The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.
Chapter 63 Postponing the Engagement
Jiang Nan is a skilled driver.
She compressed a 40-minute drive to the old house into half an hour.
Led by a servant, we entered the main hall of the Xiao family's building.
"Nan Nan is here."
Madam Xiao sat in the main seat on the sofa, looking at her with a kind smile.
Jiang Nanxian was elegant and polite, greeting everyone one by one, "Madam, First Madam."
There were only two people in the living room.
They probably didn't want too many people to know about Xiao Ziqian's assault.
Madam Xiao smiled and waved, "Come sit here with Grandma Xiao."
"it is good."
Jiang Nan obediently walked over.
Madam Xiao noticed the redness and swelling on Jiang Nan's face at a glance, assuming that Xiao Ziqian had hit him, and immediately frowned.
"You've been wronged, haven't you?"
As soon as Jiang Nan sat down, Old Madam Xiao, who had just saved him, grasped his hand and said with heartache, "It's all Ziqian's fault for being so impatient and doing such an absurd thing."
Su Sang said apologetically, "Ziqian is usually quite calm in his actions. He just loves you too much, Nan Nan."
"Now the old lady has punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall, so that he can calm down and reflect on his actions."
"Yeah, that kid has really changed lately, he's become impulsive."
Madam Xiao chuckled twice, "It seems that, just as the eldest daughter-in-law said, he loves you too much, which is why he keeps doing these things."
"And Nan Nan, really, you're always threatening to call off the engagement when you're just arguing!"
As she said this, Madam Xiao maintained a smile on her face, but her eyes clearly showed a hint of reproach.
Jiang Nan was not surprised at all.
It's normal to side with your own people.
She subtly withdrew her hand. "It was Xiao Ziqian who said he wanted to call off the engagement. I just granted his request."
"Furthermore, he's always with my cousin Wenwan, and they look like a couple. If they're interested, I think we should let them get engaged."
Madam Xiao's expression turned solemn. "How can that be? How can that girl Wen Wan compare to you?"
"Besides, although your engagement has never been made public to the media, everyone in and outside the industry knows about it."
"That's right, you can't say that again."
Su Sang's eyes betrayed her displeasure, and she said with a hidden meaning, "When he said he wanted to call off the engagement, it was because he misunderstood that your feelings weren't for him. In the end, it was just something he said in anger, which led to what happened today."
"Just don't bother with him, okay?"
Madam Xiao and Madam Xiao sang in unison.
Clearly, they want to downplay today's events.
Jiang Nan would never agree to that.
She said with difficulty, "Putting aside the fact that I agreed to his request to break off the engagement, today he assaulted someone, and the other party was an investor in the Jiang family company. I really don't know how to explain this to my uncle."
As she spoke, her face turned aggrieved again.
"Xiao Ziqian, without distinguishing right from wrong, believed my cousin's words and slandered me for having an affair with President Mo. There is no trust in our relationship, so I have no reason to remarry."
Madam Xiao's face darkened. "I don't know what this cousin from the Wen family is up to, trying to sow discord between you."
"No matter what, Ziqian did this because he was too nervous because he loves you. Nannan, please forgive him this time," Su Sang hurriedly advised.
"We'll handle things with the Mo family. Right now, it's your and Ziqian's business. You're getting engaged in three days, and it's not good for things to get like this."
It was indeed about the engagement.
Jiang Nan sighed, "Madam, my uncle and aunt always taught me to be polite and to know right from wrong."
"Xiao Ziqian misunderstood me and even caused a scene at our meeting. I'm so disappointed in him. Let's just call off our engagement. It's better for both of us."
Jiang Nan was neither humble nor arrogant, and his reasoning was clear and logical.
Madam Xiao's tone became slightly displeased, "Isn't there any room for maneuver? It's a small matter; just clear up the misunderstanding."
"It's not a misunderstanding."
Jiang Nan's attitude was firm: "First, Xiao Ziqian doesn't believe me; second, he has a criminal record."
Su Sang's expression suddenly changed.
"What do you mean?"
Madam Xiao narrowed her eyes in confusion.
Jiang Nan blurted out, "He even drugged me before, trying to force himself on me."
I had already broken up with him before this, so Xiao Ziqian's actions were not only disrespectful but also undoubtedly a crime.
"This time, I can't forgive him."
Jiang Nan's voice was clear and cold, yet firm and resolute.
Su Sang wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"You bastard!"
Madam Xiao was furious, her questioning gaze fixed on Su Sang. "Did you even know such a big thing had happened?"
Su Sang looked flustered and was speechless for a moment.
"Mom, it's all in the past now."
"So you already knew this, but you didn't say anything!"
Madam Xiao was furious. "Even you're joining in this nonsense! The child is young and doesn't understand, don't you understand too?!"
Hearing the reprimands, Su Sang glared angrily at Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nanquan simply ignored it.
She insisted, "Madam, I hope you can make the decision to cancel my marriage with Ziqian."
At first, Madam Xiao thought that Jiang Nan's proposal to break up showed that he was not very steady, and she had some complaints about him.
After learning about this, he became kind and gentle towards Jiang Nan.
But the annulment of the engagement was something she didn't want to see.
She advised, "Nan Nan, Zi Qian is indeed at fault, but with your wedding date approaching, saying you're calling off the engagement is a bit too serious."
"I'm sorry you were upset today. I'll make it up to you later. Just do me a favor and give the Xiao family another chance, okay?"
While Madam Xiao appeared to be coaxing, she was also subtly exerting pressure.
Jiang Nan had already guessed that it wouldn't be easy to annul the engagement.
"Nan Nan, the matter of drugging you is already in the past. To make it up to you, we also agreed to let you work at the company to gain experience. We have actually been very considerate of your feelings."
Su Sang cleverly said, "The old lady and I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Please calm down, okay?"
If Jiang Nan refuses again, it will seem like she's being unreasonable.
Offending the Xiao family at that time would not be a good thing.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, feigning reluctance, "If that's the case, why don't we put the engagement on hold for now?"
"Why? Don't you even trust me and the old lady?" Su Sang asked trickily.
Jiang Nanqian said fearlessly, "Ziqian slandered my relationship with President Mo and publicly proposed to break off the engagement. I really can't forgive him so quickly."
Furthermore…
She paused, then continued, "Mr. Mo was seriously injured and is still in the hospital. Even if he wants to apologize, he has to show sincerity. He can't just beat someone up and then get engaged right afterward."
The Mo family is one of the four major families in Hong Kong.
The Xiao family must handle this matter properly.
Jiang Nan's words made sense to Old Madam Xiao, and she fell into deep thought.
Su Sang objected, "The engagement date was set long ago, how can it be changed so easily? We'll figure out how to handle the Mo family's affairs, but your engagement must continue."
Jiang Nan was taken aback.
She even suspected that Su Sang might not know about Xiao Ziqian's plan.
They're so persistent.
If so, then it will be difficult.
She was thinking about how to retort to Su Sang.
At that moment, a deep and domineering voice came from the doorway, "Do as Miss Jiang says."
