Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 87 My surname is Nan, why are you kicking me out?
boom-

Nan Wu watched helplessly as Chen Ruyu was sent flying straight away.

In that instant, her mind went blank, and all she could hear was a buzzing sound.

In her sight, the little girl, who wasn't seriously injured, crawled crying to Chen Ruyu's side. She grabbed her mother's hand, her little mouth opening and closing, crying heart-wrenchingly, as if pleading: "Mommy, get up! Open your eyes and look at me! Mommy, Mommy..."

More and more onlookers gathered, and it was only then that Nan Wu finally came to her senses.

She ran across the road, pushed through the crowd, and found Chen Ruyu lying in a pool of blood, barely alive.

It seemed that her daughter's call gave her strength. She opened her eyes with difficulty, grasped the little hand in return, and used her other hand to tremble as she stroked her daughter's tender little face.

Perhaps she felt this was the last time she would touch that face. She wanted to remember her daughter forever, without any regrets, and in the next life, she wanted to be her mother again.

"Mommy, Mommy, please get up! Waaah, I promise I won't be naughty anymore, I'll listen to you, waaah..."

Looking at her well-behaved and obedient daughter, Chen Ruyu smiled with a sense of relief and happiness...

Chen Ruyu passed away on the way to the hospital. That smile was the last gift she left for her daughter.

She wanted her daughter to know that she hadn't left, but had gone to another world, where she would accompany her as she grew up.

Nanwu didn't dare let the little girl accompany her into the ambulance, fearing that Chen Ruyu's departure would cause her lifelong psychological trauma.

She coaxed the little girl, saying, "Your mother has gone to work in another city and is earning you lots and lots of money. She'll even buy you a house. Be a good girl, and your mother will come to pick you up soon!"

She was still a child; in their world, adults wouldn't lie to them. She nodded obediently, then thought for a moment and suddenly looked up. "Auntie, could you tell my mom not to work too hard? Niu Niu will earn lots of money for her mom when she grows up!"

At that moment, Nan Wu almost broke down. She turned her back and forced back her tears. When she turned back, she smiled, bent down, and gently ruffled the little girl's soft hair. "Okay, I will definitely tell her!"

Through her investigation, Nanwu learned that the little girl had a grandmother, so she drove the girl to her grandmother's place. When the old lady learned about Chen Ruyu's situation, she almost fainted from grief. However, out of consideration for the little girl, she forced herself to act as if nothing had happened and said that she would raise the little girl well.

Before leaving, Nan Wu gave the old man a bank card with one million yuan in it.

The old man refused to accept it no matter what, until Nan Wu lied and said, "You've misunderstood, this is something Secretary Chen entrusted me to give to you!"

Before leaving, she left her business card, telling the elderly woman to contact her if she encountered any trouble in the future.

After settling Chen Ruyu's mother and daughter in, Nan Wu returned home, still shaken.

Chen Ruyu's incident happened suddenly. Watching a life disappear in a car accident, Nan Wu felt not only sympathy and pity for the deceased, but also hatred and disgust for the mastermind behind it.

"Really, Dad? You really want to open another clothing store for me in Huirong Shopping Mall?"

“How could Dad joke about something like this? Since you can’t contribute to the company’s business, you can shine in other areas. Anyway, the Nan family isn’t short of money. Just consider it training. As for the company’s business, we can talk about it after you’ve accumulated enough experience!” With a wave of his hand, Nan Dongxue gave Jiang Rourou another clothing store.

Jiang Rourou happily spun around on the spot, took Nan Dongxue's hand, and kept flattering him, "Dad, you're so great, you're simply the best and most handsome dad in the world!"

Jiang Xue felt somewhat comforted that her daughter had benefited, but she still had to maintain appearances. "Dongxue, don't spoil Rourou too much!"

It was clear that Nan Dongxue was in a good mood today. "What's the big deal? I'll spoil my daughter. As long as you two behave yourselves, don't cause trouble, and don't meddle in other people's business, I promise..."

"boom-"

Before he could finish speaking, the tablecloth was suddenly ripped off, and all the food on the table, including the bowls, plates, and soup, was spilled on the floor before anyone had even taken a few bites.

Jiang Rourou screamed in fright and huddled together with Jiang Xue. Nan Dongxue stood up angrily, pointed at Nan Wu's nose, and growled, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"

"Chen Ruyu is dead!" Nan Wu said calmly, but her eyes were filled with grief.

What? Chen Ruyu is dead? Jiang Xue was both surprised and delighted.

As expected, evil deeds have their retribution. Just as she was about to teach that little vixen a lesson, she died. Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!

Nan Dongxue put on an air of superiority, "Hmph! What does her death have to do with me? Besides, stop bringing your bad luck home. I don't want to see you right now, so get out!"

Nan Wu glanced down at the mess on the ground and sneered, "Dad, I never expected you to be so cruel. Chen Ruyu was already preparing to go abroad with her daughter. She gave up on exposing you at the magazine and just wanted to start over with her daughter. What did she do wrong? Why did you have to be so ruthless and take her life?"

These words struck like a thunderbolt, and Jiang Rourou and Jiang Xue both looked at Nan Dongxue.

Nan Dongxue slammed his fist on the table, furious. "You brat, you keep saying I killed Chen Ruyu, do you have any proof? Let me tell you, I don't bother fighting with a woman. If you keep spouting nonsense and damaging the reputation of the Nan family, I'll kick you out of the Nan family!"

Jiang Xue jumped in again, feigning concern, "Yes, Xiao Wu, you can't say things like that, your father..."

"Shut up! When did it become your place to meddle in the affairs of the Nan family, someone with no title or status?"

Jiang Xue was stabbed hard, her fingertips gripping her clothes tightly, her face more ashen than a dead person's, yet she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Jiang Rourou, oblivious to the danger, stood up to defend her mother, "Who said my mother has no status or identity? My mother doesn't fight or compete; she just wants the family to be happy. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Is it meaningful to slander others like this?"

Nan Wu chuckled, "She certainly wants to compete and snatch, but can she really win?"

"you!"

"Enough!" Nan Dongxue roared, glaring at Nan Wu. "My Nan family has no daughter like you. Since you're not going to enjoy your life, then get out of here and don't ever come back!"

Nan Wu raised an eyebrow. "Get out? Please, my surname is Nan, this is my home, why should I leave?"

Her disdainful gaze swept over Jiang Rourou and her daughter. "If anyone's leaving, it'll be them. Of course, if you don't want to stay here with me, then you can stay with them!"

"You..." Nan Dongxue clutched his chest and slumped into his chair, pointing at Nan Wu. "You brat, now you've learned to kick me out, huh? What sins did I commit in my past life to give birth to such an ingrate? Huh? Fine, you don't want to accuse me of murder? Go ahead and report me to the police station, let's see what you can do!"

Nan Wu crossed her arms, her expression indifferent. "The count is correct. You've already taken care of everything, what can I do? But..."

She paused, then took a few steps closer, exuding an imposing aura. Nan Dongxue's guilty gaze darted away.

"I believe that Chen Ruyu's spirit in heaven will punish the evildoers who harmed her. What do you think, Dad?"

"You... Ouch, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore..."

Jiang Rourou and Jiang Xue rushed forward together, "Dongxue, what's wrong?"

"Dad, are you alright? You look so pale, don't scare me!"

"Quick, Rou Rou, call an ambulance!"

Despite the chaos at the scene, Nan Wu turned her head without looking back and gracefully went upstairs.
