Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 235 I am also a victim

Nan Dongxue threatened menacingly, "Hurry up and get me something to eat, I'm starving!"

Fang Lanxin opened her mouth, "Okay, there are some nearby!"

"Hmph! You know what's going on!"

Nan Dongxue ate five bowls of beef noodles in one go, which surprised the restaurant owner.

After being expelled from Baicheng, he lived a miserable life. Penniless, he managed to beg a kind person to take him back to Ningcheng by pretending to be pitiful. If he hadn't gritted his teeth and fought with beggars to eat from garbage cans, he wouldn't be alive today.

As the chairman of the prestigious Nan Corporation, Nan Dongxue was deeply resentful that he had fallen to such a state.

"Are you full?"

"Burp~" Nan Dongxue patted his belly. "It'll do, hmph! You got a good deal this time!"

The next second, he held out his hand to Fang Lanxin, "Give me the money!"

Seeing that Fang Lanxin was sitting still, he spoke harshly, "What's wrong? Don't want to give it? Fang Lanxin, if I had been your husband before, you probably wouldn't be living a life of luxury in this world. You eat my food, wear my clothes, and spend my money. What's wrong with me asking you for some money?"

Fang Lanxin shook her head helplessly, took out her wallet from her bag, and in a flash, it was snatched away by Nan Dongxue.

"Hey you..."

"Is that all the cash you have? You're so poor!" Despite his disdainful tone, Nan Dongxue pocketed all the money without hesitation.

"In that case, I'll head back now!"

Nan Dongxue grabbed her wrist. "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"What else do you want to say?" Fang Lanxin asked expressionlessly.

Nan Dongxue arrogantly declared, "Arrange me a place to stay!"

Fang Lanxin laughed, "Where would I be to arrange things for you? Besides, we've been divorced for so long, I have no obligation to take care of you..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Are you going to make arrangements or not? If you don't care about me, I'll go to your hospital and cause trouble every day. I've lost everything anyway, so I don't care about saving face. Let's see who's embarrassed then!"

"You... fine, but don't complain about the conditions!"

……

When Nan Dong arrived at the place, he almost fainted from the stench inside.

This is not a place for humans to live in at all; it's small, dark, and reeks of mold.

"Fang Lanxin, I think you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Even dogs aren't humiliated like this! You'd better move to another spot right now, or I won't let you off easy!"

Nan Dongxue is used to living in luxurious villas and eating delicacies, so how could he possibly live in such an old and dilapidated place?

Fang Lanxin said calmly, "Mr. Nan, have you forgotten your current situation? I've already taken a huge risk by taking you in. Although the environment here isn't great, it's very secluded. If you're not afraid of being found by the police, I can find you another place!"

"you……"

Nan Dongxue knew all too well that his situation was different now. He was still a suspect in a criminal case and could not go missing without the police station's permission. However, he had just secretly gone to Baicheng and was now missing again. The police must be searching for him the whole time.

……

Su Ying received a belated text message from Qian Xingjie.

The content was about the location where her maternal grandmother was hidden, only mentioning that it was in Ningcheng.

Su Ying pressed Qian Xingjie for an answer about Ningcheng, but he didn't respond. Meanwhile, Xiao Shen suddenly changed his mind and wanted to return to Ningcheng, wanting Su Ying to come along. Wasn't that just playing with her?

She had barely escaped from that cage; going back would be like walking into a trap herself.
Fang Lanxin disagreed, Nan Wu disagreed, and many others would disagree as well, but when she thought of her grandmother being hidden in Ningcheng, she gave in.

"Fourth Master, shall I find a hotel to stay in?" Su Ying couldn't help but offer her opinion as soon as they arrived in Ningcheng.

Xiao Shen was adjusting his cuffs when he heard this. He turned his chin and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "If I'm not mistaken, Mu Sha, who's with Qian Ke'er, has already recognized you and may have sent someone to follow you all the way. Are you sure you want to stay in a hotel?"

Su Ying subconsciously looked behind the car and sure enough, she saw a suspicious head peeking furtively at them not far away.

isn't it?
Did you really recognize her?

Although Qian Ke'er is confined to her home, there's still the troublesome Mu Sha. She and Su Wen made things so bad for Qian Ke'er last time, and she won't let them get away with it.

Seeing Su Ying's uneasy expression, Xiao Shen smiled knowingly, raised his chin, and ordered the driver, "To the old house!"

Half an hour later, Su Ying stepped into the courtyard again. Everything was so familiar, as if it were still the same as before, yet it also seemed to have changed a little.

She used to be the young mistress, but now she's a stranger, not even qualified to show her face. Thinking about this, she felt nothing but heartache.

As she passed the main building, Su Ying couldn't help but peer inside. Of all the members of the Xiao family, including the Nan family, only Old Master Xiao truly cared for her. She hadn't even had a chance to show her filial piety before leaving. But when she thought that Old Master Xiao had come for Nan Wu's sake, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yes, everything she possessed and obtained in Ningcheng belonged to Nanwu; she was simply too immersed in the role.

"What? Fourth Master is back?" Nan Wu was changing her clothes when she heard Xiao You say this, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Xiaoyou nodded firmly, "That's right, I saw his car enter the house with my own eyes!"

Nan Wu twisted her clothes with her fingers, biting her lip, lost in thought.

After a while, he said, "Quick, run me a hot bath!"

"Miss, are you going to see Fourth Master? But he..."

Nan Wu looked at herself in the mirror, stroking the face that was exactly the same as Su Ying's, "If Su Ying could do it, I refuse to believe I can't!"

Su Ying had visited Xiao Shen's mansion several times before, while she was still at the Xiao family's residence. Standing here again, she looked around and frowned slightly.

Clearing her throat, she called out to the man taking off his coat, "Fourth Master, when I came in just now, several servants from the mansion saw me. I'm afraid you're bringing a strange woman back to your own residence..."

Anyway, nobody knows who she is.

Xiao Shen tossed his coat onto the sofa, unbuttoned his collar as he walked toward her, his eyes deep and his thin lips slightly curved.

Su Ying panicked immediately. She had just come yesterday, and her area was still sore. She really didn't want to come again.

Even if you go out to work for someone else, you still need to rest, right?

Moreover, regardless of whether she was injured at work or not, he didn't give her a single penny of compensation.

Su Ying instinctively backed away, until she was forced to the entrance. The man bent down and braced his strong arms on either side of her.

His eyes met hers, nose to nose.

Xiao Shen used an extremely light men's cologne, which could only be smelled when you were very close, and it smelled so good that it was captivating.

"Assistant Su, I have guest rooms here, of course, if you want to share a bed with me, I wouldn't mind!"

Su Ying was immediately embarrassed.

She just thought...
