Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 80: Even without merit, there was still hard work.
The next day when she went to the company, her secretary told her that Chen Ruyu had stormed into the chairman's office and made a scene.

Nan Wu immediately turned the corner, and before she even went inside, she heard the sound of things being smashed coming from inside.

"Chen Ruyu, don't talk nonsense. What child? Stop spreading rumors about me. You hold a grudge against me because I expelled you. Believe me or not, I'll sue you for defamation!"

"Whether it's your child or not, we can just do a blood test. Mr. Nan, I've kept some secrets for you out of consideration for your kindness to me. But one thing at a time, five million is what you owe me. I've sacrificed five years of my youth, and now I have nothing left but a child. He's your child too. Doesn't he deserve five million in your heart?"

"Shut up! I'll say it again, you and I are just boss and subordinate, Chen Ruyu. You'll do anything to get money from me. Get out of here and don't let me see you again!"

Nan Dongxue stubbornly denied it, and waved to security, "Get her out of here immediately!"

"Let me go! I'm telling the truth! Don't be fooled by his wolfish nature. He's a heartless, lecherous scoundrel who betrays his benefactors and is utterly selfish..."

Chen Ruyu looked up and bumped into Nan Wu. She opened her mouth, overwhelmed with sorrow.

Her shouting drew the attention of the company employees along the way, who whispered among themselves and discussed the matter.

"Really? Secretary Chen and our Chairman Nan? Holy crap! This is incredible!"

"I never imagined that Chairman Nan, at his age, would still like to date young girls. Secretary Chen is really going all out for money!"

"One party is willing to give, and the other is willing to receive. It's possible that the negotiations have fallen apart, and poor Secretary Chen has even lost his job. Sigh!"

"Tch! Selling oneself for personal gain, what's there to sympathize with? To put it bluntly, it's shameless!"

Chen Ruyu was roughly thrown out of the company, her knees were scraped, her skirt was dirty, her hair was messed up, and she looked quite disheveled.

She dusted herself off and tidied her hair. "You must be thinking of laughing at me, right? I didn't listen to your advice, and I won't admit it until I'm faced with the consequences!"

Nan Wu laughed, "It's true, you're so stupid. You could have just taken the money I gave you and run away. Why did you have to test the old man's sincerity? Don't you think that if he had any feelings for you, would he send you to another man to drink and sleep with? Women, don't get too emotional. It's just a game between two people. Look, when it comes down to it, he's ruthless. What are you after?"
Chen Ruyu smiled sadly, turning her head to look elsewhere, "You didn't say I was right, I deserve it, I was wrong from the very beginning!"

Seemingly recalling the past, her eyes gradually thickened, reddening with resentment. "I hate that I was short of money back then, and I hate that I turned to him when I was desperate. He helped me, but he also ruined me. For countless days and nights, I became his tool to satisfy his physical needs. I carefully survived at Nan's Company, saving the money Nan Dongxue gave me. I believed that as long as I saved enough for the surgery, I could save my Nini. For her to live, I would be willing to be with more men than with President Lei. They are right, I am dirty, I am that despicable. I love money more than anything. Whoever gives me money, I will be with them!"

Nan Wu frowned.

Chen Ruyu stroked her lower abdomen, her tone filled with hatred, "It doesn't matter if Nan Dongxue doesn't admit it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't give me money, anyway, we've already torn off all pretense of civility. He's ruthless to me, and I won't have any expectations of him!"

"What are your plans for the next step?" Nan Wu probed.

Chen Ruyu paused for a moment, then looked up, her eyes filled with determination, "I'm going to expose him to everyone and ruin his reputation!"

Nan Wu's brow twitched. "Although I don't object, I don't support it either. Do you know how dangerous this is?" She sighed and continued to persuade her, "I'll say it again: my dad is a ruthless man. If you want to live a peaceful life with your child, then abort the child. Do you really want to give birth to a child of a man you don't like? Don't torture yourself for revenge!"

Chen Ruyu seemed to be persuaded, but her eyes remained hesitant.

"I've said what I needed to say, Secretary Chen. You'd better watch yourself!" After saying this, Nan Wu turned and stepped into the company.

Whether Chen Ruyu listened or not is unknown, but in any case, she has said everything she needed to say. Nan Dongxue is a scoundrel, and Chen Ruyu doesn't need to drag herself down with him.

When Jiang Xue found out about this, she was so angry that she didn't eat all day.

"Nan Dongxue, you bastard! I've served you so diligently for so many years, I've done my best even if I haven't done anything great, how could you treat me like this? Huh? What did I do wrong?"

"Why is my life so miserable? No, I have to go and ask him why he did this to me. What does that woman have that I don't, except that she's younger...?"

Jiang Rourou grabbed her arm, "Mom, calm down. If you go to find my dad now and make him lose face, it won't do us any good!"

"Then what should I do? I can't just pretend I don't know, can I? I can't do that, I'll go crazy!" As she spoke, Jiang Xue began to sob.

Jiang Rourou helped her to the sofa and poured her some water to calm her down. "Mom, don't be sad. Think about it. These days, which man with status and money doesn't have three or four women around him? It's all just for show. No matter how much those mistresses cause trouble, they can't make a ripple. You will still be the mistress of the Nan family. Once Dad's novelty wears off, he'll dump them anyway. But you're different. You are husband and wife. You are Mrs. Nan. You have status and position, which those little sluts can't compare to!"

Jiang Xue stopped crying. "You mean, you want me to turn a blind eye?"

Jiang Rourou wiped away her tears. "You've been like this all these years. To put it bluntly, you know my dad's hobbies and habits perfectly well. He just likes to find women. Back then, you finally beat out so many beauties to become Mrs. Nan. Why can't you hold your temper now? Getting angry is bad for your health. If you ask me, you should just not pursue it. Pretend you don't know anything and do what you need to do. That way, you'll be seen as tolerant, understanding, and forgiving by my dad. What do you say, Mom?"

Jiang Xue's mood improved, and she looked at her daughter with admiration, "Rou Rou, when did you become so smart?"

Jiang Rourou said proudly, "Isn't that because I inherited Mom's true skills?"

Jiang Xue placed the teacup on the coffee table and took a breath. "You're right. What can I do if I pursue it? What can I do if I question him? You've been a womanizer for more than just a year or two. I can control him today, but I can't control him tomorrow. Let him be!"

“But that bitch’s child…” Jiang Xue squeezed Jiang Rourou’s hand, her face full of worry. “Rourou, as long as that child is born, half of your property will belong to him. This is something your mother worked so hard to get for you!”

Jiang Rourou gripped her hand in return, "I know, don't worry, I have a way!"

"Miss!"

Nan Wu is back.
