Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 156 Stop shouting

Business district networking events are often more exciting than celebrities walking the red carpet. Rows of luxury cars are parked in the open space in front of the hotel, all of which are the most prized possessions of the business, all for the sake of prestige. It's as if whoever drives the cheapest car is of lower status.

Nan Wu attended the event arm in arm with Xiao Jiayang. She was not used to such occasions and was initially very reserved and unable to relax.

Her appearance immediately drew Xiao Jiayang's disdain, and he abandoned her and went elsewhere.

Strange, Nan Wu wasn't like this before. She seemed to be surrounded by light, attracting attention wherever she went. At the same time, she was confident, poised, sexy, and alluring. He was almost captivated by her. How come she doesn't have any of her former charm now?

"Young Master Xiao!"

"It's you?" Xiao Jiayang frowned, glanced around, and sneered, "Did you come to the wrong hall? This doesn't seem to be a place where your Nan family is qualified to enter?"

Jiang Xue pulled several strings to get this ticket, all so that her woman could also enter the upper class. Even if Xiao Jiayang was gone, there was still Zhang Jiayang and Li Jiayang. If her daughter was lucky enough to marry into a super-rich family, then she and her daughter would no longer have to rely on the Nan family, this dying old tree.

Jiang Rourou dressed up in a flamboyant way, hoping to be the center of attention, but to her surprise, the result was completely different from what she had imagined; no one noticed her at all.

So, where did she go wrong?
"Young Master Xiao, I'll say it again: be careful of the woman beside you. The more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious she is. She's like a venomous snake; she might turn on you one day!"

Xiao Jiayang knew Jiang Rourou all too well; she was extremely competitive and jealous. He scoffed, "Mind your own business!"

“I’m serious, you must… Ugh…” A strong feeling of nausea surged up, and Jiang Rourou couldn’t hold back any longer. She pushed past him, lifted her skirt, and ran to the bathroom.

Xiao Jiayang narrowed his eyes, sensing something was wrong, and followed them the next second.

Jiang Rourou straightened up after vomiting, and looking at her pale face in the mirror, which looked like a ghost, she quickly took out the mirror to touch up her makeup.

Suddenly, her wrist was pulled forcefully, and the mirror fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Jiang Rourou, you bitch, you actually had a trick up your sleeve!"

Jiang Rourou was completely confused. "Young Master Xiao, what are you talking about?"

Snapped!
Xiao Jiayang slapped Jiang Rourou across the face, and she spun around on the spot before collapsing onto the sink. The next second, Xiao Jiayang grabbed her hair from behind and forced her to look up.

"Xiao Jiayang, let go..."

"Are you pretending with me? Jiang Rourou, how dare you get pregnant with my child? You did it on purpose, trying to kill me, didn't you?"

Jiang Rourou fell into the ice cave, her whole body jolted, and her breathing stopped.

"What? I... I'm pregnant?"

"You're such a damn good actress!" Xiao Jiayang was furious and threw her far away.

Jiang Rourou fell to the ground, and a sharp pain quickly shot through her lower abdomen.

No wonder I've been having a poor appetite and feeling nauseous lately. So, I'm pregnant? That can't be! Xiao Jiayang is very careful about this; although he's a womanizer, he always uses condoms. It's that Qian Xingjie who's different…

Thinking of this, Jiang Rourou gasped.

"Jiang Rourou, I never knew you were so cunning! You really think you can win me back by using this bastard? Let me tell you, even if you die in front of me, I won't have any regrets!" Xiao Jiayang spun around on the spot, cursing. Finally, he came up with a perfect plan. He grabbed Jiang Rourou and pulled her up from the ground. "Come on, let's go to the hospital and get rid of this bastard!"

"I'm not going, I'm not going..."

Once they get to the hospital, Xiao Jiayang will definitely know the gestational age of the fetus, and he will never let her off the hook then.

"You have to go, whether you like it or not, it's not up to you!" Xiao Jiayang warned through gritted teeth. "Jiayang!" Chen Wanru came looking for him.

Seeing this, Jiang Rourou took the opportunity to slip away.

Xiao Jiayang casually straightened his coat, "Mom!"

"Isn't that Jiang Rourou? How come you're getting involved with her again? Did you ignore what I said? You shouldn't get involved with a woman like that!" Chen Wanru recognized her at a glance and her face immediately darkened.

Xiao Jiayang took his mother's arm, looking like a dutiful son, "Mom, how could I not listen to you? It's already broken up. She was the one pestering me just now, it has nothing to do with me!"

Chen Wanru curled her lip, "Hmph! Girls from humble backgrounds like her will do anything for wealth and status. Stay away from her in the future!"

"I know, Mom!"

"Also, hurry up and find your wife. She's like a country bumpkin who's come to the city. She just walked in and disappeared. She doesn't know anything about husband and wife being in harmony. She doesn't understand any manners. You'd better find her and bring her back right now!"

After being reminded by her, Xiao Jiayang realized that he hadn't seen Nan Wu for quite a while. "Okay, Mom, I'll go find her right now!"

At that moment, Nan Wu was stopped by a man she had never seen before.

"Su Ying, how dare you come here? Don't blame me for not warning you, Ke'er will be here tonight too!"

Nan Wu's attention, however, was focused on Qian Xingjie's face. "Who are you?"

Qian Xingjie paused for a moment, then burst into uncontrollable laughter. "Su Ying, do you really need to be like this? I saved you before, do you really think it's righteous of you to be so wary of me?"

He called her Su Ying!
Nan Wu then remembered that Su Ying's notes reminded her that if she encountered anyone from the Qian family, she should stay as far away as possible and avoid any direct confrontation.

She was thinking at the time that it might be Su Ying's mortal enemy, but why would Su Ying's mortal enemy want her to hide from him?

"What Su Ying? I am Nan Wu, the eldest daughter of the Nan family and the eldest grandson-in-law of the Xiao family. If you don't recognize me, you can search for me online. Don't call me that!"

Qian Xingjie clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he almost choked. "Fine, fine, you can say who you are, but Qian Ke'er won't believe you! If you're smart..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and Qian Xingjie, not knowing what he had seen, lost his smile.

Nan Wu followed his gaze.

Qian Ke'er walked towards them with an extraordinary aura, like a queen, and finally stopped in front of them.

She looked at Nan Wu, and Nan Wu looked at her too, her mind racing to search for the information Su Ying had left behind.

Could this girl be...?

"Ke'er, what brings you here?"

Qian Xingjie's words confirmed Nan Wu's guess, but she refused to dodge or avoid it. She was the eldest daughter of the Nan family, a true heiress, and she didn't believe that this man surnamed Qian would dare to do anything to her.

Qian Ke'er didn't even glance at him, her gaze fixed on Nan Wu, her eyes filled with malice. "You think seducing my brother will change the outcome? You're sorely mistaken. Su Ying, I told you, I'll make you pay. In one minute, tonight, in this beautiful hotel, in front of everyone, I'll expose your false identity. Then, you'll be kicked out by the Xiao and Nan families like a dog. Don't you think that's a wonderful ending? Hahaha..."

Seeing this woman laughing like a madwoman, Nan Wu instinctively took two steps back in fear, raising her hand to adjust the diamond hair clip tucked behind her ear. "I don't understand what you're saying, please move aside!"

It was precisely this action of adjusting her hair clip that almost cost her her life.

Qian Ke'er's gaze immediately locked onto the hair clip, and the next second, she ripped it off along with her hair.
