Chapter 472

"Huo Jingyan lied to me! He actually lied to me!"

The moment the call connected, the strength Jiang Nannan had been feigning instantly collapsed.

She knew clearly what deception meant.

Today was absolutely not the first time Huo Jingyan had lied to her.

Shu Xia had just returned to Xinghai Villa and finished changing her shoes when she heard Jiang Nannan's distraught words, and her heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, the figure of Ye Yaoguang suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Nannan, where are you? I'll come find you."

She changed back into her shoes, preparing to leave.

Just then, she ran into Qiao Muting, who was returning.

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow when he saw Shu Xia about to head out.

After confirming that Jiang Nannan was at home, Shu Xia said to Qiao Muting, "My friend has some things to deal with, I need to rush over now, and I probably won't be back tonight."

After saying this, without waiting for any reaction from Qiao Muting, she walked out quickly.

Qiao Muting looked at the empty doorway and muttered coldly to himself, "A friend?"

What kind of friend could make her leave in such a rush after receiving a phone call?

From just now until this moment, she hadn't even spared him a single glance?

Qiao Muting pressed his lips together, a cold light emerging in his eyes.

By the time Shu Xia arrived at the Huo Family, Jiang Nannan had stopped crying.

However, she didn't know where she had found several bottles of alcohol.

She had already drunk a large bottle by herself.

She was covered in the smell of alcohol.

Seeing Shu Xia, Jiang Nannan couldn't hold back, and her eyes turned red again.

"I was lied to by Huo Jingyan, he lied to me, do you know that?"

"He could have told me that he didn't like coming home, or that he didn't like me anymore; I would have let him go and let him not have to see me, but he shouldn't have lied to me, he really shouldn't have!"

"I trusted him so much!"

Shu Xia took the bottle from Jiang Nannan's hand, "What did he lie to you about?"

While crying, Jiang Nannan told her everything that had just happened.

"Are you sure it was him you saw?" Shu Xia asked.

Jiang Nannan nodded forcefully, "Of course I'm sure. I know him and I know his driver. When he told me he was on a business trip, his tone was normal. I can be certain that his frequent business trips lately were all lies. He definitely has something he's hiding from me, perhaps... perhaps he has fallen for another woman."

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Nannan felt her heart twist with pain, and it became difficult to breathe.

Shu Xia's expression was grave, "Right now, we only know he lied to you this one time; we cannot speculate on anything else. Nannan, although I know a little about the relationship between you and your husband, I don't understand President Huo. You know better than anyone what kind of person he is and what changes he has had recently. You need to calm down, think carefully, and also think about what to do next."

Jiang Nannan had originally been at a loss, not even knowing what to do.

Upon hearing this, the effects of the alcohol dissipated by more than half.

She sobered up.

She sat on the sofa and buried her head in her knees.

"That's right, the person who knows him best is me. We've known each other for so long, and I've seen the way his eyes used to be filled only with me. That's why his current deception, and his coldness and distance toward me during this time, have made me constantly doubt myself and be deceived. I want to know the reason he lied to me."

Jiang Nannan said in an extremely calm tone.

"I am going to find out the truth."

Seeing that Jiang Nannan was gradually calming down, Shu Xia supported her, "No matter what you find out, or even if it turns out to be just a misunderstanding, I will be by your side."

Jiang Nannan did not continue to cry.

She had a very strong intuition that the reason Huo Jingyan lied to her was not a misunderstanding.
