Chapter 575

"A criminal police officer? You bastard, you believe whatever anyone tells you? Apologize to her properly, then get back here!" Huo Laoye roared.

In the Huo Family, everyone pampered Huo Laoye, fearing they might upset him.

Although Huo Tianye was on the other end of the phone, he could still feel Huo Laoye's fury very clearly.

He felt that at any moment, Huo Laoye might kick him through the phone.

Huo Tianye looked sharply at Jiang Nannan, "What exactly does her husband do?"

Jiang Nannan was also stunned by the question, "Why do you care what her husband does!"

"Who on earth..." Huo Tianye looked at Shu Xia again.

Shu Xia remained calm and composed, not wanting to answer.

The last shred of Huo Tianye's drunkenness vanished; his grandfather rarely got this angry. He looked at Lu Ze again, "Who exactly is her husband?"

Lu Ze did not speak either.

"You have too many questions." Jiang Nannan felt so guilty inside; she had been spouting nonsense earlier, using her cousin as a shield. Shu Xia didn't even have a boyfriend, so where would she have a husband?

However, why was Huo Tianye so insistent on knowing who Shu Xia's husband was?

Was he completely sick in the head?

Just then, the police officers who had been collecting statements at the hot pot restaurant returned, and they brought several people back with them.

"They have come to testify, to testify for the two young ladies," the police officer said directly after entering.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze said to Huo Tianye, "Now we can have a proper talk."

Huo Tianye suddenly felt his legs go weak.

Half an hour passed.

Huo Tianye walked out of the police station first with a dazed expression, and as he walked out, he saw a car parked by the side of the road.

He glanced over and suddenly saw the person inside through the half-lowered car window.

The first look felt very familiar.

He looked again, and it was actually Qiao Muting!

Suddenly, it dawned on him; Shu Xia's husband was no damn criminal police officer—the person behind Shu Xia was actually Qiao Muting!

No wonder Lu Ze had come in person.

No wonder his grandfather had called him!

He frantically took out his phone, and just as he was about to delete his social media post, his gaze fell upon a comment from Jiang Tu.

Jiang Tu had said he had quite a lot of nerve.

At the time, he thought Jiang Tu was complimenting him, but now he realized clearly that Jiang Tu knew about the relationship between Shu Xia and Qiao Muting. He knew so many people, so why hadn't anyone told him that Qiao Muting had a woman by his side?

Hadn't Qiao Muting always been without a woman by his side?

Among all the noble daughters of the many families in Jing City, Qiao Muting hadn't taken a fancy to a single one.

He was so wronged!

He didn't dare look at Qiao Muting again and fled in a panic; one could only imagine what kind of punishment he would face when he got home!

A few minutes later, Shu Xia, Jiang Nannan, and Lu Ze also walked out.

As Shu Xia walked out, the half-lowered windows of the car by the road were all rolled down completely.

Qiao Muting's cold and noble face was revealed.

Shu Xia was stunned when she saw Qiao Muting, feeling somewhat surprised that he had actually come too.

Lu Ze nodded toward Qiao Muting.

Qiao Muting bypassed Lu Ze and looked directly at Shu Xia, his black eyes dark and bottomless.

Jiang Nannan followed their gaze and saw Qiao Muting, "Qiao Muting?"

Why was he here?

Suddenly, it was as if something had exploded in her mind.

She immediately widened her eyes and turned to look at Shu Xia, "Don't you think you owe me a proper explanation?"
