Chapter 589

"What were you thinking about just now, so intently?" Jiang Tu asked.

Shen Anran was startled and looked in astonishment at Jiang Tu, who had suddenly appeared before her, "I wasn't thinking about anything."

"I heard you've had some trouble at the television station recently, and your program was cut? Have you thought about trying somewhere else? If you leave Jing City, you should have many opportunities; if you stay in Jing City... you probably don't have many choices," Jiang Tu kindly reminded her.

After all, they grew up together and moved in the same circles, seeing each other constantly.

He would just consider it accumulating merit for himself by giving Shen Anran a pointer.

Shen Anran understood Jiang Tu's warning.

She gave a bitter smile, took a sip of red wine, and then said, "Our Shen Family has been in Jing City for decades; if we leave, wouldn't we become a joke?"

Moreover, if she herself were to leave Jing City and go to work at a television station in another city, it would be a complete lowering of her own status.

By then, all sorts of rumors about her would surely spread all over the country, and wouldn't she be even more embarrassed then?

"Do you know about the Lin Family? They fell to such a state that they don't even have a chance to make a comeback. I've said all I can; take care of yourself," Jiang Tu said, not wanting to say more.

However, after walking a few steps away, he suddenly thought of something.

He stopped and looked back at Shen Anran, "Do not try to provoke Qiao Muting again, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

Shen Anran's expression changed.

Her red lips slowly pursed, and her peripheral vision looked toward Qiao Muting's direction without leaving a trace.

Many people wanted to get close to Qiao Muting tonight, but he possessed an aura that kept strangers at a distance, making people feel intimidated and afraid to approach.

Mother Shen walked over and asked in a low voice, "I saw Jiang Tu come over to talk to you. What did he say? Is it possible for him to help our Shen Family get through this current crisis?"

Shen Anran sighed deeply; even at this point, her mother was still so optimistic.

How could anyone possibly help with the difficulties their family was facing now?

Shouldn't they understand better how realistic this world is?

Seeing that Shen Anran only sighed and didn't speak, Mother Shen guessed, "He didn't want to help? Then what did he come over for?"

"To warn me, to have us leave Jing City as soon as possible; perhaps we could make a comeback elsewhere. If we continue to stay, our Shen Family is afraid that..."

Mother Shen immediately stopped Shen Anran from continuing, "Alright, that's enough. Don't overthink it, and don't talk nonsense! If your father hears it, or if your second uncle and the others hear it, there will be a lot of trouble again. Just listen to your father today, you know?"

Perhaps also feeling a bit afraid, she took a deep breath.

Then she lowered her voice and said, "This time is our chance. Your father and your second uncle and the others will arrange everything; it will absolutely be foolproof. At this time, you must not have any other improper thoughts, you know?"

Listening to Mother Shen's confident words, Shen Anran felt a heavy weight in her chest and responded helplessly, "Mm."

She took another look at Qiao Muting without leaving a trace.

Today, Qiao Muting seemed to be in a bad mood; he had barely spoken to the few people beside him, but he had drunk a few glasses of wine.

With so many people here, how exactly had Father and Second Uncle made their arrangements?

Thinking of what was about to happen, Shen Anran's heart rate accelerated.

To hide the panic in her heart, she drank another glass of wine.

Meanwhile, not far away, Ye Yaoguang had been secretly observing Huo Jingyan.

Although she was a staff member today, she was truly conspicuous, and quite a few people had come over to try and probe her situation.

Yet, Huo Jingyan acted as if he didn't see her at all.

Had Huo Jingyan... actually gone through the divorce proceedings with Jiang Nannan?

She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist; a faint fragrance wafted into her nose. If she found an opportunity to get close to Huo Jingyan, she could get Huo Jingyan to sleep with her again.

A few minutes later, Father Shen suddenly came to Shen Anran and gave her a room card, "You go upstairs first!"
