Chapter 77

Several managers who were reporting their work progress nearby saw Qiao Muting's expression turn somber; their hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately became even more cautious in their speech.

Zhang Tezhu hadn't noticed anything just a moment ago, but suddenly he saw the only table of guests sitting in the hot pot restaurant, and one of them was actually Miss Shu.

They could run into each other even here?

What a coincidence.

He secretly observed Qiao's expression; it was quite frightening. Could it be that Qiao and Miss Shu had a falling out?

And now that he saw Miss Shu, was Qiao still somewhat angry?

Although he hadn't spent much time with Miss Shu, she seemed like the type of person who was very easy to get along with. Could Qiao be angry because of those photos he had sent earlier?

——

After Shu Xia and Jiang Nannan finished their hot pot, Jiang Nannan clamored to take Shu Xia to a great place.

She said she wanted to show Shu Xia what kind of man is truly a man.

The two of them had just gotten into the car.

Jiang Nannan's phone rang.

"Hubby."

"Mom isn't feeling very well, go check on her. I'm currently on a business trip in Ha City and can't get back for the time being," Huo Jingyan's voice came through the phone.

Jiang Nannan frowned: "You went to Ha City?"

"Arrived in Ha City this morning, back the day after tomorrow." Huo Jingyan's tone was somewhat indifferent; he briefly stated his itinerary and hung up the phone.

Jiang Nannan looked at the hung-up phone, somewhat dazed.

Realizing Shu Xia was beside her, she snapped out of it and said apologetically, "We can't go today, Xia Xia."

"Let's go next time. I'll drop you off first." Shu Xia sensed the change in Jiang Nannan's mood.

This phone call had clearly caused the cheerful Jiang Nannan's mood to become somewhat low.

She had met Jiang Nannan's husband, Huo Jingyan. The two had known each other since they were children and grew up in the same residential compound. Although the Huo Family had developed very well later on, creating a disparity in their family backgrounds, the two had a betrothal since childhood. Huo Jingyan was three years older than Jiang Nannan and had always taken good care of her.

Therefore, the two got married after Jiang Nannan graduated.

If there really was any unhappiness, it was likely just a small spat between the married couple.

After dropping Jiang Nannan off at the Huo Family, Shu Xia saw that the mall hadn't closed yet, so she went to buy two sets of men's clothing.

She happened to pass by Shu Xuan's dormitory.

So she went to deliver the clothes to Shu Xuan.

As it turned out, he was very busy today and wasn't in the dormitory, so she sent him a WeChat message and left the clothes with the residential complex's security guard, waiting for him to come and pick them up after he finished his work.

Walking to the parking lot, she was just about to get into her car when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"Xia Xia, you already know the sequence of events. I am also a victim. It was An Wan who had a crush on me and kept pestering me. Those photos of yours from before, and the videos circulating online, are all fake. After An Wan had plastic surgery, she looked particularly like Lin Miao; people at a distance sometimes mistakenly think the two of them are twins. I don't agree to break up; I haven't done anything wrong."

Shu Xia looked at the shameless Fu Chenyan, "Let go."
