Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 210 I Have a Fiancé

"Rou Rou, watch your step!"

"I know, Mom!"

Jiang Rourou put her hand on her mother's arm and stroked her lower abdomen with the other hand in a pretentious manner. In order to show off her pregnancy, she deliberately wore a maternity dress even though she wasn't showing yet, as if she wanted the whole world to know that she, Jiang Rourou, was pregnant. She was extremely smug.

"Rou Rou, you need to eat more nutritious food from now on. If you eat well, the fetus will absorb nutrients better!"

"Young Master Qian sent some nutritional supplements over a couple of days ago!"

Jiang Xue patted her forehead. "Oh dear, it really is! Look at my memory, I almost forgot. I'll have Xiao Cui stew it for you when she gets back!"

As they were swiping their access cards, a person suddenly darted out from the side, startling the mother and daughter.

Nan Dongxue felt he was almost fully recovered and insisted on being discharged from the hospital so he could settle scores with Jiang Xue and her daughter. The doctor refused his discharge application, citing his unstable condition. So, he secretly ran away in the middle of the night.

"Someone, help me..."

"Don't shout, or I'll strangle her!" Nan Dongxue grabbed Jiang Rourou's neck from behind and threatened her viciously.

Jiang Xue was speechless for a moment, then pleaded anxiously, "Dongxue, please don't hurt Rou Rou! Rou Rou is your daughter, and she's pregnant now. She can't take this kind of abuse. Please let go!"

The emotionally charged Nan Dongxue wasn't having any of it. "What does her pregnancy have to do with me? You two almost killed me before. Today, we have to settle this score! Open the door!"

Jiang Xue dared not provoke him, and opened the door with trembling hands.

Nan Dongxue dragged Jiang Rourou inside, then ordered Jiang Xue to lock the door from the inside before finally shaking her off.

"Rou Rou, are you alright?" Jiang Xue helped her daughter up from the sofa.

Seeing that Jiang Rourou was fine except for coughing a few times, he was relieved.

Jiang Rourou winked at her, and Jiang Xue nodded knowingly. She stood up and walked up to Nan Dongxue. "Dongxue, what exactly do you want? I admit I was wrong about what happened last time, but I didn't do it on purpose! Isn't it enough that I apologize to you?"

As Jiang Xue spoke, tears of repentance streamed down her face, as if they were genuine. Back then, she had used these tears to trick Nan Dongxue into bringing her back to the Nan family against all odds.

Nan Dongxue narrowed his eyes. He was a cunning old fox, and didn't believe her tricks at all. He grabbed her arm, his expression twisted, and said, "Don't give me that crap. Do you really think you're still a twenty-something-year-old girl? What do you mean, 'not on purpose'? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Luckily, I'm tough, otherwise, you really would have succeeded!"

After saying that, he threw her away violently.

Jiang Xue fell down, knocking over the things on the table.

Nan Dongxue strolled around the luxurious living room twice. "Well, you're living quite comfortably now with my money. This sofa is much more luxurious than the one in the Nan family villa. And this carpet must have been expensive too, right?"

He sat here, looked around, and then started rummaging through the freezer, eating and drinking voraciously, leaving fruit peels and cans scattered all over the floor.

He had eaten inhuman food for several days in the hospital, like being in prison; he had had enough.

"Nan Dongxue, what are you trying to do?" Jiang Xue closed the refrigerator door and growled at him.

After Nan Dongxue finished eating and drinking, he held out his hand to her, "Give me back every penny of my money, or I'll stay here and not leave. Anyway, there's food and drink here, much better than a hotel!" "You... how can you be so shameless? This isn't our house, your tantrums won't work!"

Nan Dongxue chuckled, "You're only fooling idiots. If it weren't your house, would you be living here? You just bought it with my life-saving money, damn it! I almost died in the hospital, and you guys are living the high life here! I'm warning you, not a penny of my money is spared, or I'll kick you out of here!"

As he spoke, he plopped down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked like he was determined to stay there forever.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Rourou exchanged a glance, and Jiang Rourou poured a cup of tea and handed it to Nan Dongxue.

"Dad, please calm down. What Mom and I did before was indeed wrong. You are my father, the one who gave me life and raised me. How could I be ungrateful? To tell you the truth, this house doesn't belong to me, it belongs to my fiancé!"

Nan Dongxue's expression changed upon hearing this, "Fiancé?"

Jiang Xue chimed in, "That's right! I just said that Rou Rou is pregnant. Dong Xue, you're going to be a grandfather soon! And you didn't know, did you? Rou Rou's fiancé is Qian Xingjie, the eldest son of the Qian family. It won't be long before Rou Rou marries into the family. At that time, you'll be the father-in-law of the eldest son of the Qian family, and the in-law of the Qian family. How prestigious and impressive that will be!"

"What did you say? The Qian family? You mean, the Qian family from Baicheng?"

"Yes, that's the Qian family, the most powerful family in the area, almost on par with the Xiao family!"

Nan Dongxue's expression changed rapidly, from doubt to astonishment, then to ecstasy, and finally to smugness.

"Rou Rou already has a child, so marrying into the Qian family is a done deal. At that time, not only will this house be no problem, but you can also make a comeback. Dong Xue, from now on you can just stay home and enjoy your retirement with your daughter!"

Jiang Xue kept making grand promises to him, which made Nan Dongxue overjoyed.

He turned back to look at Jiang Rourou and kept praising her, "Rourou, my good daughter, I knew you were the most capable and the most filial. When you marry into the Qian family, you must never forget your father!"

Jiang Rourou reassured him, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll definitely come to pick you up!"

"Did you hear that? Rou Rou won't abandon you, but you have to go now. We'll call you when Rou Rou has her wedding, otherwise, looking at you like this... how disgusted Young Master Qian would be if he saw you!"

Jiang Xue was right. Nan Dongxue, who had been in the hospital for a while, hadn't showered for ten days or half a month, hadn't changed his clothes, had messy hair, and a stubble beard. Even before getting close, the indescribable stench emanating from him was enough to make people squint.

Knowing his current appearance was not good, Nan Dongxue could only put his hopes of meeting his future son-in-law on hold for the time being. "Fine! I'll trust you one more time. If you dare to lie to me, we'll see!"

Before leaving, he made some harsh remarks.

After dealing with this person, the mother and daughter both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, you're not really going to bring Dad over, are you? Young Master Qian, he..."

Jiang Xue smiled slyly, "How could that be? Nan Dongxue, that cunning old fox, actually thinks he can use you to start your life anew? He can forget about it!"

Xiao Shen has returned to Ningcheng; this was firsthand information that Nan Wu learned from Qian Ke'er.

The reason was that Old Master Xiao was unwell and wanted to see his fourth son; otherwise, it would have been difficult to get Xiao Shen back.

Third Master Xiao stood by the window, craning his neck, and saw Xiao Shen's black Mercedes drive into the old mansion from afar. He quickly went to inform him.
