Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 49 You Broke My Heart

However, Nan Wu not only didn't have the courage to curse, but she also had to be grateful, saying, "Thank you, Fourth Master!"

Damn it, what a loser!

Nan Wu grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down. "Fourth Master, could I have another glass? Thank you!"

Although this guy isn't used to being bossed around, he still gives me face.

It's rare to see him so serious; it feels strange, perhaps out of guilt.

"Xiao Wu!" Xiao Jiayang pushed open the door and saw the small woman on the hospital bed. He took her hand with heartache. "Are you alright? I'm sorry I'm late. Assistant Song told me you had a fever. You were fine when I saw you last night. How could you suddenly have a fever?"

"Ahem... well... it's a long story, but thankfully everything is alright now!" Nan Wu's cheeks were burning hot, and she stammered, unable to answer, not daring to look at the culprit at all.

Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it?

Isn't it all because of your dear fourth uncle?
"It's good that she's alright, it's good that she's alright!" Xiao Jiayang then turned to face Xiao Shen. "We have to thank Fourth Uncle for this. If Fourth Uncle hadn't brought Xiao Wu to the hospital in time, we don't know what would have happened!"

"Quickly, Xiao Wu, hurry up and thank your fourth uncle!"

Nan Wu forced a smile and squeezed out a few words through her teeth, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle!"

I thank you so much!

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure!"

He smiled as he spoke to Nan Wu, each word carrying an ambiguity that no one but the two of them could perceive.

Nan Wu nervously avoided his gaze, afraid that Xiao Jiayang might notice something amiss.

"I have something else to do, let's go first!"

Xiao Jiayang was very attentive, saying, "I'll take Fourth Uncle there!"

Xiao Shen had already taken one step out, but upon hearing this, he glanced at him and asked, "By the way, there was a discrepancy in the proofreading of that document. Did you correct it?"

"Huh? When did this happen? Wasn't it already approved?"

Upon seeing Xiao Shen's "kind and innocent" smile, Xiao Jiayang was terrified. "Okay, okay, I'll go and change it right away, I promise I'll make Fourth Uncle satisfied!"

Xiao Shen patted his arm, "Not bad, young man, you have a bright future!"

His gaze swept over his shoulder, leaving Nan Wu with a meaningful look before he turned and left.

Xiao Jiayang followed along excitedly.

That's great! Uncle Si's words just now clearly showed his approval and appreciation for him. Does that mean that he will have Uncle Si protecting him from now on?

Nan Wu stayed in the hospital all day. She didn't know who assigned her a caregiver, but someone also brought her three meals a day. Xiao Shen didn't come again, and she finally had some peace and quiet.

The next morning, she was eager to have the doctor arrange for her discharge so she could go home and rest more, since it wasn't a particularly serious illness to begin with.

Thinking of Su Wen, Nan Wu went to see him again as soon as she was discharged from the hospital.

The previous conversation wasn't over yet, and Su Wen still hadn't given her an answer. What were their next steps? Were they to continue hiding like this? What exactly happened between him and Qian Xue'er back then? Was her death related to Su Wen?

All of this is a mystery.

She wanted to find out the truth, to give her parents justice, and to give the Su family justice.

What's infuriating is that Su Wen actually checked out of the hotel.

Nan Wu randomly grabbed a neighbor and asked, "Where's that handsome guy who lives in this room?"

"You mean Ah Wu? He moved out last night, it was quite sudden, I hadn't heard him say he was leaving before!"

"Where did you move to?"

Neighbor: "How would I know!"

Nan Wu pulled out a few bills. "Here's my contact information. If you see him, please let me know immediately. I'll reward you handsomely!"

The neighbor beamed, "No problem, no problem!"

Undeterred, Nanwu went to the Night Owl Bar and found a handsome guy with a buzz cut.

"Beautiful lady, stop following me! I really don't know where he is!" Nan Wu snatched the cup from his hand, preventing him from doing business. "You're his good friend, I don't believe you don't know. Tell me or I'll scream for help!"

"You..." The short-haired handsome guy was both amused and exasperated. "I'm really scared of you. How can someone so good-looking be so difficult to deal with!"

"To be honest, I really don't know where Ah Wu went. I heard from the boss that he resigned, but as for where he went, I don't know either!"

"If you dare to lie to me..."

"If I dared to lie to you, you could burn my house down, right?" Even the short-haired handsome guy would answer first.

Nanwu was filled with remorse.

I should have known better than to let Su Wen go that day. Now look what's happened, who knows where that kid has run off to again.

It would be fine if they just hid, but what if the Qian family found them...?

In short, knowing that he was still alive, Nan Wu finally felt relieved.

But she couldn't forgive him, and one day she would bring him to her parents to apologize.

Returning empty-handed, I received a phone call.

"Hey beautiful, missed me?"

Nan Wu rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. "Mr. Du, is there something you need so late?"

"It's the same question: would you consider being with me?"

Nan Wu gave a forced smile, "Why don't you go and ask Fourth Master for his opinion on this matter?"

Du Lin on the other end was so angry he laughed, "Fine, you little ingrate, you've broken my heart!"

"Really? Then I'll apologize in advance!"

Du Lin was done for. "Alright, alright, I'm done fooling around. I'm here to tell you something serious. Jiang Rourou asked me to meet her tomorrow. I didn't expect her to be so quick. It seems you underestimated her abilities!"

Nan Wu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I really underestimated her..."

……

Jiang Rourou was determined to get her hands on the villa under Nan Wu's name.

She visited several pawnshops with her few pieces of jewelry, but the prices they offered were all lower than the last; they all thought she was a fool.

But in order to get the resale contract from the homeowner as soon as possible, she swallowed her pride and went to talk to the first owner again, and the price dropped by another million.

In total, she lost a million yuan over three days. Who can she complain to?

In the end, as long as she can bring down that bitch Nan Wu, everything she has done will be worth it.

"Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Rourou got out of the car, and someone called out to her.

"You are……"

"You forgot? I'm the bookstore manager, one of Mr. Du's men. We met a few days ago when you came!" The refined-looking man in a suit introduced himself with a smile.

Jiang Rourou suddenly realized, "Oh, it's you! You've come at the right time. Take me to your boss!"

"I've come to see you about this very matter. The boss went back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors these past few days and entrusted me with the task of signing the exclusive sales contract with you. Here it is, Ms. Jiang. I have all the documents ready and am just waiting for you!"

Jiang Rourou was skeptical. She took the power of attorney, flipped through it, and scoffed contemptuously, "This is such a big transaction, and your boss has such a lax attitude? No wonder your lousy bookstore is always deserted. It'll go out of business sooner or later!"

The refined-looking man gave an awkward smile, bowed, and made a gesture of invitation. "Miss Jiang, this way please!"

"Won't we sign it at your bookstore?" Jiang Rourou asked, puzzled, but she followed along.

The refined man smiled and explained, "The boss said that a girl as beautiful and of such high status as Miss Jiang should not be treated unfairly, so he specifically asked me to arrange a better environment for her!"

As he said this, he opened the car door for Jiang Rourou.
