Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 399 Even if my wife agrees, I still won't agree.

Old Master Xiao turned to Jiang Rourou, his voice softening slightly, "Miss Jiang, who did you say pushed you just now?"

Feeling that someone was standing up for her, Jiang Rourou became even more smug and confident. She pointed at Su Ying again, "It's her. I just wanted to see her paintings, but who knew she would... I know she doesn't like me, but we're all family now, and I sincerely want to get along with her..."

Jiang Rourou's eyes darted down her cheeks, looking utterly aggrieved.

Old Master Xiao nodded. "Alright, I understand. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I won't allow such scheming people to exist in our Xiao family. I will uphold justice for you!"

Jiang Rourou was flattered and overwhelmed. "Thank you, Grandpa Xiao!"

He then gave Su Ying a provocative look that said, "You're dead."

Xiao Jiayang and his mother Chen Wanru were also full of confidence. If they could take this opportunity to lower Su Ying's status in the old man's eyes and ruin her favor, then their eldest son's family would be in charge in the future.

Then, the old man turned to Su Ying, his wrinkled face lowered, exuding an imposing aura. "Xiao Ying, tell me, is what Miss Jiang said true?"

"Of course not, I didn't push her, she fell down on her own!" Su Ying said truthfully.

"Hmph! I see you're lying. Fine, I've given you your chance! But don't forget, our Xiao family is heavily guarded. Except for private residences, every corner is equipped with surveillance cameras. Your every move will be recorded. You'll have no choice but to admit it later!"

boom!
Jiang Rourou's body jolted suddenly.

What? Surveillance?

"Someone, check the surveillance footage!" The old man gave the order, then winked at Su Ying from an angle unseen by others.

Su Ying understood perfectly and responded with a wink.

"Wait a minute!" someone couldn't sit still any longer. "Grandpa Xiao, how about we just let it go? Maybe Su Ying didn't mean it. Anyway, I'm fine. Harmony in the family is the most important thing!"

Grandpa Xiao refused outright, "No! I must make her admit her mistake today, so that others won't follow suit in the future. Miss Jiang, please step aside, I, this old man, will handle this matter!"

"No need, Grandpa Xiao, really no need... I..."

Seeing that her subordinates had actually removed the surveillance cameras, Jiang Rourou was completely stunned.

If others find out that Jiang Rourou deliberately fell to the ground and then framed Su Ying, how will she ever be able to hold her head up in the Xiao family again?

"Ah! Grandpa Xiao, I suddenly remember, it wasn't Su Ying who pushed me!"

Everyone was stunned.

Grandpa Xiao frowned at her. "What did you just say?"

"I... I thought about it again, and it seems that it really wasn't Su Ying who pushed me. I probably tripped over something!" As she spoke, she walked up to Su Ying and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, sister. It's all my fault. I was so startled that I blamed you without thinking. I'm sorry you had to suffer. I hope you won't hold it against me!"

"You've made such a fuss, do you think you can resolve this with just an apology? Even if my wife agrees, I won't!"

The crowd spontaneously made way for him. Although the man was travel-worn, his charm remained undiminished; he had long arms and legs and was handsome and dashing.

The moment he appeared, the atmosphere became tense.

He pulled Su Ying's shoulder close, drawing her into his arms. A sharp glint in his eyes swept over Jiang Rourou, making her heart pound. "Grandpa, your efficiency is terrible! Either don't say my wife pushed her, or prove her innocence. What is this? It's all so unclear, it's like you're taking pity on my wife and letting her off the hook! How about this, while everyone's here, let's pull up the video and see for ourselves. If it was my wife, I, Xiao Shen, will apologize to Miss Jiang on her behalf. If it wasn't…"

His prolonged sound carried a chilling and sinister aura that seeped into one's bones, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Someone, check the surveillance footage!" Xiao Shen snapped his fingers, he was serious.

Jiang Rourou opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, sweating profusely with nervousness.

Chen Wanru and Xiao Jiayang waited for Xiao Shen to be proven wrong.

Even the most powerful and influential person in the Xiao family will have a day when they get humiliated. It will be hilarious. Anyway, they don't even need to lift a finger. It's a good opportunity to deflate Xiao Shen's arrogance.

The men who were going to check the surveillance footage arrived quickly. Jiang Rourou's legs went weak, and Chen Wanru and Xiao Jiayang helped her up.

"Fourth Master, the surveillance cameras near the hexagonal pavilion in the front yard are broken and have no usable value!"

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Rourou seemed to come back to life in an instant, her spirits lifted.

Xiao Shen frowned, then cast a questioning look at Old Master Xiao, who coughed lightly twice, his fist pressed against his lips.

"Well, since that's the case, everyone can go home now. This was just a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that and go back to get some rest!"

Then everyone dispersed.

"What bad luck! Su Ying is lucky!"

"I never imagined she was so vicious, she almost harmed my grandson!" Chen Wanru said, glaring reproachfully at Jiang Rourou. "Honestly, why did you keep pleading for that Su Ying? We should have taken this opportunity to trip her up! So what if Fourth Brother is here? Everyone's watching!"

"Yes, Rou Rou, why did you plead for Su Ying just now? If you let her go this time, she might harm you and the child again next time. This kind of woman is a ticking time bomb!"

"me……"

Faced with the questions from Chen Wanru and her son, Jiang Rourou fidgeted with her fingers, unsure how to answer.

Chen Wanru, having weathered many storms, immediately noticed something was wrong with her. She nudged her and asked, "Rou Rou, you didn't actually fall on purpose to frame Su Ying, did you?"

"I... I just wanted to teach her a lesson and show her what I was capable of! Who told her to knock on the door like that and not even let me see her things? What's so great about her? It's just a broken painting!"

"So you risked your life? Gambled with the life of the child in your womb?" Xiao Jiayang asked incredulously.

Seeing that Jiang Rourou was too guilty to speak, he raised his hand and almost hit her face.

Jiang Rourou shrank back in fright, then pressed her pregnant belly against Xiao Jiayang, saying, "Fine, hit me, hit me, go ahead and hit me, go ahead and do it! It would be best if both of us died, let's see what you end up with!"

Xiao Jiayang was pinned against the wall, his raised hand gesturing and pointing at her a few times in the air. "You idiot, you almost lost your baby over something so trivial. Don't you even use your brain? Was it worth it? Don't you want a share of the Xiao family's assets? Huh?"

"I……"

Jiang Rourou was speechless after being rebuked. "Alright, alright, I'll be more careful in the future. It's all because Su Ying always goes against me. I just wanted to teach her a lesson, but who knew..."

Chen Wanru pouted in dissatisfaction, thinking to herself, "How could Jiayang have chosen such a stupid woman? He must have had bad luck in his past life."
