Chapter 628

Perhaps only when facing Song Ziqi can he be this patient.

Although he cannot see Song Ziqi and can only hear Song Ziqi's voice through the phone.

But he can imagine that Song Ziqi must be heartbroken right now.

She is truly a girl who can make people feel heartache so easily, anytime and anywhere.

"He only treats you as a younger sister," Jiang Tu said, making his words clearer.

Song Ziqi seemed to be crying, "Did he really say that just now? Did he really say that Xinghai Villa cannot accommodate a third person?"

When she decided to return to Jing City, she had already made up her mind to live with Qiao Muting; she wanted to see him every day and also wanted to know how he really viewed Shu Xia.

Could it be that he only does it to make Qiao Nainai happy, and doesn't like Shu Xia at all?

However, now that he has directly shut her out, it proves that he cares more about Shu Xia.

"Yes," Jiang Tu said.

Song Ziqi burst into tears, "Jiang Tu, is Shu Xia really that good? Good enough that he would go as far as to hurt me just to protect Shu Xia? He doesn't want me to live in Xinghai Villa just because he is afraid Shu Xia will misunderstand; before Shu Xia has even said anything, he has already prevented the misunderstanding in advance. He actually cherishes Shu Xia this much."

Jiang Tu did not know what to say for a moment, "Even if there were no Shu Xia, it would still be impossible between you and him."

"I have things to attend to. I hope you won't let Brother Mu Ting know about this call I made to you," Song Ziqi said, then hung up the phone.

Jiang Tu looked at his phone, and after a moment, he clicked his tongue.

Shu Xia had just started work and was preparing to get to it when Jiang Nannan called, "Shu Xia, come to my apartment after work today. I'm off today, and I don't want to have dinner alone."

"Alright, wait for me to come over tonight. I'll bring dinner when I pass by after work."

"I'll be waiting for you."

——

Qiao Muting was on his way to the company, scrolling through his phone.

As expected, there was no message from Shu Xia.

It once again confirmed his assessment; she was indeed very heartless.

However, there were a few missed calls.

Huo Jingyan?

Unless there was something going on, Huo Jingyan would not call him.

He dialed back.

After it connected, Qiao Muting asked, "What is it?"

"I was looking for you to find Shu Xia. After you didn't answer the phone, I already spoke with Shu Xia this morning, and the matter is resolved," Huo Jingyan said simply, without going into details.

There was a certain tacit understanding among them.

For some simple matters, there was no need to know the details too clearly.

However, Huo Jingyan overlooked the fact that he had just mentioned Shu Xia.

"Looking for Shu Xia? What for?" Qiao Muting asked.

Huo Jingyan was a bit surprised, but he still told the truth, explaining how Ye Yaoguang had schemed against him.

Finally, he gave Shu Xia his affirmation, "Shu Xia is very capable. She just chatted with Gu Jianzhang for a few moments; even Gu Lao has blind spots in his knowledge and doesn't understand these things well, yet Shu Xia was able to determine it directly from the photos. You... you should cherish her well."

He had just wanted to remind Qiao Muting not to be schemed against.

But then he immediately thought of Shu Xia's words: all confusion ultimately depends on whether the person being confused has a firm enough will.

Over these past few years, many people have given Qiao Muting various drugs, but Qiao Muting never let them succeed, almost always resisting them through sheer willpower.

Even at the charity gala two days ago, he was able to see through Shen Anran and ultimately ended up with Shu Xia.
