Chapter 177

Could the person chosen by Qiao Nainai be dismissed by Shen Anran with just one million?

Not to mention whether she was disparaging her boss, even a random large diamond ring Qiao Nainai gave to Shu Xia would be worth over a hundred million.

If Shu Xia wanted to make money, wouldn't it be easier to start with Qiao Nainai?

By trying to drive someone away with one million, Shen Anran made this matter look messy and unsightly.

Shen Anran felt somewhat embarrassed, "Zhang Tezhu should know why I need to see Qiao. There are some misunderstandings that can't be cleared up over the phone; I need to meet him in person to explain. After all, we have known each other since we were children; there's no need to not even give me a chance to explain, right?"

"Miss Shen is meddling in Qiao's affairs this time. If others find out, they will definitely misunderstand the relationship between you and Qiao. With no relation or friendship, Miss Shen is even managing the people around Qiao, and not just managing, but threatening them too. In this situation, no matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to explain it, right? Miss Shen should leave." Zhang Tezhu did not mind being blunt.

Many people just like to use the old friendship of having known each other since childhood to stir up trouble.

Being clear about things is good for everyone.

Shen Anran's face turned even paler than before, "Have you investigated Shu Xia?"

"Miss Shen is meddling in other people's business again." Zhang Tezhu's face darkened, and he couldn't be bothered to maintain his fake smile anymore.

It was clear at once: Shen Anran had investigated Shu Xia.

If these people knew that Shu Xia wasn't some mistress of the boss, but his wife, would they still dare to investigate her?

Shen Anran froze completely.

Meddling in other people's business...

She suddenly understood: how could the person Qiao Muting keeps by his side not have been thoroughly investigated?

So Qiao Muting knew all about those things regarding Shu Xia, yet he was completely unconcerned.

Her throat felt as if it had been suddenly gripped by someone.

She took a deep breath.

She watched helplessly as Zhang Tezhu entered the building, his determined manner showing not a hint of hesitation.

There was clearly no room for leniency.

Her mother suddenly called.

"Mom."

"How is it? Did Qiao listen to your explanation? Let's keep a good attitude; at the end of the day, she's just a plaything. Qiao wouldn't go so far as to become enemies with our Shen Family over her," said Mother Shen.

Shen Anran said in a strained voice, "Mom, I didn't see Qiao, and there is no room for maneuver in this matter."

"What? Even you going in person to apologize didn't work? Is he going to disregard the friendship you've had since childhood for a woman? I happen to have Qiao Nainai's number. I will speak with her and let her know how ridiculous Qiao Muting is being." Mother Shen hung up the phone.

She immediately dialed Qiao Nainai.

"Qiao Nainai, it's me. I am Shen Guodong's wife. A few years ago, I met with you at Gu Lao's home," Mother Shen said, trying to get on good terms.

Qiao Nainai was watching TV and listening somewhat absent-mindedly; she received many such calls on a daily basis.

They all came under various pretexts.

Especially those who usually had no contact but suddenly called—they definitely had some motive.

"I remember you," Qiao Nainai replied in a flat tone.

"It's like this, Nainai. A matter occurred these past two days. Anran and Mu Ting have known each other since they were children, and they even attended the same university. They should both have feelings for each other, but recently, a girl named Shu Xia suddenly appeared. That girl's behavior is improper, and she is even despised by her own biological parents. Anran was afraid Mu Ting was being deceived, so she..."

Mother Shen told the whole story in one breath.

Qiao Nainai had been listening absent-mindedly at first.

By the time she heard the end, her face was as cold as frost.

Steward Qin, who was to the side, saw Qiao Nainai suddenly darken her face and knew someone had upset her!

"Xia Xia's behavior is improper? I think it is your Shen Family that has failed to teach its daughter. Since when is it your Shen Family's turn to point fingers at our Qiao Family's affairs?" Qiao Nainai said, then hung up the phone.

She called Qiao Muting, "Are you even a man?"

"What's wrong, Nainai?" Qiao Muting was left speechless by this questioning.

"Shen Anran's mother just called me and belittled Xia Xia into the dust. Since when is it their turn to bully my granddaughter-in-law? Did you tacitly allow that little girl from the Shen Family to bully Xia Xia? And let their whole family bully Xia Xia?" Qiao Nainai demanded in a flurry of questions.
