Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 229 Things are changing

Haicheng.

Jiang Rourou has recently gained ten pounds, and looking at herself in the full-length mirror, she feels extremely self-conscious.

This is no one's fault but her diet has been too good lately. She's been eating too much all day long, either taking supplements or on her way to take supplements, stuffing all sorts of meat and fish into her mouth. She almost threw up.

"Alright, Rou Rou, you don't need to worry about your figure right now. The most important thing is the baby in your belly. Once the baby is born, you can become the young mistress of the Qian family because of your son. You can lose weight then. It won't make a difference if you lose a few more days!"

Seeing that she was restless, Jiang Xue tried to comfort her.

Jiang Rourou's weight gain is partly her fault; she has her sister-in-law cook all sorts of delicious food for her every day, no wonder she's gained weight.

Jiang Rourou stroked her belly, still worried, "But I look so ugly now, I can't fit into many clothes, what if Young Master Yi dislikes me?"

Jiang Xue smoothed her hair and said, "Silly girl, you are the mother of his child. Even if he dislikes you, what can he do? He has to endure it. Even if you are beautiful and young, it doesn't mean he will only be interested in you for the rest of his life. Listen to me, what you need is status and position. With these, who cares who he loves!"

These words made Jiang Rourou realize something. "Mom is right. All I want is the title of the young mistress of the Qian family!"

Qian Xingjie came over and picked up the sleeve that had been left there. Seeing that he was dressed neatly and very formally, Jiang Rourou couldn't help but ask him about it.

"Young Master Qian, are you attending some important event tonight?"

Qian Xingjie tidied himself up in front of the dressing mirror, and then replied to her, "I have some business to attend to at the Xiao family's place!"

Upon hearing the name of the Xiao family, Jiang Rourou's eyes lit up. She happily circled around to him and said coquettishly, "Young Master Qian, I also want to go to the Xiao family. Can you take me with you?"

Qian Xingjie gave her a disdainful look. "You? Forget it! It's inconvenient with that big belly!"

That's what he said, but in reality, he felt that Jiang Rourou's current state was embarrassing for him, and he didn't want to make his relationship with Jiang Rourou public for the time being. Before the child was born, no one knew what would happen.

"No, the doctor said the second trimester is very safe, and he even encouraged me to move around more. Look at me, I've been staying home every day because you told me to, and I've gained ten pounds. I'm so bored! The doctor also said that a good mood is good for the baby's development!" Jiang Rourou said it all, but anyway, she just wanted to go to the Xiao family.

Qian Xingjie grew impatient with her nagging and had no choice but to agree. First of all, what he valued most right now was the child in Jiang Rourou's belly.

Stepping into the Xiao family's gate, Jiang Rourou straightened her back and stroked her lower abdomen in a serious manner. Although she wasn't showing much yet, she deliberately put on maternity makeup, as if she wanted the whole world to know that she, Jiang Rourou, was pregnant.

She held Qian Xingjie's wrist, her face radiating smugness and superiority; anyone who didn't know better would think she was the lady of the house.

The old butler greeted Qian Xingjie and instructed someone to take them to the main building. As Jiang Rourou passed by him, she snorted arrogantly.

The old butler looked surprised; he seemed to have seen this person somewhere before…

Nan Wu had just come out of her apartment building when she ran into this couple, and she was taken aback.

I'd heard from Nan Dongxue that Jiang Rourou and the young master of the Qian family were getting together. So it's true? "Oh! Isn't this Miss Nan?" Qian Xingjie stopped, his gaze on her suggestively. Nan Wu unconsciously took a step back, looking disgusted, but as a lady from a prestigious family, she still nodded and greeted him, "Young Master Qian!"

"Young Master Qian, you go first, don't delay important matters. I want to catch up with my sister!" Jiang Rourou emphasized the words "catch up with my sister."

After Qian Xingjie left, she dropped the pretense and her expression changed in an instant. "See? I'm Qian Xingjie's fiancée now. Young Master Qian spoils me rotten. The child in my belly will be the heir of the Qian family in the future. Do you know what that means? What goes around comes around, hahaha!"

For Jiang Rourou, this was the happiest thing in her life.

Nan Wu looked at her with great incomprehension, "Jiang Rourou, don't be fooled by Qian Xingjie. I can tell he's no good. Even though you haven't been very kind to me, I'm still giving you a friendly warning. Don't regret it later!"

Jiang Rourou snorted coldly and pouted, "Don't think I don't know you're just jealous of me. You're afraid I'll live a better life and have a higher status than you in the future. Nan Wu, stop pretending in front of me. Speaking of which, I should thank you for taking Xiao Jiayang away. Whoever wants that scum can have him!"

As she spoke, she swept her disdainful gaze over Nan Wu, "Ten years east of the river, ten years west of the river, from now on, you, Nan Wu, only deserve to be trampled under my feet!"

After saying that, he walked away arrogantly.

Nan Wu was so angry that her face turned red, but she dared not refute it, nor was she able to. She was used to being bullied by Jiang Rourou and her daughter in the Nan family, and she was still afraid of them.

Qian Xingjie's visit to the Xiao family to see Old Master Xiao was solely for the sake of Qian Ke'er and Xiao Shen's matter.

He came on behalf of the Qian family, ostensibly to show concern for Xiao Shen's recent whereabouts, but in reality, he was putting pressure on Old Master Xiao and indirectly on Xiao Shen, to get him to take a stand on Qian Ke'er.

Both families were prominent and influential, and neither wanted to offend the other. The conversation at the table was all polite and to the point. After the meal, the old man invited them to stay for dinner at the Xiao family's house.

Jiang Rourou was overjoyed; she wished there were more occasions like this so she could assert her identity.

The old man wasn't feeling well today, so he asked Xiao Jiayang to come and keep the guests company. Xiao Jiayang was honored to be given such an important position by the old man and was thinking of taking this opportunity to make a good impression, until he saw Jiang Rourou next to Qian Xingjie.

"Jiang Rourou? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Rourou took Qian Xingjie's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder with a happy expression, "Of course I came with Young Master Qian!"

"Oh, so you two know each other. That makes things easier. Young Master Xiao, let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Rou Rou!"

Xiao Jiayang's face cracked after hearing Qian Xingjie's words.

Jiang Rourou has actually become Qian Xingjie's fiancée?

After the meal, Qian Xingjie went to say goodbye to Grandpa Xiao, and Xiao Jiayang dragged Jiang Rourou to a secluded place.

"Jiang Rourou, what tricks are you playing now? Tell me, how many times did you sleep with Qian Xingjie before he cooperated with this act? Fiancée? Ha! Do you think I'd believe that?"

Jiang Rourou shook off his grip and looked at him as if he were trash. "Xiao Jiayang, don't think all men are as tasteless as you. Qian Shao and I are in a free-love relationship and we truly love each other. Let me tell you, Qian Shao is so good to me. He buys me whatever I want, afraid that I'll be wronged. We're getting married soon, and then I'll be the young mistress of the Qian family. You'd better be polite to me, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
