Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 302 Good thing you retreated, you should have retreated sooner.
Xiao Ruonan brushed the hair that was stuck to Ning Zhiyuan's forehead, cupped his face, and said, "A-Lie, look at me. It's me, Ruonan. How are you? Answer me..."

Ning Zhiyuan slowly raised his eyes, "I, I'm fine... *pfft*"

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

The blood splattered onto Xiao Ruonan, startling everyone present. After a brief moment of shock, she hugged Ning Zhiyuan even tighter.

"Ah Lie, Ah Lie, don't scare me!"

"Tch! He says he can stand up? Anyone can brag. Grandpa, we should get someone to carry him away right now. Look how dirty he's made the floor..."

Xiao Jiayang wanted to say something more, but Xiao Ruonan glared at him fiercely.

"Jiayang is right. Men, carry him out!" Old Master Xiao gave the order, which was expected.

"No, you mustn't touch him..." Xiao Ruonan desperately protected Ning Zhiyuan.

"Fifth, Fifth Miss!"

Hearing Ning Zhiyuan's faint breath, Xiao Ruonan quickly leaned closer to her ear, "What did you say?"

"I can do it! I can stand up!"

Xiao Ruonan's eyes reddened again. "I know, don't be afraid. You're mine. With me here, no one can do anything to you!"

After speaking, she gently helped Ning Zhiyuan lie down on the ground, then stood up to face the old man.

"Dad, your daughter is being unfilial. I've fallen for a bodyguard. He may just be a bodyguard in your eyes, but he's not in my eyes. He's even more loyal and righteous than any other man in the Xiao family. I've been clinging to him all this time, and I'm willing to go with him. What's the point of punishing just him? You should punish me too!"

After saying that, she bent down and knelt on the ground, "Since Ah Lie can't leave anyway, I might as well stay with him!"

"You! You really think I'm reluctant to part with you, don't you?" the old man said, heartbroken.

"Oh dear! He's standing up! He's standing up!"

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Ruonan turned around.

Ning Zhiyuan stood unsteadily behind her, covered in blood, looking so weak he seemed about to collapse at any moment.

His gaze towards Old Master Xiao was resolute and unyielding. "Is it...is it alright now?"

"Alie!"

Seeing his body lean to one side, Xiao Ruonan rushed over and hugged him.

"Good lad, you're pretty tough!" the old man exclaimed in disbelief.

"Dad, can we keep your promise now? Can we go?" After saying that, she put one of Ning Zhiyuan's arms on her shoulder.

"Ah Lie, let's go!"

She supported Ning Zhiyuan, and the two left step by step.

The old man didn't give any orders, and there were no bodyguards to stop them; everyone just watched helplessly.

"Grandpa, are you just going to let that stinky bodyguard go like that? That's too easy on him!" Xiao Jiayang said, unwilling to accept it.

Old Master Xiao glared at him, "He keeps his word. If it doesn't work, why don't you give it a try?"

"Can……"

Chen Wanru pulled Xiao Jiayang back.

Xiao Shen turned his neck wearily. "Grandpa, tell me, you're going to let the young couple be together anyway. You've given away your daughter, and you've played the bad guy. Why did you do that?"

"Hmph! Even if I have to be the bad guy, I'll show that brat that the Fifth Miss of the Xiao family isn't someone to be fooled!"

"Fine! I can't argue with you, old man, I'll just leave!"

"Wait a minute, did you see the Qian family's announcement of the annulment of the engagement? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiao Shen shrugged. "Good riddance, you should have retired a long time ago!" "You! Cough cough cough..."

"dad!"

"Grandpa..." The group was thrown into chaos once again.

After leaving the old man's room, Xiao Shen walked straight outside; he still had some official business to finish.

"Fourth Master!"

Nan Wu stood there for a long time. She had heard that something had happened to the Xiao family and was worried that Old Master Xiao's mood would affect her, so she hesitated whether to go in. Unexpectedly, she ran into Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen glanced at her coldly, ignored her, and bent down to get into the car.

Feeling ignored, Nan Wu was deeply hurt. "Fourth Master, do you really hate me that much?"

Xiao Shen paused, his icy gaze sweeping over her. "It's not that I dislike you!"

Nan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, her previously depressed mood improving slightly. However, within just two seconds, she was mercilessly crushed by Xiao Shen's next words.

"It's absolutely disgusting!"

He paused, then added, "Don't ever show your face in front of me again, and don't even think about trying to cause trouble just because you have Su Ying's face. Otherwise, you'll regret it!"

Snapped!
The car door slammed shut, the car executed a beautiful tail swing, and quickly disappeared into the dust.

Nan Wu swayed as if she were losing her balance, and her expression gradually darkened from initial unease.

Su Ying, just you wait! In this world, it's either me or you!
the other side.

Xiao Ruonan's last-minute elopement made headlines, and Su Ying saw it while scrolling through her phone.

It's unbelievable that Xiao Ruonan, who has always been sensible and well-behaved, would abandon everything for love.

It is a kind of luck for Ning Zhiyuan to meet her. May lovers be together forever.

Looking at herself, she didn't even have the most basic freedom. The calmer things were on Xiao Shen's side, the more anxious she became. If this continued, she would be driven crazy before Xiao Shen even arrived.

She could no longer sit idly by and wait for her fate; she had to take the initiative.

Finally, she came up with a desperate solution and immediately called Qian Xingjie.

"Young Master Qian, could you please do me another favor?"

Qian Xingjie had just finished his work and returned home when he saw Su Ying's call. He was so busy that he didn't even take the water that Mu Sha brought him. He threw off his coat, loosened his tie, and went straight to a quiet place.

Seeing how serious and earnest he was, Musa, who had been left standing aside, sensed something was amiss.

If she wasn't seeing things, Qian Xingjie's caller ID just now displayed the name "Su Ying".

what?
He has connections with Su Ying? This is a major taboo for the young lady.

"Su Ying, don't push your luck. You haven't given me a single penny in return. How can you be like this, wanting the horse to run but not feeding it?"

Su Ying laughed and said, "Who said that? The grass is here, isn't it?"

The next day, early morning.

Boom boom boom!
Su Ying was still brushing her teeth when she heard someone knocking on the door. With her mouth full of drool, she went to open it.

Qian Xingjie walked in, impeccably dressed in a suit, and asked as soon as he entered, "Have you thought this through? Once we get the marriage certificate, if I don't agree, you can't get a divorce. Even if you do, you'll be a divorced woman!"

After rinsing her mouth, Su Ying asked, "Besides this, can you tell me if there's any other way?"

Qian Xingjie's eyes darted around as he thought of a question. "I can tell that Xiao Shen has at least some genuine feelings for you. If he doesn't care about this marriage certificate at all and tries to force you to marry him, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?"

"Do you really think a man like Xiao Shen, who stands at the top of the pyramid, would abandon all his dignity for me?" Su Ying raised her arm and casually tied her hair into a ponytail.
She was already fair-skinned and radiant, with almost no visible pores on her face. From the side, she looked as beautiful as a white swan.

Qian Xingjie was completely confused.
