Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 316 It's all because I'm too demanding of myself
Sheng Yu instructed, "Fourth Master and Madam are extremely picky. From now on, you will only be responsible for other areas. I will personally come to the master bedroom!"

"Thank you, Sister Yu!"

"Thank you, Sister Yu!"

The maid thought that Sheng Yu was thinking of them in every way and taking on such a big responsibility on her own, so her gratitude towards Sheng Yu grew even stronger.

This time, Sheng Yu didn't find anything in the trash can in the master bedroom. She opened the closet, ignoring the women's clothes, and her gaze fell on the neatly pressed men's suit.

These seemingly simple and clean styles look incredibly sexy and alluring on Xiao Shen.

Sheng Yu had seen all sorts of men in suits, but none looked as good as Xiao Shen. His mature, sophisticated, and domineering aura combined to captivate and fascinate her.

Unable to resist, she brought her nose close, almost obsessively inhaling the scent of the clothes.

That's the scent of a mature man, even more captivating than perfume.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Although Sheng Yu was quick enough, she still managed to catch part of it.

“Madam…” Sheng Yu’s face was filled with unconcealed embarrassment and panic.

Su Ying pretended not to see anything, saying, "It's so cold outside, I came back to get my scarf!"

Pushing past Sheng Yu, she grabbed the scarf and started to leave, but stopped abruptly at the door and turned back. "Sheng Yu, I remember telling you last time that Fourth Master doesn't like others entering our bedroom without permission, so please be careful next time!"

Sheng Yu stood there, her face extremely pale.

Su Ying was feeding the fish on the artificial hill when she vaguely heard footsteps approaching.

"It's you?"

Su Ying was startled when she suddenly saw a face that looked exactly like hers.

"What, are you feeling guilty?" Nan Wu asked with disdain.

Su Ying chuckled, "What do you have to be ashamed of?"

"You used my mother to seduce the Fourth Master, and then you persuaded him to oust Qian Ke'er and get married to you, successfully becoming the official wife of the Xiao family. Su Ying, you succeeded. To be honest, I admire you. I don't even have half of your courage and guts!"

"Young Madam, what you're saying doesn't sound like a compliment to me, it sounds like an insult!" Su Ying scattered the remaining fish food into the pond. "Actually, you've missed something: I'm luckier than you!"

Nan Wu fell into deep thought.

Yes, she was actually not bad in any way, but nothing ever went her way. Before she left the Nan family, she was suppressed by Jiang Rourou and Jiang Xue. After marrying into the Xiao family, Xiao Jiayang didn't treat her like a human being.

If she hadn't come from such a background, perhaps she wouldn't be where she is now.

Why is God always so unfair to me? I'm already seriously ill, why am I still being bullied?

Just now, she saw Su Ying feeding the fish by the pond, and a terrible thought suddenly popped into her head: if she pushed Su Ying in and made her disappear from everyone's sight, could she completely replace her?

The existence of two identical faces in the world is a mistake in itself, and she cannot allow this mistake to continue.

However, just as Su Ying said, what she lacked was courage and boldness; she was ultimately a useless person.

"Su Ying, you've already gotten what you wanted, isn't it time to stop?"

Su Ying frowned. "What do you mean by that?" Nan Wu brushed aside the hair covering her face, revealing her forehead. "See that?"

Seeing the bruises and untreated wounds on her face, Su Ying was stunned. "This is... For example, you told me that Xiao Jiayang did it!"

"In his eyes, you are like a queen, while I am just a slave who should submit to him. He scolds me when he is happy and beats me when he is unhappy. As long as he doesn't kill me, I am his punching bag. But do you know? All of this is thanks to you!"

Su Ying chuckled, "That's interesting. What does your marital discord with Xiao Jiayang have to do with me?"

"Because he only compares me to you. You're all good, and I'm all bad. In front of you, I'm nothing. I can't even compare to a single hair on your head. Su Ying, you've already left. Ningcheng is all I have left, but why did you come back? Huh? Do you know what kind of life I'm living now? My mother is right. I was the one who kept clamoring to go back to the Xiao family, and now I'm the one who wants to leave. It's not that I'm too attached to this place, but that I'm unwilling to accept such a failure. I just want to prove myself. Is that wrong too?"

At this point, Nanwu was so excited that tears streamed down her face.

At this moment, Su Ying felt only sympathy, not hatred.

But what did she do wrong? Everyone just gets what they want. Live in the moment and don't have to consider others. Her failure cannot be attributed to herself.

“Miss Nan, to be honest, I never intended to compete with you. I was just living my own life. Returning to the Xiao family and getting a marriage certificate with Fourth Master were also outside my plans. If I were like you, constantly comparing myself to others and doubting myself, that kind of life would be exhausting. You are not a failure, you are just too demanding of yourself. Why not change your way of life? You will be much more relaxed!”

Nan Wu looked at the money Su Ying was offering her, but didn't take it.

Su Ying didn't care, laughing as she put the bag back in her pocket. As she left, she said, "Once you've figured it out, your life will be completely different! Good luck!"

Nan Wu stood there for a long time, and when she turned around, Su Ying had already disappeared.

"You're just being too hard on yourself. Change your lifestyle, and you'll have a much easier time..."

Is it really because she sets too high a standard for herself?
Haicheng.

"Hello, is Miss Qingyan here?"

Su Wen looked up and saw a clean-cut young man standing in front of her. "Just call me Qingyan, don't call me Miss Qingyan. Who's Miss?" "Sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Su Wen kept a close eye on him, because he felt that the young man looked familiar, as if he had been to the store before. "What do you want with her?"

The young man waved the book in his hand, "I'm bringing her something!"

"Oh, then leave it to me, I'll pass it on for you!"

You can tell at a glance that this kid has no good intentions.

"But..." the young man suddenly waved excitedly behind him, "Sister Qingyan!"

"It's you? What brings you here?" Qingyan tucked a stray hair behind her ear, a faint smile on her face.

"You asked for children's English tutoring materials last time, right? I specially found them for you!"

"How about we go over there and talk?"

The two chatted and laughed as they went to a quiet place, and Su Wen felt like she was being ignored, as if she were invisible.

If he hadn't seen it, he would have known she was laughing just now. She had never even smiled at him before.

Su Wen felt a pang of sadness and decided to go over and eavesdrop on their conversation.

Boys these days are especially cunning; you never know how that kid might try to fool you or speak carelessly.
