Chapter 798

Because Shu Xia's injuries were still in the recovery period and she was worried about scarring, they ultimately chose a Northeast Chinese restaurant.

There weren't that many spicy dishes.

Moreover, both of them really liked eating sweet and sour pork.

"Do you have any other plans after eating?" Shu Xia asked.

Jiang Nannan shook her head: "No."

"Then come shopping with me; I want to buy a car."

"Sure, I actually want to buy one too. Taking taxis often isn't very convenient, and sometimes I have to trouble Sheng Laoshi and the others to drop me off when I get home in the middle of the night. I'm also a bit afraid of safety issues when taking a taxi alone, so I happen to need a car too."

The two of them hit it off immediately.

In fact, Jiang Nannan noticed that Shu Xia was a bit distracted today.

So she didn't ask about what exactly happened with Shu Xia's injuries, or how the car ended up so damaged it couldn't be driven at all.

She had originally thought Qiao Muting cared a lot about Shu Xia, but looking at it now, it seemed like there were some problems between the two of them.

When the two of them walked out of the restaurant, they happened to run into Huo Jingyan, Jiang Tu, and their group coming out of a restaurant nearby.

Shu Xia knew all of those people.

She watched the change in Huo Jingyan's expression when he saw Jiang Nannan, without revealing her own thoughts.

Jiang Tu rubbed his nose, looked at Huo Jingyan, then at Jiang Nannan, and finally looked at Shu Xia; he had been wanting to find Shu Xia to ask her something for the past few days, but hadn't found an opportunity.

Now they had bumped into each other by coincidence, but the timing wasn't quite right.

The other three people on the side were all sharp; seeing that Huo Jingyan and Jiang Tu didn't speak, they also kept their mouths shut and didn't call Jiang Nannan "sister-in-law."

They also didn't greet Shu Xia.

From Jiang Tu's occasional remarks, it could be seen that Qiao Muting had given his true heart to Shu Xia.

However, they all knew now that Xu Zihan had returned.

It was unclear whether this sincerity had been taken back by Qiao Muting.

Meanwhile, Huo Jingyan's gaze was fixed on Jiang Nannan, and it was unknown what was surging within his dark eyes.

When Jiang Nannan saw Huo Jingyan, her smile stiffened instantly.

They hadn't seen each other since they parted at the Civil Affairs Bureau that day; occasionally when she talked to her parents on the phone, she wouldn't take the initiative to mention Huo Jingyan, and during this time, she had been busy with work and had habitually avoided thinking about him.

She was afraid of her own internal friction.

But now that she saw him, her subconscious reaction was to flee.

Some wounds don't truly disappear just because you pretend not to see them.

"Just finished lunch?" Huo Jingyan spoke first, his tone very gentle.

It was just like before the two of them had divorced.

Shu Xia immediately looked at Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan's complexion turned slightly cold and pale, and she managed to force a smile, "Yeah, just finished."

Anyone with eyes could see Jiang Nannan's alienation toward Huo Jingyan.

Huo Jingyan could naturally feel it; his eyes darkened, he nodded, and said nothing more.

Jiang Nannan took Shu Xia's arm and walked toward the roadside.

Shu Xia nodded toward Huo Jingyan and Jiang Tu, and followed Jiang Nannan to the roadside to hail a taxi.

There were many taxis, and they hailed one as soon as they stood on the side of the road.

Not far away, Huo Jingyan watched Jiang Nannan get into the car.

From beginning to end, Jiang Nannan didn't look at him once.

It seemed she completely didn't want to see him.

Jiang Tu rubbed his nose again, gave a look to the few friends beside him, and then everyone got into their respective cars to head home.

Then Jiang Tu spoke to Huo Jingyan, "I heard from a friend at the Civil Affairs Bureau that you and Jiang Nannan divorced. Is it true?"

When he first heard the news, he hadn't dared to ask.

Seeing the state of the two today, had they really divorced?

It seemed Jiang Nannan knew about the existence of that Ye Yaoguang, and therefore couldn't accept it and divorced Huo Jingyan.
