Chapter 731

Jiang Nannan lowered her head to look at her phone.

On the phone was a WeChat message that Huo Jingyan had just sent.

He said he could wait slowly.

Just the three words "wait slowly" felt like an accusation against her, as if she, Jiang Nannan, were a heartless person, unable to face all this together with him.

He had been schemed against and was unable to act of his own free will, yet she wanted to leave him while he was suffering the same torment.

And her mother's occasional inquiries and concern felt like she was supervising her to ensure she behaved according to expectations.

They soon arrived at the event venue they were heading to.

When getting out of the car, no matter how many thoughts and struggles she had, they would all sink deep into her heart, not showing a single bit.

——

Shu Xia had just finished a phone call with Qiao Muting, and the two would meet at the hospital later.

She would accompany Qiao Nainai to eat at the hospital in the evening.

She had just clocked out from work.

At the moment she stepped out the door, she was abruptly blocked by someone.

"Shu Xia!"

The two words were almost screamed from the throat.

Shu Xia looked at the person blocking her path.

She had only had two days of peace, and yet someone had come looking for her again.

This time it was not a face from before; it had been replaced by Mother Fu.

Mother Fu glared at Shu Xia with a face full of anger.

It was as if Shu Xia were her enemy.

She had completely forgotten who it was that had taken care of her in the hospital bed for these past few years.

"Shu Xia, do you want us to go find security?" a colleague beside her asked Shu Xia.

Shu Xia shook her head, "You all go ahead, it's nothing."

The colleague didn't say anything more; having spent a long time with Shu Xia, they knew what kind of person she was. Since she said it was nothing, then it should be nothing, and besides, they were at the company entrance, so nothing would happen.

After the colleague left, Shu Xia finally looked directly at Mother Fu.

Mother Fu had been silent for a moment because she felt that the Shu Xia before her was very unfamiliar. She hadn't seen her since they met at the hospital, and seeing her today, she felt even more that Shu Xia's entire temperament had changed greatly.

Seeing her was no different from seeing a stranger.

A thorn suddenly rose in her heart, pricking her very uncomfortably.

"Shu Xia, you started off well but ended badly; are you afraid to let your colleagues know? Do you think that by abandoning my son, you can enjoy wealth and glory? Those men are just treating you like a plaything!" Mother Fu snapped back to her senses and cursed angrily.

She didn't know what had gotten into her son these past two days; after leaving Jing City, he said he wouldn't come back, and after returning to their home in the county, he drank every day and was incredibly decadent.

He even kept saying he regretted it.

He said Shu Xia was too heartless.

And he cursed Lin Miao for being a bitch.

In any case, what he said most was "Shu Xia, I regret it," and his drinking was truly frightening.

She was just a woman; her son had such good conditions, what kind of woman couldn't he find? Why was he so obsessed with Shu Xia?

Mother Fu really couldn't figure it out.

"Are you done? If you're done, you can get lost." Shu Xia had always been polite to elders.

But toward Mother Fu... politeness was useless.

Mother Fu widened her eyes, clearly shocked by Shu Xia's coldness and heartlessness, "What did you say? You're telling me to get lost? Shu Xia, take a good look at me. How did you fawn over me before? Do you think that now that you've found a backer, you can stop putting me and my son in your eyes? When you are abandoned one day and come to beg me, I won't even give you a chance, do you believe me?"

"It's best to pick your time for daydreaming." Shu Xia pushed Mother Fu away.

Mother Fu, having been pushed away, was full of shock, "You will regret this, you will absolutely regret this, do you believe me?!"

Her son was so outstanding; the people who liked her son could line up in a long queue, Shu Xia would definitely regret it!
