Chapter 525

Today is the weekend, so there is just enough time.

She sat back down on the bed and asked thoughtfully, "You have known Shen Anran for a long time, so you should have some understanding of her. Do you think she is the type of person who, after being rejected by someone she likes, would quickly fall for someone else?"

She still did not want to hurt Shu Xuan.

Although she had not liked Shen Anran as a person since the moment they met, she also felt that some people might change in a sudden moment.

Qiao Muting arched his cold, stern brows, "Why bring her up all of a sudden?"

"Just tell me first." Shu Xia said with a sweet, coquettish smile.

Qiao Muting gazed deeply at Shu Xia, his throat bobbed, and he said, "She is a person who is adept at using schemes to achieve her goals. If she has a certain obsession in her heart, it is impossible for her to let it go easily. In other words, without a special reason, or unless that person's status and position are high enough for her to look up to, she would not have a change of heart."

The smile on Shu Xia's face gradually became grave.

In fact, Qiao Muting's description of Shen Anran was about the same as her own understanding after several encounters.

It was not that Shu Xuan was not outstanding enough; with Shu Xuan's ability, he could hold his own in his field, and he belonged to the top tier.

But for Shen Anran, it was not enough for a person to just have ability; it was about the family behind them.

Otherwise, how could Shen Anran have thought of so many methods to drive her away from Qiao Muting's side?

"It's like this, my brother recently started dating a girlfriend. Yesterday he brought his girlfriend home, and I met her. I didn't expect it to be Shen Anran. I have a gut feeling that since she got in touch with my brother and confirmed a relationship with him in such a short time, I feel she might want to use my brother to do something." Shu Xia slowly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Qiao Muting's expression also turned cold.

"She became your brother's girlfriend?"

Shu Xia nodded.

Qiao Muting gave a light scoff, "Is she trying to take a roundabout path to her goal? I will have Zhang Tezhu look into it."

A roundabout path to her goal...

Shu Xia's gaze darkened, "If that is really the case, she shouldn't have made deceiving my brother the prerequisite."

"I underestimated her." Qiao Muting's tone was laced with coldness.

From childhood to adulthood, there had been all kinds of people in his circle, and many people approached him with ulterior motives; Shen Anran was merely one of them.

——

It did not take many hours for Zhang Tezhu to find out Shen Anran's current situation.

The station head of the television station did not know where he got the news, but he heard that the Shen Family had offended the Qiao Family, and then he began to target Shen Anran.

On the surface, he did not go too far; he just used an excuse to suspend Shen Anran's program.

Shen Anran's program's ratings were average to begin with. Previously, she could invite some big shots, but recently the program's guests had been getting worse and worse, so the cancellation would not make people think too much.

Yesterday, when Shen Anran said at the Jiang Family that she was preparing a new program, it was actually just an excuse. The television station had not prepared a new program for Shen Anran for the time being, and Shen Anran was currently in a state of being suspended from work and resting.

As for her acquaintance with Shu Xuan, it also looked quite accidental; there were no traces of anything intentional.

At most, the two of them had confirmed their romantic relationship a bit quickly.

Zhang Tezhu finally said, "Miss Shu, could it be that Shen Anran really likes your brother? Your brother has become more and more impressive lately. I heard that some companies abroad are offering high salaries to poach your brother."

And Shu Xuan is also very handsome!

He is definitely the type of person who easily makes girls lose their hearts.

Shu Xia was silent for a few minutes, "I also hope she really likes my brother."

There was no way to make a definitive judgment now.

Then...

Wait and see.

Qiao Muting could see Shu Xia's worry, "If she has any ulterior motives, as long as she is in Jing City, she will pay the price for her actions."

If Shen Anran was targeting Shu Xia, he would make Shen Anran taste the consequences of intending to harm his woman.

——

The next day, just as Shu Xia arrived at work, she was called over by Gu Lao.

"I returned the item to that friend. I confirmed that he bought it abroad, and he also bought two other items at the same time. I didn't bring them back, but I took a few photos. Come and take a look."
