Chapter 284

She really is showing off her sense of superiority every single moment.

It's unclear where this sense of superiority even comes from?

"My investigation into you is different from what you think; I am simply giving you another path you can choose." Shen Anran did not believe she was wrong.

Shu Xia glanced at the time; there were still twenty minutes left.

Qiao Muting was always punctual, so he should be arriving soon.

Seeing Shu Xia check the time, Shen Anran asked, "Did you make an appointment to eat here with someone?"

"Who did you make an appointment with?" She asked this question with some urgency.

Shu Xia smiled and said, "Don't you already have the answer?"

Shen Anran's expression turned very ugly. "Think carefully about the proposal I just made. After today, if you regret it later, I won't give you another chance to choose. I have known Qiao for a long time, while you have only known him for a few days and don't understand the situation of the Qiao Family. The Qiao Family will not accept a girl who grew up in the countryside marrying Qiao; you can only be Qiao's plaything."

"Are you finished?" Shu Xia was somewhat impatient.

She was usually very patient, but now her patience was being rapidly depleted by Shen Anran's antics.

"Shu Xia, do not test my patience." Shen Anran was somewhat annoyed.

From childhood to adulthood, she had rarely encountered setbacks, yet recently, because of Shu Xia, she had stumbled again and again.

"That is a line I should be saying. If Miss Shen has nothing else, then hurry up and get lost! If you have any business, go find Qiao Muting directly; don't come and disturb me." Shu Xia said expressionlessly.

Shen Anran's expression changed. "Shu Xia, do you know what you are doing?"

To actually tell her to get lost?

No one had ever told her to get lost before.

This was the first time.

"The one who doesn't know what they are doing is you. Shen Anran, a brain is a good thing; it's not too late for yours to develop now. Before it develops, hide in your own greenhouse and don't come out to harm others. I don't have the time to play games with you." Shu Xia scolded coldly.

Shen Anran's pupils constricted sharply, and she was so angry her face turned red. "Shu Xia, you are unreasonable!"

"When you come looking for me again and again, there is no need for me to reason with you. Reasoning is useless; you don't understand it." Shu Xia was completely speechless regarding Shen Anran.

She was clearly a television host, whose reactions should be quick and who should even be sensible, so why was there no sense of values in her head?

Shen Anran took a deep breath, her face turning pale and gloomy. "I didn't expect your appetite to be so big. Fine, I will grant your wish this once."

She would just treat it as the Shen Family providing relief to a beggar.

"Name any condition you want!" she said.

Shu Xia had originally thought there weren't many people like those self-righteous ones in the Lin Family, but she hadn't expected to find others cut from the same cloth, and they were definitely worse than the others.

"If you don't have ten billion, don't come looking for me." Shu Xia stated an exorbitant price directly.

"Are you crazy? Shu Xia, if you offend the Shen Family, you won't have a good ending in the future. You are currently acting recklessly because you are relying on Qiao's favor, and you open your mouth and ask for ten billion; your appetite is truly not small. If Qiao finds out about this greedy side of you, he will definitely kick you away." Shen Anran suddenly felt that Shu Xia was too hideous.

Shu Xia said coolly, "Mind your own business; you're not that old, so why are you acting like a meddlesome stepmother?"

"Shu Xia!"
