Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 292 The Last Fight

"So, you're unwilling?" Xiao Ruonan pressed.

Ning Zhiyuan turned his face away, his profile sharp and fierce. "I said I made a promise, and I can't break it!"

Xiao Ruonan persisted, "Hmph! What do you mean you promised someone? I think you're just making excuses so you don't want to leave and can continue seeing that Zhenzhen, right?"

Ning Zhiyuan stared at her incredulously. "Fifth Miss, you know what kind of person I am. Do you lack confidence in me, or in yourself?"

Xiao Ruonan shook off his hand. "Enough! I know I have nothing now, so you've lost interest in me. I was so stupid; I shouldn't have abandoned the Xiao family to run away with you!"

After a few seconds of silence, Ning Zhiyuan calmly asked, "So, you regret it, right?"

"Yes, I regret it, I regret it so much! You're not worth it at all!" The moment Xiao Ruonan shouted it out, she regretted it.

Why did she push Ning Zhiyuan away? They've come this far with so much effort!

But it was too late; her pride prevented her from turning back.

Ning Zhiyuan wasn't angry; instead, he seemed relieved and nodded with a smile. "Okay! I understand. But you still have to come back with me. Tomorrow morning, I'll send you back to the Xiao family. You can be the fifth young lady of the Xiao family, and I... am no longer good enough for you!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xiao Ruonan opened her mouth, feeling extremely annoyed.

This is not the outcome she wanted. Why? Why is it ending before it even began?

The next morning.

Ning Zhiyuan knocked on Xiao Ruonan's door and found that the room was empty, with only a note left on the table.

No need for you to see me off, I can go by myself. Wishing you well! Xiao Ruonan

Ning Zhiyuan clenched his fist and then tossed it into the trash can.

Go! And once you leave, never come back!
He sat on the edge of the bed where Xiao Ruonan had slept, looking at the empty room, his heart heavy with sorrow…

Haicheng.

"Brother Shen, Nan Wu is here!"

In the backyard, Xiao Shen was playing golf, hitting the target every time, his skills comparable to those of a professional athlete.

He rarely plays, but recently he has specifically set aside time for leisure, and no one knows why.

"How about I send her away?" Song Hao continued, seeing that Xiao Shen did not react.

"It's fine to let her in!" Xiao Shen said lazily.

Nan Wu was quickly brought in. She was still wearing a plain cotton dress with a literary style, and she had her original long, straight black hair back. She looked as pure and clean as a female college student.

Completely opposite to Su Ying's bright and charming appearance!

Nan Wu was visiting Xiao Shen's private residence for the first time. She cautiously looked around, but was also envious of Su Ying's treatment.

Why is it that we all have the same face, yet different fates?

"Fourth Master!" Nan Wu appeared delicate and pitiful.

"Miss Nan, are you desperate and that's why you're trying to take advantage of me?" Xiao Shen didn't even look at her, his tone revealing a hint of impatience and indifference.

Nan Wu paused, then looked up at him.

As expected of the Fourth Master, he could see through this.

Seeing that Xiao Shen had seen through her ruse, she stopped trying to keep him in suspense. Her eyes instantly reddened, and glistening tears welled up in them. "Fourth Master, I've been seriously reflecting on my actions these past few days. I admit I've made mistakes, but I had no idea my mother had someone impersonate me. If I had known, I would never have let her do something so absurd. Although I haven't been in the Xiao family for long, I've come to consider it my home. Now that the Nan family is ruined and my father is gone, Jiang Rourou and her daughter are constantly causing trouble for my mother and me. I can't take it anymore. Please, Fourth Master, help me and let me return to the Xiao family!"

Nan Wu thought for a moment. Although Xiao Jiayang was willing to help her, he had ulterior motives and would inevitably try to control her in the future. So, it would be better to find Xiao Shen. Xiao Shen was an authoritative figure in the Xiao family. As long as he protected her, who could do anything to her?
After agonizing over it all night, Nan Wu still mustered up the courage to come.

Fang Lanxin told her that as long as the woman isn't ugly and is enthusiastic and proactive enough, no man can refuse her.

She insisted on giving it a try, just in case she could replace Su Ying!
Xiao Shen swung his club, and the ball drew a perfect arc in the air and went into the hole!
Extremely precise.

Nan Wu was stunned.

She had seen all sorts of people play golf. Some were good at it but not as handsome as him, and those who weren't good at it were even less handsome.

Successful men possess a superior nobility not only in their careers but also in every other aspect of their lives.

Seeing this, she missed the man even more, even if he only saw her as a substitute.

Xiao Shen tossed the golf club to his subordinate, took a towel, and slowly wiped his hands. "What you said is very good. I sympathize with you, but why should I help you?"

"I..." Nan Wu choked.

Her hands clenched into fists as she controlled her emotions and tried to maintain her dignified image.

She stepped forward, her eyes seductive. "Fourth Master, as long as you help me, I'll do whatever you say!"

The ambiguous meaning of this statement is quite obvious.

Xiao Shen scoffed, his eyes sweeping over her with a disdainful look. "You? Who gave you that confidence?"

The man coldly tossed the towel at her and walked away.

Nan Wu came this time with a firm resolve; as long as Xiao Shen's men didn't throw her out, she would keep pestering him.

"Fourth Master!" Nan Wu rushed into the main building and knelt down in front of Xiao Shen with a thud.

The man, with a cigarette butt dangling from his lips, raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this.

"Please, Fourth Master, I'm just a victim too. It's all Su Ying's fault. If she hadn't been blinded by greed and agreed to make a deal with my mother, I wouldn't have been kicked out of the Xiao family. She's the one who ruined me. Fourth Master, please help me..."

Nan Wu tugged at Xiao Shen's trouser leg, pleading in a hoarse voice.

She was already delicate and pale, and with tears streaming down her face, she made men feel sorry for her.

But Xiao Shen was heartless, extremely indifferent from beginning to end, as if nothing in the world could move him.

"Hand!" Xiao Shen raised his chin, his voice devoid of any warmth.

Nan Wu was intimidated by his gaze and quickly pulled away in fright.

Her eyes darted around, and with a hardened heart, she began to take off her clothes. "Fourth Master, I'll give you everything, I'll give you everything, okay? Su Ying can do it, I can do it even better than her!"

Xiao Shen leaned back, his outstretched arms resting on the backrest, his head tilted, surrounded by swirling smoke, his eyes filled with a playful expression.

Seeing his "acquiescence," Nan Wu became even bolder, getting up and sitting on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Fourth Master..."

"After trying to seduce someone several times without success, she came to my house and took off her clothes. Who knew that the well-educated, virtuous, and gentle Miss Nan had such a thick skin!"

Su Ying held onto the railing and stepped down the stairs one by one.

Nanwu's gaze fell on her slip dress. The straps were very thin, as if they would break if you lifted them. The wine red color with black lace trim made her skin look even whiter than snow.
