Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 157 You Are Just My Arranged Marriage Partner

"Ah! It hurts..." Nan Wu gasped.

Where did you get this hair clip?

"Why should I tell you what's mine? Give it back!"

Nan Wu was too weak, and Qian Ke'er pushed her far away in no time. She gritted her teeth, glared at her, and growled, "I'm asking you where this hair clip came from? Tell me!"

Nan Wu had never seen such a fierce girl before, and she trembled with fear. "I...I bought it myself!"

If people find out that Xiao Shen gave her something, her reputation will be ruined.

"You're not telling the truth, are you? Musa, take her away!"

"Yes!"

Musa shoved her all the way to a deserted place, then kicked open the door of an empty room and threw her inside.

"What are you doing? If you keep this up, I'm going to call the police! Let me out!" Nan Wu burst into tears, but no matter how much she shouted, the other party seemed not to hear her.

"I'll ask you one last time, where did this hair clip come from?" Qian Ke'er held up the hair clip, her eyes wide with rage, her expression chilling, like a venomous snake, completely out of place with her makeup and appearance.

Nan Wu was so frightened by her shout that she shrank her neck and started crying.

"Was it a gift from Brother Shen? Or did you steal it from him?"

Nan Wu shook her head, tears streaming down her face, "I didn't, I didn't steal..."

Qian Ke'er's eyes were murderous. "So what? You're trying to tell me that you're Shen Ge's woman, right? Why? Why are you treating me like this? Your brother Su Wen seduced my sister, and now you're seducing my boyfriend, aren't you?"

She grew angrier as she spoke, lunging forward to grab Nan Wu's shoulders and slapping her hard across the face. "You vixen, how dare you seduce my man! I think you're deliberately trying to embarrass me. You're all birds of a feather, each one more despicable than the last! You deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"

Qian Ke'er was used to being arrogant and domineering, and liked to hit people at the slightest disagreement. When Qian Xingjie stopped her, saying, "Ke'er, you can vent your anger at home. We're at a party now. If someone sees the injury on her face..."

Musa chimed in, "Yes, Miss, please calm down!"

"This vixen dares to seduce even my people! How can you expect me to stay calm? If I don't kill her today, I'm not Qian Ke'er! Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door. "Miss Nan, are you in there?"

The room fell silent immediately.

Qian Ke'er gritted her teeth and gave up, warning Nan Wu, "If you dare to say anything out of line, we'll see!"

Nan Wu covered her face and cried as she ran out, only to bump into someone's arms.

"Fourth...Fourth Master!"

"What's wrong with your face?"

"I... I accidentally bumped into it, it's nothing!" Seeing Xiao Shen staring at her face, Nan Wu subconsciously turned her face away.

"Brother Shen!" Qian Ke'er walked over with a resentful look, holding up the diamond hair clip. "Isn't this hair clip yours? Why is it on this bitch's head? Tell me, what's going on? Is there some kind of secret between you two?"

Xiao Shen helped Nan Wu up, lazily lifting his eyelids slightly. "What secret do you want me to have with her?"

"I..." Qian Ke'er's eyes reddened as she spoke, making her look exceptionally tragic and beautiful, especially given her delicate makeup. But when her gaze fell on Nan Wu again, it suddenly turned sinister. Pointing at her, she said, "She seduced you, didn't she?" Nan Wu, her voice trembling with sobs, desperately tried to explain, "I didn't, I really didn't. Actually, the one who seduced him was..."

"Miss Nan, this is a private matter between Miss Ke'er and me. You should go back now!"

Nan Wu nodded, still shaken, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

"Stop right there! Finish what you're saying. Who was the one who seduced Brother Shen...?"

“Miss Ke’er!” Xiao Shen lowered his eyes, lazily adjusting his cuffs. “Our affairs are our own to resolve. Why drag others into it?”

"Okay, then Brother Shen, tell me, is that bitch your mistress? When did you two start dating? How far has it gone?" Qian Ke'er was used to her domineering manner at home, and she couldn't control her way of speaking and tone for a moment.

Xiao Shen slightly raised his eyelids, and a chill emanated from him.

Qian Ke'er realized she had said the wrong thing and turned her face away guiltily.

"You seem to be meddling too much. Don't forget your place; you're merely my arranged marriage partner!"

Hearing Xiao Shen address her like that, Qian Ke'er felt utterly devastated. She looked at the man in front of her with resentment, "But Brother Shen, we're going to get married in the future. I'm your lover, you should be loyal to me. What is that bitch? She's not even worth a hair on my head, and she dares to steal my man?"

"And Brother Shen, I'll tell you a shocking secret. This bitch isn't Nan Wu at all; she's actually..."

Xiao Shen interrupted her with a single sentence, "I agreed to this marriage, but I didn't agree to sacrifice my private life, Ke'er. There's no such thing as love in wealthy families. Marriage is just an exchange of interests. What they want is mutual assistance and benefit. There's no room for something as pure as love in this dirty vortex, understand?"

Qian Ke'er stubbornly shook her head, "That's not how it is. I truly love you, Brother Shen. I'm very serious about it. After we get married, we can..."

“Oh, you probably don’t know, but I…” He took a step closer, making his voice clearer and stronger, “…felt absolutely nothing to you!”

Qian Ke'er: "..."

Xiao Shen left without looking back, leaving Qian Ke'er in a disheveled state.

Qian Xingjie silently watched the spectacle unfold, while Mu Sha felt a pang of heartache, "Miss..."

"Aaaaah! Why are you doing this to me? Why?" Qian Ke'er was furious, blood seeping from her palm as she gripped the diamond hair clip...

the other side.

"Where did you run off to? I couldn't find you anywhere. Everyone else was in pairs. Are you trying to embarrass me?"

As soon as he found Nan Wu, Xiao Jiayang started grumbling and complaining with a gloomy old face.

At this moment, Nan Wu was still immersed in fear. Qian Ke'er was simply too terrifying. A girl like her would hit people at the drop of a hat. Fortunately, Xiao Shen arrived in time, otherwise her face would have been ruined.

How did Su Ying end up getting involved with someone like that? Why should I clean up the mess she left behind?

However, when she thought of the scene of Xiao Shen standing up for her, Nan Wu's heart fluttered, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, what are you doing?" Xiao Jiayang became impatient when he saw her absent-minded look. Then, he noticed something and pointed at her face, "What happened to your face?"

Nan Wu made up a random excuse to brush it off, but luckily Xiao Jiayang didn't care much about her.

She didn't see Xiao Shen again until the end of the exchange meeting. As she left, she looked around and casually asked, "Where's Fourth Master? Is he with us?"
