Chapter 43

"I have experience in dating; the calmer it looks on the surface, the more painful it is inside," Gu Cheng said.

"In the past, I thought what you young people said didn't make much sense, but now that I hear you say this, it makes some sense. Pay attention these next few days, and don't go bothering Xia Xia, you hear?" Zhang Dechun said.

Gu Cheng rolled his eyes, "It's trendy to have a May-December romance now. I'm the kind of 'little wolf dog' that older sisters like the most. Who knows, maybe Shu Xia will like me soon."

"Get lost!"

Qiao Group, President's office.

Zhang Tezhu walked in holding a mobile phone and a bulging document bag.

"Has Qiao looked at his phone? Have you seen Miss Shu's social media feed?"

Qiao Muting looked up, his cold gaze sweeping toward Zhang Tezhu, "It is currently working hours."

"Yes, yes, I know it's working hours, but I finally found out what's going on between Miss Shu and Fu Chenyan. Also, Qiao really needs to see the post Miss Shu just made," Zhang Tezhu said hurriedly.

If this were ancient times, the look the boss just gave could definitely kill someone.

His heart had trembled violently just now from the fright.

Qiao Muting picked up the phone placed to the side, opened WeChat, and scrolled through the feed. When he saw the post Shu Xia had made, he furrowed his brows, and his expression turned cold and grim.

"Miss Shu really has broken up with Fu Chenyan. The private investigator found out that Miss Shu went to the police station and even hired a lawyer, saying that Fu Chenyan swindled her money. The police even went to Fu Chenyan's workplace. It looks like Miss Shu is not entangled with Fu Chenyan anymore. I think this Fu Chenyan is just a piece of scum who eats from the bowl while looking at the pot."

"The woman in the photo is the one Miss Shu rode and beat at the hotel that day; she is also the fake daughter who was swapped with Miss Shu at birth. The reason Miss Shu posted this is because Fu Chenyan posted a status this morning saying he was going to propose to Miss Shu."

Zhang Tezhu opened a screenshot from his chat history with the investigator and handed it over for Qiao Muting to see.

"Miss Shu is too cool, she posted directly to the feed to clarify."

Qiao Muting looked at the words '30th of last month' on the phone and furrowed his brows again.

That was the very day they registered their marriage.

Seeing that Qiao Muting didn't speak, Zhang Tezhu asked in astonishment, "Qiao?"

"Go arrange today's work. I need to go to the hospital at three o'clock." Qiao Muting threw the phone back to the side, appearing completely indifferent to whether Shu Xia had broken up with her ex-boyfriend or not.

Zhang Tezhu couldn't fathom his boss's thoughts and scurried off to arrange the work.

While Shu Xia was quietly and meticulously restoring the Ancient Painting, the Lin Family was already in an uproar.

"Miaomiao, what on earth is going on?" Chen Xiuyue's hand holding the phone was trembling.

She couldn't believe that Miaomiao had actually been secretly involved with Xia Xia's boyfriend.

Lin Qi happened to return home today with his second and third younger brothers.

On the way, the three of them saw the social media post. They originally didn't have much feeling for that younger sister Shu Xia; a sister raised outside since childhood, she didn't have a deep bond with them, and was far less important than the status Miaomiao held in their hearts.

But that didn't mean they wouldn't be angry when seeing something like this.

Fortunately, Lin Guanda had gone to the company at this time, otherwise, the atmosphere in the house would have been even worse.

Lin Miao gripped her phone tightly, wishing she were grabbing Shu Xia's hair right now. Calling her a bitch?

Although she hated her to death inside, she still looked at Chen Xiuyue and the others with teary eyes, "The photo is photoshopped. Shu Xia is deliberately framing me."
