Chapter 607

But she was turned away by Jiang Tu.

She knew Jiang Tu was at home.

However, the doorbell rang several times, and she made several phone calls, but no one opened the door or answered.

What happened last night must have made Jiang Tu very disappointed.

"Jiang Tu, I know you are at home, and you should be able to hear what I am saying. This time, it was indeed my lack of consideration, and perhaps I was acting in desperation, which is why I agreed to let my family do this. If... you can still consider our past friendship and put in a good word for me with Qiao Muting, I would be very grateful. Today is the last time I will come to find you. I'm sorry."

After walking a few steps away, Shen Anran looked back at that door.

It did not open.

And it likely would not open.

She bit her red lips before leaving.

After she left, the tightly shut door finally opened. Jiang Tu stood in front of the door, curling his lips in speechlessness, "What were you doing earlier? You treated everything I said yesterday as wind past your ears; you brought this upon yourself."

——

After leaving Jiang Tu's home, Shen Anran returned to the Shen Family.

Perhaps the relatives of the Shen Family hadn't reached any conclusion either; having spent the whole day, they were all somewhat tired and went home one by one.

When Shen Anran returned home, only her father and mother were there.

Seeing Shen Anran return, her mother stepped forward anxiously.

"How was it? Did Shu Xuan agree to help us? He will make a request to Shu Xia, right?" her mother asked impatiently.

Shen Anran hadn't slept last night and had been mentally exhausted all day today, so she now had no strength and said weakly, "Shu Xuan likes and trusts me. It just so happens that Shu Xia is meeting him tonight, so he should speak up for us."

"Should? Why only 'should'? He needs to do his utmost to help our Shen Family get through this crisis. If he can't even do this, then he shouldn't think about being with you; he really isn't worthy." Her mother frowned deeply, very dissatisfied.

Looking at her mother's take-it-for-granted attitude, Shen Anran felt incredibly annoyed for a moment.

Had they still not recognized the reality even at this point?

This time, it was truly their Shen Family that had overestimated their own strength.

Her father wore a look of sorrow, "Is Shu Xuan certain? Will Shu Xia listen to him? I heard that Shu Xia and he are not biological siblings. In this situation, isn't it not so easy to resolve?"

"Dad, what I can guarantee is that I have tried my best and done everything I should have. As for the specific outcome, I cannot predict it. And then there is Shu Xia... she might have prepared some things, and those things might make Shu Xuan waver, so that he won't see me in the future. And Qiao Muting, will he give up his revenge on us for the sake of Shu Xia's brother? If it weren't for what happened yesterday, perhaps he could have let our Shen Family have a breather for Shu Xia's sake. But now..." Shen Anran said with some worry.

She had already tried her utmost to patch up the situation, making Shu Xuan believe that this time was a misunderstanding and that some things were just mistakes from the past.

But...

She could not underestimate Shu Xia.

Nor could she underestimate Qiao Muting.

Because what Shu Xia could not do, Qiao Muting could certainly do.

Her father's face was drained of color.

Her mother looked terrified, "If this doesn't work, what should we do? Your grandfather's side is already in chaos, and even your third uncle and the others are preparing to leave Jing City. I... I have lived in Jing City for so long, I don't want to leave like this."

"It's already too late to leave now. It's not as simple as whether you want to leave or not, Mom. Have you seen how those who drugged Qiao Muting left Jing City?" Shen Anran clenched her hands, feeling lost and fearful inside.

She didn't know why, but her heart was panicking severely.

She only hoped that her status in Shu Xuan's heart could be important enough that no matter what happened, he would stand on her side and protect her! No matter what Shu Xia said or did, he must not believe it!
