?"

"Who?"

Su Ying broke down, "Never mind who it is, just answer whether you can or can't?"

Su Wen continued fiddling with his head down, "That depends on whether they suffered any losses. If you cheated them out of money or sex, they'll definitely come after you for revenge. If they didn't suffer any losses, they might not bother you, at most they'll just feel annoyed!"

Su Ying deflated like a punctured balloon; she was finished.

Given Xiao Shen's vengeful nature, he would definitely come looking for him. But then again, he's so busy with his affairs, he probably wouldn't have time.

Su Wen noticed something was wrong with her and leaned over with a gossipy look on his face, nudging her arm. "What's going on? Who did you seduce? Tell me, I'll help you decide!"

Su Ying rolled her eyes, lay back down, and stared blankly at the grapevines above her head. "The matter of Ningcheng is over. Let's not mention it again!"

Su Wen seemed to understand something, then nodded, "That's true! If you don't want to go abroad, then don't. I think that's a good idea. Once this situation calms down, we'll take Grandma on a trip!"

On this point, the siblings agreed. Su Ying touched her phone, but ultimately forced herself to put it back.

Say goodbye to the past, let go of everything!
……

That evening, Nan Wu obediently transferred the money to Jiang Rourou's account. This was all the pocket money Fang Lanxin had given her. As long as it could resolve the big issues and the small issues, the money was well spent.

The next day, there was an exchange meeting in the business district. All those who were invited were people of a certain status in Ningcheng's wealthy circles.

Although it's called an exchange meeting, it's actually a social gathering, designed to help each wealthy family meet new potential clients.

This is Nanwu's first social event since her return. Previously, she was a homebody, had social anxiety, and poor communication skills. She rarely attended any events with Nan Dong and the others.

But things are different now. As the eldest grandson's wife of the Xiao family, it is her inescapable responsibility to accompany her eldest grandson, Xiao Jiayang, to social occasions. She can't refuse.

Nan Wu is traditional in her thinking. Especially after Su Ying told her that her husband Xiao Jiayang and Jiang Rourou had been having an affair, and that he was even messing around outside, she found it even more unacceptable. However, thinking of her responsibilities, she was willing to turn a blind eye and try to influence Xiao Jiayang, so that he would turn back from the brink and live a good life with her.

Seeing Nan Wu walk out of the fitting room, Xiao Jiayang froze for a moment, then put on a disgusted expression and sneered, "Dressed so conservatively, Nan Wu, what trick are you playing now? I haven't abused you, there's no need to cover yourself up so tightly, making others suspect me, is that how you seem noble?"

Nan Wu looked down at herself and explained sincerely, "Jiayang, I didn't, I just..."

"Alright, alright, don't think I don't know what you're thinking and that you can't stand to see me doing well, huh? Don't worry, I only have affairs in private, it won't affect the facade of our harmonious marriage. And you too, if you dare let others know that you're messing around with other men, I won't let you off the hook!"

Nan Wu opened her mouth, then turned her head away, silently holding back tears.

Chen Wanru knocked on the door and came in, "Xiao Wu, you'd better dress up today..."

When she saw Nan Wu's attire, she paused for a moment, then snorted, "You haven't wasted your time learning manners from your teacher. From now on, dress like this. As a married woman, don't dress so flamboyantly in public. As the eldest grandson's wife of the Xiao family, everyone is watching your every move. Always maintain a dignified and elegant demeanor!"

Su Ying has a flamboyant personality and a slender figure. Any outfit she wears accentuates her curves. Moreover, she has a unique eye and great taste. Any piece of clothing she wears will attract the attention of wealthy socialites and even rich ladies who will privately inquire about the brand. It can be said that Su Ying can even be called a fashion icon for wealthy women.

But Chen Wanru didn't like her daughter-in-law being so flamboyant. How could a woman overshadow her husband and mother-in-law?

But to everyone's surprise, she performed so well today, which was completely unexpected for Chen Wanru.

Nan Wu obediently bent down, "Okay, Mom!"

Chen Wanru gave a light "hmm," and said, "Alright, it's about time. Get ready and let's go. Being late will make us a laughingstock!"

"Yes, Mom!"

Chen Wanru pulled her son over, "What's going on between you two lately?"

Xiao Jiayang loosened his tie. "Mom, what do you mean by this?"

"Nothing, I just feel... um... your wife seems much more obedient lately. She used to always argue with me. Son, you didn't hit her, did you? She may not be presentable, but we won't do anything like domestic violence, especially if your grandfather finds out..."

Xiao Jiayang interrupted impatiently, "Mom, what are you thinking about?" and then left first.

Chen Wanru wondered to herself, could it be that she was overthinking things?

But Nanwu is indeed quite different from before.

Hmm! They might have been intimidated by her mother-in-law's authority, which is why they didn't dare to act recklessly again. That must be it.
