Chapter 702

Qiao Guanqing nodded, "Just arrange it as you see fit; there is no need to tell me about every little thing."

"Alright, I will arrange it. Husband, you have many things to handle, so I will take care of these small matters well," Hua Qian said in a soft voice.

She gently kneaded Qiao Guanqing's shoulders and neck with her hands.

What Qiao Guanqing liked most was this gentleness and thoughtfulness of Hua Qian's.

Over so many years, he had had many women by his side, but the only person he could always keep in his heart was the Hua Qian before him.

He had never regretted the decision he made back then.

Perhaps the only person he felt sorry for was his son, Qiao Muting.

——

Shu Xia and Qiao Muting finally ate lunch together.

They ate at a ramen shop in the shopping mall across the street.

During the meal, Qiao Muting informed Shu Xia of the situation Huo Jingyan had mentioned.

Shu Xia's expression was grave, "I feel that these hands are constantly closing in on you, silently and stealthily, impossible to guard against."

"I have you, it doesn't matter," Qiao Muting said, not caring much.

Shu Xia frequently visited Laozhai and was with him every day; neither he nor his grandmother would be in any danger.

"Sometimes I may have oversights, so the most important thing is to have a firm will and not be easily deceived by these things," Shu Xia said in a low voice.

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow, "Is my willpower not strong enough?"

Shu Xia was momentarily speechless; his willpower was firm enough when it needed to be, but at times, he was also too indulgent.

Suddenly.

Shu Xia turned her head to look behind her.

Seeing this, Qiao Muting asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing," Shu Xia checked again; it should have just been her imagination, as there was no one around looking at her.

Qiao Muting swept a glance in the direction of Shu Xia's gaze, his black eyes slightly darkening and turning cold.

Finally, his gaze landed on a certain spot, paused for a few seconds, and then he withdrew it, "I will drop you off first later."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, Qiao Muting dropped Shu Xia off at the Gu Corporation Building.

On the way back to the company, Qiao Muting made a phone call to Zhang Tezhu.

"Find a few people to protect Shu Xia in secret, and then see if anyone is secretly following and investigating Shu Xia."

Having not seen that person for several years, he had almost forgotten that person's methods.

To achieve their goals, they could use any sinister means.

That kind of method and darkness was definitely not something Shu Xia could face.

Zhang Tezhu stood ready, "Understood, I will arrange it immediately; the people will be in place in an hour."

"Mm."

Song Ziqi left the Qiao Group with a smile on her face.

In the taxi, she first shared her joy with a few friends.

She hadn't relied on anyone; she had entered the Qiao Group through her own ability.

From now on, she would be a colleague of Brother Mu Ting.

She wondered how Brother Mu Ting would react when he saw her at the company.

After notifying a few close friends, she called Jiang Tu.

However, Jiang Tu did not answer.

Usually, Jiang Tu would answer her calls very quickly.

She suddenly thought of Jiang Tu's words before the interview; could it be that Jiang Tu wanted to draw a line between them?

Did he not like her and really go to get engaged?

Would he really accept a family-arranged marriage? Wasn't this kind of arranged marriage what he disliked the most and wanted to accept the least?

Thinking of this, Song Ziqi called Jiang Tu again, but still, no one answered.

Half an hour later, Jiang Tu only replied with a message saying he was busy.

Such a perfunctory attitude made Song Ziqi unable to accept it for a moment; unwilling to give up, she called again, and this time Jiang Tu answered.
