Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 170 Blocking the Door
Even Xiao You noticed it, let alone Nan Wu. "And that bodyguard next to her, Xiao You, don't you think the way he looks at me is a little strange?"

Xiao You laughed, "My young lady is so beautiful, which man wouldn't want to take a second look? Next time, I'll go and warn him in private, and tell him not to dream of a toad eating swan meat!"

Nan Wu nodded, but she was still uneasy. She had a feeling that the bodyguard wasn't paying attention to her, but rather using her as a pretext to focus on someone else...

When Qian Xingjie returned to his residence, he was informed by his servants that Qian Huai'an had arrived.

Of course, he didn't think Qian Huai'an had come to visit him, but he still had to continue pretending to be a filial son.

As he was about to knock on the door, he overheard the conversation inside: "I don't want to study company management, Dad. You know I have absolutely no talent in that area. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you!"

"If Dad isn't afraid, what are you afraid of? Besides, I'll pick a few of my most capable confidants to assist you. I don't believe you can't do it!"

"But Dad, I'm still not suitable. Managing the company is too boring. I'm a girl... Oh, why don't you hand it over to my brother? He's a boy, and he's been helping out at the company all these years. In terms of talent, ability, and experience, he's more suitable than me!"

Then Qian Huai'an sighed, "Silly child, no wonder your father says you're too naive! You grew up in my greenhouse, you can't see how treacherous this world is, how selfish people can be. Although I raised your brother, he's not a biological son of the Qian family. First of all, I can't bear to hand over the business I've built up over the years to an outsider. Secondly, it's one thing if he treats you like his own sister, but if he had ulterior motives, wouldn't I become the culprit? I'm not handing him over to him to prevent any trouble!"

Qian Xingjie clenched his fists tightly, his bloodshot eyes seeming like an endless abyss.

Well, as expected, the Qian family still treats him like an outsider. They'd rather hand the company over to a woman with no management experience than to him.

His years of forbearance have only earned him this indifference and disregard.

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for being impolite...

As for Nan Dongxue, since the police station could not find any direct and effective evidence and the detention period had expired, Nan Dongxue was temporarily released, but without notification, he was not allowed to leave Ningcheng without permission.

That day, Jiang Xue hosted a welcome banquet for him.

When Nan Dongxue asked the servants, Jiang Xue said pitifully, "Dongxue, you know the current situation of our Nan family. Not only is the company in dire straits, but we're also afraid we can't even afford to pay the servants' wages. So I sent them all back home to save money for our family, in case we need the money in the future!"

Touched, Nan Dongxue held her hand tightly. "I feel most at ease leaving this family in your hands. Don't worry, Xiaoxue. As long as I, Nan Dongxue, make a comeback, I promise I will not let you down and will let you live the life that all women in the world envy!"

"Alright, Dongxue, nothing else matters now. As long as you are safe and sound and the Nan family gets through this ordeal smoothly, I'll do anything for you!" Jiang Xue was very good at talking and made Nan Dongxue very happy with just a few words.

“You must have had a tough time being locked up. Here, I’ve specially made you some pork rib soup to help you recover!” Jiang Xue winked at Jiang Rourou.

Jiang Rourou quickly stood up in a proper manner, "Dad, let me pour you some wine!"

Seeing the loving wife, Nan Dongxue nodded with great satisfaction.

Just then, a series of hurried and frantic thumping sounds came from outside. Jiang Rourou opened the electronic peephole and was so frightened by what she saw outside the door that she could hardly speak.

"Dad, Mom, there are so many people outside! It looks like they've come to collect debts!"

"Oh my god, why are you here at this time? Rou Rou, don't open the door! Let's all keep quiet and pretend we don't know anything!"

Jiang Rourou nodded vigorously, "I understand, Mom!"

But to everyone's surprise, the knocking grew louder and louder, followed by a deafening crash as the door collapsed. A group of people rushed in and quickly surrounded the family of three. "Mr. Nan, we heard you got out of the police station today. Why didn't you answer our calls?"

"We agreed before that you would pay back the more than 30 million yuan you owed our bank by the 5th of this month. Why haven't you paid it back yet?"

"You still owe our bank fifty million, Chairman Nan. We're just employees, so don't make things difficult for us. Today, no matter what, you must repay this money to our bank!"

"And ours too..."

"And ours too..."

A group of people were waving the contract around, chattering amongst themselves.

Nan Dong, the school principal, was about to explode. "You'll have to wait until I sell my company stock to pay you back. Otherwise, how am I going to pay you back? I don't have any money on me right now. No matter how much trouble you cause, you won't get a single penny. And I'll say it again: you go back first, and I'll pay you back!"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener; Jiang Xue's eyes darted around.

What? Nan Dongxue wants to sell company stock? Once the company is sold and the money is returned, the Nan family will be left with nothing but an empty shell. What will happen to the mother and daughter? After working so hard for so many years, they won't get any benefits in the end?

Seeing that he couldn't get the money out of him, the bank representative had no choice but to temporarily agree to his arrangement, promising to repay the money by the end of the month, or else they would see him in court.

Just when we finally saw off the bank staff, another group of people arrived.

Nan Dongxue turned to close the gate, only to realize it had collapsed. He quickly ran inside, shouting, "Xiaoxue, Rourou, we have to stop these troublemakers no matter what!"

Jiang Xue and Jiang Rourou were completely bewildered and hadn't figured out what was going on when a second group of people barged in. Some of them looked familiar; they were all employees of the Nan family.

"Where's Nan Dongxue? Tell him to get down here!"

"How dare you speak like that? My dad is the chairman of your company. Show some respect!" Jiang Rourou defended Nan Dongxue.

The employee speaking looked disgusted. "Pah! This is the chairman? Trash! It's one thing to maliciously deduct our bonuses, but he's been two months late with our wages! Are they planning to make us work for nothing? Is there no law in the world?"

"You got your pay docked because you didn't do your job properly, so you deserved it. Why doesn't my dad dock other people's pay? You should look at yourselves first. How could you just barge into someone's place like that? Do you have any manners?" Jiang Rouruo crossed her arms, her words filled with contempt and disgust.

"You've already taken all my money, what right do I have to care about manners? Where's Nan Dongxue? Tell him to come down and talk to us. If he doesn't show up today, we're not leaving!"

"I'm going to stay here and not leave!"

As they talked, a group of people started treating the place like their own home, eating and drinking as they pleased, and even sitting on the sofa whenever they wanted.

Jiang Xue felt both distressed and aggrieved. "Oh dear, I just bought these imported wool sofa covers! Hurry up and open them! Can you afford to pay for them if they get dirty?"

"Look! It's Nan Dongxue! Everyone, grab him!"

Nan Dongxue originally wanted to check the situation downstairs, but he was caught red-handed by the employees and was dragged down before he could run away.
