Nian Mutong admits to going on a date with Wang Guoming at her father's behest, and Jiang Xiao coldly rebuffs her attempts to reconnect with the Meng family, warning her away. Jiang Xiao receives a call from Luo Yongsheng at the police station, who reveals Gao Ming sent someone to discuss Nian Mutong's marriage to his son with Nian Che, implying Nian Che is now aware and plans to facilitate a divorce.

In this day and age, with Gao Ming’s abilities, they’ve only been registered for a few days—he can have them divorce right away, then wipe out the registration record, and still treat Gao Wei as a man who has never been married.

If this isn’t handled properly, how is Gao Wei supposed to marry someone of the right family background in the future?

"Where did they agree to meet?"

"Eight o’clock tonight, they told Nian Che to go to the Gao Family’s place."

Yeah, looks like nowhere is safer than your own home.

"Where is Nian Che now?"

"He went to buy a new set of clothes earlier, now he’s at the barber getting a haircut. You can tell he’s in a very good mood."

From that, you can also tell he’s taking tonight’s meeting very seriously.

In a very good mood—did it never occur to him that Nian Mutong would marry into the Gao Family?

Maybe right now Nian Che is full of surprise and excitement.

And he’s always been blocked outside the compound; today he can finally walk into the compound openly and aboveboard. It’d be impossible for Nian Che not to swing by the Meng Family to show off a bit.

"Keep a close eye on him. Have people watch around the compound. If you see him coming over, report to me immediately."

Tonight, Nian Che can forget about getting his wish to meet Gao Ming.

Jiang Xiao absolutely won’t let him in.

"Yes."

Jiang Xiao hung up the phone and saw Old Meng and Meng Chaojun looking at her.

"Little, what happened? Is Nian Che coming over?" Old Meng now was filled with hatred every time Nian Che was mentioned.

And Meng Chaojun’s expression was even uglier.

Nian Che—he actually still dares to come?

"I’ll deal with this. Now that Nian Mutong has married Gao Wei, Grandpa, Dad, you two remember to keep your distance from her."

"We know that."

Even if she didn’t say it, Meng Chaojun would still keep his distance from Nian Mutong.

Only later did he realize why, back when he kept saying he hated Nian Chengcheng, he could still tolerate Nian Mutong living in their home: deep down he’d always loved Nian Chengcheng, so he ended up loving the house and its crow.

Back then, he saw Nian Mutong as Nian Chengcheng’s niece, that was the only reason he could put up with her.

Now that he knows Nian Mutong is Nian Che’s daughter, he doesn’t even want to see her again, let alone tolerate her.

"Little, the Gao Family won’t want an in-law like Nian Che. If this gets out, wouldn’t they feel completely humiliated? So why not just sit back and watch them make a mess of it? I think they’ll definitely kick up a fuss. Once it blows up, Nian Mutong might not even get to be Gao Wei’s wife." Old Meng said.

He felt there was no need for Jiang Xiao to get herself involved in this.

With that kind of trashy matter, the less you meddle, the better.

None of them wanted to have contact or ties with those kinds of people anymore.

Jiang Xiao shook her head but didn’t say much more.

After an hour, a guard came looking for Jiang Xiao, saying there was someone outside asking for her.

Jiang Xiao immediately ran out. After she’d gone a bit farther from the gate, that person said to her, "Miss Jiang, the person you’re having watched is already on the way. He should be here in about ten minutes."

"Is he coming by car?"

"Yes. A taxi."

"Alright, got it."

Jiang Xiao waved him off, then ran toward the road leading to the compound.

After running a few minutes, she stopped and waited on the road.

Sure enough, from a distance she saw a car coming.

Jiang Xiao immediately stepped into the middle of the road and waved.

"Beep beep beep!"

The driver honked the horn, but Jiang Xiao still didn’t move aside, standing squarely in the middle of the road, waving.

On this road, drivers never dare to go too fast, so there wouldn’t be any danger.
