Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 451 Taking Action Is Wrong
"You bribed Xu Daguo of Ruyi Restaurant to have someone poison the kitchen, causing multiple customers to suffer food poisoning, which led to the closure of Ruyi Restaurant and Su Ying being taken away for questioning. Is this the result you wanted?"

Qian Ke'er raised her chin, her face showing no trace of guilt or remorse; clearly, she didn't want to keep up the act any longer.

"Since Brother Shen already knows, there's no need for me to hide it. Yes, I was the one who instigated it, so what? It's just competition among peers. Survival of the fittest. Whoever is useless will have to close down. Su Ying's lack of ability is her own fault, can she blame me?"

"Ha! Not capable enough?" Xiao Shen turned his head to look at her, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Qian Ke'er, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. What did Su Ying ever do to you? Don't you think what you're doing is ridiculous?"

Qian Ke'er laughed along, but as she laughed, something glistened in her eyes. "Brother Shen, don't you know why I did this? What did you promise me back then? And what have you done now? Ever since you returned to Ningcheng, your eyes have been glued to Su Ying, and even your soul has wandered to her!"

"Brother Shen, don't forget, we are husband and wife. Su Ying is already married. She has Shen Qingfeng, and they have a daughter. What can you change by doing this? Besides, is it really that delicious to pick up what you've already thrown away and eat it again?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Shen hissed. "My affairs are none of your business!"

"I'm warning you, Qian Ke'er, if you don't want me to break the rules, you'd better behave yourself, or don't blame me for turning on you!"

The man turned and walked away, but Qian Ke'er hugged his waist from behind. "Brother Shen, no! Don't ignore me. I just love you too much, that's why I did something so irrational. I won't do it again, please forgive me?"

Qian Ke'er cried so hard that tears streamed down her face, soaking Xiao Shen's back.

However, the man still pried her hands open little by little, walking away with firmness and decisiveness.

Qian Ke'er wiped away her tears, her face slowly rising, filled with malice.

Su Ying, you want to steal my man? Then let's give it a try.

The next day, Qian Ke'er accompanied Xiao Shen to the banquet. She wore a designer dress, adorned with jewels, and exuded an air of elegance.

She and Xiao Shen looked very well-matched.

Everyone called her Fourth Madam, which Qian Ke'er enjoyed immensely and was very satisfied with; this was the result she wanted.

After the drinking session ended, they were seen out of the hotel by their friends.

Qian Ke'er was holding Xiao Shen's arm, and the two appeared to be very loving and sweet.

"Qian Ke'er!"

On the other hand, Su Ying only found out that the owner of Wanjialou was a man, and that she had no connection with this male owner at all, which seemed too strange. Later, as she investigated further, she found out that this male owner was actually Qian Ke'er's subordinate.

The truth is now clear.

Qian Ke'er wanted to kill her, but she saw through her plan. If it weren't for Xiao Shen's intervention that bailed her out of the police station, she might have really faced jail time.

Qian Ke'er looked up when she heard the sound, and before she could react, she was slapped across the face.

The slap caught her off guard, and the tassel earrings on her earlobe swayed.

The event was so sudden that everyone present was stunned.

"Su Ying?" Qian Ke'er gritted her teeth when she saw who it was.

"Qian Ke'er, this is what you deserve!" Su Ying made a gesture to raise her hand again, but this time it was intercepted by a large hand.

Su Ying was so shocked that she staggered back a few steps.

"President Su, if you have something to say, say it. Using force is wrong of you!"

“Brother Shen…” Qian Ke’er seized the opportunity to make a scene, looking pitiful and helpless.

Su Ying's gaze lingered between the two for a moment, then she chuckled.

He never imagined that one day Xiao Shen would defend another woman right in front of him. Yes, they were divorced and separated for four years. The pretense had long since crumbled. He had a new love, and to him, she was nothing more than a woman who had hurt his new love.

Why should you make yourself suffer?

They've been strangers for a long time, haven't they?

"As expected of Fourth Master Xiao, you are very devoted to your wife. But I'm sorry, your wife has tested my patience. What I just gave her was merely a mild warning. If she causes me any more trouble, I, Su Ying, am not one to be trifled with. I am an ordinary citizen and I am not afraid, but you are public figures. If things get ugly for you, don't blame me!"

Su Ying glared at Qian Ke'er fiercely before turning and walking away.

At this moment, Xiao Shen's voice rang out from behind, "I also want to warn President Su that Ke'er is my wife. If you have any problems, you can come to me. But if you lay a finger on her again, don't say I'm bullying a woman!"

Like a sharp sword, it pierced Su Ying and pinned her to the ground instantly.

Blood was gushing out of the wound, and every nerve was aching.

The man who was once intimate with her is now so coldly threatening her in order to protect another woman.

Su Ying wasn't too concerned about herself, but rather about his sudden cruelty and the fact that it was unacceptable to her.

Perhaps I never loved before, and now I feel even less love.

Once you let go, what does his harm matter?
Su Ying clenched her fists and walked away.

Qian Ke'er was very gratified to see this scene. She didn't care whether Xiao Shen still had feelings for this woman or not. As long as he could protect her, that was enough.

Su Ying, you're still far from being as good as me!
After returning home, Su Ying looked preoccupied.

"Mommy, come here for a second!" Sweetie, who was drawing, waved to Su Ying.

Su Ying perked up and walked over, "Why is it so sweet?"

"Mommy, do you think my drawing is bad?"

“This is…” Su Ying frowned.

"This is a handsome uncle! I promised to give him a gift. Mommy, do you think he'll like this painting?"

The man in the painting is dressed in a suit and tie, with a neat hairstyle and distinctive features. Although the child's drawing skills are not yet mature, it is still easy to recognize who the person in the painting is.

Su Ying's face immediately turned cold. She grabbed the torn pieces and threw them into the trash can. "You're never allowed to see him again, never, do you hear me?"

Su Ying's sudden outburst of anger startled Tian Tian, ​​who burst into tears.

Shen Qingfeng came in upon hearing the noise. "What's wrong, Tiantian?"

Sweetie pointed at the trash can, crying and accusing, "Mommy tore up the picture I gave to the handsome uncle..."

Shen Qingfeng glanced at the two crumpled pieces of paper in the trash can, then at Su Ying, who looked preoccupied, and gently comforted her, "Sweetie, Mommy is just too tired, that's why I'm upset. How about this, Daddy will help you glue this painting back together, okay?"

"Mmm!" Sweetie glanced at Su Ying's reaction first, then nodded vigorously.

Su Ying turned and left.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

Damn it, I lost control again because of Xiao Shen. That bastard doesn't deserve it.
