Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 247 The Child May Not Be Yours
Qian Ke'er pointed to her chest, "What about me? Brother Shen, tell me, what am I in your eyes? Is this how you bully me?"

Xiao Shen remained indifferent. "We agreed from the beginning that I could agree to marry you, but my private life is none of anyone's business!"

"I..." Qian Ke'er cried, "Brother Shen, I've been so good to you, you're the only one who makes me happy, but how could you treat me like this? I, I'm so heartbroken, sob sob sob..." Qian Ke'er covered her mouth and ran away in tears.

"You brought me here just to drive Qian Ke'er away?" Su Ying finally realized.

Xiao Shen didn't hide anything, "Smart!"

Su Ying gritted her teeth, wishing she could kick this bastard away. "Xiao Shen, are you trying to kill me? I could have lived a couple more days, but now, Qian Ke'er probably wants to tear me to pieces!"

This person is insane. If they don't want to get married, they don't have to. Why drag others down with them? It's outrageous.

Xiao Shen gave her slender waist a suggestive pinch. "Don't worry, with me here, you'll live a good life!"

Su Ying was about to cry.

The basement of a residential complex.

Hearing the key ring, Nan Dongxue hurriedly jumped out of bed.

"You bitch, why didn't you answer my calls?"

Fang Lanxin feigned guilt, "Oh, I've had several surgeries in a row lately, I haven't had time!"

Nan Dongxue glared at him and roared, "At least you should reply! I think you just don't want to talk to me!"

"How could that be? I'll remember next time!" Fang Lanxin always spoke in a calm and unperturbed tone.

She slowly rummaged through the bag she had brought in and took out some food. Since Nan Dongxue couldn't go out, Fang Lanxin usually brought him all the food he needed.

"Are you hungry? Come on..."

With a "thud," the things in her hands were knocked to the ground, scattering eggs, apples, milk, and other items all over the place.

Fang Lanxin looked down, not understanding. She glanced at him, then looked up again, staring blankly at Nan Dongxue.

That look startled Nan Dongxue.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm about to die, what's the point of eating? Where's your homemade medicine? Give it to me now, my heart is killing me!"

"Oh, this? There's another bottle in my bag!"

Ever since Nan Dongxue was pushed by Jiang Xue and then beaten by the bodyguard, he is now covered in injuries and has developed a chronic illness. He then threatened Fang Lanxin, a doctor, to get him some medicine. Fang Lanxin gave him this homemade medicine, saying that the hospital was preparing to distribute it online and that it was very good for his illness.

Nan Dongxue was initially skeptical, but after taking it once, the symptoms of discomfort were significantly reduced. After taking it several times, he felt much better. However, this medicine has a drawback: it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and the effects only last for two days. After that, the symptoms will recur.

He was in excruciating pain; it felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, making it hard to breathe, and he felt like he was about to die.

Unable to wait for Fang Lanxin, he snatched the bag, turned it upside down, and dumped the contents onto the ground. He crawled on his stomach, burying his head under the table and stretching out his arms to reach it.

Fang Lanxin stood there straight, coldly watching Nan Dongxue's pathetic and miserable state after being beaten to death, and felt a surge of satisfaction.

Nan Dongxue tilted his head back and gulped down the medicine in the bottle, almost swallowing the bottle as well. In just a few seconds, his pale face softened, and he looked much more energetic than before.

"One bottle at a time? Are you trying to kill me with impatience? Take more next time!" Seeing Fang Lanxin kneeling on the ground, busy packing her bag, Nan Dongxue kicked her in the back. "Are you mute? I'm talking to you!"

Fang Lanxin: "I understand!"

From another angle, Fang Lanxin's expression was horrified. She dusted off her bag and stood up. "Are you planning to keep hiding like this forever?" Nan Dongxue glared at her. "What do you mean?"

"Now that you've fallen to this state, Jiang Xue can't escape the consequences. I heard that Jiang Rourou is about to marry into the Qian family. When that happens, she and her daughter will become relatives with the Qian family. I think the first person they'll deal with will be you!"

"Hmph! I am Rou Rou's biological father, stop trying to sow discord!"

"I think so too. Unless she is Jiang Xue's child with another man, she would never be so heartless to you!"

"Alright, this should be enough for you for a while. I'm leaving now. I'll bring you more medicine in a couple of days!"

Fang Lanxin left, but Nan Dongxue fell into thought. He squinted, as if he was thinking about something.

On the other hand, Jiang Rourou has been living a very comfortable life lately. Every day she either sleeps at home, gets beauty treatments and goes shopping, or goes out for afternoon tea with a few of her "plastic girlfriends".

Here I am, just out of the beauty salon.

"Rou Rou, when are you going to take us to Qianjia to broaden our horizons?"

"Yeah, I heard the Qian family is the most powerful family in Baicheng, almost on par with the Xiao family. Is that true?"

"If I had Rou Rou's good fortune, I'd be secretly thrilled!"

Jiang Rourou loved hearing this, and instantly beamed with joy, "Alright, I'll give each of you a set of Nisi's skincare products!"

She can't get into the elite socialite circle, so she can only associate with these girls who haven't seen much of the world. She'll be easily satisfied with whatever they offer, since she's not very rich right now. Once she marries into the Qian family, she'll be the first to dump these low-class, superficial friends, as they'd only lower her own status.

"Oh dear, who is that? They look really smelly!"

"Oh my god, is he going to cause us trouble?"

Jiang Rourou looked over and asked, "Dad?"

"What? Rou Rou, he's your father?" Her best friend glared at her, putting invisible pressure on Jiang Rou Rou.

Jiang Rourou immediately changed her tune, "Of course not, he's just a beggar, how could he be my dad!"

Seeing Nan Dongxue closing in, Jiang Rourou quickly sent away all the sycophants around her.

"Nan Dongxue, wasn't it enough that you caused such a scene at the banquet last time? Do you want to continue embarrassing yourself here?"

Jiang Rourou pulled Nan Dongxue aside, afraid that others would see her getting close to a beggar.

"I'll just ask you one question: Has your mother ever done anything to betray me?"

Jiang Rourou was baffled. "What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, Nan Dongxue reached out and grabbed Jiang Rourou's hair. Jiang Rourou screamed in pain, but by the time she realized what was happening, he had already disappeared.

That's strange, why is he pulling his own hair?
God!

Could he be having mental problems?

As for Su Ying, Xiao Shen still only mentioned the matter of returning to Haicheng without bringing it up again. When Su Ying brought it up again, he simply pretended to be deaf.

Old Master Sheng didn't return until the afternoon. As soon as he got home, he angrily summoned Xiao Shen to his study. Those who knew the reason knew what it was about.

With a loud crash, the old man smashed the teacup. "Tell me, what exactly happened? Ke'er said you were having an affair with that Assistant Meng, and that you even kissed Assistant Meng in front of her. Is that true?"
