Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 164 Robbed
Nanwu was startled when she saw her mother acting so unreservedly for the first time.

Seeing this, Fang Lanxin tucked her hair behind her ear to hide her embarrassment, and calmed down. "In short, don't be fooled by his fake appearance. You must think it over carefully!"

Nan Wu analyzed something and asked, "Mom, so you mean that what happened between Dad and that Chen Ruyu is true? And that he hired someone to kill her?"

Fang Lanxin evaded the question, saying, "How would I know about things that even the police officers couldn't investigate?"

After saying that, she turned to look at her daughter, "Xiao Wu, what are your thoughts now?"

Nan Wu frowned slightly, somewhat conflicted. "I still want to help him. Even though he's done so many wrong things, he's still my father!"

Fang Lanxin shook her head, "Xiao Wu, actually Nan Dongxue isn't..."

She almost blurted it out, but thankfully her last bit of reason stopped her, otherwise all her years of hard work would have been in vain.

"Mom, what are you trying to say? What happened to Dad?"

"It's nothing!" Fang Lanxin tidied Nan Wu's hair. "Xiao Wu, Mom still wants to remind you that in this world, only Mom is truly sincere towards you and will never hurt you. People are selfish. You don't need to work hard for anyone else; you only need to live for yourself. Mom still hopes you won't get involved in this matter, do you understand?"

Nan Wu nodded in agreement, but secretly she had her own plans.

Although she didn't understand why her mother kept stopping her from saving her father, perhaps she was still resentful about being kicked out of the Nan family by her father back then.

But if something happens to her father, the Nan family will fall, and the Nan clan will collapse. Just like her father said, her maternal family will be ruined, and the Xiao family will look down on her.

Nan Wu took Fang Lanxin back to the hospital. The mother and daughter got out of the car together. Just as Fang Lanxin was about to say a few more words to her daughter, several masked men suddenly rushed out and, without saying a word, dragged Nan Wu to another car.

"What are you doing? Let go of my daughter, I'm calling the police..."

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."

During the rescue, Fang Lanxin was kicked to the ground by the other party. By the time she struggled to get up, the car had already driven away.

Realizing what had happened, she immediately took out her phone and called the police.

She only has one daughter, and she just had heart surgery and hasn't fully recovered. What if something happens to her because of this...?

Fang Lanxin couldn't imagine it, so she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to her daughter.

Xiao family.

"I really am the young mistress's birth mother, please let me in, please!" Besides calling the police, getting the Xiao family involved was the second solution Fang Lanxin could think of.

The Xiao family might even be more efficient than the police. Besides, their daughter is the young mistress of the Xiao family, so they can't possibly ignore her. It's a double guarantee.

The old butler said helplessly, "I already told you that the First Madam and the First Master have gone on a long trip and won't be back until tonight. Why don't you believe me?"

"No, I can't wait until tonight, and neither can Xiaowu. Then, let me see Grandpa Xiao. I promise I'll leave as soon as I finish speaking!"

The old butler refused the request once again, saying, "The old man has just gone to bed and it's not convenient to disturb him. Besides, I can't be sure who you are, so I can't just let you in. I can't take responsibility if something happens!"

With no other choice, Fang Lanxin had no choice but to kneel down on both knees. "Please, let me in. It's a matter of life and death..." "Uncle Shen!" Xiao Shen got out of the car, a black trench coat draped over his shoulder, his black leather shoes gleaming, and his dark trousers neatly folded without a single wrinkle.

The old butler bowed respectfully to him, "Fourth Master!"

Xiao Shen took a drag of his cigarette, his gaze sweeping over Fang Lanxin's shoulder before landing on her. "Who is it? Making such a racket!"

The old butler bowed and replied, "Fourth Master, she claims to be the young mistress's birth mother and insists on seeing the first mistress and the master. I told her that the first mistress and the master were not home, but she wanted to see the old master. We have never met the young mistress's birth mother, so naturally we dared not let her go. So she..."

Hearing the old butler repeatedly call him "Fourth Master," Fang Lanxin scrambled to her feet in a panic, rushed over, and grabbed Xiao Shen's arm. "Fourth Master Xiao, I really am Xiao Wu's mother! Xiao Wu has been kidnapped..."

at the same time.

Who are you? What do you want?

Nan Wu was dragged into an unfamiliar room. Looking at the four or five masked strangers in front of her, she felt a suffocating and stabbing pain in her chest, as if she would not be able to breathe at any moment.

The masked men grinned maliciously, and one of them, the leader, said in a sinister tone, "What are we going to do? With such a beautiful and innocent girl like you right here, what do you think we grown men would do? Of course, we'd fuck you, hahaha..."

There was another round of laughter.

Nan Wu was terrified. "You...you're breaking the law. My mom will definitely call the police and arrest you all. Of course, if you let me go now, I'll pretend nothing happened!" She was just gambling; what if she won?

The leader chuckled as if he'd heard a joke, "Just wait and see if you're still so stubborn! Brothers, let's get to work!"

Nanwu saw another underling set up a camera, and her heart sank to the bottom.

"Big brother, hurry up, the brothers can't wait!" The other underlings rubbed their hands together, eager to try.

"What's the rush? One at a time!" With that, the masked leader approached Nan Wu, his smile particularly sinister in the light. "Beautiful lady, you'd better strike a good pose later, or you won't look good on camera, and don't blame me!" "Help! Don't touch me! Don't touch me, help..."

Just then, several bodyguards of similar height and build burst in and quickly subdued the masked men.

The whole process was done in one go.

Song Hao ran over and untied the ropes binding Nan Wu's hands. "Miss Nan, are you alright?"

Nan Wu was still in shock and it took her a while to come to her senses.

At this moment, a tall and imposing figure came into view, dressed in black, like a knight descending from the sky. Nan Wu slowly walked over, looking up at the man in front of her with excitement, tracing his deep features.

Nan Wu, who had been pampered since childhood, had never experienced such a storm before. Still in shock, she suddenly felt aggrieved when she saw Xiao Shen standing there, and tears fell involuntarily.

"Silly girl, look how scared you are. Don't you have any self-respect?" Xiao Shen lowered his head slightly and used his fingertips to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

Nan Wu's agitated emotions gradually calmed down. She raised her eyelashes and gazed at that handsome face, her heart seemingly filled with something.

The next second, she buried her face in Xiao Shen's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

Song Hao was startled, and the next second he quickly turned his back, not wanting to see what he shouldn't see.
