The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

The reprimanding words fell.

Wen Wan and Xiao Ziqian entered through the door.

Wen Wan overheard those words and pointed at Jiang Nan, demanding, "Which man's car did you get out of just now? You've kept saying you wanted to break off the engagement, isn't it because of this man? You didn't come home all night, did you do something to betray Brother Ziqian?"

Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Wen Wan warily.

It's unclear whether she and Xiao Ziqian saw something.

Before she became pregnant with Xiao Beixun's child, she wasn't confident that she could turn Xiao Beixun into her own weapon.

Wen Wan sneered, "Why are you too scared to speak? It seems you didn't come home all night because you were having a secret rendezvous with that wild man. No wonder you left the dinner party yesterday; it must have been because of him, right?"

Wen Wan's words were harsh, and Xiao Ziqian looked at Jiang Nan with suspicion.

"Nan Nan, were you just near the Emperor Port Hotel, getting out of a man's car?"

Jiang Nan clenched her fists, her aloof expression remaining calm. "You saw it was a man?"

Xiao Ziqian choked.

He didn't even see the license plate number before the car drove away.

"Driving such a nice car, what else could he be but a man?" Wen Wan retorted.

Qi Nianci angrily rebuked, "Jiang Nan, we've raised you for years, teaching you to be knowledgeable and reasonable, nurturing your elegance and beauty, and even finding you such a wonderful husband, the Xiao family! How could you do something so shameless!"

Wen Wan held Qi Nianci's arm, her gentle voice soft and soothing.

"Mom, maybe my cousin doesn't like how you and Dad control her. She keeps saying she wants to call off the engagement. I don't know if she's unhappy with your and Dad's arrangements, or if she just naturally likes to play these kinds of games..."

That's obvious; it's clear she slept with a man last night.

Although it is true.

However, Jiang Nan hadn't paid much attention before, but now he realized that Wen Wan was actually an aged Pu'er tea.

Jiang Nan stared at her coldly: "You slept under my bed last night. Are you so sure I was messing around with another man?"

"It was you who was fooling around with men at the hotel last night."

Jiang Nan looked at Xiao Ziqian with a meaningful gaze.

A flicker of guilt crossed Xiao Ziqian's eyes. "Nan Nan, why have you been saying such awful things these past few days? We were just asking you a question."

Jiang Nan looked at him with amusement.

I don't know what I liked about him for those two years, that I was so badly deceived by him.

She was so close to becoming the lead actress in "The Vanished Wife".

Wen Wan looked aggrieved and hurriedly explained, "Cousin, if you don't like what I'm saying, then I won't say it. There's no need to hurt me like this."

She gently tugged at Xiao Ziqian's sleeve, "Brother Ziqian, your cousin loves you so much, she would never do anything to betray you. She probably just mistook you for someone else."

"If you open a milk tea shop, even BaWang ChaJi would have to take a backseat, the tea flavor is strong enough."

Jiang Nan rolled her eyes at her fiercely.

At least they were certain that their guesses were just that—guessing. Although they saw her get out of the car, they didn't see Xiao Beixun.

Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, too lazy to pay them any more attention, and arrogantly raised his chin and straightened his back as he went upstairs.

"Nan Nan..."

Xiao Ziqian was anxious to catch up, but Wen Wan stopped him, saying, "Brother Ziqian, your cousin is angry. Please let her calm down."

"What kind of thing is she? After raising her for so many years, she gives me attitude!" Qi Nianci said angrily.

Jiang Nanquan felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard these words.

But she didn't stop walking for a moment.

Looking at her haughty, aristocratic demeanor, Wen Wan felt a surge of anger rising in her chest.

You bitch!

Once she marries Xiao Ziqian, his family will completely inherit her family's business, and she'll make sure she suffers a terrible death!

Jiang Nan returned to her room and immediately took a shower.

She guessed that staying out all night would upset her aunt and uncle, but she didn't expect that her aunt would stop pretending at all.

The true colors of the mother and daughter seemed ready to be completely exposed at any moment.

As Jiang Nan washed herself, she knew perfectly well that she had to resolve this marriage as soon as possible, no matter what.

If I could get pregnant with Xiao Beixun's child first, and then cancel the marriage, that would be perfect.

But can she get pregnant?

Jiang Nan's hand lingered on his abdomen for a few seconds. Suppressing his unease, he finished showering, sat on the bed, opened his laptop, and logged into a dark web platform.

Log in to your account smoothly.

Instantly, dozens or even hundreds of messages popped up.

Jiang Nan clicked on the jumping messages and precisely found a chat box called "Night".

Night: [The drug ingredients and combination you provided are excellent. This has made a significant step forward in our research, and our team is very grateful to you.]

[This is your payment. Transfer it once you've confirmed everything is correct.]

These messages were sent by the other party about two weeks ago.

Why haven't you been online for so long?

Upon seeing her online, the other party immediately sent a message to inquire.

Jiang Nan is twenty-three years old this year and hasn't had her birthday yet.

I met someone named "Night" when I was eighteen. We collaborated several times, and each time it went smoothly and pleasantly.

Jiang Nan trusted the other party and replied: "I've been busy lately, so please transfer the money to the same account as last time."

She hesitated for a few seconds, then tentatively asked, "Do you know anyone who can provide some private information? Like information from large companies?"

Many gray-market transactions can be conducted on the dark web, and buying and selling information is common.

But Jiang Nan wasn't sure who to contact.

The other party replied instantly: 【You've come to the right person. What do you want to know? I'll help you.】

【you?】

Don't trust me? Tell me what you're investigating, and I'll get back to you within three days.

Seeing how confident the other party was, and also because she was eager to know what her uncle had been doing in the company all these years, Jiang Nan had no choice but to grit her teeth and give it a try.

After sending the names of the companies I wanted to check, the other party paused for a while before replying.

Wait for my message.

Jiang Nan said thank you and logged out of the account.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, she hasn't gone anywhere. Although she has Xiao Beixun's WeChat, she hasn't contacted either of them.

Xiao Ziqian sent quite a few messages, but Jiang Nan ignored them each time, focusing on waiting for the investigation results from the dark web.

Early that morning, Jiang Nan finished her breakfast and was about to go upstairs when Wen Jizong suddenly stopped her and asked her to go to the Xiao family's banquet.

She also said that Xiao Ziqian would come to pick her up soon.

"understood."

Jiang Nan swallowed her words of refusal, realizing she hadn't seen Xiao Beixun for several days.

She should go see him, lest he forget about her.

Whether Xiao Beixun likes her or not is irrelevant; the most important thing is to make Xiao Beixun have no choice but to help her.

Seeing that she was as quiet and obedient as before, Wen Jizong did not pursue the matter of her not returning home all night.

"Then dress up nicely. I was worried that Ziqian's parents would be unhappy about what happened last time, so make a good impression when you go today."

Wen Jizong smiled kindly and raised his hand to pat her shoulder.

Jiang Nan said "okay" and turned to go upstairs briskly.

Wen Jizong's hand froze awkwardly in mid-air.

Qi Nianci came to his side, staring venomously at Jiang Nan's back: "Could she have discovered something?"

Wen Jizong gave him a sharp look. "Shut up! How could she possibly know? You and Wen Wan should be careful not to let her find out about Wen Wan and Ziqian."

Jiang Nan leaned against the stairwell wall, listening to the sounds coming from downstairs, his eyes turning cold and sharp.

She knows far more than just these things.

She also knew that this was a trap they had set for her, a scheme to wipe out her Jiang family line.

Next, Jiang Nan not only wants to annul the engagement, but also wants to get pregnant with Xiao Beixun's child and use him to reclaim the property that rightfully belongs to her Jiang family!
