Chapter 124

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Muting arrived on time to pick up Shu Xia.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at Laozhai.

Upon hearing from Shu Xia that she had joined Gu Lao's team, Qiao Nainai couldn't stop smiling as she praised her, "Xia Xia is too amazing! That little Gu is usually very stubborn; as long as it's something he insists on, no matter how others come to beg him, hoping he can make an exception, he will refuse. Even if someone wants to pull strings or try to stuff someone into his team to get some credentials, he will refuse. Look at our Xia Xia, she relied on her own strength!"

"Mu Ting, look at your wife, how amazing she is!"

Qiao Muting was drinking water, and upon hearing Qiao Nainai's words, he glanced at the slightly blushing Shu Xia, "She is indeed very amazing."

Shu Xia was somewhat surprised; he actually went along with his grandmother's words to praise her today.

If it were before, he definitely would have just given a grunt or acted as if he hadn't heard.

It really is true that a man in love is tolerant toward everyone.

After accompanying Qiao Nainai for dinner and watching an episode of a variety show together, the two of them were shooed away by Qiao Nainai, who said she wanted them to go back to Xinghai Villa and properly enjoy their evening as a couple.

Shu Xia knew that Qiao Nainai wanted to play matchmaker between her and Qiao Muting, hoping their relationship would get better and better.

If it were before, she could still have acted out the play as previously agreed with a clear conscience.

But now, she felt too sorry for Shen Anran.

On the way back to Xinghai Villa, Shu Xia handed an earring to Qiao Muting, "This is Miss Shen's earring, right? I saw it when we just got out of the car, and I didn't have time to give it to you."

When Qiao Muting saw the earring, he frowned, "No need to give it to me, throw it away."

"Huh? This is Miss Shen's earring, and it's worth quite a lot; she would probably care if it were lost." Shu Xia was somewhat surprised by Qiao Muting's attitude.

"How do you know Shen Anran?"

"When we ran into each other on the road that day, I saw Shen Anran sitting in your car; she is a host, many people know her."

Was his attitude a bit too cold?

Since Shen Anran had already been mentioned, Shu Xia felt she should take the initiative to bring it up, "When are we going to handle the divorce?"

One couldn't let the person he cares about be a mistress for three years, right?

Qiao Muting stared at Shu Xia abruptly, "What did you say?"

"Shouldn't we get a divorce?" Shu Xia said again.

"Want to terminate the agreement early? Speak, what is the reason." Qiao Muting asked with a dark expression.

Shu Xia was stunned, "I didn't know before that you and Miss Shen were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship; if I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to Qiao Nainai's request to marry you."

Some things are wrong, and that's that.

It is best to terminate a mistake in time.

"Shen Anran and I..." Qiao Muting was just about to explain when his phone rang.

"Where are you? I will be there in ten minutes..."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Muting looked at Shu Xia again, "I will explain this matter to you when we get home tonight; don't mention the divorce."

"Okay." Shu Xia knew now was not the time to discuss this matter.

Perhaps he was worried about Qiao Nainai's health and afraid she wouldn't be able to accept them getting a divorce.

The next day, in the morning.

The Lin Family.

As phone call after phone call was made, Lin Guanda discovered that they were either being rejected or fobbed off with an excuse.
