Chapter 692

Shu Xia lowered her eyes to look at the water glass in her hand, her lips curling into a cold, mocking smile.

Hua Qian was even more satisfied with Shu Xia's reaction.

Then, Hua Qian took a check out of her clutch.

"You can fill in the amount yourself."

This kind of temptation should be irresistible to a young girl; things that ordinary people cannot obtain in a lifetime are now within reach for Shu Xia.

Shu Xia looked at the check before her, her expression calm and indifferent, "I don't want the check, please take it back, Auntie."

Shu Xia was not interested in this kind of windfall.

Hua Qian was stunned, "You... then what do you want?"

She suddenly thought of some current television dramas and plots in some novels, all of which possessed an unrealistic falseness.

It was very easy for some young girls to develop illusions.

Thinking that wanting nothing would make them appear more fresh and refined, and would make an overbearing CEO look at them differently, allowing them to obtain that ethereal love.

And then, they would have the person and the money as well.

She had just thought that Shu Xia was steady.

Now it seemed she was still too young and her thinking too simple. Not to mention how wealthy families are in reality, Qiao Muting himself would not have such rich emotions.

"I want Qiao Muting to tell me he wants a divorce in person. As long as he says divorce, I will definitely leave." Shu Xia's voice was decisive and crisp.

Her affairs with Qiao Muting should be handled by Qiao Muting coming forward to resolve them with her.

Hua Qian immediately frowned, "You are still too young. You don't know what marrying into the Qiao Family means, and you are even less aware that your background is far from a match for the Qiao Family. What you will face in the future will be all kinds of things, and those things are not what a girl like you who has experienced nothing can face and handle. Although today is our first meeting, I think you are a smart girl, and you should know what to do."

"I am sitting here listening to you speak at length, Auntie, not because what you say is the truth, but because I know you are an elder. The moment I married Qiao Muting, I already clearly knew what I would face. Qiao Muting just sent me a message; he has already returned home. I apologize that I cannot continue to keep you company, Auntie." Shu Xia stood up and picked up the bag beside her, preparing to leave.

Hua Qian immediately frowned: "Do you think Mu Ting likes you? Do you know why he has never had any other women around him all these years? Everyone thinks he is aloof toward women, but in fact, there is someone in his heart, and this person is about to return from abroad. As long as she nods, Qiao Muting will immediately divorce you. It will be completely impossible for you to demand more things with divorce as your goal at that time. The old lady is not your get-out-of-jail-free card; do you understand that at all?"

Upon hearing that there was someone in Qiao Muting's heart, Shu Xia's hand holding the bag tightened slightly.

But she still appeared cold and calm in expression.

"I understand everything you said, Auntie. However, I still stand by my words: when the time comes, if Qiao Muting wants to divorce me because his sweetheart has returned, I will sign the papers immediately. You can rest assured that I do not covet the Qiao Family's things, nor will I demand them." Shu Xia responded.

Hua Qian watched helplessly as Shu Xia left, her expression grave.

Especially when she saw the check left on the table, which Shu Xia hadn't even touched, her brows locked tightly.

After a few minutes, she made a phone call.

"Shu Xia does not agree to a divorce. Husband, Shu Xia is not a girl who is easy to manipulate; she probably won't leave Mu Ting easily. We should probably still start with Mu Ting," Hua Qian said in a deep voice.

"Before the news of their marriage becomes known, they must be made to divorce. She is just a girl from the countryside; think of a way."

"...... Okay."

——

After Shu Xia returned to the car, she called Qiao Muting back.

Qiao Muting had just sent her a message, and she hadn't had time to reply.

"I had some things to attend to just now; I should be home very soon."

Qiao Muting: "Okay."

The slightly cold tone revealed Qiao Muting's mood at that moment.

Shu Xia's eyes flickered, and she paused for a few seconds before ending the call.

More than twenty minutes later, she returned to Xinghai Villa with a smooth journey.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, Zhang Tezhu called her.

"Madam, Qiao has been in a bad mood these past few days. There are some things that are inconvenient for me to tell you, but I hope Madam can keep Qiao company well. I am counting on you, Madam."

Shu Xia was silent for a few seconds, "Okay."
