This woman got out of the car, swaying her seductive hips.

Everyone present was startled when they saw Shao Mei'er.

As for the women, it was one thing, but every single man's eyes practically popped out of his head. They had long heard that Shao Mei'er was hailed as the number one stunner in Jinling City. Seeing her today, she certainly lived up to her reputation.

"Mei'er, w-welcome to our home," Su Qingkun stammered.

He couldn't help it; he was too excited. After the car accident this afternoon, Su Qingkun had tried to invite Shao Mei'er to dinner, but she had rejected him outright. He thought she wanted nothing to do with him, so he never imagined the situation would take such a sudden turn. Shao Mei'er had actually taken the initiative to call him, saying she wanted to visit the Su Family.

"Get lost," Shao Mei'er said indifferently.

The air instantly froze.

"Mei'er, why... why are you telling me to get lost?" Su Qingkun asked, his voice trembling with fear.

Shao Mei'er let out a cold laugh. "Or what? Perhaps you'd like a few more slaps across the face?"

BOOM!

The Su Family members were so frightened they didn't dare to breathe. This was no joke; she was Shao Mei'er, the top heiress in Jinling City. Who would dare to offend her?

Weren't there rumors that the top heiress of Jinling City had taken a liking to Su Qingkun? So why is she treating him like this now?

Ignoring the shocked members of the Su Family, Shao Mei'er strode up to Lin Xiao and Su Qingning.

"Hey, Qing Ning, why are you crying? Who was the blind fool that bullied you? Tell me, and I'll kill him!"

BOOM!

Shao Mei'er's voice wasn't loud, but to everyone present, it was like a thunderclap exploding right next to their ears, leaving them stunned and scared out of their wits.

This was especially true for Su Daonong. Upon hearing Shao Mei'er's words, his already ugly old face became even more hideous, as if he'd just eaten shit. It was utterly disgusting.

He could have never dreamed that Su Qingning had actually managed to connect with the Shao Family's heiress. Even a fool would understand what that implied.

Suddenly, Su Daonong remembered what he had said to Su Qingning just ten-odd minutes earlier. He instantly felt an urge to slap himself.

If only he hadn't expelled Su Qingning from the Su Family! They could have capitalized on this connection. Even a few scraps falling through the Shao Family's fingers would have been enough for the Su Family to feast on. No, I can't let Su Qingning have this connection for free. I have to snatch this relationship with the Shao Family for myself!

Su Qingkun had no reaction whatsoever. Or perhaps he was already utterly dumbfounded, completely clueless about what was happening.

Su Qingning's stunningly beautiful face was filled with shock. She stared blankly at the ravishing, peerless heiress of the Shao Family, wondering why on earth Shao Mei'er would want to help her.

Just then, Su Daonong suddenly said with a smile plastered on his face, "Miss Shao, Qing Ning is the apple of our Su Family's eye; no one would bully her. Since you've graced us with your presence, why not come in for a drink?"

Shao Mei'er rolled her eyes at him. "Su Daonong, don't disgust me. I know exactly what kind of person you are, better than you know yourself."

With those words, Su Daonong's face instantly turned ashen. He had been humbling himself to curry favor, only to be met with merciless mockery in return. But Su Daonong didn't dare express his anger. After all, that was the Shao Family's top heiress, a force no one in all of Jinling City dared to provoke.

"Wow, mister, you're so handsome! I really like you. What's your name?" Shao Mei'er said flirtatiously to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her antics, feeling a strong impulse to smack her perky behind. He'd only texted her to give Su Qingning a hand, never expecting she'd dare to flirt with him too.

Hearing Shao Mei'er's words, Su Qingkun's heart trembled as an unprecedented wave of pain washed over him. He had pursued her for so long, yet she had never even given him a proper glance. Now, she was showering her affections on a beggar.

Su Qingning was also taken aback. Shao Mei'er isn't blind, so why would she say something like that? Could it be that Lin Xiao is actually handsome?

Instinctively, Su Qingning glanced at Lin Xiao again. Still ragged and dirty, and his hair is so long it's almost covering his face. Sorry, but I really don't see how this guy is handsome at all.

"Miss, please have some self-respect. I am already married, and I love my wife very much," Lin Xiao said with feigned indifference.

Shao Mei'er instantly put on an extremely heartbroken expression. "What? You're already married? I'm so heartbroken! I don't care who your wife is; I'm going to negotiate with her. Even if it costs my Shao Family all of its assets, I will have you!"

BOOM!

Stung by those words, Su Qingkun collapsed. How am I inferior to this stinking beggar? Why can't Shao Mei'er see how handsome I am?

Su Daonong's face grew even more unsightly. He still hadn't figured out how Su Qingning had managed to get in with the Shao Family, and now Shao Mei'er, the number one stunner in Jinling City, had actually taken a liking to a beggar.

"Qingning, what do you think about this?" Lin Xiao asked her with a smile.

Su Qingning was speechless. She had never dreamed that Jinling City's top heiress would say such a thing.

"Oh, Su Qingning, you're this hottie's wife? That's great, let's have a chat."

"Chat? Chat about what?" Su Qingning asked suspiciously, feeling a little uneasy.

Shao Mei'er looked at Su Qingning with a coy smile. "I've taken a liking to your husband. Name your price. Oh, and by the way, I won't haggle!"

Su Qingning was shocked. This was probably the most absurd thing she had encountered in her twenty-two years of life. She could never have imagined that the top heiress of Jinling City would actually try to buy her husband. But he's just a beggar, isn't he? Does he really have that much charm?

It wasn't just Su Qingning who was surprised; no one present, aside from Lin Xiao, could have possibly imagined it.

Su Daonong was so aggravated he felt like he could vomit blood. He regretted his earlier words to Su Qingning more than ever. "Miss Shao, if I may be so bold as to ask, what do you see in Lin Xiao? To be honest with you, he's just a beggar!"

"A beggar? Haha, then I like him even more! Hurry up and name your price."

"He's not for sale!" Su Qingning responded, her voice soft but exceptionally firm.

To be honest, she knew perfectly well that if she agreed to Shao Mei'er's proposal, her current predicament would be resolved in an instant. Not only that, but she and her mother's fortunes would be completely reversed. They would no longer have to endure such humiliation. But for some reason she couldn't explain, she just didn't want to agree.

Lin Xiao smiled. She didn't disappoint me after all.

"As far as I'm aware, you're in a difficult situation and really need money right now, don't you?" Shao Mei'er said with a teasing smile.

Su Qingning nodded. "Miss Shao, you're right, I really do need money right now. But Lin Xiao and I have already registered our marriage, which makes him my husband. I just can't bring myself to trade him away for wealth and status!"

Upon hearing this, Su Daonong felt a sense of dark satisfaction. He was relieved she hadn't agreed. Otherwise, she would have been on the verge of turning her life around. At that thought, Su Daonong sneered internally. What an idiot.

"Then what should we do? I really, really like your husband! How about this, we can both serve him. You'll be the main wife, and I'll be the junior one. How does that sound?"

BOOM!

Everyone present, except for Lin Xiao, was shocked. The top heiress of Jinling City wanted to be a beggar's concubine? What was the world coming to?

Su Qingkun cried. He was truly crying. He felt that life was no longer worth living and just wanted to die.

Su Qingning's brain went completely blank, overwhelmed by those words.

"Shao Mei'er, you heard what my wife said. Now you can get lost," Lin Xiao said.

"Don't be like that! I really, really like you. Just let me have one more look," Shao Mei'er said coquettishly.

Lin Xiao's face darkened. "Get lost!"

Everyone present was instantly shocked. A beggar had actually dared to tell the top heiress of Jinling City to get lost. Where did he get the nerve?

Su Daonong, however, was ecstatic. This stinking beggar is finally done for.

But what he never could have dreamed was that the domineering Shao Mei'er would actually nod obediently.

"Alright, I'll get lost. But Su Qingning, I consider you a sister now. If you ever need anything, you can always come to me!"

With that said, Shao Mei'er suddenly kissed Lin Xiao's face as fast as lightning before running off as if fleeing for her life.

Su Qingkun was so overwhelmed by the sight that his eyes rolled back and he fainted, but it seemed no one noticed him. All eyes were still on Su Qingning, especially Su Daonong's. He was still mulling over what Shao Mei'er had said before she left.

"Qingning, let's go. I'm hungry; let's find a place to eat," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Su Qingning nodded. She didn't want to stay here a moment longer either.

Just as they were about to get in the car, Su Daonong suddenly rushed over. With a broad grin, he said, "Qingning, today is the joyous day of your marriage. Why don't you stay and have a meal with us?"

"There's no need. I've already been expelled from the Su Family," Su Qingning said coldly.

Su Daonong's smile was uglier than a grimace. "Qingning, your uncle was just speaking out of anger earlier. Please don't take it to heart!"

Su Qingning's expression grew even colder.

Su Daonong turned his gaze to Lin Xiao. Smiling obsequiously, he said, "Worthy son-in-law, could you please help me persuade Qingning?"

"Sure," Lin Xiao said with a cold laugh. "How about you kneel and kowtow first?"
