Chapter 691

She does not seem like the kind of young person who relies on her beauty and looks down on others.

Hua Qian spoke in a gentle voice: "Please, sit."

Shu Xia nodded, "Okay."

"See what you would like to drink," Hua Qian said.

"Thank you, I'll just have water." Shu Xia glanced at the water to the side; if she drank coffee at this hour, it would affect her sleep tonight.

Besides, her conversation with Hua Qian would not take long.

Shu Xia did not rush to ask questions, but instead quietly drank a few sips of water while waiting.

Seeing Shu Xia remain so composed, Hua Qian was not too surprised; being able to work in Gu Lao's team and handle work independently, for a newcomer in the workplace to have such ability was enough to show that she had a steady temperament.

It was just that the person at home was not very satisfied.

"You and Mu Ting are married, is that right?" Hua Qian's voice was very gentle.

She did not look like an elder who would be difficult to get along with.

Shu Xia: "Yes."

Hua Qian nodded with a smile, "Mu Ting's father and I only found out about this matter two days ago, and we also understand that it was the old lady who brought you two together. Mu Ting is the most filial; he would absolutely not refuse the old lady's matchmaking."

Her voice paused.

Seeing that Shu Xia still had a calm expression and was quietly listening to her speak, Hua Qian suddenly felt that her cold and heartless stepson was afraid that he liked Shu Xia, otherwise it would be impossible to be so willing to get married.

This was not going to be easy to handle.

"However, Mu Ting's father had already chosen someone for him to marry. The two families are of equal status, and they share the same background; being together could make the relationship between the two families even closer and more trusting. And the first time I saw you, I had a good impression of you, thinking that you are definitely a girl worth liking. It is a pity that you and Mu Ting are not on the same path; you are not a match. Being with Mu Ting, your identity is not yet known to the outside world, but once the outside world knows your identity, you will not be able to handle it."

Having said this, Hua Qian had been observing the changes in Shu Xia's expression.

A pity.

Although the girl is not old, she knows how to hide things and stay steady.

She looks well-behaved, but in reality, she is not; she will not easily have her emotions influenced by others' words.

Even now, when it involves a negation, she can still maintain her composure without a change in expression.

"You know what I mean. After all, I am only Mu Ting's stepmother. I came to see you today because it is not convenient for Mu Ting's father to see you, so I came over today to tell you these things. I did not want to hurt you, but now it seems my words must have hurt you," Hua Qian continued to say.

Shu Xia nodded calmly, "So, what do you want me to do?"

Hua Qian was even more surprised; she did not expect Shu Xia to be so transparent and easy to talk to, without any superfluous words, asking directly for the point.

She had originally prepared herself mentally that coming here today would be very difficult to handle; how many girls could let go after being able to marry Qiao Muting?

She had not even taken out the generous compensation that could make people let go.

"We want you to divorce Mu Ting. Before your marriage is known to others, if you divorce now, the impact on Mu Ting or the Qiao Family will be reduced. Don't worry, we will provide you with compensation, and if you have any requests, you can also bring them up; we will absolutely not treat you unfairly," Hua Qian's tone became even gentler.

A child who is sensible is truly very worry-free.

Shu Xia nodded lightly, "Have you asked Qiao Muting?"

Hua Qian's eyes flickered, "Mu Ting respects the old lady, so if the old lady does not agree, he probably will not divorce you, but this does not mean he likes you and does not want to divorce you. Do you understand this point?"

"I understand." Shu Xia nodded again.

With things said so clearly, if she didn't understand, she would truly be too slow to react.

She never thought that one day the plot of a movie would play out with her in it.

As one of the protagonists, this feeling is very subtle.
