Chapter 120

Shu Xia observed carefully, "How were you so careless? Was it a fight scene you were filming?"

Even if it was a fight scene, the blows were too heavy, weren't they?

"Yes, it was just a fight scene. A group of people were fighting together, and everyone was too immersed in the acting. Someone even got both eyes blackened. Your second brother here just lost focus for a moment; otherwise, not even a single hair of mine would have been harmed. Let's hurry home, my stomach is flattened with hunger." Shu Chen's gaze flickered, and he clearly did not want to say more about this matter.

Shu Xuan's expression darkened.

He glanced at Shu Xia, who was still worried about Shu Chen, "Your second brother has thick skin and flesh, he's fine. Let's go, Mom is still waiting for us to get home."

"I've been craving the braised pork Mom makes!" Shu Chen put on a look as if he were drooling.

"I miss all the dishes Mom makes."

The two walked toward the parking lot, while Shu Xuan, behind them, watched his younger brother and sister and quietly tightened his Boxing.

He was too unsuccessful as an older brother.

He hadn't protected them well.

Xinghai Villa.

Qiao Muting returned very early today.

From a little past seven until past ten.

He sat in the living room reading a book.

He had been away on a business trip for over a week.

If not for the fact that he still remembered his status as a married man, the quietness of Xinghai Villa right now would have given him the illusion that he was still single.

He darkened his gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall.

Half past eleven.

Could it be that she hadn't come back during the days he was away on his business trip?

He pressed his brow, and Shu Xia's cold, pale face at the hospital surfaced in his mind.

She seemed to still have feelings for Fu Chenyan.

When Shu Xia returned to Xinghai Villa, it was already half past twelve.

Being with family, eating and chatting, time had passed without her noticing.

The moment she saw Qiao Muting, she was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Qiao, you're back."

She had thought he wouldn't be back for these two days, as he had just met with Shen Anran and was likely in the midst of being reluctant to part.

Qiao Muting looked toward Shu Xia.

After greeting him, Shu Xia walked toward the stairs on her own, not speaking to Qiao Muting again.

"Wait a moment."

Shu Xia looked at Qiao Muting, who had called out to her, "Is there something, Mr. Qiao?"

Her heart sank; could he be planning to bring up the divorce proceedings today?

She had been mentally prepared, but her heart still inevitably felt heavy.

"If you have time tomorrow, come with me to the Laozhai." Qiao Muting stared deeply at Shu Xia.

Was her mood still being affected by Fu Chenyan?

Was a piece of human trash worth her constant concern?

Shu Xia was a bit dazed; he had called her back, not for a divorce, but to visit Qiao Nainai?

She nodded, "Okay."

Just as she was about to lift her foot to take the next step, she thought of another matter, "Thank you for today at the hospital."

Later, when Zhang Tezhu said he would help find a lawyer, it must have been under his instruction.

If they hadn't helped her on the side, Fu Chenyan and his mother wouldn't have let the matter rest so easily.

Qiao Muting stared into Shu Xia's eyes, "Can you easily let go of the years of feelings you had for him?"

That's right.

Several years of time.

Shu Xia's gaze darkened.

How many years does a person have in their life to waste?

As long as she thought about how years of her time had been wasted on a piece of human trash, she wanted to curse her past self for being blind.
