Chapter 683

He was a little bit more handsome than him, and a little bit taller too.

But being handsome doesn't mean he can be trusted.

"I am your brother-in-law, are you Shu Hong?" Qiao Muting asked.

It must be said that Shu Xia's family, her older and younger brothers, all look very superior.

Upon hearing the words "brother-in-law," Shu Hong raised his eyebrows noncommittally and glanced at Shu Xia, "Sister."

Qiao Muting curled his thin lips, taking in Shu Hong's stubbornness without a change in expression.

The young man has quite a temper.

Not bad.

Seeing Shu Hong's attitude toward Qiao Muting, Shu Xia felt a bit embarrassed and spoke up: "Your brother-in-law and I got our marriage certificate not long ago; you can call him brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Shu Hong widened his eyes, "Got a marriage certificate?"

Did his sister even find out if this man was worth trusting before going to get a marriage certificate?

This is too sudden, isn't it?

Could this man have just used his face to trick his sister?

"Mm," Shu Xia nodded with a smile.

Shu Hong still couldn't bring himself to say it, his eyes full of wariness as he tried to see through Qiao Muting.

While they were talking, Shu Xia had already brought Qiao Muting inside.

The living room was filled with the fragrant scent of food.

Jiang Ye, Shu Xuan, and the others were busy in the kitchen.

Shu Chen had just gone to the restroom.

Hearing that Shu Xia had gotten a marriage certificate with someone she hadn't known for long and was even making Shu Hong call him brother-in-law, he was so shocked that he pulled up his pants, washed his hands, and hurried out of the restroom.

"Xia Xia!"

He called out to Xia Xia first.

But next, when his gaze swept toward the man who had lured his sister with an extremely sharp look, he was completely stunned.

Qiao Muting?!

"Second Brother, let me introduce you, this is Qiao Muting," Shu Xia introduced him to Shu Chen.

Shu Chen had met Qiao Muting before, but at the time, Shu Chen certainly didn't know about her relationship with Qiao Muting.

"Hello, we have met before. At that time, Xia Xia wasn't there, so I couldn't introduce my relationship with Xia Xia to you," Qiao Muting said in a gentle tone.

Shu Chen's mind was a blank, buzzing. Even his face was red; he wasn't shy, he was just too ashamed to face anyone!

Fortunately, he had only told Shu Xuan about his wishful thinking and self-inflicted worries.

No wonder Shu Xuan said he was overthinking it.

This was truly, genuinely overthinking it!

The reason Qiao Muting was gentle toward him was because of Xia Xia!

"How did you two meet?" Shu Chen quickly calmed down.

He just didn't quite dare to look Qiao Muting in the eye.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Qiao Muting, but that his previous thoughts were too shameful, too small-minded.

So, he stared at Shu Xia and asked.

Shu Xia explained simply: "He is Qiao Nainai's grandson; Qiao Nainai introduced us."

Although she hadn't met Qiao Nainai's family, she had heard of them before.

They are trustworthy.

She couldn't have imagined that Qiao Muting was actually Qiao Nainai's grandson.

Jiang Ye walked out of the kitchen carrying a dish, and upon hearing Shu Xia's words, her hanging heart finally dropped.

"Mom," Shu Xia said when she saw Jiang Ye.

Qiao Muting looked at Jiang Ye and said in a gentle tone, "Mom."

This "Mom" shocked Jiang Ye.

Shu Xia turned her head to look at Qiao Muting again.

Qiao Muting also looked at her.
