Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 409 Seeing the Child

Ning Zhiyuan pulled her hand and made way for her on the pebbled path, afraid that Xiao Ruonan might trip over it. "I took the day off, and I'm spending today with you!"

"Ah Lie, you're so good to me!" Xiao Ruonan hugged his arm, tilting her head on his shoulder, just like a young girl who had just fallen deeply in love.

"Ah Lie, I want to swing on the swing!" Xiao Ruonan said, pointing to the swing under the magnolia tree.

Ning Zhiyuan walked over, grabbed the swing ropes with both hands to secure it, and said, "Get on!"

Suddenly, Jiang Rourou appeared out of nowhere, pushed past Ning Zhiyuan, and plopped down on the swing. "Brother Jiayang, come and push me!"

Ning Zhiyuan grabbed the swing rope and coldly reminded her, "Miss Jiang, first come, first served!"

Jiang Rourou glared at him disdainfully, "So what? I sat down first, you can't be that clueless, can you?"

Xiao Jiayang also mocked, "As expected of the dogs our Xiao family used to keep, they're still so loyal! It's just a pity they can't recognize their place!"

"He's certainly loyal! Otherwise, how could he have climbed up the social ladder? If you ask me, he hasn't learned any other skills in the Xiao family over the years, but he has certainly learned to be cunning. Look at him, suddenly he's become a phoenix on a branch, saving him countless years of hard work!"

These two people spoke harshly, each word dripping with venom, showing no regard for Ning Zhiyuan whatsoever.

Before Ning Zhiyuan could retort, Xiao Ruonan spoke first, "Jiang Rourou, you keep saying that he's climbing the social ladder, it's really laughable. Yes, my A-Lie is climbing the social ladder, so what? I'm happy to, I'd love to. Look at yourself, a fallen heiress, isn't she just trying to curry favor with the Xiao family?"

"I..." Jiang Rourou blushed.

Xiao Jiayang stood up for her, "Fifth Aunt, you can't say that. Rou Rou was at least the daughter of the Nan family before, but what is this A Lie? A mere bodyguard, not even as good as a servant in the Xiao family. He just got lucky to get into our Xiao family. Fifth Aunt, we're teaching him a lesson for you, so he won't think he doesn't know his own name and who's going to bully you!"

Xiao Ruonan raised her hand, "No, no, no! If you have kung fu, why don't you teach the person next to you how to behave? She's already so annoying before she's even entered the door. And she calls herself the eldest daughter of the Nan family? How dare she say that? It's ridiculous!"

"No, what do you mean by that? How could I..." Jiang Rourou stood up to confront Xiao Ruonan, but Ning Zhiyuan tapped her shoulder.

"The Fifth Miss is delicate; we mustn't let her get infected with viruses or bacteria!"

Jiang Rourou angrily shook him off, "You stinky bodyguard, how dare you lecture me? Get lost!"

Xiao Jiayang grabbed Ning Zhiyuan by the collar and threatened him fiercely, "I heard you went to be Grandpa's old friend's bodyguard again? Ha! You're destined to be a lowly dog ​​your whole life. Even if you become my brother, you're nothing but a fart in my eyes, let alone becoming the son-in-law of the Xiao family!"

"Jiayang, shut up!" Xiao Ruonan pulled him away. "I forgot to mention you earlier, but listen to me now. No matter what, my husband earned his living through his own hard work. He's my pride. Look at yourself, what can you do?"

"I..." This question stumped Xiao Jiayang; he seemed to know nothing.

"To put it bluntly, you're nothing without the Xiao family. If you weren't the young master of the Xiao family, you would have starved to death on the streets long ago. Everyone should leave themselves a way out. Ah Lie is my husband. Show him some respect when you see him in the future. If you call him by his name again, I won't be polite to you!"

"Ha! What's with the attitude? You've only been in the Xiao family for a few days, and you already think you're something special?"

"Snapped!"

Jiang Rourou was stunned by the slap and it took her a while to recover. She shook Xiao Jiayang's hand and cried out, "Brother Jiayang, you saw Xiao Ruonan hit me, right? Hurry up and hit her back!"

Xiao Jiayang usually just talks big, but when it comes to a crucial moment, he wouldn't dare to touch Xiao Ruonan, since she has Xiao Shen and the old man backing her up.

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Rourou became even more displeased, "You good-for-nothing, you can't even protect your own wife, what use are you?!"

"Slap!" Xiao Jiayang lost control and slapped her across the face. "If you've got the guts, say what you just said again? Calling me a coward? I hate it when people talk to me like that. If it weren't for me, would you be so successful and glamorous now?"

Jiang Rourou covered her face and cried sobbing.

Xiao Ruonan took Ning Zhiyuan's arm. "Honey, let's go, it's too noisy here!"

"it is good!"

Haicheng.

In the ward, a young mother was feeding a two-year-old boy porridge.

The little boy got porridge all over his mouth, and his young mother lovingly wiped it clean for him and then gave him a picture book to look at.

The woman couldn't take it anymore and covered her mouth, sobbing.

After hanging up the phone, Wang's mother started cursing, "Cry, cry, all you know is how to cry! What problem can crying solve?"

Fang Yuan grabbed her arm, "Mom, I beg you, please think of a way to save Hao Hao, okay? He's so young, if he's gone, I don't want to live anymore..."

"Alright, alright, aren't you annoying? It's the same old thing all day long!" The Queen Mother impatiently shook off her hand. "You've seen it yourself, I've tried everything I could think of, but that bitch Qingyan just stood by and watched the child die. What could I do? If anyone's to blame, it's just that the child's life was too short!"

These words made Fang Yuan cry even harder.

Unable to bear the bad luck, the Queen Mother turned and left.

Since her own son didn't help her resolve this matter and she didn't get a single penny of the two million, why is she wasting her time here? She might end up getting sick herself.

This scene was witnessed by Qingyan.

She didn't know why she came to Haicheng. Perhaps she wanted to find out if the matter was true or not. Now it seems that it was true. The child really was seriously ill.

This incident also made her see the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of Wang Zheng and his mother. Those were their own flesh and blood, how could they do this? Did they think that without money, they had nothing left?
"Miss, are you looking for...?"

If it weren't for the nurses seeing them, Qingyan wouldn't have ended up face-to-face with Fang Yuan.

She wiped away her tears, seemingly trying to regain some dignity in front of her former rival, unaware that she had already been defeated by the still charming Qingyan.

"How did you come?"

Fang Yuan was filled with hostility towards Qingyan's arrival.

"I came to Haicheng to take care of some business, and I stopped by to see Hao Hao!" Qingyan handed the toys she brought to the little guy on the hospital bed. "Hao Hao, this is a gift for you. Shall Auntie open it for you?"

As expected, children have no resistance to toys and immediately became excited.

Looking at the harmonious scene, Fang Yuan was very suspicious.

Qingyan probably guessed what was going on, and explained, "Don't misunderstand, as a mother, I understand how you feel. I didn't come here today to mock you!"
