Chapter 280

~4 min read 760 words

The companies behind these people are all partners of the group.

They also have a pretty good relationship with Qiao.

It looks like a few people agreed to come here together to relax.

Shu Xia, who was walking in front, heard the noise behind her.

She turned her head to take a look.

Her gaze collided with Qiao Muting's.

Both of them were quite tacit, pretending not to know each other in front of others.

There wasn't even a spark in their eyes.

"Wow, it's Qiao Muting! Look quickly, was he just looking at you? Why do I inexplicably have an intuition that you and him are very likely?" Jiang Nannan started shipping them regardless of anything else.

She felt that the image of the two of them standing together was truly too pleasing to the eye.

Those sugary sweet romance variety shows and the couples hyped up by celebrities were not as fun to ship as these two.

"You're talking about Xia Xia and Qiao Muting? They don't even know each other, how is that possible? Besides, I don't think Qiao Muting is a good destination. A wealthy family is not a good place; after marrying in, there will be all sorts of things, and many rules too. Plus, there are a bunch of socialites in Jing City who want to marry Qiao Muting. Even if Xia Xia is very outstanding, it's best not to wade into these muddy waters. Those wealthy families of theirs, the water runs deep."

Shu Chen cut off Jiang Nannan's imagination without even thinking.

Shu Xia felt a bit guilty.

She had already married in, and whether there were muddy waters or not was unclear, but now it seemed there was no room for regret.

Because there was an inquiry from Qiao Muting on her phone right now, "Dinner together tonight?"

She replied with the word "Okay."

Then she said to Shu Chen, "Brother, if I really married Qiao Muting, would you advise me to divorce?"

Shu Chen was clearly stumped by the question, "I haven't thought about this possibility. You and him don't even know each other; you just met at a ball court. Let alone divorce, marriage isn't even on the horizon."

"Xia Xia, don't get too deep into the role," Jiang Nannan reminded her.

There was a photo of a fake marriage certificate today, which meant something; it seemed Xia Xia had gotten into the role.

She inexplicably started to panic.

Could it be that because she kept mentioning Qiao Muting, Xia Xia really took it to heart, which led to that fake marriage certificate photo?

She had caused trouble!

She had been shipping them randomly, shipped the wrong pair, and harmed her sister.

Shu Xia looked at the two of them, a thousand words turning into two, "Alright."

Even if she said more now, neither of them would believe her.

——

Although Shu Chen had no more scenes for the time being, he still had to follow the crew to the next location to film night scenes.

Therefore, after having lunch with Shu Chen, Shu Xia and Jiang Nannan left, and then Shu Xia sent Jiang Nannan home.

Seeing that she still had the whole afternoon, she drove to look at a few real estate developments.

Time passed without her noticing.

She had already checked out all the developments beforehand.

So going to the site was just to make comparisons.

She didn't have much time, so she chose a house with a layout she was satisfied with and a residential complex with greenery she was also satisfied with, and paid the deposit directly.

It was a four-bedroom apartment with a total price of ten million.

She had a few million on hand and decided to pay half, with the rest on a loan.

After completing a major task, she drove directly toward the restaurant Qiao Muting had booked.

Because her dream had been achieved, she was so happy that she couldn't wait to share it with her foster mother and the others.

She would wait until next week to pay the down payment, and then tell them when the property was handed over.

She completely failed to notice that a car was following behind her; it had been following her ever since she went to the first real estate development.

It wasn't until Shu Xia parked her car at a restaurant with Chinese-style decor and saw the car parked to the side that she suddenly realized this car had been in her sight the whole way.

Someone was stalking her!
