Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 51 Conspiracy
Nan Wu leisurely savored the dishes for the evening. Seeing this, she didn't even blink, completely unfazed by Nan Dongxue's imposing manner. "Stop calling me 'little sister' all the time. My mother only gave birth to me!"

"you……"

"Alright, alright, it's not easy for our family to have a meal together. Dongxue, just say less. Look how scared the children are!" Jiang Xue, as always, played the peacemaker.

She gently patted Nan Dongxue's chest, easing the situation with just a few words, thus enhancing her prestige as the mistress of the Nan family.

"No, look at her, she doesn't resemble a single one of the Nan family's children at all. No matter how honest Rou Rou is, she shouldn't be bullied like this!" Nan Dongxue said, turning around to comfort Jiang Rou Rou, who had been making a fuss, "Rou Rou, that's just how your sister is. Don't take her words to heart, okay?"

Nan Wu spoke gently, but every word she uttered was like a poisoned steel needle piercing Jiang Rourou's body.

Jiang Rourou's face flushed red and then turned pale as she was confronted, unable to utter a single word. Her hands clenched into fists almost imperceptibly as she looked up and forced a smile. "Dad, my sister is right. I'm useless, but I will try my best and will definitely not let Mom and Dad down!"

Nan Wu, don't be too smug. Just wait and see what you'll do!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, sister, try this dish. I just tasted it, and I'm sure it will suit your taste. You must not have been eating well these past few days while you were away on your business trip. Make sure you eat well at home these next few days!"

Nan Wu found it extremely amusing to see Jiang Rourou, who had been rebuked, still serving her food despite the past grievances.

She watched her quietly, waiting for the next scene to unfold.

really.

"By the way, something really interesting happened to me the other day! At my friend's real estate agency, one of the clients was selling the same villa my sister owns at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, even the house number is exactly the same! Isn't that interesting?!"

Everyone present, except Nan Wu, was taken aback.

"Is that so? Rou Rou, go and investigate for your sister. Find out who is behind this fraud and is even targeting our Nan family. This is outrageous!" Jiang Xue urged, holding Jiang Rou Rou's arm.

Jiang Rourou nodded, "An investigation is definitely necessary, but..."

She looked cautiously at Nan Wu, "Sister, my friend said that clients aren't usually that bored. Could it be that you lost your property certificate or some other documents, and someone took advantage of the situation? That would be troublesome!"

"Yes, that must be it! Xiaowu, hurry up and get the property certificate for me to see. We can't be careless about something this big. There are all kinds of people these days. If it's been tampered with, we'll suffer huge losses!" Nan Dongxue was not only shocked, but also very anxious, more anxious than anyone else present.

He didn't know what trick Old Master Nan had fallen into. He was clearly the son of the Nan family, but the old man transferred the most valuable villa in Lingshan to his granddaughter, Nan Wu.

By the time he found out about this and wanted to say something, it was too late. Nan Wu became the biggest winner after he kicked Fang Lanxin out of the game.

He was unwilling to let his family's property fall into the hands of a young girl, so he planned to take over the villa when the opportunity arose.

Worth tens of millions, that's no small amount, and there's potential for future appreciation. With the Nan family's business plummeting, he's borrowed a lot of money from the bank to try and turn things around. This villa is a substantial asset, so how could he not be anxious if something goes wrong?

pat!

Nan Wu dropped her chopsticks on the ground. The maid brought her new ones, but she waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need them.

"Dad, that person is definitely a liar. My property certificate is safely in the safe, don't worry!" Jiang Rourou noticed her unusual behavior and a shrewd smile appeared on her lips. "Sister, why don't you take it down and let Dad see it? Otherwise, he won't feel at ease!"

“But…” Nan Wu’s grip on the cup tightened, and her expression turned very unpleasant.

Jiang Rourou added fuel to the fire, "How about this, sister, why don't you take us to visit that villa? Dad has only mentioned it, but Mom and I have never been there!"

"It's just a villa, have you become this stingy?"

Nan Wu knew how to hurt people's feelings, and Jiang Rourou's pride was once again severely damaged, almost causing her to lose her balance.

She hated being mocked for being an illegitimate child and for her origins. Because of this identity, she didn't even have the right to bear the surname Nan. Because of this identity, she would always be overshadowed by Nan Wu.

Nan Wu, you despicable woman, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too.

Nan Dongxue couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his hand on the table with a low growl, "Rou Rou is also thinking about this family, unlike you, who treats us like enemies all day long. You don't know how lucky you are. What right do you have to make sarcastic remarks?"

Jiang Rourou gritted her teeth, then raised her voice with a laugh, "My sister doesn't want to show everyone the property certificate, nor does she want to take everyone to visit the villa. Could it be that there's really something wrong with that villa?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Dongxue suddenly looked at Nan Wu, his cloudy old eyes narrowing. "Xiao Wu, what your sister said can't be true, can it?"

Nan Wu's face showed panic at being exposed, "How, how could that be, Dad, nothing like that!"

"If that's the case, then show me the property certificate."

"Um... I don't have the property certificate right now..."

Nan Wu avoided eye contact, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the water glass.

Her unusual behavior was obvious to everyone; it was clear she was guilty.

"You insolent wretch!" Nan Dongxue slammed his fist on the table, grabbed Nan Wu's arm, and lifted her up. His fleshy face turned terrifying. "Tell me, did you sell that villa? If you dare to utter a single lie, get out of the Nan family!"

"Dad!" Jiang Rourou, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, walked over to Nan Dongxue and calmly took his arm. "Please calm down. The matter hasn't been clarified yet. We can't let my sister be wrongly accused!"

Nan Dongxue's eyes flashed with anger. "She can't even produce the property certificate, and she still claims she's been wronged?"

Jiang Rourou felt the time was right and began to steer the conversation to another topic, turning her gaze to Nan Wu, "Sister, you didn't think we didn't care about your illness, so you did something so impulsive to try and save yourself, did you? You're so foolish. You're our family, how could we bear to ignore you?"

Nan Wu shook off Nan Dongxue's grasp, rubbing her arm which was red and sore from being pinched. "What nonsense are you talking about!" she said. "Don't worry, sister. I've always kept your illness in mind. That's why I asked a friend to contact the most authoritative expert in the field of cardiology in the country. With this doctor's help, I believe your illness can definitely be cured!"

"You'd be so kind?" Nan Wu scoffed.
