Chapter 144

【Tell Shen Anran not to harbor delusions about people she shouldn't.】

Jiang Tu was shocked, 【Do you have absolutely no feelings for Shen Anran? You haven't had a woman by your side for so many years; aren't you keeping yourself chaste for her?】

【Just tell me what your relationship with Shu Xia is! Your attitude toward her is too unusual.】

Unfortunately, these few questions all sank like a stone into the sea.

Qiao Muting never replied.

Jiang Tu was never one for gossip and had no interest in other people's affairs.

In Jing City, there were likely many people who wanted to gossip about him, so it wasn't his turn to go out and gossip about others; if he wanted to know something, he could just find someone to ask, and he would be able to uncover the truth about anything.

But Qiao Muting was different!

Who wouldn't want to know about Qiao Muting's romantic scandals?

Unfortunately, if Qiao Muting didn't say anything, you couldn't just send someone to investigate; the moment you started investigating, Qiao Muting would definitely get wind of the news.

"Tsk tsk, no rush. I don't believe Qiao Muting can keep a secret locked away forever."

Shen Anran woke up late.

She had barely slept all night; after returning from the club, she had lain in bed unable to calm her heart.

She really wanted to know what kind of relationship Shu Xia actually had with Qiao Muting.

She had asked Jiang Tu, but Jiang Tu was completely clueless; it was his first time seeing Shu Xia today as well.

Seeing that face of Shu Xia's that could make one lose their soul, Shen Anran felt a sense of crisis for the first time.

Just after getting out of bed, a message from Jiang Tu popped up on her phone.

【Stop thinking about Qiao Muting. He just told me to tell you not to think about things you shouldn't.】

Shen Anran's face turned deathly pale, and she gripped her phone tightly.

Don't think about things I shouldn't—he is truly heartless!

——

At the hospital.

Fu Chenyan stood at the payment counter in a daze.

The money in his bank card was far from enough to pay the surgery fees.

His mother's condition could not wait.

Hundreds of thousands—where was he supposed to get that?

If he hadn't lost his job, perhaps his year-end bonus would have been two hundred thousand; as it turned out, he had lost his job, and although he had been able to get interviews for the jobs he'd sought over the past two days, for some reason, there was never any news after the interviews.

Given his educational background, the university he graduated from, his major, and his own abilities, it was impossible that he could interview with so many companies and not be hired by a single one.

It was too bizarre.

Shu Xia was very heartless now and would definitely not help him again; he didn't know why, but he just felt that if Shu Xia could help him, she would certainly be able to come up with the surgery fees.

But...

He had never imagined Shu Xia would be so ruthless.

He picked up his phone and dialed Lin Miao.

"Lin Miao, lend me five hundred thousand. Help me get through this crisis, and I will earn the money to pay you back very soon."
