Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 278 Taking the blame
Oxygen was quickly depleted, and the feeling of suffocation struck. Nan Dongxue reflexively struggled and kicked his legs, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Fang Lanxin stared at him expressionlessly, as if watching a dog on the verge of death making its last struggle.

Nan Dongxue was convulsing, his eyes staring straight at Fang Lanxin, and he didn't close them until the very last moment, until the machine next to him beeped an alarm, and the world suddenly went silent.

Fang Lanxin seemed relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.

Nan Dongxue died from organ failure caused by wound infection.

Although the Nan family company declined, Nan Dongxue's death still made local headlines.

……

"Mom, Dad died. Is this related to you?"

"Slap!" Fang Lanxin slapped Nan Wu across the face.

"How many times have I told you not to call him Dad? Does a scumbag like him deserve to be your father?"

"But……"

"No buts! He's utterly wicked and deserves to die. You're not allowed to let me hear anything about him from you again!" Fang Lanxin gave a firm order, and Nan Wu, even if she didn't understand, couldn't say anything more.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest and slid down onto the sofa.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Fang Lanxin hurriedly helped her up.

"Mom, I feel terrible, I'm going to die..."

Fang Lanxin quickly put emergency heart medication into her mouth and then rushed her to the hospital.

Haicheng.

Meanwhile, Jiang Rourou encountered an accident at her birthday party, and the news quickly reached Qian Huai'an's ears. Qian Xingjie knew he couldn't escape his fate, so he decided to turn the tables and perhaps salvage the situation.

Especially after hearing Qian Ke'er's warning words, "Brother, how could you team up with Jiang Rourou to lie to me and Dad? You've disappointed us so much. I advise you to take the initiative to explain to Dad, otherwise not only Dad, but I won't forgive you either!"

Confessing to Qian Huai'an would mean that all his recent efforts would be in vain, returning him to square one, still the lowest of the Qian family members, still looked down upon by them, and with no hope of ever getting ahead.

But compared to being kicked out of the Qian family by Qian Huai'an, this was his only choice.

"dad!"

Qian Xingjie finally knocked on Qian Huai'an's door.

Unfortunately, Qian Huai'an didn't give him a friendly look. "Hmph! You still have the nerve to call me Dad? I don't have a son as filial as you. Get out of here right now, I don't want to see you again!"

Get out?
Are you kidding me?
He endured humiliation and hardship for so many years, and gained nothing from the Qian family. Why should he just leave like this?

I'm not willing to accept it, and it's impossible!

Of course, Qian Xingjie didn't dare to act rashly in front of Qian Huai'an, after all, his fate was in the other party's hands.

Before Qian Huai'an could react, he heard a thud and Qian Xingjie knelt on the ground.

"Dad, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept Jiang Rourou's miscarriage a secret from you. I was afraid... I was afraid..." "It's too late to explain now. I don't want to hear any of your excuses. Xingjie, how have I raised you? You haven't listened to a single word. Now you're colluding with outsiders to deceive me. I was thinking of letting you join the Qian family to assist Ke'er once you were capable, but I never expected you to disappoint me so much!"

Qian Xingjie knelt down in front of him, grabbing his trouser leg. "Dad, listen to me, your son knows he was wrong. Actually, I planned to tell you about this a long time ago, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Who knew Jiang Rourou would get into trouble like that? Dad, you have to believe me..."

Qian Huai'an broke free, pointing angrily at the door, "Get out of here right now!"

"Master!" Mu Sha rushed in. "This matter has nothing to do with the young master. I'm the one who caused Jiang Rourou's miscarriage. I begged the young master to keep it a secret for the time being, and he agreed because he couldn't bear to do it. If you want to punish someone, then punish me!"

Upon hearing this, both the Qian father and son were astonished.

"What did you say? You got rid of my grandson?"

Musa glanced at Qian Xingjie and nodded firmly, "Yes, it's me!"

"Why? Musa, why are you doing this?"

Mu Sha lowered her head in shame. "I... I just couldn't stand Jiang Rourou's smug attitude. She also dislikes me in private and has threatened and insulted me many times. I didn't push her on purpose, who knew..."

She looked up at Qian Huai'an with anxious eyes, "Master, that Jiang Rourou is not good enough for the young master, let alone for the Qian family. So what if she's pregnant with the Qian family's child? She's only after our Qian family's money and status..."

"Snapped!"

"Whether she's worthy or not is none of your business!" Qian Huai'an was furious, his expression terrifying. "You're just a little follower of Ke'er, what right do you have to interfere in your master's affairs? Mu Sha, I've always indulged you because you've been with Ke'er for so many years, but now you dare to do such a thing, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Musa glanced at Qian Xingjie, "I know, Musa will obey whatever Master does, without any complaints!"

Qian Xingjie looked at her questioningly, and quietly clenched his fist.

"Fine, you said it yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qian Huai'an beckoned to his bodyguards, "Bring me my whip!"

"Yes!"

"Dad! Musa was just confused for a moment, she didn't mean it. How could she bear those few lashes from you!" Qian Xingjie tried to stop her.

Qian Huai'an, who thought he had lost his grandson, wouldn't listen to anything. "Saving her life is already more than enough. Today, I'm going to teach her a lesson on how to be a servant. Get out of my way!"

Qian Huai'an raised his whip and brought it down. Mu Sha knelt on the ground, letting the whip lash her body. In no time, her skin was torn and bleeding, but she remained motionless, not even blinking.

Seeing this scene, Qian Xingjie felt as if his heart had been stabbed, a sharp, throbbing pain.

However, at this moment, he could do nothing and was unable to do anything.

He simply turned his back and ignored it all.

Just then, Qian Ke'er arrived.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Ke'er, you've come at the right time. I'm here to teach Mu Sha a lesson for you. Do you know what she did? She actually killed my unborn grandson! How can I forgive someone like that? If it weren't for the fact that she's been with you since you were little, I would have made her pay for her crime with her blood long ago! Get out of my way right now, I'm going to get my revenge today!"

Qian Ke'er held down her father's whip, "Dad, Jiang Rourou's child is gone, that's all. It means she wasn't meant to be with our Qian family. Besides, a woman like her, who's vain and greedy for money, is not good enough for our Qian family. Look at how ignorant she was before, it was so embarrassing. If you want a grandson, there are plenty of women to give my brother a child. What is Jiang Rourou anyway!"

Qian Huai'an looked at his daughter in disbelief. "Ke'er, what are you saying? Are you just going to let her do this? These two are working together to keep this from me and making a fool of me. If Jiang Rourou hadn't gotten into trouble, would this kid have been planning to keep it from me until the very end?"
