Chapter 665

There was still half an hour left until the time Zhang Tezhu had told her.

She could sit down and rest for a while.

She opened her phone and discovered that Jiang Nannan had called her ten minutes ago.

At the time, there were many people, and some music might have drowned out the phone's ringtone.

She called back.

After only a few rings, Jiang Nannan answered the phone.

"Nannan, I didn't hear the phone ring just now," Shu Xia explained first.

"Sheng Laoshi didn't agree to my resignation and gave me a month's leave first. I didn't expect Sheng Laoshi to not only not blame me but instead insist that I stay; I feel very guilty," Jiang Nannan said in a low voice.

It was not hard to hear that Jiang Nannan was in low spirits.

"Is it up ahead?" the taxi driver suddenly asked Jiang Nannan.

Shu Xia heard the driver's inquiry, "Nannan, where are you?"

"Yes, it's right up ahead," Jiang Nannan responded to the driver first.

Then she continued by putting the phone back to her ear.

"I'm in a taxi, preparing to go back to the home that Huo Jingyan and I share; my mother is waiting for me there. There are some things I think I can't keep hidden anymore, so it's a good time to be honest with my mother and the others. It's also beneficial for both sets of parents to know; perhaps Huo Jingyan and I won't have to keep dragging this out."

Shu Xia also did not know how to tell Jiang Nannan to make a decision or how to walk this path.

The person involved was Jiang Nannan.

"I believe your mother and the others will support every decision you make. Nannan, decisions made while calm are less likely to be regretted. When you see Huo Jingyan, you must stay calm," Shu Xia urged softly.

Jiang Nannan pulled at the corners of her mouth, making herself look relaxed, "Mm, I've been thinking about it seriously all afternoon and along the way. I'm almost there, let's stop chatting for now. I have time for the next month, we'll get together later, don't worry about me."

After the call ended, Shu Xia looked at her phone, feeling a bit dazed.

Many things had happened recently.

It was a pity about Nannan and Huo Jingyan.

If Huo Jingyan hadn't been misled by Ye Yaoguang's schemes, Huo Jingyan probably wouldn't have cheated.

Even if Huo Jingyan's feelings for Jiang Nannan weren't that firm, as long as he was rational enough, he could have resisted temptation.

The ringtone of a message brought Shu Xia back to her senses.

Qiao Muting: 【I've arrived, I'm downstairs.】

Shu Xia specifically instructed the staff not to reveal that she had already arrived, and replied immediately: 【Then you go up and wait for me first, I'll be there in about ten minutes.】

When she came, she had specifically parked the car across the street instead of at the restaurant entrance, just in case her excuse was discovered.

Her small car was too conspicuous in front of the restaurant and would be easily recognized.

Qiao Muting: 【I'll wait for you downstairs.】

【No need to wait for me, you go ahead and order the dishes for me, that way I can eat as soon as I arrive; I'm really so hungry right now.】 Shu Xia was between laughter and tears; if this were in the past, she wouldn't have said anything, as there was no difference between waiting downstairs or upstairs.

Qiao Muting: 【Okay.】

Shu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

And Qiao Muting walked straight into the restaurant.

He headed toward the elevator.

As it happened, someone else was also going upstairs.

Qiao Muting's cold eyes swept over the person who entered, and his expression changed slightly.

Shu Chen?

Shu Chen was looking down at his phone; he knew there was someone in the elevator but didn't pay attention to who it was.

Feeling that the person was looking at him, he turned his head sharply.

When he saw Qiao Muting, he was stunned for a moment.

He had previously watched Shen Anran's interview.
