Chapter 807

"If there is anything, I can pass it on to Qiao for you tomorrow," Zhang Tezhu asked.

Not going to celebrate with friends on her birthday, but instead wasting time waiting for someone in the company's underground parking garage—he really couldn't understand Song Ziqi now.

She didn't know when to advance or retreat.

Nor could she see her own status clearly.

Even if they were siblings, she should know when to be close and when to keep a sense of distance.

With Song Ziqi's intelligence, she should be able to grasp this sense of propriety.

Song Ziqi's expression didn't look very good; she shook her head and said, "No need."

She had specifically turned down invitations from several friends, wanting only to save the time, but as it turned out...

Watching Song Ziqi leave in disappointment, Zhang Tezhu felt somewhat speechless.

He wanted to go up and say something.

But he felt there was no great need.

Some things still required Song Ziqi to think them through herself.

Just as he walked to his car and was about to open the door, he heard Song Ziqi talking to someone on the phone.

Song Ziqi called out "Madam."

Madam?

Who was she calling?

Could it be Hua Qian?

Song Ziqi should know the situation regarding the relationship between Qiao and his biological father and Hua Qian; it was almost no different from that of enemies.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Song Ziqi to be in contact with Hua Qian; no matter how little she understood, she still had a brain.

"I must have misheard," Zhang Tezhu dismissed the thought, got into his car, and drove away.

Shu Xia received a friend request notification.

Recently, there had been some elders adding her through Gu Lao's introduction, and some people wanting to find her to restore antiques, so she didn't think much of it and clicked accept directly.

When she was about to go to sleep after showering, Jiang Ye called.

"Xia Xia, after thinking it over and over, I still have to tell you about this. Chen Xiuyue is in the hospital, and they say she isn't going to make it. They couldn't reach you, so they came to find me. Do you want to go take a look?"

Shu Xia was silent, then said, "Which hospital?"

A few minutes later, Shu Xia changed her clothes and went downstairs.

She happened to run into Qiao Muting, who had just returned.

"Going out?"

Shu Xia glanced at Qiao Muting, who was wearing casual sportswear; he usually dressed like this when he went to exercise. "Yes, I'm going to the hospital."

Qiao Muting followed Shu Xia toward the door. "Are you not feeling well? I'll go get the car."

"It's not me, it's Chen Xiuyue in the hospital. I just called to confirm; she probably won't make it through tonight." Shu Xia had long since lost any mother-daughter feelings for Chen Xiuyue.

Out of consideration for the fact that Chen Xiuyue gave birth to her, she could go take one last look at the final moment of Chen Xiuyue's life.

Qiao Muting nodded and also walked over to change his shoes. "I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Shu Xia paused as she reached for her bag, looked up at Qiao Muting, and said, "Lin Bin and Lin Xu are also at the hospital. They are no different from thugs and hooligans now. You should wait for me at home; you'll just be in a bad mood if you go."

Their gazes met.

Shu Xia quickly looked away, and after finishing her sentence, she went to open the door to leave.

But her hand was grabbed by Qiao Muting.

"I'm going with you." Qiao Muting's attitude was firm, staring intently at Shu Xia.

He suspected she was avoiding him.

Or even that she didn't like him participating in her life.

Shu Xia looked at him helplessly. "Fine, let's go."

On the way, they drove the car Shu Xia had just bought.

Qiao Muting was driving.

After driving for a while, Qiao Muting asked her, "Why did you suddenly buy a car? Are there none you like among the cars at home?"
