Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 169 I'm Not Going to Be a Sucker

Jiang Xue asked in surprise, "How much?"

"One million, Mom! No way, I'll go find that person this afternoon!"

Jiang Xue grabbed her, exasperated, "Rou Rou, are you stupid? The Nan family is desperately short of money right now. Throwing a million on this is a complete waste. Besides, your father has a murder case on his hands. What if he really is the mastermind? Wouldn't all this money have been wasted? And besides..."

Jiang Xue gazed out the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes cold and ruthless. "My daughter and I have suffered so much in the Nan family for so many years, barely making any money, and in the end, we had to use it all to bail him out. So tell me, what have we been busy with all this time? Why should all the benefits go to that bitch Nan Wu? If anyone should be rescued, she should be the one to do it; if anyone should pay, she should be the one to pay. Isn't she the young mistress of the Xiao family now? A mere million yuan is something she can easily come up with, right? Go find her!"

These words were like a wake-up call. "Mom is right. Since the imposter has gotten so many benefits from the Nan family, then let her handle this matter!"

The mother and daughter hit it off immediately, and after a final discussion, they dismissed all the servants in the house and sold all their belongings, leaving only the house as their only valuable possession.

Next, Jiang Rourou had to deal with the bastard in her belly. She called Qian Xingjie, but that bastard hung up on her.

As expected, you've already turned your back on me. It hasn't been that long, and you're not answering your phone anymore. Did you really think I wouldn't be able to find you just like that? You underestimate me, Jiang Rourou.

Sure enough, Jiang Rourou found Qian Xingjie at the hotel he frequented.

"Qian Xingjie, what do you mean? You think you can hide from me forever?" Jiang Rourou shouted loudly, regardless of where she was, deliberately drawing everyone's attention to Qian Xingjie.

Qian Xingjie gave an awkward smile to the guest who looked over, then turned back with a sinister expression, "Jiang Rourou, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Jiang Rourou gave her a cold look. "Who told you to avoid me? What, you're turning your back on me after you've eaten? Do you really think I, Jiang Rourou, am a free lunch?"

Qian Xingjie leisurely swirled his wine glass, dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, exuding a dashing and debonair air. At first glance, he appeared to be a refined and proper young nobleman, but only Jiang Rourou knew just how perverted this man in front of her truly was.

Upon hearing this, Qian Xingjie looked at her with a smile in his light brown eyes. "We're all adults. We should be able to let go. Besides, this isn't your first time, and it's not my first time either. We each get what we need and enjoy ourselves. Are you really going to take it seriously? Are you so immersed in it that you can't extricate yourself? Or have you fallen in love with me?"

"I..." Jiang Rourou was speechless. "What nonsense are you talking about? Me, falling in love with you? Let me tell you the truth, I'm pregnant, it's your child. Tell me, how are you going to handle this?"

Qian Xingjie, who was drinking from his glass, froze upon hearing this. He slowly turned his head, his gaze quickly sweeping over her lower abdomen. "What did you say? Pregnant? That's impossible. I've never made a mistake in this kind of thing, Jiang Rourou, don't try to fool me!" Qian Xingjie said with a smile, his words full of conviction.

Jiang Rourou was speechless. "Even with a condom, things can go wrong. What about when you don't use one? Unless you say you're infertile, I'm pregnant now, and you can't deny it!"

Qian Xingjie put down his wine glass, took out a bank card from his wallet and tossed it to her. "Two hundred thousand. Find a place to abort the child. The rest is for your nutrition expenses. I guess I'm just unlucky, but I'm still willing to do things that are good for others!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rourou became angry, grabbed his clothes, and wouldn't let him leave. "What do you mean by that? Do you think I would do that to scam you out of this little bit of money?"

Qian Xingjie brushed her hand away with a look of disgust. "Jiang Rourou, you know how many men are around you. What makes you think this child is mine? I'm not going to be a sucker!"

After saying that, he pushed her away and left.

Jiang Rourou stomped her foot in anger and raised her hand as if to throw the thing he had given her away, but then belatedly stuffed it back into her bag.

Two hundred thousand is what she deserves, so why not take it? As for Qian Xingjie, she'll just consider it as if she'd been bitten by a dog.

Quickly pull out your phone, "Hello, is this the Women and Children's Hospital? I need to schedule an abortion..."

The Xiao family's old residence. "Wait a minute, this is my young lady's favorite piano. If it gets damaged, you won't be able to afford to pay for it even in your lifetimes!" Nan Wu hadn't played the piano for a while and her hands were itching to play, so she ordered one from abroad. Xiao You was directing the workers to carry it upstairs.

As she watched her carefully chosen beloved piano about to be delivered, Nan Wu couldn't hide her joy.

Finally, she was no longer bored. After thinking about it, she decided to stop playing Su Ying. She was clearly the real eldest daughter of the Nan family, so why should she imitate someone else? From now on, she would be herself again.

"Miss Nan!"

“You…” Nan Wu looked at the girl with the sweet smile in front of her and quickly recognized her, “Fifth Miss!”

"Is this a piano that was moved? You have this hobby? I've never heard you mention it before!" Xiao Ruonan craned her neck to look upstairs.

Nan Wu explained naturally, "I was busy with wedding preparations at that time, so..."

"Not bad, not bad, Miss Nan is so talented! I like you more and more!" Xiao Ruonan suddenly rushed over and took Nan Wu's arm. "When I was little, my grandfather always forced me to learn this and that, saying that girls should be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But I couldn't learn anything, and I wasn't interested in anything. Who said that girls have to learn these things? They're so useless. It would be more practical to learn some self-defense techniques!"

Nan Wu didn't like having her arm linked with like this, and tried to push her away several times but failed.

Xiao Ruonan noticed her little action and frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"

Nan Wu apologized and explained, "I'm sorry, I don't like it when people do that!"

Xiao Ruonan was even more puzzled, "But you used to say that you especially liked me like this, and that you sometimes linked arms with other people like this too!"

Nan Wu: "..."

"Miss, your medicine is ready!" Seeing her mistress in a difficult situation, Xiaoyou quickly stepped in to change the subject.

"Miss Nan, are you feeling unwell? Why are you taking medicine?"

"My young lady, she..."

Nan Wu interrupted Xiao You, "It's nothing, it's for conditioning my body!"

Xiao Ruonan nodded knowingly, "Alright then, you go ahead and get busy, I'll come find you again next time!"

"Fifth Miss!" Nan Wu called out to her instinctively, "Um, I haven't seen Fourth Master much lately, is he away on a business trip?"

"Oh, you mean Fourth Uncle? Yes, I heard he's been gone for several days. Dad called him but he didn't come back. I don't know what he's busy with. Miss Nan, is there something you need to see him about?"

Nan Wu said nervously, "No, it's nothing!"

As he left, Ning Zhiyuan, who was a step behind, gave Nan Wu a deep look.

After they left, Nan Wu finally felt a great weight lifted from her chest.

"Miss, please stay away from that Xiao Ruonan in the future. I feel she's quite shrewd; she seems to have figured something out!"
