Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 361 I'm Going to Be a Dad
"It's like this, as you know, after the Nan family fell from grace, Rou Rou and I used all our savings to pay off Nan Dongxue's debts. Our lives are getting harder every day. This morning, the landlord even threatened us, saying that if we don't pay the rent, he will kick us out. What are we going to do then, Miss Su? You are the only family we have in Ningcheng right now. You must help us!"

To convince Su Ying, Jiang Xue even produced the rental agreement, and as she spoke, she started crying uncontrollably.

Jiang Rourou also started crying to join in, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, creating a very pitiful scene.

How many do you need?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue immediately perked up and held up one finger, "Not much, just one million. We can talk about it later if needed!"

"Sure, I can give it to you right now!" Su Ying took out a check from her bag.

Jiang Xue excitedly reached for the check, but then withdrew it, saying, "Write an IOU first!"

Jiang Xue was taken aback. "What? You want me to sign an IOU?"

Su Ying shrugged. "Otherwise what? This is a loan I gave you. The interest will be based on the market rate, and if you don't repay it on time, the interest will double!"

"Su Ying, what do you mean? Our Nan family has been kind to you before, and you owe us this. You're making a big deal out of a mere million? Aren't you the fourth wife of the Xiao family? Is a million really worth all this fuss about? It's laughable!"

Su Ying covered her mouth and repeated her words, "It's really laughable. No matter whose money it is, it's not yours. Since it's not yours, of course you should repay what you borrow, and it's not difficult to borrow again. I only lent you money because I felt sorry for you out of respect for Nan Dongxue. You and your daughter have lived in the Nan family for a long time, and now you think you're the masters of the Nan family. You haven't even received the money yet, and you already think it's yours? Even if a pie fell from the sky, you wouldn't be so ready to get it, would you?"

"Me!" Jiang Xue choked.

Jiang Rourou gritted her teeth, "Su Ying, to put it bluntly, if it weren't for our Nan family, how could you have seduced Fourth Master Xiao? You wouldn't have become the Fourth Madam of the Xiao family. What's wrong with giving us this little bit of money? Even ten million isn't too much!"

"Ten million isn't a lot, so why don't you give it to me?"

"This..." Jiang Rourou also gave up.

The mother and daughter were both too loud for Su Ying to handle. Jiang Rourou continued her tirade, but Su Ying ignored her and strode confidently into the house, leaving Jiang Rourou and her daughter struggling to get in.

Just then, Chen Wanru came out from inside. Jiang Rourou, seizing the opportunity, excitedly rushed over, "Madam!"

Chen Wanru was startled by her abruptness. "Who are you?"

"It's me, Jiang Rourou!"

"Oh, it's you. What are you doing here? Get out of here right now, I warned you before!"

Jiang Rourou didn't want to find Chen Wanru either. She had heard Xiao Jiayang say that his mother was very shrewd, and she didn't want to be messed with by Chen Wanru. She just wanted money.

"Madam, hasn't Brother Jiayang mentioned this to you recently?" Jiang Rourou deliberately asked, trying to sound mysterious.

"say what?"

"Tell me the truth about him and me, we've actually gotten back together!"

Last time, they almost ended up in bed together, their old feelings rekindled, but Xiao Jiayang messed up halfway through, and things didn't go as planned.

However, it can also be considered a rekindling of old feelings.

"What did you say? You two..." Chen Anru was so angry that her hair was trembling.

"Madam, I'm sorry, we truly love each other. I know Jiayang won't marry me, but I don't mind, and I won't pester him for a title. I just hope to stay with him for as long as I can! As for those mistresses behind Jiayang, I will coexist peacefully with them and will never cause you or Jiayang any trouble!"

Chen Anru's face turned green when she heard this.

It turns out that Jiang Rourou already knew. Although she said this now, she couldn't guarantee what trouble might arise in the future. If this matter got out, their eldest branch of the family would lose even the last bit of status in the Xiao family.

No, I have to shut her up.

Seeing Chen Wanru reach for her wallet, Jiang Rourou and her daughter Jiang Xue exchanged a knowing smile. They were determined to keep this money!

If they don't make a big profit this time, wouldn't their trip have been for nothing?
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Wanru wasn't touching cash, a bank card, or a check; she was holding a handkerchief. "Let me tell you two, you'd better keep your mouths shut. I'm not as easy to talk to as Jia Yang. If you dare let me hear anything I shouldn't, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, he bent down, got into the car, and left.

The mother and daughter were stunned; they couldn't stop them in time.

"No, she just left like that? What about the money?"

"This is supposed to be a wealthy family? Pshaw!"

Jiang Rourou looked worried. "Mom, what are we going to do now? If we can't pay the rent soon, we'll be evicted!"

Jiang Xue's eyes darted around, "If that doesn't work, go find that old man again and say a few more sweet words!"

“But…” Jiang Rourou has recently become obsessed with playing cards. At first, she could win some money, but later her luck got worse and worse. All her savings went down the drain, and she was in debt. She had just coaxed that old man out of a large sum of money to pay off his debts. It would be unreasonable to ask for money back.

But she didn't have time to think about it anymore; she could only try again...

In the morning, Ning Zhiyuan made Xiao Ruonan's favorite heart-shaped fried egg with oatmeal porridge.

"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

Xiao Ruonan's happiest moment every day is seeing the man she loves as soon as she opens her eyes.

"Ugh..." A strong smell hit her, and Xiao Ruonan suddenly covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom without even putting on her shoes.

Ning Zhiyuan sensed something was wrong and quickly went over to her, patting her back as he asked with concern, "What happened? Did you eat something bad? Should we go to the hospital?"

Xiao Ruonan shook her head shyly and said, "Actually, I... I've already..."

"Huh? Which one?" Ning Zhiyuan was confused.

"That's the one!"

"Fifth Miss, please be clear, which one is it?"

Xiao Ruonan pushed him away angrily, "What a blockhead!"

Ning Zhiyuan chased after him, "Yes, yes, I'm a blockhead, that's why you need to explain yourself clearly, what's wrong with you?"

She suddenly stopped in her tracks. "You're not pregnant, are you?"

Xiao Ruonan nodded, blushing, "You're smart!"

The next second, she was picked up and spun around.

"I'm going to be a dad! I'm going to be a dad!"

"Idiot, put me down!" Xiao Ruonan punched him.

"No, we have to get our marriage certificate and have the wedding right away. This is too sudden. I wasn't prepared at all. I can't let you follow me without a proper status. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon!"

As he spoke, he went into the bedroom and rummaged through drawers and cabinets looking for the household registration book.

Seeing his eager look, Xiao Ruonan was filled with happiness.

Only after entering his world did she truly understand him; sometimes he was like a child to her.

Xiao Ruonan grabbed him, "I need to go back to the Xiao family to get my household registration book. We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow morning!"
