Chapter 673

Shu Chen sensed something and narrowed his eyes, "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"

"There are indeed some things, but now is not the time for you to know; wait a while." Shu Xuan knew that Shu Xia was looking for an opportunity for the family to meet Qiao Muting.

Shu Chen did not ask further, "Alright, by the way, ever since you and Shen Anran returned home last time, it seems I haven't heard you mention her. It's like this, I recently heard some rumors about Shen Anran; it seems she was fired from the television station, and then it seems something happened to her family. You..."

"I'm fine, the two of us have already broken up." Shu Xuan's tone was calm.

Only Xia Xia knew that he and Shen Anran had broken up recently.

Shu Chen was taken aback, "You broke up?"

"It wasn't because of what happened to the Shen Family; there were other reasons that crossed my bottom line," Shu Xuan explained simply.

Shu Chen frowned, thinking of some rumors he had heard before; he hadn't believed a single one of them when he heard them at the time.

It was precisely because he trusted Shu Xuan's judgment; since it was someone Shu Xuan chose, then they were worth trusting.

But now it seemed that those rumors were likely true.

"Alright, Brother, if you need someone to drink with, just call me. I'm currently preparing for my next film, so I have time to drink with you," Shu Chen said immediately.

Shu Xuan said alright, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Mm, I should sleep too."

Shu Chen looked at the phone that had been hung up, thinking about what Shu Xuan had just said.

It should just be him overthinking things.

Since that was the case, then he wouldn't think about it.

There was no need to think about it either.

Didn't Brother just say it? In a while, he would know the reason.

That was true.

In a while, he would know whether Qiao Muting really liked men or not. As long as he didn't pester him, then what happened today was just a misunderstanding!

——

The next day.

Shu Xia finally went to work after a few days.

At first, when Gu Lao learned she was coming to work today, he immediately called to ask about her health and wanted to continue giving her time off. Only after she repeatedly assured him that her health was fine did Gu Lao agree to let her come to work.

There was no new work; it was all work from before she went to the county.

Others could not do this work for the time being; only she could complete it.

She was busy for the whole day.

During the lunch break, she ate takeout.

When it was time to get off work, Gu Cheng sent a WeChat message telling her that he would be back in two days.

Upon learning that Gu Cheng was coming back, Shu Xia was naturally happy.

There were some trivial work processes that indeed required Gu Cheng's help, which could speed up the work progress.

Arriving at the parking lot, she had just gotten into the car.

Suddenly, someone pulled open the passenger door and sat in.

Shu Xia looked at the person who had come uninvited and intruded suddenly.

It was actually Lin Qi.

"Get out," Shu Xia said sternly.

"I am your older brother, what kind of attitude is that? You haven't come home to see us for a while, something happened to the family, and you don't even know how to help the family. Now that I've come to find you, this is the attitude you have?"

Lin Qi was thicker-skinned than before. In the past, at the very least, he thought of himself as the eldest young master of the Lin Family and felt he had to have some standards. Now, it was fine; not long after falling into the dust, his skin was already thicker than a wall.
