The video was accompanied by a few threatening words.

"My cousin seduced my older cousin's fiancé. What do you think Jiang Nan will do if he finds out about this video? How much do you think this video is worth?"

After his initial shock, Xiao Ziqian quickly calmed down and dialed the number.

But a mechanical female voice informed them that the phone could not be answered.

"How is it?" Wen Jizong asked anxiously.

Xiao Ziqian looked at him and shook his head in astonishment.

Little did he know that the video of him and Wen Wan checking into a hotel room would be recorded.

Qi Nianci's face was filled with anger: "It was Jiang Nan, it must have been Jiang Nan who did it!"

"How could that be? If she knew, she would have gone crazy just now. It couldn't be her." Wen Wan suddenly got up from the sofa, standing perfectly fine, as if her foot didn't hurt anymore.

The group looked flustered and uneasy, fearing that their plan would be exposed and ruin their future.

But this happened so suddenly that they were caught off guard and began to speculate.

Finally, Xiao Ziqian calmed down and said, "It was probably paparazzi, or someone who knows us, who took the photos. They just want some money."

"Then give him the money and get the video back," Wen Wan said decisively.

She wanted to be a real heiress.

Over the years, the Wen family has been jokingly referred to as a housekeeper by outsiders.

They said they were working for Jiang Nan.

Wen Wan felt that she had always been suppressed by Jiang Nan and lived in the shadow of the Jiang family.

She doesn't agree!

Wen Jizong and Qi Nianci thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Just then, a noise came from the stairwell.

Jiang Nan came downstairs, struggling to carry a white suitcase.

She descended the last step, pulled out a lever, and came to them.

"What are you doing now?"

Qi Nianci shouted at her in frustration.

Jiang Nan replied neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Move out."

Then, she looked at Xiao Ziqian and Wen Jizong, "I think we should just call it off."

Wen Wan's face flashed with surprise, astonishment, and a little excitement.

It would have been better if she hadn't married Xiao Ziqian.

Then I wouldn't have to share a man with her.

Everyone was stunned. Wen Jizong reacted immediately and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Nan's hand.

Her tone softened, "We misunderstood you earlier. Your uncle and aunt were in the wrong, but you don't need to move out."

"It's too dangerous for a girl like you to be out there all alone. Besides, you don't have a job or income. How will you support yourself?"

Jiang Nan lowered her eyelids and said softly, following his words, "My uncle has always prevented me from gaining experience at a company. I can only try to tutor or find a job at an institution based on what I've learned before, using my piano and painting skills. I can support myself and avoid causing trouble for you and my aunt."

"I just don't know how long it will take to earn enough money to pay that person."

This last sentence caught Xiao Ziqian's attention.

"Who are you giving the money to? Who forced you to give the money?"

Jiang Nan held up his phone. "I just received a text message saying there's a video of you cheating, and he asked me for a million yuan before sending it to me."

With that innocent and alluring face, Jiang Nan spoke these words with a mixture of grievance and stubbornness, leaving no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, the four men's expressions changed drastically.

Wen Jizong immediately asked her to show him her phone. He opened the text message and confirmed that the number that sent the message was exactly the same as the one sent to them.

"Nan Nan, there are scams everywhere these days. This kind of talk is obviously a lie. Don't believe it."

Wen Jizong thought for a moment and reassured her, "Okay, Nannan, if you want to go out and live with your friends, your uncle will agree. But as for getting into the company, let your uncle arrange it later, okay?"

"Arrangement" is a form of rejection.

"I want to go to the operations department, and I hope my uncle will agree." Jiang Nan pretended not to notice his reluctance, her expression firm.

Wen Jizong looked slightly annoyed. "Isn't it good to be a proper young lady? Once you marry Ziqian, you'll be the young mistress of the Xiao family and enjoy a life of luxury..."

Jiang Nan sneered inwardly.

She knew clearly whether she wanted to enjoy happiness or rely on the continuation of family traditions.

She continued to pull on her suitcase, saying, "You guys should cancel the wedding. Anyway, whether the cheating video is real or not, I want to go out and experience things for myself."

"Uncle, thank you for raising me all these years. I'm leaving now."

Jiang Nan was determined to leave.

Wen Wan and Qi Nianci were eager for her to leave, so Xiao Ziqian quickly pulled Jiang Nan back and said to Wen Jizong:

"Uncle, Nan Nan just wanted to gain some experience at the company, and you agreed."

Wen Jizong was always cautious in his actions. After thinking for a while, he decided to calm her down first: "Nannan, if you want to go to the company to gain experience, your uncle will arrange it. But you must agree to get engaged to Ziqian."

He realized his tone had been too harsh, so he coaxed, "You and Ziqian have been dating for two years, and everyone in our circle knows you're getting engaged. Don't be so stubborn, and don't talk about breaking off the engagement again, okay?"

"I don't want to marry Ziqian in the future and make everyone think I'm useless, so I want to go to the company to gain experience. Of course, this is also why I want to move out and live on my own."

"You've all taken care of me all my life. I want to live independently for a while before I get married, okay, Uncle?"

Wen Jizong frowned and looked at Xiao Ziqian.

Xiao Ziqian thought of something and felt a surge of excitement. He quickly gestured for Wen Jizong to agree.

"Alright, I can agree to that." Wen Jizong relented.

Anyway, they'll be engaged in less than twenty days, and then their wedding will be soon.

Even if Jiang Nan moves out, she can't come up with anything interesting.

Besides, he promised to let her go to the company, so he could keep dragging it out indefinitely.

Jiang Nan took the opportunity to back down, reverting to her usual obedient manners. "Thank you, Uncle, for spoiling me so much. Don't worry, once I get to the company, I will definitely study hard and learn how to be a good wife, so I won't embarrass you and Aunt."

"That's right." Wen Jizong smiled insincerely and patted her shoulder.

Jiang Nan lowered his eyelids, a smug sneer flashing in his eyes.

Moving out is just the first step.

Whether she agrees to the engagement or not, it won't change the outcome.

It would be better to take this opportunity to get out of the clutches of the Wen family.

Moreover, Wen Jizong wouldn't easily let her join the company.

She had her own plan!

After discussing these matters, Wen Jizong repeatedly instructed Jiang Nan not to believe what the text message said and told her to block it.

She obediently did as he asked.

Then the driver took her to her new residence.

Xiao Ziqian wanted to deliver it himself, but Jiang Nan refused, saying that if one is to learn to be independent, then one must do everything by oneself.

As soon as she left, the four people had different expressions.

"I feel like something's off with Jiang Nan. She's been acting strange ever since she missed a meal," Qi Nianci said suspiciously.

Wen Jizong's face was grave. "No matter what, she can forget about breaking off the engagement. It looks like we'll have to stir things up and force her to get engaged to Ziqian as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, his sinister eyes narrowed, revealing a calculating glint.

Jiang Nan ignored them and focused on moving out to her own large apartment. At least that way, she wouldn't have to live in constant fear at the Wen family's house, afraid that she would be killed one day.

This large, single-level apartment has everything, and there's even someone to clean it regularly.

Jiang Nan moved in and hardly had to do anything.

But there was something she needed to figure out, so she immediately called Qin Huan to ask if Xiao Beixun might be infertile.

Qin Huan happened to be drinking water when she heard this, and she spat out her water.

"Old Jiang, you're trying to get me into trouble."

Qin Huan protested, "You actually want me to investigate whether Xiao Beixun is infertile?"

What's the difference between this and killing her?

Jiang Nan sighed, "I have no choice but to turn to you."

Qin Huan softened a little after hearing this. "You know what, he came to the hospital to have a physical examination with my mentor. I'll try to find out more about him and ask him for you."
