Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 288 Coming to Apologize
hotel.

Musa lay on the bed with her eyes closed, like a sleeping princess, completely still.

Xiao Jiayang hurriedly pulled off his coat, "You're nothing but a servant of the Qian family, what are you pretending to be so aloof for? It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you, and now you're still sleeping with me, aren't you?"

He ripped off Musa's collar.

Boom boom boom!
There was a rapid knocking at the door.

Xiao Jiayang impatiently went to open the door, "I told you all to stand guard at the door, are you all deaf...?"

"Qian, Qian Xingjie?"

Qian Xingjie pushed him aside and walked straight inside.

He patted Mu Sha's face, and seeing that she didn't react, he turned his terrifying gaze to Xiao Jiayang, "You, Xiao Jiayang, how could the eldest grandson of the Xiao family do such a despicable thing? Your Xiao family is really something, producing such a pervert as you!"

"Who are you calling a pervert? Say it again if you dare!" Xiao Jiayang, as the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, naturally couldn't stand being insulted like that.

Qian Xingjie grabbed his collar and punched him hard.

Xiao Jiayang was stunned by the beating, but when he came to his senses, he naturally refused to suffer any loss and retaliated.

However, he was quickly knocked to the ground by Qianxing Jie.

"Xiao Jiayang, you wait, I will expose what happened today and make your Xiao family infamous!" After saying this, Qian Xingjie picked up Mu Sha and left, kicking Xiao Jiayang as he passed by.

Xiao Jiayang clutched his chest, trying to catch his breath for a while. "Someone come here! Where have you all been...?"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Musa slowly woke up and turned her head.

"Young Master? What happened to you..."

"Have you forgotten what happened so quickly?"

Qian Xingjie sat on the single sofa, looking at her with disappointment.

Musa rubbed her temples as memories flooded back, and then her expression suddenly changed. "There's something wrong with that drink. It was Xiao Jiayang. Where is he?"

"Musa, you're a trained person, how could you be so careless about something like this? If I hadn't arrived in time today, do you know what the consequences would have been?"

"Yes, it was Young Master who saved me?" Musa realized.

Qian Xingjie questioned, "Xiao Jiayang is a womanizer and treacherous man, how could you be with him?"

"I..." Musa stammered, "He said he had something to tell me about Miss Ke'er, so I went. Who knew he would do something so despicable? That bastard, I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Mu Sha was furious and jumped out of bed, ready to rush to find Xiao Jiayang.

"Stop!" Qian Xingjie called out. "What do you think you can do by going to the Xiao family? No matter what, he is still a member of the Xiao family. What can you possibly do to him?"

“But I…” Musa bit her lip, feeling extremely aggrieved.

The thought that even a single finger of Xiao Jiayang, that bastard, had touched her made her feel disgusted.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone about this. I will handle it myself!" Qian Xingjie stood up, grabbed his coat, and prepared to leave.

"Master!"

Qianxingjie paused and turned to look at her.

Musa looked uncomfortable. "Thank you for saving me, young master!"

"You helped me before, so we're even!"

Although it was just returning a favor, it already made Musa very satisfied.

The Xiao family. "Son, what happened to your face?"

As soon as Xiao Jiayang entered the door, his mother, Chen Wanru, discovered what was going on.

"It's nothing, I just bumped into the door by accident!" Xiao Jiayang dodged left and right, too embarrassed to let anyone know about this, not even his own mother.

"Oh dear! Your skin is all swollen and you still say you're fine? You didn't get into a fight, did you? Who's so fearless as to dare touch someone from our Xiao family? Tell Mom, and Mom will get revenge for you!"

Xiao Jiayang interrupted impatiently, "I said it's nothing, so it's nothing. You don't need to worry about it!"

"Alright, alright, we won't bother with it then. By the way, get ready these next couple of days to go and bring Nanwu back!"

Xiao Jiayang thought he had misheard, and after a few seconds, he said, "What did you say? Bring Nan Wu back? Mom, have you forgotten? Grandpa kicked her out of the Xiao family. She's a slut. Why would we bring her back?" Chen Wanru slowly trimmed her favorite potted plant. "Tell me, what's the biggest thing that's happened in our Xiao family recently?"

Xiao Jiayang blurted out, "Of course it's because Fourth Uncle dumped Qian Ke'er at the wedding, and the Xiao and Qian families canceled the marriage alliance!"

Chen Wanru put down the scissors, took the towel handed to her by the maid and wiped her hands. "That's right. Think about it, your fourth uncle ruined the wedding, and your fifth aunt ran away at the last minute, so the marriage with the Yan family also fell through. These two things in a row have made the Xiao family the subject of gossip. How many people are talking about us behind our backs, saying that our family has a bad reputation? Do you think your grandfather isn't worried? He just has no choice!"

"So, as long as I bring Nanwu back and my husband and I reconcile, I can shut those people up, become a hero of the Xiao family, and be seen as a good son and grandson of the Xiao family in the eyes of the public? Grandpa will then look at me with new eyes?"

"As expected, my son is smart; that's exactly what I meant!"

"I understand, Mom. Don't worry, no matter how disgusted I am with that woman, I will make you satisfied for the future of our eldest son's family!"

Chen Wanru nodded with satisfaction.

Just then, her personal maid entered, "Madam, who is it that's here!"

"Who?"

"It's Nan Wu, who was kicked out of the house by the old man. I heard that she made some food herself and sent it to the old man. She was stopped outside. Without the old man's permission, no one dares to let her in!"

Nan Wu had been standing outside the door for quite a while.

She was carrying a food box containing some handmade pastries, which Fang Lanxin had instructed her to do.

In Ningcheng, she needed to find a powerful backer; otherwise, she would have a hard time surviving and would only be bullied by Jiang Rourou and her daughter.

"Miss Nan, why are you doing this? The old man doesn't want to see you, so you'll just have to. You're a smart woman, so I advise you to go back quickly!"

When the old housekeeper came out and saw that she was still there, he couldn't help but say a few words of advice.

Nan Wu smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll wait. If he still refuses to see me by dark, then I'll leave!"

The old butler sighed and went back.

study.

The old man, wearing reading glasses, was practicing calligraphy at his desk.

"Still not leaving?"

The old butler nodded. "They're very stubborn. No matter what we say, they won't leave. They even said they'll wait until dark!"

The old man remained unmoved. "Then let her be!"

The old butler couldn't help but say, "Sir, if I may be so bold, Miss Nan doesn't seem like that kind of person. It's possible that the deception back then was indeed only one-sided on Miss Su's part, while Miss Nan was kept in the dark..."

"Old Zhong, you don't judge people with your eyes, you judge them with this!" The old man pointed to his chest.

Soon it got dark, and Nan Wu remained motionless, as if she were being punished by kneeling, standing there for four hours straight.

She wouldn't have come at all if her mother hadn't repeatedly told her to.

Speaking of which, the old man is really heartless. How could he bear to let a girl like her stand outside for so long? Are all members of the Xiao family so cruel?
