Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 236

"Fourth Master, are you asleep?"

A soft, clear female voice broke the ambiguity of the moment.

Su Ying judged by her senses that it was Nan Wu. She looked sickly, and even her voice had that tone. Combined with her unique timbre, it was extremely seductive when she did it deliberately.

Xiao Shen turned his head to look, his brows furrowing.

Su Ying thought he would refuse, at least she would be there to avoid causing more misunderstandings, but who knew he would be like a troublemaker, wanting nothing more than to stir up trouble, "Come in!"

Su Ying hadn't expected his move; the moment Nan Wu pushed open the door, she immediately put her veil back on.

Nan Wu seemed surprised to see her there, and was clearly taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and walked gracefully to Xiao Shen.

"I heard that Fourth Master has just arrived and must be tired from the long journey. Well, I had some free time and made some hibiscus cakes. They're fresh out of the oven. Fourth Master, please have a taste to help you relax!"

Xiao Shen didn't even glance at it, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his tone indifferent, "I don't eat sweets!"

Nanwu seemed to have been prepared. "It's not sweet. I added natural seasonings, just a very slight sweetness. You'll know once you taste it!"

"Really?" His gaze drifted to Su Ying, who was trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible. "Why don't you help me try it, assistant?"

Su Ying, who was suddenly called out, was speechless.

No, if you don't want to eat, then don't. But why are you asking me to eat it for you in front of everyone? Are you afraid I'm not hateful enough?
Su Ying: "Okay!"

I picked up a piece and took a bite. Putting everything else aside, if this really is Nan Wu's cooking, then it's truly impressive.

"Mr. Xiao, it's indeed not too sweet, and the texture is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's very good!"

Su Ying's advertisements are so loud, but Xiao Shen still doesn't seem interested. He taps the coffee table with his chin and says, "Just leave it there, I'll try it when I have time!"

Someone painstakingly made desserts by hand and delivered them, and he showed such disrespect. Anyone else would have been unable to bear it, but Nanwu seemed to have an iron frame and an exceptionally strong ability to withstand blows.

She parted her lips slightly, as if about to say something, when Song Hao suddenly knocked on the door.

Upon seeing two more women in the living room, he clearly couldn't control his expression.

"What brings you here so late at night?"

Song Hao snapped out of his daze and bent down to whisper in Xiao Shen's ear.

Xiao Shen frowned and nodded, then got up, picked up his phone, and walked out. Song Hao grabbed his coat and quickly followed him.

It seems he's off to handle official business.

After he left, Nan Wu turned her suspicious gaze to Su Ying, her expression completely different from before. Now, she was filled with hostility. "I feel like you look familiar. May I ask what your name is?"

Can Su Ying tell her the truth?

"Meng Wan!" Su Ying made up, since they would never see each other again anyway.

Nan Wu's suspicion did not disappear. "Assistant Meng, haven't we met somewhere before?" "Yes, at the banquet at the Qian family's house during the day!"

"You know that's not what I meant. I meant... never mind! Maybe it's just my imagination!" Nan Wu waved her hand impatiently.

She took a few steps toward the door, then suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Assistant Meng, as the saying goes, there is a difference between men and women. No matter if you are Fourth Master's assistant or not, it is really inappropriate to appear at his private residence so late at night. Fourth Master is not single; he has a fiancée. I hope you can take this into consideration in your future work!"

Su Ying laughed, "Miss Nan, dressed so beautifully for the evening, even putting on makeup and perfume, and personally making desserts to deliver to President Xiao's residence, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"I……"

"If my assistant were to have some kind of affair with President Xiao, that would be understandable. But Miss Nan is President Xiao's niece-in-law. Being caught in the act is worse than seeing a ghost. So, Miss Nan should be more careful about her behavior, right?"

"You..." Nan Wu's face turned pale from the rebuttal, and she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal. At the same time, it felt as if a secret hidden in the shadows had been discovered, and she almost fled in panic.

Su Ying removed her veil, revealing her bright and elegant features.

Who said that Nanwu is weak-willed and not good at speaking?
She was pretty impressive just now!

That night, Xiao Shen didn't come back. Su Ying found a room to sleep in by herself. The next morning, after she finished washing up, she prepared to go out and check on her grandmother's whereabouts. Her second question was that Qian Xingjie still hadn't replied.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, a large group of people, led by Chen Wanru, barged in.

Yes, they barged in, since Xiao Shen hadn't invited them.

"Close the door, don't let this woman get away!" Chen Wanru ordered.

"Mom, that woman who was sticking to my fourth uncle at the banquet yesterday, that's her!" Xiao Jiayang pointed at Su Ying and complained.

Early in the morning, the eldest son's family heard the servants gossiping that Xiao Shen had brought a woman back last night.

Everyone knows about Xiao Shen's affair with the Qian family's daughter. Now that Xiao Shen has made such a mistake, if the eldest branch of the Xiao family can save him in time, it can be said to be a great achievement.

Old Master Xiao would then treat their eldest son's family differently, which is why Chen Wanru brought Xiao Jiayang to arrest this woman.

"What a shameless woman! How dare you seduce my fourth son! He's engaged! Don't blame us for being ruthless towards you. Guards, arrest her and take her to the police station!" Chen Wanru raised her chin, displaying the ruthlessness and aura of a mistress of the house.

“Although I am Mr. Xiao’s assistant, I am also a guest he invited!” Su Ying calmly interrupted. “First of all, you came without his permission and were uninvited. Secondly, you are disrespectful to his guests. In other words, you don’t respect Mr. Xiao at all. Aren’t you afraid of making him angry?”

Everyone looked apprehensive.

Chen Wanru, though outwardly fierce, was inwardly weak. "I'm his sister-in-law. Besides, we're only doing this for his own good, getting rid of that vixen for him. He'll definitely understand us. But you, you're up to no good. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. But you should also consider who we are!"

Xiao Ruonan had been dragged over by Chen Wanru to lend a hand, but now she couldn't stand it anymore. "Sister-in-law, why don't we wait for Fourth Brother to come back before we talk about this? We haven't figured out this woman's identity yet. What if it's a misunderstanding?"

"Fifth Aunt, you didn't see how she was clinging to Fourth Uncle at the banquet. She's definitely a vixen. Even I couldn't stand it. Fourth Uncle was bewitched by her, but we can't be bewitched by her. I think if Fourth Uncle knew how much we've done for him, he might even be grateful to us!" Xiao Jiayang spoke with such conviction that no one could refute him.

He and Chen Wanru had the same goal: to show off in front of the Xiao family and finally get their approval.

Chen Wanru chimed in, "Jiayang is right, Ruonan, you're just too kind!"

Xiao Jiayang's eyes darted around, and he came up with another dirty trick. "Mom, before we send her to the police station, why don't we take a few pictures of her and post them online so that the whole country can see what this vixen looks like and see how she can ever face anyone again!"
