Chapter 627

Qiao Muting slept at Jiang Tu's house last night.

When he woke up and saw it wasn't Xinghai Villa, he was dazed for a moment.

Jiang Tu stood in front of the door, holding a glass of water and drinking, "I called Zhang Tezhu last night and said you would be late to the company today. What on earth is wrong with you? I've never seen you drink so recklessly; are you treating alcohol like plain water?"

Qiao Muting got out of bed, didn't answer Jiang Tu's question, and said coldly, "Where is the bathroom?"

"Over there."

While Qiao Muting went to bathe, Jiang Tu ordered breakfast for delivery.

By the time Qiao Muting came out, the delivery had already arrived.

Qiao Muting had no appetite and walked straight out, "Eat it yourself."

"I ordered a whole bunch, won't you have a few bites? There's both Chinese and Western food," Jiang Tu asked.

"Not interested."

"Wait, Song Ziqi just sent me a message saying she'll be back in about a month. Where will she stay then?" Jiang Tu gathered from Song Ziqi's tone that she wanted to live at Xinghai Villa.

Although she didn't say it so bluntly, Song Ziqi had no relatives in Jing City; she used to live at the Laozhai, and moved to live at school in high school, returning to the Laozhai during winter and summer breaks.

Now, during her four years of university, she had hardly returned to Jing City.

Once she returns to Jing City to work, she will need to settle down in Jing City.

Qiao Muting, who had walked to the door, glanced at Jiang Tu, "Since she is already an adult, she can live on her own. I gave her a house when she turned eighteen, which is enough for her future life."

The promises he made to Song Ziqi's mother have now all been fulfilled.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tu was dumbfounded, "Just let her live outside alone? Isn't it too unsafe for a girl to live alone? I remember your Xinghai Villa is big and spacious with many rooms; she could go live there."

Qiao Muting's eyes darkened.

Jiang Tu immediately realized he had spoken out of turn, "I was just making a casual suggestion; I overstepped."

"Xinghai Villa is the marital home for me and Shu Xia. Do you think my marital home can accommodate a third person?" Qiao Muting asked back in a cold voice.

Jiang Tu's expression shifted.

The moment the door closed, Jiang Tu let out a soft curse.

"In his eyes, Shu Xia is already more important than Song Ziqi. I see it clearly now; to him, Song Ziqi is nothing more than the fulfillment of a promise. Poor little Ziqi, she still can't see it clearly even now, and is single-mindedly wanting to jump into the fire," Jiang Tu said, frowning tightly.

A few minutes later, Song Ziqi called.

"You said earlier that Mu Ting was staying at your place. I didn't think much of it at the time, but then I realized, shouldn't he be staying at Xinghai Villa? Why did he drink so much? And why did he let other girls get close to him? Did something happen between him and Shu Xia?"

Faced with a barrage of questions, Jiang Tu didn't know which one to answer first.

"I'm not too sure what's going on between him and Shu Xia. The girl sitting next to him yesterday was a friend of mine; there's nothing between them. Song Ziqi, I suggest you put those thoughts away; you and Qiao Muting are impossible," Jiang Tu advised kindly.

Song Ziqi was silent for a moment, "Some things aren't things you can just stop thinking about just because you say you shouldn't. You should know how I feel about him."

Even now, she still couldn't understand why Qiao Muting married Shu Xia.

What exactly does Qiao Muting like about Shu Xia?

That she's pretty and has a good figure?

Jiang Tu was speechless, "Being so obsessed isn't a good thing. When you were eighteen, Qiao Muting gave you a house, right? You can give me the keys and send me the style you like, and I'll find someone to renovate it for you so you can move straight in when you get back."

"I... I don't want to live there. Xinghai Villa can't possibly not have room for me, right?" Song Ziqi's voice lowered slightly.

"I just tested Qiao Muting; he was the one who said he gave you a house and that Xinghai Villa only houses him and Shu Xia, and cannot accommodate a third person. I think Qiao Muting actually knows your intentions. You... should think it over carefully," Jiang Tu continued to advise.
