Chapter 223

Realizing that it was highly likely they had made a mistake, the complexions of the three of them turned deathly pale.

Driving the car a distance away.

Lin Bin could no longer hold back and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

"Dad, if it wasn't Gu Jianzhang, then we have effectively offended the Gu Family all over again!"

Lin Guanda's expression was gloomy, "If it wasn't Gu Jianzhang, then who else could it be?"

"Perhaps we misunderstood Shu Xia, and in fact, nothing is wrong with Shu Xia at all?" Chen Xiuyue pondered every possibility.

From beginning to end, no matter how they pressed Shu Xia, she never admitted to anything.

It was just that they did not believe her.

"She must have someone behind her; otherwise, there is no way to explain how she managed to get into Gu Lao's team," Lin Bin had always looked down on Shu Xia.

A woman with no skills whatsoever, possessing only a face that could make men take a second look, getting into a team in Jing City that so many people wanted to join—if that was based on real ability, then it truly was a huge joke!

"She isn't close to us now, and she wants to leave the moment she sees us. No matter how we ask her, she won't tell the truth. We can only take the evidence and ask her," Chen Xiuyue stared at the photo on her phone.

She felt that it must be Gu Jianzhang.

Only if it were Gu Jianzhang would it be the most logical explanation.

"Have your eldest brother take the photo and ask Shu Xuan," Lin Guanda said to Lin Bin.

Lin Bin thought for a moment, "Alright."

Shu Xia had already changed her clothes and walked down from upstairs.

She had made plans with Jiang Nannan.

And Qiao Muting also had plans, but he was waiting for her so they could leave together.

"Gu Jianzhang said he has already driven them away."

Shu Xia nodded, "They probably won't let it go so easily. If this has caused any misunderstanding for Mr. Gu's fiancée, I can go and explain. Could you please help me pass a message to Mr. Gu?"

"They are not worthy of being your family," Qiao Muting's tone was resolute.

"Do you know why I agreed to you so quickly that day? Because when you saw Lin Miao, you didn't believe her. You are different from those people in the Lin Family. You can identify a 'green tea' quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. In our future life of mutual respect as husband and wife, there certainly won't be so many messy things. This state is what I hope for, so our future is promising," Shu Xia expressed what was in her heart.

Qiao Muting looked at Shu Xia with deep eyes; the phrase "mutual respect as husband and wife" felt inexplicably jarring.

"Mutual trust is the most important thing. While these family members of yours are indeed despicable, compared to some of my family members, they can only be considered child's play. Shu Xia, by marrying me, I am the one who has taken advantage of you."

Shu Xia smiled brightly, "Since you've taken advantage of me, you have to treat me well from now on. Otherwise, if the jackals and tigers behind you scare me, I will definitely run faster than anyone else."

Although she had never asked him about any family members other than Qiao Nainai, and Qiao Nainai had never mentioned anyone else in the Qiao Family.

That just meant the others were either not worth mentioning or were not on the same path as them.

Qiao Muting smiled, and starlight seemed to shimmer in his dark eyes.

——

The Jiang Family.

Shu Chen did not have many scenes today, and when he returned, he was carrying two large bags of things.

They were all things he had bought for his mother and Shu Hong.

Food, daily necessities, and he had also bought a pair of basketball shoes for Shu Hong. Shu Hong liked to play basketball but didn't have a good pair of shoes to play in. He had recently had scenes as a supporting actor, so his pay had increased.

Therefore, his first thought was to improve life for his family.

He also bought a bag for Xia Xia.

"Mom, I've never seen you cook a whole table of dishes when I came home before. Why did you cook a whole table today? Isn't Xia Xia not coming back today?" Shu Chen asked.

Suddenly seeing such high-spec treatment, Shu Chen was so surprised his eyes almost popped out.

What was laid out on the table were all his mother's signature dishes. Although they had eaten them since they were children, they had never grown tired of them. The food made at restaurants outside simply couldn't compare to his mother's cooking.

The food he ate on set was, in his view, just enough to keep from going hungry.
