Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 342 A Prosperous Family

Seeing this, Jiang Xue rushed to help her daughter. In a fight against two, Fang Lanxin was clearly no match.

The ward was in complete chaos; if the nurses hadn't arrived in time, the entire ward would have been destroyed.

Looking at the ward that Jiang Rourou and Jiang Xue had smashed into ruins, Fang Lanxin laughed wildly, then burst into silent tears, which terrified Nan Wu.

"Mom, are you alright...?"

"Hahaha... I've become a clown in their eyes again, a pathetic wretch. Fang Lanxin, after so many years of open and covert struggles, you still lost to them. You're such a failure, hahaha..."

"Mom!" Nan Wu couldn't move and watched helplessly as Fang Lanxin staggered out of the ward. She wanted to call for help, but she didn't know who to call.

Xiao Shen was right; she shouldn't have returned to China at all...

"Mom, isn't it strange? Xiao Shen is having an affair with that bitch Nan Wu, so why would he suddenly tell us about her embarrassing secrets? Isn't this just asking us to humiliate her?"

Jiang Rourou was completely baffled when Xiao Shen's assistant, Song Hao, suddenly contacted them and informed them that Nan Wu was hospitalized there.

Jiang Xue felt extremely relieved. "Who cares! Fang Lanxin is destined to be my loser anyway. Didn't you see the look on her face when I humiliated her? She wanted to crawl under the table. It was so satisfying!"

She had schemed to drive away Fang Lanxin and her daughter back then, and now she saw her scheme backfire, making her feel incredibly vindicated.

The mother and daughter burst into laughter.

"By the way, Mom, do you think it's possible that Fourth Master Xiao has taken a liking to me? He used to ignore me so much. What if I could get close to him..."

Jiang Xue poked her forehead hard, "Stop dreaming! If he were interested in you, would you have waited until now? You need to learn from Su Ying's methods!"

Jiang Rourou stomped her foot defiantly, "So what? She was just lucky. She's incredibly slutty. Mom, you wait and see. Now that Xiao Jiayang has dumped Nan Wu, my chance has come again!"

Brother Wang and Brother Zhang are nothing but shrimps in front of the Xiao family. In Ningcheng, only the Xiao family can be called a powerful family. As long as she can enter the Xiao family, she is willing to shamelessly go to Xiao Jiayang to beg for peace again.

……

Xiao Shen has been coming home very early lately. He changed into slippers and stood up. Suddenly, a white blur flashed in his vision.

He paused for a moment, thinking it was due to eye strain from working too hard. He took two more steps forward, and then, whoosh, the white blur flashed by again.

what?
Suddenly, a fluffy, round head peeked out from beside the sofa leg.

Xiao Shen: "..."

Where did this thing come from?
It was a little Bichon Frise with round, watery eyes, short legs, and a short tail. At that moment, it was tilting its little head and staring intently at him.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds between the man and the dog.

"Someone, get this little thing out of here!" Xiao Shen kept a perfect distance from the Bichon Frise; he hated all animals that shed fur.

The maid hesitated, "Fourth Master, this belongs to Fourth Madam, I..."

"Prosperous wealth!"

Upon hearing its owner's call, the little Bichon Frise dashed towards Su Ying. Su Ying bent down, scooped the little creature into her arms, and gently stroked its soft, fluffy fur, which felt wonderful to the touch.

"Didn't I tell you not to run downstairs? You really don't listen!" Su Ying scolded softly.

"I forbid keeping pets at home, especially since it's unsafe for you right now. Get rid of this thing!" The man's tone left no room for argument. Su Ying hugged the little Bichon Frise tightly. "You've already deprived me of my freedom to go out, do you want to deprive me of my hobbies too? Wangcai is someone I found; it's already been abandoned by its owner once. Don't you have any compassion?"

Xiao Shen: "..."

You can't expect sympathy from an animal; it might not even have that for a human.

"Don't worry, I've already had it taken to the vet for a checkup, and it's very healthy. I've also consulted a vet, and as long as I feed it properly, it won't affect me!"

Su Ying's eyes were filled with longing, and her attitude was resolute. She was even prepared to fight Xiao Shen for a few more rounds when he suddenly said, "You'd better keep a close eye on it. If I find it running around, I'll have someone take it away immediately!"

Su Ying was stunned for a moment, then happily spun around in her arms with the little Bichon Frise.

Xiao Shen agreed!
"By the way, what did you call this thing just now?" Xiao Shen took a step forward, then suddenly remembered.

"Wangcai, this is my new dog!"

"This name won't work; I suggest you change it!"

Su Ying pouted and swung her fists a few times at Xiao Shen's back.

The addition of a new member to the room should have been a happy occasion, but Xiao Shen regretted it after only two days. He shouldn't have agreed to let this thing into the room.

When he returned to his room after taking a shower that night, he lifted the covers and his face turned green.

Wangcai was curled up in a circle, fast asleep, when disturbed. It pricked up its ears and glanced at the person, then closed its eyes again.

Xiao Shen laughed in exasperation.

"You little brat, this is my territory, get down here!"

A pillow kicked Wangcai off the bed. Just then, Su Ying came in. Wangcai clung to her trouser leg, looking aggrieved. Su Ying squatted down and picked it up. The little thing seemed to be tattle, letting out a strange cry. At first glance, you might think someone's child was crying.

Su Ying turned her questioning gaze to Xiao Shen, "Fourth Master, Wangcai is such a good boy, why did you hit it? It's just a small animal, it can't talk, you can tell me if it's done something wrong!"

Why bother arguing with a small animal?
Xiao Shen laughed angrily, "I hit it? Which eye of yours saw that? Besides, who allowed it on my bed? Do you know it sheds? If it continues to be so unruly, you'd better get it out of here!"

"Fine, fine, I won't sleep in your bed, okay?" Su Ying soothed as she walked out. "Come on, Wangcai, he may not welcome you, but I do. Let's sleep in the guest room!"

Xiao Shen: "..."

Not only could she sleep in a separate room from him because of this little creature, but she would also ignore him for an entire day because of it. She would play with Wangcai while eating, constantly talking to it as if she could understand canine language. She would hold Wangcai while watching TV and take it with her when going for a walk.

At this moment, Xiao Shen's mind was filled with nothing but Wangcai! Wangcai! Wangcai!

He felt like he had been replaced by this dog; Su Ying only had eyes for Wangcai!

Xiao Shen couldn't take it anymore and slammed down his chopsticks.

Hearing the noise, Su Ying looked at him and asked, "Fourth Master, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Can't you see what's wrong with me? Su Ying, you're always hugging this dog. It's an animal, not a person. I'm your husband. Do you intend to spend the rest of your life hugging it?"

Su Ying said calmly, "You said it yourself, it's an animal and you're a human, so why are you comparing yourself to an abandoned little animal, Fourth Master?" Xiao Shen: "..."

He sensed that Su Ying was taking revenge on him for restricting her freedom.
