Chapter 655

~4 min read 726 words

When Song Ziqi saw Shu Xia watching a variety show and eating sunflower seeds with Qiao Nainai, as well as Qiao Muting, she was stunned.

Was this the very important matter Qiao Muting spoke of?

She gripped the exquisite shopping bag in her hand tightly.

"Ziqi? When did you get back? Come over and let me see you."

Qiao Nainai looked up, saw Song Ziqi and Jiang Tu, and beckoned to Song Ziqi.

Song Ziqi came back to her senses, walked over with a smile, and said, "Old Madam."

Shu Xia looked over along with Qiao Nainai, met Song Ziqi's gaze, and nodded with a smile.

The smile on Song Ziqi's face was somewhat stiff.

She knew that since Qiao Nainai had introduced Shu Xia to Brother Mu Ting, she must be very satisfied with Shu Xia.

But knowing it was one thing; she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. After seeing it today, she realized that Qiao Nainai, whom she had been afraid of and dared not get too close to since she was little, was as kind as an ordinary old woman when she was with Shu Xia.

When facing Qiao Nainai, Shu Xia was truly at ease.

It was as if this Laozhai, which she didn't dare to get too close to, was treated by Shu Xia as comfortably as her own home.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt inside.

"Didn't the Old Madam see me? I came to visit the Old Madam a while ago," Jiang Tu said with a cheeky grin as he walked over.

He swept a glance at Qiao Muting, who was sitting with Shu Xia.

Just now, when Shu Xia and Qiao Nainai were chatting happily, the gentleness on Qiao Muting's face was something he had never seen before.

This situation definitely indicated that Qiao Muting liked Shu Xia, and it was a liking held deep in his heart.

Qiao Muting also swept a glance at Jiang Tu.

This glance carried a hint of coldness.

Jiang Tu sensed it and felt wronged in his heart; how was he supposed to know they had come to the Laozhai? If he had known, he would have asked in advance.

It was purely a coincidence.

"Brother Mu Ting, Sister Shu Xia."

After sitting down, Song Ziqi pretended to be nonchalant as she greeted the two of them.

Qiao Muting nodded.

Shu Xia smiled: "Did you just return from K City?"

"I just got off the plane and came straight to the Laozhai." Song Ziqi wanted to maintain her smile, but she couldn't smile no matter what.

Then, she handed the exquisite shopping bag in her hand toward Qiao Nainai, "This is a gift I bought for the Old Madam, I hope the Old Madam will like it."

"Good, I will accept it, you have a heart." Qiao Nainai took it.

Seeing that Song Ziqi's complexion was not very good, Jiang Tu felt a bit of heartache and helped her say: "Doesn't the Old Madam want to take a look? I helped Ziqi pick it out on the way here just now."

Qiao Nainai looked at Jiang Tu, "You helped too?"

Although she asked this, she still opened the bag and took the jewelry box out from inside.

After the jewelry box was opened, the sparkling diamond necklace inside came into view.

It was indeed a style that some young girls would like.

The Old Madam said with a smile: "Ziqi has good taste, I like it very much."

"Then shall I help the Old Madam put it on to try?" Song Ziqi immediately asked cautiously.

She also wanted to win the Old Madam's favor.

Especially now, she really wanted the Old Madam to know that what Shu Xia could do, she could do too.

She wanted Brother Mu Ting to see it even more.

Qiao Nainai said with a smile: "I am wearing a necklace around my neck today, so there is no need to try it on for now. It is rare for you all to come visit this old woman, let's all chat together, and stay for a meal at the Laozhai at noon. It has been a long time since I have eaten the food cooked by the Laozhai chef, so it is just right to stay and have a taste today."
