Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 321 I'll risk my life for you
Nan Wu's bruises hadn't faded yet, so she naturally couldn't let her appear here, otherwise how would she explain it to the old man?
This is all my son's fault. I told him a thousand times and he never remembered to hit the inconspicuous places. Honestly!
"Sister-in-law, when you have free time, you should pay more attention to Miss Nan. I heard she has been frail and sickly since childhood. Look at the fourth son's wife, she got pregnant without saying a word. As the mother-in-law, you should put in more effort to help her have a child and make sure she has a good body!" Lan Ruo was the one who spoke. On the surface, she was concerned about the continuation of the eldest son's family line, but in reality, she was mocking them for not producing any results.

Even though Chen Wanru was seething inside, she could only respond with a smile, "Lan Ruo is right, it was my oversight. I'll arrange it for her tomorrow!"

What's it to you? You're just crocodile tears! Mind your own business!
"Oh dear, the fourth son and his wife didn't come today. Dad, look at them. Miss Su has only just registered her marriage and hasn't even had the wedding yet, but she doesn't respect you as an elder. She's too lazy to even come over for breakfast. It's outrageous! I don't know how the fourth son raised her!" Chen Wanru changed the subject, shifting the blame to Su Ying.

Lan Ruo wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, glancing at the old man to observe his reaction.

Just when everyone thought the old man would be furious at this embellishment, he did something unexpected.

"The young couple has just moved in together, so it's inevitable that they'll find it hard to part. It's good for them to develop their relationship and also help the boy settle down a bit!"

Everyone present: "..."

Chen Wanru: What's wrong with the old man? His favoritism is too obvious!

Xiao Jiayang: We're both surnamed Xiao, so why is there such a big difference in treatment?

Lan Ruo: Now the eldest son's family has no fun!
"I'm finished eating, you can take your time!" The old man walked away first, leaning on his dragon-headed cane.

As he passed by Xiao Shen's residence, he suddenly asked, "Do you think I should go and visit them?"

"Master, just do as you please!" The old steward saw it all and understood it perfectly.

"Tell the kitchen to deliver breakfast to the fourth apartment building. Young people, how can you not eat breakfast! I'll supervise it myself!"

Old Butler: This is indeed quite obvious favoritism!
The old man arrived early, before Sheng Yu went to work. Su Ying, who had been disturbed all night, came downstairs to find water, only to run into the old man who had just entered the door. Startled, she quickly wrapped her open bathrobe around herself.

"Grandpa, oh no, Dad, good morning!" Su Ying forced a smile.

"Su Ying, you're not wearing anything!" Xiao Shen came out of the room shirtless, his hand still hooked around her black stockings. Su Ying's vision went black when she saw this.

She frantically tried to lip-read him, but he couldn't read her words at all, until he also saw the old man.

Su Ying was speechless, feeling like she wanted to die.

"Hey! What a rare sight today, what wind blew you here, old man!" Xiao Shen casually put the black dress into his pocket, his tone lazy, as if he had just woken up.

The old man glared at him. "Hmph! Shameless! Hurry up and put your clothes on and come over here!"

Xiao Shen smiled, still unhurried. Su Ying didn't know what the old man wanted to say to Xiao Shen. Anyway, she went back to her room to change her clothes. It was too indecent to see people in her pajamas. Speaking of which, it was all Xiao Shen's fault for forcing her to wear those messy sexy lingerie, all kinds of revealing outfits. Luckily, she changed before going downstairs, otherwise, the scene would have been very awkward.

As soon as Xiao Shen approached, the old man raised his cane and struck him, yelling, "You brat, you can't even wait when your wife is pregnant! If you lose my grandson, I'll fight you to the death!"

Xiao Shen stopped the cane, both amused and exasperated. "Grandpa, you have too little faith in my skills. I guarantee it will be foolproof!"

"What are you guaranteeing! In short, the first three months are the danger period, so you better behave yourself, you hear me?"

Xiao Shen deliberately said, "I'm a normal man, you can't expect me to endure this for three months, can you?"

"So what? As long as he doesn't die!" The old man's words were sharp and to the point. "If all else fails, you can just buy an inflatable doll to tide you over. In short, my grandson is more important than you. You better remember that!"

"Pfft!"

The old man and the young man looked in the direction of the sound, and Su Ying, having been discovered, immediately straightened her back and stepped down. She had heard everything just now, and she never expected that the imposing old man would actually tell his son to buy an inflatable doll to satisfy his sexual needs. This was quite a shocking father-son relationship in the world.

Laugh to death!

"Xiaoying, come here, I have something to ask you!" The old man immediately reverted to his fatherly affection when he saw Su Ying.

Su Ying glanced at Xiao Shen, then obediently walked towards the old man.

Xiao Shen gritted his teeth.

She's only been here a few days, why is she so favored?
"This is none of your business, what are you still standing here for?" The old man glared at Xiao Shen and tapped the floor with his dragon-headed cane.

Xiao Shen laughed angrily, "Fine, I won't bother you!" He turned and went upstairs.

"Sakura, please sit down!"

The old man gestured for her to sit down, and Su Ying crossed her arms and placed them on her knees, looking just like a well-behaved girl.

"You've seen Ruonan recently, haven't you? How is she?"

Su Ying was surprised that the old man would suddenly ask about Xiao Ruonan. At the same time, she was happy for Xiao Ruonan. This at least proved that the old man was a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He was ruthless in kicking Xiao Ruonan out, but in reality, he was very reluctant to let her go. However, things had come to this point, and he had to give himself a way out and establish his authority.

Su Ying told him about Xiao Ruonan's recent situation, and soon she saw something shining in the old man's eyes—the heartache and longing of an old father for his daughter.

When he finally left, the old man didn't say anything and seemed very indifferent, but only Su Ying knew how much he regretted his actions of driving his daughter away.

……

It was a very cold day. Xiao Ruonan stood by the roadside, breathing hot air into her mouth, and kept looking into a villa.

Soon a strong, muscular man with broad shoulders came out. Xiao Ruonan, who had been listless, immediately perked up and ran over to him.

Ning Zhiyuan opened his arms and caught her.

The warm embrace instantly warmed Xiao Ruonan up, and she pouted, complaining, "Why are you only getting off work now!"

She waited there for almost an hour, and her feet were numb from the cold.

"Sorry, something came up that I had to take care of, so... Are you cold?"

Xiao Ruonan nodded, looking aggrieved.

Ning Zhiyuan took her hands in his arms and breathed on them to warm them. Looking at the little woman's nose, which was red from the cold, he felt an indescribable guilt.

"So, you have to treat me to something delicious to make up for it!"

"Okay, you can choose whatever you want to eat!" Ning Zhiyuan took off his coat and draped it over her.

Xiao Ruonan did not refuse. She felt that this was a sign of love from the man she loved, and she should accept it.
