Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 225 A Matter of Life and Death

Every second that followed was torture for her; she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her heart filled with anxiety.

Snapped!
Qian Huai'an angrily slammed the diary on the table. He slowly looked at his daughter, his expression filled with disbelief. "Ke'er, do you have anything to explain now?"

"Father, I clearly locked this diary in the drawer, but somehow it disappeared. Now, I don't know who is trying to trick me, making up stories and distorting the facts in it. I... it has nothing to do with me! Father, you must believe me!"

Although Qian Ke'er was a bit spoiled and domineering since childhood, she was not a bad person in Qian Huai'an's eyes. In fact, Qian Ling'er was even favored. Therefore, she felt that as long as she pretended to be pitiful and acted coquettishly, there was no problem that she couldn't solve.

However, Qian Huai'an's reaction was different this time. He seemed even angrier, glaring at her with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression. "I haven't said anything yet, how do you know someone is impersonating you and distorting the facts here?"

"I..." Qian Ke'er choked, speechless.

“Ke’er, I’ve watched Ling’er and you grow up since you were little. Although Ling’er is more outstanding than you, in my eyes, you are stronger, more sensible, more filial, and smarter than her. I always thought you would be more tolerant of Ling’er, but I underestimated human nature and underestimated jealousy…”

Qian Ke'er knelt on the ground and hugged Qian Huai'an's legs. "Father, I was wrong. I was blinded by selfishness and wanted to vent, which is why I wrote these things. But everyone knows how good I am to my sister. How could I have any selfish thoughts about her? It was Su Wen who wanted to harm me. He hates that he couldn't be with Ling'er back then, so he deliberately spread rumors online. It was all his doing!"

"Alright, stop explaining, Ke'er, you've really disappointed me!" Qian Huai'an, who always doted on his daughter, was truly furious this time. "From today onwards, you're not allowed to go anywhere. Stay home and reflect on your actions!"

After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered, "Also, you're not allowed to cause any more trouble for the Su siblings during this period!"

"Why? Father, Father..." Qian Ke'er stomped her feet in frustration.

Mu Sha comforted her, "Miss, you should listen to Master and stay at home for a few days. Consider it a vacation. The reason Master wants you to stop causing trouble for the Su siblings is because he's afraid this matter will escalate and become uncontrollable. It would be an irreparable loss for both you and the Qian family. Master is doing this for your own good!"

After hearing these words, Qian Ke'er's emotions calmed down slightly. She bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly. "Su Wen, I won't let you get away with this!"

the other side.

"Now Qian Ke'er can't stand it anymore, right? A despicable person like her has to be dealt with using despicable means. It's just a pity that the public opinion was suppressed by Qian Huai'an as soon as it started. She's lucky!"

Su Wen was still not satisfied and exclaimed that it was a pity.

Su Ying poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it leisurely. "Don't be too happy yet. Qian Ke'er holds grudges. She might get angry at us!"

"Ah? What should we do?"

"However, I deduce that after this incident, Qian Huai'an will definitely make sure she doesn't cause us any more trouble for a while!"

Su Wen asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

Su Ying said leisurely, "It's very simple. The online buzz surrounding Qian Ke'er hasn't died down yet. If she dares to cause any more trouble, even if Qian Huai'an steps in again, he might not be able to suppress it. Qian Huai'an is a very proud person. How could he let Qian Ke'er fool him like that? So you can rest assured. Maybe Qian Ke'er is already under house arrest and doesn't have the energy to cause us any trouble!"

Su Wen clapped and cheered, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? Humph! This time I'll make her taste the pain too!"

This time, Su Ying and Su Wen worked together to set Qian Ke'er up. Although Qian Huai'an managed to suppress the evidence of Qian Ke'er's cruel behavior that was submitted to the media, the incident eventually came to light. This had a restraining effect on Qian Ke'er. At least, she would be more cautious about committing evil deeds in the future. This was Su Ying and Su Wen's goal; they were only trying to protect themselves.

"Xiaoying, what's our next step?" Su Ying slammed down her cup, her eyes resolute. "Three days from now, we'll talk business with Qian Ke'er!"

Su Wen was worried about Su Ying and wanted to go to the hospital to take care of her, but Su Ying refused. No one had the right to agree to something that Xiao Shen hadn't asked for permission to do.

By the time she returned to the hospital, Haicheng had already been swallowed by twilight.

There were no bodyguards standing guard in the corridor, and Su Ying was secretly relieved. It seemed that Xiao Shen hadn't returned, making her worry all the way back for nothing.

I opened the door, took off my coat, and changed into a hospital gown.

Sudden.

"Where did you go?"

Su Ying was startled.

Xiao Shen leaned against the sliding door of the balcony with his hands in his pockets. Moonlight shone from behind him, casting a long shadow on the floor.

Su Ying quickly turned on the headlights, and the man's face instantly became clear, with deep features and a noble, aloof demeanor.

"Fourth Master, what are you doing here?" Su Ying asked in her mind.

Xiao Shen raised his chin. "Answer the question from before!"

Su Ying's mind worked quickly, and thankfully she was prepared. She pointed to the shopping bags she had just tossed on the table and said, "The hospital is so boring, I went out for a stroll to get some fresh air!"

"Oh? Is that so?" The more serious his smile seemed, the more unserious he actually was. His dark eyes were like bottomless whirlpools, able to see right through a person.

He suddenly walked over step by step, his leather shoes scraping against the floor, each sound like stepping on Su Ying's eardrums, causing her to unconsciously step back.

Finally, she was forced between him and the wall.

Xiao Shen suddenly bent down, staring intently at her, and held up his phone in his large palm. "You did this to Qian Ke'er, didn't you?"

Su Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly. She composed herself and smiled charmingly. "What are you saying, Fourth Master? Even if she is your fiancée, you can't just falsely accuse her!"

Su Ying spoke in the Jiangnan dialect, a soft and sweet tune, charming and alluring, melodious and captivating, with a hooked ending that made one's bones melt.

Looking at her delicate, palm-sized face and her alluring red lips, Xiao Shen felt his body temperature rise unconsciously. He pinched her chin so that her pupils could only see his own reflection.

"You've got some nerve, daring to mess with Qian Ke'er. Aren't you afraid of her revenge later? Even if you and your brother were together, she'd kill you sooner or later!"

Hearing him say this, Su Ying decided to stop pretending and lay her cards on the table. "So what if it is? My brother and I are living beings too. Rather than waiting to die, we might as well strike first. Even if we both perish, at least we won't lose out. Besides, how many people's blood has Qian Ke'er spilled on her hands? We're just doing a good deed for the people. We don't regret it at all!"

“I know you’re Qian Ke’er’s fiancé, and theoretically you’re already family. If you want to tell on her, go ahead. If you want to avenge her…” Su Ying straightened her back, neither humble nor arrogant, and with a “what’s the use” attitude, she said, “Your life is mine!”
