Chapter 123

She didn't cook for herself this morning and had steamed buns, so she found a shop, bought some light porridge and vegetables, and added two steamed flower rolls.

Gu Cheng was lying on the bed, bored, playing a game.

He knew that today was Shu Xia's first day at work, so she probably wouldn't have much time to come see him.

Therefore, the moment he saw Shu Xia, Gu Cheng felt as if his tears were about to fly out.

"I finally waited for you to come!"

Shu Xia glanced at her wristwatch and then placed the lunch she had bought in front of Gu Cheng.

"Are you hungry? Is no one from your family here to keep you company?"

"My uncle is very busy, and this is just a minor surgery. My uncle just needs to sign the papers when the time comes; he hired a caregiver for me."

Gu Cheng said while eating.

Although it was just light porridge and small side dishes, Gu Cheng liked eating it very much because it was brought by Shu Xia.

"Just started work today, are you adapting well? Did anyone give you a hard time?" Gu Cheng asked.

"No, the work atmosphere in Gu Lao's team is very good. I like it, and I'm adapting well."

Gu Cheng nodded, feeling relieved.

If the old man dared to bully Shu Xia, he would go find the old man to settle the score once he was discharged from the hospital.

After staying in the hospital for about twenty minutes, Shu Xia left.

She needed to complete Gu Lao's work arrangements as soon as possible.

On the way, she received a call from Qiao Muting.

"I'll pick you up at five in the afternoon, does that time work?"

"That works, see you this afternoon."

Shu Xia asked Assistant Xu about the off-duty time; they get off at four-thirty. Gu Lao's team is very humane and doesn't follow the 996 schedule.

However, there is overtime sometimes. If they have to go follow him to the tomb, they will work overtime, and there might even be no weekends.

After hanging up on Qiao Muting, she received a WeChat message from Jiang Nannan.

【Shu Xia, Shu Xia, I found out about a huge piece of gossip again. It seems Qiao Muting is married. My close friend who works at the Civil Affairs Bureau told me. He didn't take a photo, and he doesn't know Qiao Muting. We were chatting in a group, and he saw an interview with Qiao Muting, only then realizing that the person who registered their marriage was Qiao Muting. But he forgot what the bride's name was, only remembering that the bride looked exceptionally beautiful, and he also said it wasn't Shen Anran. Don't you think this is a huge scoop?】

In the voice messages, there was only the sound of Jiang Nannan being excited about the gossip.

As one of the parties involved in the gossip, Shu Xia felt a bit guilty and ashamed.

【Since Shen Anran and Qiao Muting attended Gu Jianzhang's engagement banquet together and he didn't bring his wife, whom he just married, don't you think it means Qiao Muting doesn't like his wife? Now that Shen Anran is back, there's a high probability that Qiao Muting will divorce the wife he just registered his marriage with!】

【My friend said Qiao Muting's wife looks very beautiful, that rare kind of beautiful. Don't you think if his wife knew her husband was entangled with other beauties, she would be heartbroken?】

【If it were me, I definitely couldn't stand it. But maybe they don't have such deep feelings. Like me and Huo Jingyan, we have known each other for so many years, and he has always doted on me since we were little. If he betrayed me, I definitely wouldn't know what to do. But with our relationship, he definitely wouldn't betray me.】

After Shu Xia finished listening to the series of voice messages Jiang Nannan sent, she was speechless for a moment.

She really wanted to tell Jiang Nannan that Qiao Muting's wife, who registered the marriage, already knows everything.

Everything that should be known, and everything that shouldn't be known, is crystal clear.

Heartbroken is not quite the word; she just feels uncomfortable and quite apologetic for unintentionally becoming the "third party" in someone else's relationship.

Before driving back onto the road, she replied to Jiang Nannan.

【How many people in this world are like Jiang Nannan and Huo Jingyan?】
