Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 276 Trading
"Hmph! Stop pretending with me, you and Jiang Xue both deserve to die. Tonight, we'll settle our scores and avenge our wrongs!" Nan Dongxue gritted his teeth, each sentence more vehement than the last.

"Dad, calm down, we really didn't do anything..."

"What do you want to do?" Nan Dongxue noticed in time, snatched her phone, and slapped Jiang Rourou across the face. "Damn it, you want to call for help?"

"Help! Help! Someone's here..."

Jiang Rourou was knocked unconscious by Nan Dongxue before she could finish her sentence.

Outside, Jiang Xue was getting impatient. With so many guests, Jiang Rourou, the main character, still hadn't come out. She was about to go in to find her when she arrived and saw the chaos. Jiang Xue froze on the spot and ran out to find Qian Xingjie.

"Oh no, Young Master Qian, Rou Rou is missing!"

Qian Ke'er said sarcastically, "So what if they're gone? A living person can't just disappear, what's all the fuss about!"

"No, her phone fell on the ground, something must have happened. It must be Nan Dongxue, that old man has been causing us trouble lately. Young Master Qian, please save Rou Rou!" Jiang Xue pleaded, shaking Qian Xingjie's arm.

Qian Xingjie beckoned to his men, "Check the surveillance footage, and get a few more people to come with me!"

"Yes!"

Qian Ke'er and Mu Sha looked at each other.

Jiang Rourou woke up amidst a jolting motion. When she saw Nan Dongxue driving, her eyes widened. She tried to speak but found her mouth stuffed with a rag and her hands bound tightly.

"Um..."

Nan Dongxue glared at her, "Don't worry, Dad has a surprise for you in a bit!"

The car stopped at an abandoned factory. Nan Dongxue dragged her out, found a place to tie her to a pillar, and then pulled the gag out of her mouth.

"Say your last words now, or you might not have the chance!"

"Nan Dongxue, you madman, what exactly do you want? Let me go right now, or Young Master Qian will definitely kill you!"

"Slap!" Nan Dongxue slapped Jiang Rourou again. "You brat, how dare you yell at me? Who gave you the guts?"

"Even if I'm in decline, I'm still the chairman of the Nan Group. If you dare to speak disrespectfully to me again, I'll rip out your tongue!"

Jiang Rourou shuddered with fright. She was sobbing, truly afraid that Nan Dongxue would go mad and become unrecognizable to his family. So, she immediately softened her tone, "Dad, I'm Rourou, I'm your good daughter. Although I'm not your biological daughter, I've been filial to you for so long, and you love me very much, haven't you? As long as you let me go, I promise you, I'll give you a large sum of money and take care of you in your old age and in your final days. Isn't that good enough? Why do you have to become our enemy!"

Nan Dongxue smiled sinisterly, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitching. "If I let you go, not only will I not get the money, but you can also turn around and kill me. Jiang Rourou, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You think you can outsmart me? You think you can outmaneuver me?"

"No, Dad, I swear, I would never lie to you, I..."

"Shut up!" Nan Dongxue growled, then pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey Qian Shao, it's me, your future father-in-law, Nan Dongxue!"

Qian Xingjie asked, "Is Jiang Rourou in your hands?"

Nan Dongxue grinned maliciously, "That's right, she's in my hands. But don't worry, I'm her father. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee I'll send her back safely, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Nan Dongxue glared at Jiang Rourou with a vicious look. "I'll treat her the way you treated me!" Qian Xingjie sneered. "I, Qian Xingjie, have no shortage of women. Do whatever you want with her. You think you can use her to blackmail me? Chairman Nan, you've miscalculated!"

Nan Dongxue revealed his trump card: "I refuse to believe that she wouldn't even want the child in her belly?"

Qian Xingjie said nonchalantly, "Then you'll have to check whether she's pregnant or not!"

Nan Dongxue squinted, "What do you mean?"

Nan Dongxue was furious. He lifted Jiang Rourou's clothes and ripped off the pillow tied around her waist.

"You brat, so you weren't pregnant after all! Qian Xingjie really went to great lengths to get into the Qian family. You even fooled me!"

Jiang Rourou felt guilty and couldn't speak.

Nan Dongxue continued yelling into the phone, "You think this is over? Let me tell you, send someone to deliver ten million in cash to me right now, or not only will I expose Jiang Rourou's fake pregnancy, but I'll also make sure you never see her again in your life!"

Qian Xingjie didn't care much. "Ten million? Do you think I own a bank? Whatever. Since you won't even spare your own daughter, there's nothing I can do. It's an internal family conflict, and it's not convenient for an outsider like me to interfere. So, whatever!"

After speaking, I hung up.

Jiang Xue nearly jumped up, grabbing Qian Xingjie's arm. "Young Master Qian, what do you mean by this? Our Rou Rou is your fiancée, your soon-to-be wife, and you're just going to leave her to die? You're so heartless!"

Qian Xingjie shrugged. "We haven't even registered our marriage yet, have we? Besides, she can't even keep her own child. Why should I give her ten million to save her? Do you think Nan Dongxue will really let her go if I give her ten million? Don't be silly. My money didn't grow on trees. What if I lose both my money and my lover? Wouldn't all my efforts have been for nothing?"

"You!" Jiang Xue was heartbroken.

"Hey, Young Master Qian, don't go, Young Master Qian..."

They chased after him, but Qian Xingjie had already disappeared.

Qian Ke'er and Mu Sha, who were passing by, heard the whole thing.

Qian Ke'er gloated, "I didn't expect that someone would get rid of that annoying Jiang Rourou without me even lifting a finger. It turns out it was a fake pregnancy. People like that deserve to die, they deserve to die ten thousand times over!"

Musa fell into deep thought.

If Jiang Rourou's child is gone, does that mean that the young master has no hope left? So, he must be very sad right now.
Since the downfall of the Nan family, all the friends and relatives who were close to the Nan family have disappeared without a trace. Recently, the so-called friends that Jiang Xue had cultivated through Jiang Rourou vanished the moment they heard that Jiang Xue wanted to borrow money.

Jiang Rourou was on the verge of tears and called Nan Dongxue.

"Nan Dongxue, we have no money now, but you can take my life. What do you want? Rou Rou is my only daughter. If you do anything to her, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Fine, if you're willing to come find me, I'll consider letting this brat go!"

Jiang Xue's eyes lit up. "Okay, but you can't lie to me!"

After hanging up the phone, Nan Dongxue was so angry he almost smashed his phone. "Damn it! Ten million yuan and no one is willing to pay, I've done this job for nothing!"

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and slapped Jiang Rourou twice more across the face. "It's all your fault! Now I'm stuck with nowhere to go, and I can't even get my money back!"

Jiang Rourou sobbed, "Young Master Qian... how could he treat me like this? He's a bastard, an ungrateful wretch! I hate him so much!"

"Dad, it was my fault. Your daughter made a mistake. Anyway, you can't get any money out of me, so why don't you let me go? When I make money in the future, I will definitely take good care of you!"
