Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 166 Let You Experience Being Alone in an Empty Room
Xiao Shen tossed away his soiled coat with disdain, wiped his fingers clean one by one with a tissue, and left without saying a word, looking dashing.

Realizing he had caused trouble, Qi Yu quickly chased after him, "Brother Shen, I'm so sorry about today. If I had known it was this kind of person, I wouldn't have taken it even if it were free. Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'll come to your door to apologize another day!"

Xiao Shen suddenly stopped, and Qi Yu, unable to brake in time, almost bumped into him.

"Qi Yu, you've been with me for so many years, do you know why your company management skills are inferior to your brother's?"

Qi Yu was taken aback. "Why?"

"You have terrible taste!" Xiao Shen patted him on the shoulder and strode away.

Qi Yu stroked his chin. Why not? He thought those girls were alright. So cute and innocent. Anyway, he liked that kind of girl. Just because he didn't like other people doesn't mean he didn't like them.

"Brother Shen, are we going home?" Song Hao didn't go in with them tonight. He was chatting on the phone with his new girlfriend in the car. They were having a great time when he saw his boss come back with a dark face. Even his coat was gone.

Hey! Has something big happened?

Xiao Shen took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. He felt around, but couldn't find a lighter.

Song Hao, with his keen eye, lit the lighter with his own and turned to face him.

Xiao Shen took a deep breath, exhaled a smoke ring, and then spoke, "To Haicheng!"

"Oh, okay! Ah? Hai...Haicheng? Now?"

Xiao Shen glanced at him through the smoke, "Otherwise?"

"But, but it's too late to book a plane ticket now?"

"Who said we were taking a plane? Drive!" Xiao Shen raised his chin.

This completely stunned Song Hao.

My god, it takes at least eleven or twelve hours to drive from here to Haicheng. Brother Shen is really going all out to see a woman. If you really have feelings for her, just say so. You clearly want to see her, but you don't dare to say it outright. Two grown men rushing to Haicheng in the middle of the night, this is going to be a nightmare!
……

Nan Wu waited in the room until very late, finally welcoming back Xiao Jiayang, who was reeking of alcohol.

As soon as she got close, she was immediately repelled by the strong smell of alcohol on him and ran three meters away. She fanned her face in disgust and said, "Where have you been? You smell awful!"

Xiao Jiayang hiccuped. "What's it to you? What, you're upset because I'm with another woman? Humph! Serves you right. I'll make you taste what it's like to be alone in an empty room. How about that? Not good, huh?"

Nan Wu grabbed him, "Jiayang, let's not talk about this now. I have something important to discuss with you. You must know a lot of people in Ningcheng, right? Can you pull some strings and get my dad released as soon as possible? Also, you've been with Xiao's Group for so long, you must know a lot of people in banks. Can you talk to them and ask them to lend our Nan's Group 200 million yuan to tide us over?"

Xiao Jiayang brushed her hand away, looking her over as if she were a stranger. "Something's not right. I feel like something's different about you. You weren't like this before, Nan Wu. Did something happen to you?" Nan Wu touched her face guiltily, trying her best to remain calm. "Look at what you're saying. I'm still me. How could I be different? It's just that you've been busy with those people outside lately and haven't paid much attention to me, so that's why you feel this way, right?"

Xiao Jiayang shook his head. "No, although I've been drinking, I'm not confused. You've always had a bad relationship with your family, so why are you suddenly begging me? Where's your pride? Where's your self-respect? Or are you deliberately plotting something? Let me tell you, Nanwu, forget about it. I won't fall for your tricks!" Nanwu stretched out her arm to stop him. "Jiayang, we're husband and wife. My family is your family. It's just a small favor for you. Why won't you help? Are you going to watch my family's company go bankrupt and your father-in-law go to jail? What good will that do you?"

Xiao Jiayang shrugged. "Yeah, since it doesn't benefit me, why should I help? Besides, you said before that we're going to get divorced sooner or later. So why should I waste my time and take the risk?"

"you……"

“I admit, I did find you somewhat interesting before. The more you wouldn’t let me sleep with you, the more I wanted you. But now…” Xiao Jiayang’s gaze swept over her again. “Hiss… you seem to have turned back into the boring, dull, and tedious Nan Wu from before, like a block of wood, without personality or liveliness. Sleeping with you is less appealing than hugging an inflatable doll, hmph!”

"Xiao Jiayang, you've gone too far. If you don't want to help, fine, but how could you insult me ​​like this?" Nan Wu bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.

Xiao Jiayang didn't even glance at her, slammed the door, and went into the bathroom.

Su Ying, Su Ying, it's Su Ying again. She just doesn't understand what's so special about Su Ying. She clearly has the same face as her, so why is she so likable?
The next morning, Nan Wu planned to visit Chen Wanru and her husband again, hoping they would help the Nan family out of consideration for their relationship with the Nan family.

After finally getting Chen Wanru downstairs, Nan Wu greeted her with a smile, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you..." She was interrupted by Chen Wanru halfway through her sentence, "By the way, be careful lately, and don't go to your parents' house too often, so that you don't get implicated and cause trouble for our Xiao family!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Wu swallowed back what she was about to say.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't your teacher teach you to be filial to your parents and considerate of others? Hurry up and help the servants prepare breakfast, I'm starving!"

"Okay, Mom, I'll go right now!" Nan Wu felt aggrieved, but her personality wouldn't allow her to argue.

Seeing Xiao Jiayang approach, Chen Wanru seized the opportunity to vent her anger on her son once again, "I told you we shouldn't have married that girl from the Nan family. Now look what's happened! The Nan Corporation is about to collapse, and Nan Dongxue has been accused of hiring someone to commit murder. What a mess! Why does everything bad happen to our eldest son's family? You didn't even see how the second son's family laughed at us. Tell me, there were so many good girls with good qualities in the whole of Ningcheng back then, but your grandfather insisted on marrying her. What bad luck!"

Chen Wanru spoke with great emotion, completely disregarding whether Nan Wu was present or not, or whether she had heard him.

Nan Wu was extremely distressed. Now that the Nan family was about to fall, she would inevitably be ridiculed and bullied by others in the future.

Everything was fine until that arrogant Su Ying appeared, and the Nan family underwent a complete upheaval. No one would believe it wasn't something sinister.

Therefore, she needed to find a powerful backer so that no one would dare to criticize her.

At this moment, after thirteen hours, Xiao Shen and his servant Song Hao finally arrived in Haicheng.

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen, what's wrong? Brother Shen..."

Song Hao stretched and twisted his neck a few times. When he turned around to remind his boss to arrive at the destination, he found him squinting and motionless. Startled, he quickly called out a few times.

"What are you doing? You're not dead yet, what are you yelling for?"
