Chapter 521

At this moment, she should be busy too.

"Hurry up! It's starting!" Jiang Tu urged.

Someone to the side said to Jiang Tu, "You're the only one who dares to urge Qiao Muting."

"What of it? He's not some monster or demon; he's not that scary!" Jiang Tu didn't care much.

He had observed carefully just now; after reading the WeChat message, he didn't say anything, but then made a phone call.

This clingy streak really makes it look like he is truly unusual toward Shu Xia.

Has he fallen for Shu Xia?

——

Shen Anran returned home, lay on the sofa, and closed her eyes to rest for a long time.

She raised her hand to press her temples.

Then she picked up her phone and searched for news about the Lin Family.

Lin Miao went crazy, Lin Qi had his pants pulled down, Lin Xu was rejected everywhere he auditioned, and Lin Bin was turned away while looking for work.

Almost every day, reporters followed and reported on the affairs of the Lin Family.

After all, the fall of a wealthy family generates enough heat.

High-heat news is hard to come by, and now that they have finally encountered it, no one wants to miss out.

She hadn't thought much of it before, but thinking of Shu Xia's words today, Shen Anran's head throbbed with pain, and she couldn't help but frown again.

Suddenly, Mother Shen called.

"You said you thought of a way to save the family, how is the progress now? Your uncles come to the house to cause trouble every day, Mom can barely hold on. Also, the Lin Family's situation has been very intense lately; everyone says it's because they offended Qiao Muting that they ended up in this state. Your uncles think that our Shen Family will become the second Lin Family."

Hearing Mother Shen's words, Shen Anran's face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly, "Mom, we will not become the second Lin Family."

"Tell Mom, what is the method you thought of? Did you think of how to beg Qiao Muting?" Mother Shen's heart had become increasingly uneasy over the past two days.

Especially after the Lin Family incident happened and their own Shen Family's situation worsened, she could barely sleep at night.

"I have a way to make Shu Xia help me, it just needs some time. Mom, you all need to wait patiently. You must not be anxious," Shen Anran urged Mother Shen.

Although she said that, after seeing Shu Xia's attitude today, Shen Anran, who had been very confident, was now plunged into self-doubt.

After Mother Shen nagged for a few more sentences, she hung up the phone.

Shen Anran's heart, however, kept beating fast, and it was hard for her to calm down.

She was effectively being shelved at the television station.

The new program she mentioned to Shu Xuan and the others was just an excuse; the television station had not prepared a new program for her.

She did not have much time left.

It seems she must make up her mind to marry Shu Xuan as soon as possible.

Only by becoming family with Shu Xia and making Shu Xia trust her—she must take this step.

She lowered her head to look at her phone and flipped through her photo album to find a picture of Qiao Muting.

Her hand rested gently upon it.

It was as if she were touching Qiao Muting through the phone.

"Are you too heartless?"

——

Shu Xia and Jiang Nannan were originally going to eat together in the evening.

But Huo Jingyan came to pick up Jiang Nannan in person, so Shu Xia couldn't be a third wheel and parted ways with the two of them; it was only on the way to the parking lot that she remembered to check her phone.

Qiao Muting had called her an hour ago.

He must have seen her WeChat message.
