Chapter 700

Song Ziqi looked at the phone that had been hung up, her heart feeling heavy and uncomfortable.

Why did Jiang Tu have to force her to make a choice?

He clearly knew that she had always liked Brother Mu Ting.

Yet at this very moment, he had to tell her in this way that he was getting engaged.

She had thought he wouldn't settle down; all these years, he had never been without women by his side, but he had never thought about settling down—wasn't that because he had always had her in his heart?

Biting her red lips lightly, she was lost in thought for a long while, when suddenly a few women walked past behind her.

They were about the same age as her.

They were likely all here for the interview.

She composed herself and walked into the Qiao Corporation Building.

——

Today, Qiao Muting had gone to work in Shu Xia's car.

Some documents had been left in Shu Xia's car.

Since he had nothing to do today, he had his driver take the car to the Gu Corporation Building.

Having greeted Gu Lao in advance, he could go straight in to find Shu Xia.

But he hadn't told Shu Xia.

So when he saw Shu Xia working, his gaze involuntarily froze; he stood before the glass, watching for a long while without realizing it.

But for the first time, he also found Gu Cheng, who was standing beside Shu Xia, to be an eyesore.

That brat who hadn't even grown all his feathers yet might as well have had the word "like" pasted on his forehead, staring at Shu Xia with extreme focus.

Even more unscrupulously than he, her husband, was watching.

He pressed his thin lips together.

After finishing his work, Gu Lao came over and saw from afar that Qiao Muting was staring inside the glass, his eyes seemingly about to grow into it.

One look was enough to know that this kid was likely head over heels for Shu Xia.

In the past two days, he had heard some rumors that it seemed Qiao Muting's father did not approve of Qiao Muting and Shu Xia being together.

"Once Xia Xia gets busy, she rarely pays attention to the outside world. She has truly learned the essence of Zhong Jiejie, and she even has the ability to surpass her master," Gu Lao said, not sparing any praise for Shu Xia.

The implication was that Shu Xia was very outstanding, and Qiao Muting having married Shu Xia was truly a stroke of immense good fortune from his past life.

Moreover, Xia Xia had helped several old friends recently, and now these old friends were all thinking about how to repay Shu Xia.

This kind of favor was not something just anyone could receive.

People of their older generation saw things more thoroughly.

It might seem that Shu Xia's family background was low and couldn't compare to Qiao Muting's, but who would end up getting the better deal was not necessarily certain!

Qiao Muting nodded, "She is indeed very outstanding."

He rarely saw this side of Shu Xia.

Now seeing it with his own eyes, Qiao Muting felt his heartbeat stall for a split second.

Just then, Shu Xia discovered Qiao Muting.

Separated by a glass window, Shu Xia was surprised and dazed for a moment, thinking she had seen wrong.

Gu Cheng was stunned: "Qiao Muting?"

Shu Xia put down the work in her hands and walked out.

"My documents were left in your car," Qiao Muting explained after Shu Xia walked out.

Shu Xia realized, no wonder Qiao Muting appeared here, "I didn't notice there were documents in the car, I'll go check the car."

"Okay."

The two walked side by side toward the elevator.

The completely ignored Gu Lao and Gu Cheng, grandfather and grandson, exchanged a look.

Gu Cheng said with some jealousy: "Shu Xia is so good, Grandpa, look at how cold and arrogant Qiao Muting is, as if everyone owes him something; I don't know if he treats Shu Xia any better."

It was quite like the attitude of: if you aren't going to treat Shu Xia well, I'll treat her well, so don't hog the spot if you aren't going to do anything.
