Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 286 Disrupting the Funeral
"I know what you're saying, but I'm still going!" Shen Qingfeng wouldn't listen to a word.

Su Wen sighed helplessly; all his words had been for nothing.

"No, Dr. Shen, wait a moment, I'll go to Ningcheng with you!"

Ningcheng.

Jiang Rourou and her mother are now in dire straits.

After leaving Qian Xingjie and with Nan Dongxue's mysterious death in the hospital, she was labeled a suspect, and now everyone avoids her like the plague.

Jiang Rourou and her mother were used to a life of plenty in the Nan family. Even though they were now penniless, they would not go out to find work and support themselves, as that would be an insult to them.

Life is tough when you're broke. Jiang Rourou is itching to buy what she likes, and Jiang Xue is sighing all the while.

"I never imagined that after all the hard work my daughter and I put in, we would end up with nothing. Tell me, why is my life so miserable!"

As Jiang Xue spoke, she burst into loud sobs.

Jiang Rourou grumbled irritably, "Alright, alright, instead of crying all day long, why don't you think about how to make money!"

Jiang Xue said indignantly, "If you ask me, you should go to Qian Xingjie and ask him for money. After all, you were with him before, and you were pregnant with his child. He was kind to you when you were useful, but now that you're no longer useful, he'll just kick you to the curb. Dream on! Ask him for money. Qian Ke'er's public jilting of her engagement by Xiao Shen has already made the Qian family lose face. I don't believe Qian Xingjie would dare to do that again!"

Jiang Rourou twirled the end of her hair with her fingers, lost in thought.

How could she be willing to accept this? She had previously boasted that she would trample Nan Wu and Su Ying underfoot, but now, how could she face those two bitches in the future?

"Mom, isn't Nan Dongxue being buried tomorrow? Why don't we go and join in the fun!"

Nan Dongxue's funeral was arranged by Nan Wu. Because Nan Dongxue was suspected of murder, none of Nan's relatives and friends attended the funeral until the day of his burial.

At the funeral, Nan Wu, dressed in a black dress and wearing a white flower in her hair, stood at the door to greet the guests.

Fang Lanxin stayed by her side.

Just then, a pair of uninvited guests arrived at the funeral.

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here, leave now!" Fang Lanxin coldly shooed Jiang Xue and her daughter away.

Jiang Rourou stepped forward with her hands on her hips. "Fang Lanxin, speak to my mother more politely. You're just a discarded woman kicked out of the Nan family. What's with all the arrogance? Besides, this is my father's funeral. I can come and go as I please. It's none of your business!"

After saying that, she pointed at Nan Wu and said, "And you, I've never seen you so filial before. Now that someone's dead, you're putting on an act. What are you pretending for? It's disgusting!"

Nan Wu's fighting ability was too weak, and she was no match for Jiang Rourou. She was quickly brought to tears by her mother's words.

Fang Lanxin grabbed her daughter's hand and pulled her behind her. "Jiang Rourou, don't think I don't know what you've been learning from Nan Dong. If you have any shame, shut your mouth, or I'll have security kick you out!"

"you!"

Jiang Xue tugged at her daughter, then retorted sarcastically to Fang Lanxin, "What right do you have to yell here? Even if Dongxue and I have something going on, that's between us as husband and wife. Don't forget, Dongxue and I are still legally married. Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to keep vigil for Dongxue?"

"My mom is right, who do you think you are? Get out of my way!" Jiang Rourou forcefully pushed Nan Wu and Fang Lanxin aside, and together with Jiang Xue, walked to the altar of Nan Dongxue.

In the very center was a black-and-white photo of Nan Dongxue. When Jiang Xue looked up, she met his eyes. Those eyes seemed to be staring intently at her, which startled Jiang Xue so much that she knocked over a plate of offerings.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Jiang Xue wiped away her cold sweat. "It's nothing, I'm probably just tired. Rou Rou, shall we leave? I feel there's too much yin energy here, let's not let it bring us bad luck!"

Jiang Rourou leaned closer and whispered, "Mom, have you forgotten why we came here?"

After saying that, she moved closer to Nan Wu.

"Nan Wu, now that Dad's gone, it's time for us to settle our accounts. You probably took all the Nan family's properties, right? Hurry up and give back what you took!"

Nan Wu was completely bewildered. "What real estate? I've never seen it before!"

Jiang Rourou looked at him with disdain. "You're kidding me! Don't think I don't know you made a lot of money when you were with the Nan family. I got a share of it too. Hand it over now, or I'll make you look bad!"

"Jiang Rourou!" Fang Lanxin blocked Nan Wu's way. "I think you're obsessed with money. I'll repeat myself one last time: we've never taken a single penny from the Nan family, and Nan Dongxue hasn't given us any property. If you want money, go find someone else. Don't cause trouble here!"

Jiang Rourou burst out laughing, "You two mother and daughter are really good at playing along. Do you really think my mom and I are idiots? Here's what we'll do: you transfer me 20 million, and that'll be considered cashing out those properties. Consider it a bargain for you!"

"Jiang Rourou, don't go too far! Don't even mention twenty million, we don't even have two thousand!" Nan Wu pulled Fang Lanxin over. "Mom, let's go!"

Seeing that Plan A had failed, Jiang Xue immediately implemented Plan B. She smoothly sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

"Fang Lanxin, you're all so heartless! How could you take everything that Dongxue left us? How are Rourou and I supposed to live now? Dongxue, look at your good daughter and your good ex-wife, they've teamed up to steal all the assets. If you're watching from heaven, please do something about them..."

"How could this be? Chairman Nan has only just left, and the eldest daughter of the Nan family and her birth mother are already bullying her like this. It's simply outrageous!"

"Exactly. I heard that Nan Dong's ex-wife is a doctor. How could someone with such a depraved character become a doctor?"

"I heard that Jiang Rourou miscarried a few days ago and is now being bullied by her stepsister and stepmother. She's so pitiful!"

The guests overwhelmingly condemned Nan Wu and Fang Lanxin.

Seeing that Nan Wu was about to give up the money because of the rumors, Fang Lanxin stopped her and shook her head at Nan Wu.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue cried even harder.

Without saying a word, Jiang Rourou started smashing things.

"You two despicable people, if you don't pay today, the funeral won't continue. You think you're so filial? I'll teach you to be filial, teach you to be filial..."

Jiang Rourou's plight evoked sympathy from everyone, so even her crazy behavior of smashing things was forgiven by the crowd.

When Nan Wu became emotional, her face turned pale and she looked pained. She clutched her chest and gasped for breath, as if she was in danger of suffocating at any moment.

Seeing this, Fang Lanxin quickly led her away from this troublesome place.

Fortunately, Nan Wu returned to normal after taking the medicine, which really scared Fang Lanxin.
