Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 287 An Invitation with Malicious Intent

“You have completed your final mission for Nan Dongxue. From today onwards, you are not allowed to have any contact with anything related to him, otherwise you will be just like today, relentlessly pursued by Jiang Rourou and her daughter. If we hadn’t run away quickly just now…”

Nan Wu nodded weakly.

She suddenly remembered something, "Mom, I heard from Officer Zhang that the spot where Dad was shot wasn't life-threatening at all, but he suddenly died mysteriously in the hospital. Mom, do you think he might have been murdered?"

Bang!

Fang Lanxin knocked over the glass water bottle.

She knelt down and methodically picked up the shards of glass from the floor. "If there are any suspicious circumstances, the police will handle it. Don't overthink it. Also..."

She emptied the shards into the trash can, brushed off non-existent dust from her hands and clothes, and said, “He deserved to die. He did nothing in life and left you with a bunch of trouble after death. If it weren’t for the fact that you have his blood in your veins, I would have made you break off all ties with him long ago. But now it’s all over. From now on, you’re not allowed to mention him again!”

Although Nan Wu didn't quite understand why her mother and Nan Dongxue had such a deep-seated grudge, she still obediently nodded, "I understand, Mom!"

"By the way, Xiao Shen has fallen out with the Qian family, and the marriage alliance between the two families is very likely to be canceled. This is a good opportunity for you to return to the Xiao family!"

good chance……

Nan Wu carefully considered these three words. The Xiao family not only has Xiao Jiayang, but also Xiao Shen. Since Xiao Shen and Qian Ke'er have fallen out, does that mean she also has a chance?
Qian Ke'er was forcibly taken back to Baicheng by Qian Huai'an, leaving Mu Sha and Qian Xingjie to handle the aftermath. She then held a press conference on behalf of Qian Huai'an to announce the cancellation of the engagement with the Xiao family.

As Qian Xingjie's assistant, Mu Sha took care of some trivial matters for him. Watching Qian Xingjie answer the reporters' tricky questions naturally and fluently on stage, Mu Sha felt even more admiration for him.

"Miss Musa!"

Musa turned around upon hearing the sound.

"It's been a while, Miss Musa seems even more beautiful!"

In the past, Mu Sha would have given Xiao Jiayang some face out of consideration for him being the eldest grandson of the Xiao family. But now that the Qian and Xiao families have fallen out and their relationship is broken, she no longer needs to give him face or even a friendly face.

"Hmph! Your Xiao family has the nerve to come to a press conference after doing something like this?"

Xiao Jiayang feigned innocence, "Miss Mu Sha, this was done by my fourth uncle, it has nothing to do with me!"

"That's someone from your Xiao family. You'd better leave now. If my young master sees this, he'll be very disrespectful to you!" Mu Sha turned and left.

Xiao Jiayang's arrival here was purely coincidental. He had arranged to meet a girl at a hotel, but unexpectedly, he ran into Qian Xingjie, who happened to be holding a press conference here, and Mu Sha.

He had been lusting after Musa for a long time, and had tried to get her to come to him several times but had been turned away. Now that he had finally run into her, he was determined to taste this woman.

Since the Qian family and the Xiao family have already broken off relations, he doesn't need to hide anything.

“Yes, yes, you’re right, Miss Musa. I was having dinner with a friend nearby and sincerely invited you to join us. I also want to formally apologize to you on behalf of my fourth uncle!” Xiao Jiayang caught up with Musa.

Musa wasn't interested. "No need, you should just leave!"

Xiao Jiayang persisted like a leech, "No, if you don't eat this meal, it means you haven't forgiven me. Oh, by the way, I also have a secret to tell you. Do you really not want to hear it? It's about Miss Ke'er!"

"What secret?"

Xiao Jiayang feigned mystery, saying, "You'll know when we get there!"

Seeing that the press conference was still long over, Musa was moved and said, "If you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for turning against you!"

"Don't worry, do I look like that kind of person?"

As he invited Musa into his car, Xiao Jiayang revealed a sinister smile.

Xiao Jiayang took her to a hotel. Mu Sha looked around and sensed something was wrong.

"What are you doing in a place like this when you're just talking about something?"

"Wouldn't that show my sincerity? You agree, right?"

Eager to hear about Qian Ke'er as soon as possible, Mu Sha disregarded everything else and followed Xiao Jiayang inside. Xiao Jiayang ordered food and then a bottle of wine, which he offered to Mu Sha, but she refused to drink it.

Musa tapped the table. "Let's get down to business!"

"Don't rush, this is a long story. Let me fill my stomach first!"

Musa looked at him with disgust.

Xiao Jiayang used his knife and fork forcefully, and the sauce in the dish splashed directly onto Musa.

"Young Master Xiao, what are you doing?" Mu Sha scolded in a low voice.

Xiao Jiayang quickly grabbed some tissues to help wipe it off. "I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy. How about this, let's go shopping later, and I'll buy you an outfit!"

"Forget it, I'm going to wash up. What bad luck!" Musa left speechlessly.

With his back to her, Xiao Jiayang revealed a smug smile. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, he pulled a small packet of medicine from his inner pocket and quickly poured it into Mu Sha's wine glass. After shaking it, no trace of it could be seen.

Musa returned quickly, and Xiao Jiayang pretended to be scrolling through his phone.

"Young Master Xiao, get to the point. I don't have time to chat with you here. Or are you deliberately lying to me?"

"How could I joke about something like this? How about this, let's have a drink first, as if you've accepted my apology, and then I'll tell you about it, okay?"

Mu Sha thought that one more drink wouldn't make a difference, and besides, with Xiao Jiayang's limited abilities, he wouldn't dare to do anything, so she tilted her head back and drank it.

Watching her drink it all in one gulp, Xiao Jiayang narrowed his eyes.

"Here's what happened. The reason my fourth uncle didn't marry your Miss Ke'er is because of someone, Su Ying, that woman who looks exactly like Nan Wu. I don't know what my fourth uncle was obsessed with, abandoning such a beautiful and outstanding girl like Miss Ke'er and keeping a low-class imposter instead!"

Musa was speechless. "Are you done talking?"

"Forehead?"

"Young Master Xiao is probably too busy being surrounded by women, so the news was delayed, right? We knew about this two months ago, okay? What a waste of our time!"

Musa felt like she had been tricked, so she got up and left.

Xiao Jiayang stepped forward to stop her, "Miss Mu Sha, I really didn't know you already knew. It seems I didn't think it through. But we've met by chance, so let's finish our meal before you leave!"

"Who said we're destined to be together? Don't flatter yourself!" Mu Sha coldly waved her away, and as soon as she took a step, a strong sense of dizziness struck her.

"Miss Musa, what's wrong?"

Musa held her forehead in her hand, "My head is so dizzy..."

"You're probably too tired. Come on, I'll take you upstairs to rest!"

As for Qian Xingjie, he didn't see Mu Sha after the reception ended.

Why is this woman running around instead of staying at the scene?

He randomly stopped one of his men, "Where's Musa?"

"Miss Musa seems to have left with a man!"

Qian Xingjie frowned. "A man? What does he look like?"

"I remember now, it seems to be the eldest grandson of the Xiao family. Yes, that's him. Miss Mu Sha left in his car!"

“Xiao Jiayang?” Qian Xingjie asked thoughtfully.

Xiao Jiayang is no good.
