Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 254: Drive Out of the Xiao Family
Su Ying smiled, turned to face the eldest son's family, and asked, "What benefits did I gain from defrauding you?"

"This..." Chen Wanru was speechless.

"Speaking of which, I'm the victim, okay? Don't you all know what kind of person Xiao Jiayang is? He's out there having all sorts of wild and frivolous affairs, and I'm even afraid of catching some kind of filthy disease from him!"

The exposure of his shameful secret was like stepping on someone's tail. Enraged, Xiao Jiayang roared at Su Ying, "You bitch, you're about to die and you still want to smear me! Grandpa, what are you waiting for? Call the police!"

Su Ying pretended not to hear and continued, "One Xiao Jiayang is not enough, and Ms. Chen Wanru is no pushover either. She's always finding fault with her daughter-in-law. I've had enough. If it weren't for my grandmother, do you think I would put up with this kind of humiliation from you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who's nitpicking? You fraudster, it's one thing to be unrepentant, but to spout such nonsense is another! Guards, tie her up!"

Chen Wanru lost face in front of the second and third wives, as if she had been slapped in the face, and transferred all her anger to Su Ying.

"Wait!"

Xiao Shen descended from the sky, dressed in black. Although he seemed lazy and casual, his aura was fierce, and his arrival gave people an invisible sense of oppression.

The scene fell silent instantly, and the crowd parted to make way for each other.

Xiao Shen walked over coolly, with thick eyebrows reaching his temples, thin lips pressed tightly together, and a cigarette between his teeth. Pale blue smoke filled his surroundings, obscuring the dark color in his deep eyes.

"Miss Su staying in the Xiao family under the identity of Nan Wu was something I agreed to. Is there a problem?"

This remark sparked a lively discussion among those present.

"What? Is what Fourth Brother said true or false?"

"Wait a minute, does that mean Fourth Master already knew her identity?"

"I'm so confused, I'm so confused, what's going on here?!"

“That’s right! I did know Miss Su’s identity beforehand, and it was with my approval that she was allowed to stay in the Xiao family!” Xiao Shen repeated.

Su Ying looked up at him in surprise.

"You insolent wretch!" The old man slammed his fist on the table. "Do you even know what you're saying?"

Xiao Shen rubbed his temples. "I'm perfectly sober!"

The old man's face turned red with anger, and he nodded, "Fine, fine, you think you're so capable? Then tell me, why did you do this?"

Only the old man dared to ask the questions that others dared not ask.

"Grandpa, I'm doing this for the good of the Xiao family! Think about it, if I had just driven Su Ying away, what would people outside say? Would they say our Xiao family is heartless? That we're taking advantage of others' misfortunes and bullying the weak? Putting that aside, the fact that the Xiao family's young mistress is a fake is enough for outsiders to laugh about for a lifetime. Are we all blind and stupid, being manipulated by a woman? So, after weighing the pros and cons, I had no choice but to go along with it and let her continue her act. As for the benefits she's supposed to gain from defrauding the Xiao family, which do you think is more important—their reputation or their material possessions?"

Xiao Shen spoke slowly and deliberately, each word hitting the mark, leaving everyone present speechless in just a few sentences.

"So, according to you, our Xiao family should thank Su Ying for her contributions?" the old man retorted.

Xiao Shen shrugged. "Logically, that should be the case!"

To call black white and the dead alive—only Xiao Shen would dare to do such a thing, and only he could do it.

"That seems to make sense. As expected, Fourth Master's thinking is more comprehensive!"

"If that's the case, then we can't be too heartless. I think Su Ying was forced into this situation!"

"Things don't seem as simple as they appear. There might be other secrets behind this!"

Seeing that everyone's opinion was turning against him, Xiao Jiayang tugged at Chen Wanru and whispered, "Mom, you have to think of something!"

Chen Wanru was even more troubled than him, "Even the fourth brother is speaking up for her, what can I do?"

"Fourth Uncle, what you said makes a lot of sense, but Su Ying did deceive all of us. We can't just forgive her like this, can we? We'll compensate her for what she deserves, but she has to pay the price. I think we should just hand her over to the police so we can have some peace and quiet." Xiao Shenyi turned his head and shot a sharp look at him.

Xiao Jiayang shrank back in fright.

"Taking this to the police station is tantamount to announcing the Xiao family's shameful secrets. Are you sure you can bear that responsibility?"

"I..." Xiao Jiayang choked.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the old man. As for how to deal with Su Ying in the end, it was up to the old man to decide.

The air is stagnant.

The old man closed his eyes wearily, raised his hand and waved it a few times, "Take Su Ying to my study, I will interrogate her myself. Expel Nan Wu from the Xiao family, everyone else, disperse!"

Nan Wu felt as if her bones had been suddenly removed, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Miss, how are you?" Xiao You quickly helped her up.

Nan Wu looked sorrowful. "Why? Why can't I even compare to Su Ying? Where did I go wrong?"

study.

Grandpa Xiao wouldn't let Xiao Shen in; he wanted to talk to Su Ying alone.

The old man was over seventy years old, with age spots on his face and gray hair, but he was still strong and energetic. At this moment, he was staring at Su Ying with his cloudy and unfathomable eyes.

"Although the fourth son is rebellious and powerful, I still call the shots in the Xiao family. If you want to live, answer my questions honestly. If you dare to tell a single lie, even a god can't save you!"

Su Ying nodded, "Please ask!"

Now that things have come to this, what is there left for her to hide? She'll do anything to survive.

"Did you already have something going on with the fourth brother...?" The words the young man used were too much for Old Master Sheng to say.

Su Ying was startled and looked up.

She didn't expect that the old man already knew about it.

But now that she had nothing to hide, she nodded.

"You..." The old man was frustrated.

So that's why the fourth brother has always been hostile to Qian Ke'er!

Who can you blame if your own son is a womanizer and heartless?
"Okay, let me ask you the next question, about you and Jiayang..."

"No!" Su Ying answered quickly.

The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "One last question: if I'm willing to let you off the hook, you have to listen to me and leave Fourth Brother. Can you do that?"

Su Ying clenched her fists tightly...

Xiao Ruonan knew nothing about what happened in the Xiao family and simply enjoyed her free life.

Ning Zhiyuan seemed very busy, leaving early and returning late. Xiao Ruonan couldn't cook, so Ning Zhiyuan ordered takeout for her, always ordering from a four-star hotel. In between, Xiao Ruonan wanted to have afternoon tea, and Ning Zhiyuan ordered that for her without hesitation.

When Ning Zhiyuan returned in the evening, Xiao Ruonan was still awake and cornered him in the living room.

"Where did you go? You went out so early and came back so late."

"Nothing, just taking a walk!"
