Chapter 140

Xu Yifei raised an eyebrow and said with an implied meaning, "You are really lucky to be able to follow Qiao."

In their circle, if one can have a benefactor, everything will surely go smoothly.

How many people want to climb up to Qiao Muting, but they only dare to think about it and don't have the opportunity to make contact.

Shu Xia knew that Xu Yifei's words were ambiguous, thought about it, and decided there was no need to explain.

On an occasion like today, she would not have the opportunity to come again in the future, and she would have little chance to meet the people here.

"It's a pity you aren't in the entertainment industry." Xu Yifei stared at Shu Xia, sizing her up.

She looks both pure and alluring, and has a great figure; if she were in the entertainment industry, with Qiao Muting's backing, Shu Xia could potentially become an A-lister in a short period of time.

Shu Xia smiled, "Everyone has different strengths; I don't really like appearing in front of the camera."

Xu Yifei shrugged, "That's right, everyone has different strengths; if I weren't allowed to act in the entertainment industry, I wouldn't know what to do."

Then they chatted for a few more sentences.

It was right at this moment that the door was pushed open.

"Young Master Jiang, sorry, I'm late. Happy birthday!"

Shu Xia looked over along with Xu Yifei beside her.

It was Shen Anran.

Shen Anran was wearing a white long dress, looking pure and sunny, a stark contrast to her dignified host persona on television, a very strong visual impact.

In front of the two female celebrities and models, Shen Anran did not lose out at all.

After Shen Anran apologized to Jiang Tu, she swept a glance to the side, and when she saw Qiao Muting, she seemed somewhat surprised, "Qiao is here too?"

Jiang Tu waved his hand at Shen Anran, "You aren't late, the cake hasn't been cut yet."

Shen Anran stepped in her high heels and walked toward Jiang Tu and Qiao Muting.

In her eyes, there seemed to be no one else.

She handed the gift bag she had prepared to Jiang Tu, "A birthday gift for you."

"Thanks!"

Jiang Tu saw that Shen Anran kept looking at Qiao Muting, so he teased with a smile: "Didn't you two just meet two days ago? Qiao Muting even went on your show, why does it feel like you're still so distant?"

A faint red flush appeared on Shen Anran's face, "Today is your birthday, can Young Master Jiang say a little less?"

Qiao Muting's expression was indifferent, and he only nodded at Shen Anran.

For people like them, if Qiao Muting can nod at you, it means he knows you.

But as for the relationship, one cannot say if it is close or distant.

Jiang Tu thought of something and looked at Shu Xia; why did it feel like Qiao Muting was more intimate with his secretary than with Shen Anran?

"Do you know Shen Anran? How about coming to my side once Qiao Muting doesn't want you anymore? The conditions I offer will definitely not be worse than Qiao Muting's."

Mu Yu did not know when he had arrived behind Shu Xia, his voice kept low, likely afraid of being heard by others.

Shu Xia was busy eating the gossip about Qiao Muting and Shen Anran and did not expect to be disturbed by Mu Yu.

A few hours ago, Qiao Muting told her that he and Shen Anran had nothing to do with each other, but now seeing Jiang Tu and the others, as well as Shen Anran's demeanor, it did not look like they had nothing to do with each other.

It was just that Qiao Muting was, for some reason, somewhat cold and distant, making him hard to understand.

She cooled her face and glanced at Mu Yu, "The relationship between Qiao and me is not what you think."

"If it's not the relationship I think, then what kind of relationship could it be? Do you really think we would believe you are his secretary? Zhang Tezhu by his side is very capable; you are at most just there to sleep with him." Mu Yu was already feeling very restless inside.

At such a close distance, he saw that Shu Xia's skin was so fair and tender it seemed like it could be pinched to produce water.

Such a stunner really made one's heart itch with desire.

Shu Xia frowned, and out of consideration for Mu Yu being Qiao Muting's friend, she did not curse, "Besides being a secretary and a bed partner, try to think more boldly about what other relationship Qiao and I could have? If you still want to be friends with Qiao, it's best to take back those words from just now. I can't keep secrets, and who knows, in a few minutes I might say something I shouldn't in front of Qiao."

"You!" Mu Yu was angered.

He did not expect that a girl who looked like a softie would have such a tough attitude.
