Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 381 Credit Card Swipe

Xiao Jiayang was enraged by the retort, "Jiang Rourou, don't you think too highly of yourself? It's illegal to use my credit card without my permission. Believe me or not, I can call the police and have you arrested. Do you know that I just ruined my fourth uncle's project, and now you're spending money like crazy? What will people think of me? Huh?"

"How would I know? I didn't do it on purpose!" Jiang Rourou realized the seriousness of the situation and her confidence waned.

Thinking about his experiences over the past few days, Xiao Jiayang grew angrier and angrier. He pointed at Jiang Rourou's nose and growled, "You bitch! My mother was right, you're a jinx! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be looked down upon by the second and third wives again. It's all your fault! Someone like you wants to enter the Xiao family? Dream on! Get out!" Hearing him say he wanted to kick her out, Jiang Rourou flew into a rage, jumping up to retort, "Xiao Jiayang, you heartless bastard! Wasn't I doing this for your own good? Besides, you ruined the project yourself, and you want to blame it on me? You're ridiculous! You want to kick me out? Not so easy! You believe me? The moment I leave, I'll expose all your dirty secrets to everyone, let everyone know about your shady dealings, Xiao Jiayang..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Jiayang quickly covered her mouth and threatened fiercely, "If you dare to let out a single word, believe me, I'll kill you!"

Suddenly his expression softened, and he put his arm around Jiang Rourou's shoulder. "Rourou, I acted impulsively just now. You know my situation in the Xiao family right now. Everyone dislikes me and is waiting to see me make a fool of myself. It's one thing that my work ability isn't great, but to keep using my credit card like this will make people gossip. Some people in the mansion love to add fuel to the fire, so I have to be careful. You agree, right?"

"What you just said..."

Xiao Jiayang pretended to slap himself twice, then smiled apologetically, "I was just joking with you. How could I bear to send you away? Don't be angry, okay?"

Jiang Rourou snorted coldly, "That's more like it! Actually, the reason I spent so much money today was because of you, wasn't it?"

"because I?"

"Yeah, think about it. All my friends are here, so of course I have to do my best to show off your status, Young Master Xiao. I swipe my card without batting an eye, which proves that you, Brother Jiayang, are very wealthy. What would they think of you if I dressed shabbily?"

Xiao Jiayang thought about it and realized it made sense. He pulled the woman into his arms and said, "Oh, my Rou Rou, you really care about me. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well!"

Jiang Rourou pushed him away. "Hmph! Stop talking nonsense. You men are all the same. If you could believe what you say, pigs would fly. I'm just asking you, when are you going to get your marriage certificate?"

"Well..." Xiao Jiayang rubbed his hands together, stammering, "The marriage of the Xiao family's children is a big deal, and it needs to be discussed beforehand."

"Okay, shall we have the wedding?"

Xiao Jiayang was in an even more difficult situation. He had asked his mother before, and she said that Chen Wanru didn't like Jiang Rourou at all and was thinking of dragging it out for as long as possible, and would find an opportunity to dump her one day. As for the old man, it was just an excuse he made up. As for matters of marriage, as long as they agreed, that was fine.

But he didn't want to marry Jiang Rourou either. Who would marry a woman they were already tired of? Unless they were crazy. So for now, he could only postpone it.

"Rou Rou, listen to me. Now that I've informed Grandpa and the others, I won't go back on my word. Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly. Of course, we need to be fully prepared. We're still young, so there's no rush to get our marriage certificate. Anyway, you've already moved into the Xiao family. How could I go back on my word?"

Jiang Rourou knew Xiao Jiayang all too well; this guy was incredibly cunning. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Let me tell you, if you dare to scheme behind my back, I'll make you regret it!"

Xiao Jiayang chuckled and hugged her. "Don't worry, I love you so much, why would I scheme against you? You're overthinking it!"

From an angle unseen by others, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes...

……

Mu Sha ignored Qian Xingjie for a while. When Qian Xingjie pretended to ask her to come to the company to help, she asked someone else to do it for her. When he invited her to dinner, she didn't reply to his messages and wouldn't answer his calls.

Qian Xingjie was busy with business as soon as he took over as chairman of Qian's Group. In addition, he was frequently on business trips and couldn't pay attention to Mu Sha. When he returned from this business trip, he came to find Mu Sha with gifts, only to find her flirting with another man.

"Who is that man?" The subordinate replied, "He's the bodyguard the master hired for the young lady!"

"Let's find an excuse to open it!"

"what?"

In the evening, the three members of the Qian family had a rare family dinner together.

After being released from confinement, Qian Ke'er did become much more obedient, staying indoors all day long, which was a big difference from before. She seemed to have grown a lot, which made Qian Huai'an very gratified.

At the dinner table, Qian Xingjie also received praise from Qian Huai'an, who said that he was capable, intelligent, and responsible.

Qian Xingjie appeared humble, repeatedly saying that it was all thanks to the support of the company's veterans, but inwardly he was overjoyed. This was the first time he had received formal praise from Qian Huai'an, and it was hard-won.

He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

The table was laden with wine, and with just a few drinks, he had Qian Huai'an all smiles. After the family dinner, the father and son chatted about work in the study for an hour before Qian Xingjie finally came downstairs.

His gaze was fixed on Musa, who was wearing a black bodysuit and stylish black cargo pants. Her hair seemed shorter than before, but it didn't detract from her pretty and cool look.

Musa was peeling an orange for Qian Ke'er when she looked up and met Qian Xingjie's gaze. She looked away as if ignoring him for only a second.

"elder brother!"

"how are things?"

The brother and sister greeted each other.

Qian Ke'er curled her lips bitterly, "What's there to talk about? You won't let me leave the house, I feel like I'm in prison!"

Qian Xingjie put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, "Once Dad calms down, he'll naturally let you go out. Don't worry!"

After saying that, he rubbed his temples. "Xiao Chen took the day off today. Can I borrow Mu Sha from you for a bit?"

Before Qian Ke'er could speak, Mu Sha said anxiously, "No, I still need to take care of Miss Ke'er. Young Master, you should find someone else!"

"I'm really feeling a bit unwell right now. They're all driving too fast. You're much more steady!" After saying that, Qian Xingjie handed the car keys to Mu Sha and turned to leave.

“Hey, young master, but I…”

"Alright, alright, just do as I say, stop arguing!" Qian Ke'er said impatiently, her head aching from their noise.

Musa had no choice but to nod, "Yes!"

Just as Qian Xingjie said, Mu Sha drove very steadily. From beginning to end, Qian Xingjie's eyes never left her, but Mu Sha never looked at him once, which made him feel very frustrated.
