Qiao Qinian turned to look at Jiang Tingyan behind him.

Just as she was about to ask, Jiang Tingyan said to Qiao Manman in a cold voice, "I will give you an explanation for what happened today."

After leaving those words, Jiang Tingyan ignored Qiao Qinian and turned to leave the room.

Qiao Manman doesn't care whether Jiang Tingyan leaves or not. As long as he doesn't explicitly state the matter, she still has room to maneuver.

Faced with an old woman, couldn't her thirty-year-old soul handle it?

However, Qiao Manman was unaware that Jiang Tingyan's words, when heard by Qiao Qinian, meant that Jiang Tingyan was demanding an explanation from Qiao Manman for hitting Jiang Shu.

Qiao Manman rubbed her aching wrist, and heard Qiao Qinian's helpless voice from above.

"It's not a good look to make a scene here, and there are people eavesdropping outside. How about we go home and sit down to talk about it calmly?"

A smart woman knows how to take advantage of a situation, and both Qiao Manman and Jiang Shu agreed with Qiao Qinian's suggestion.

Qiao Manman drove herself there, and as soon as she stepped out of the elevator that led to the basement, she received a call from Qiao Qinian.

She answered the phone and walked in the direction she remembered the car would go: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Qiao Qinian: "Manman, Dad forgot to tell you, there's an auction tonight. Why don't you come with Dad?"

Qiao Manman took off her shoulder bag: "Jiang Shu is going too, right?"

Qiao Qinian glanced at Jiang Shu, who was clinging to his arm and refusing to let go, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Of course, a family should always go out together."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Manman, who was gripping the handlebars, paused slightly.

Why is Jiang Shu so generous as to let her go too?

She remembered that Jiang Shu seemed to have gone there as well, but the original owner spent a lot of the family's money to buy a bunch of useless things in order to spite Jiang Shu.

She arrogantly told Jiang Shu that this was the Qiao family's money, and she could spend it however she wanted.

Jiang Shu was already furious because Qiao Manman had slept with her son, and this incident would only fuel her anger further.

Qiao Manman achieved her goal of angering Jiang Shu, but she overlooked Qiao Qinian's expression.

The feeling of being heartbroken over Qiao Manman didn't happen overnight; it was the result of years of accumulated emotions.

This is why Qiao Qinian was so resolute when he finally severed his relationship with Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman came to her senses. It was an auction, after all; the people who came were all rich and powerful.

Qiao Qinian was a businessman, and he always cared about his image when he was out in public.

She had to put on a show of filial piety for Qiao Qinian!

Qiao Manman opened the car door and got in: "I understand, Dad. I'll go back and get ready."

Jiang Shu, who was leaning on Qiao Qinian's shoulder, also heard the entire conversation between the father and daughter.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and snorted disdainfully in her heart.

Given the original story's development, a low-level idiot like Qiao Manman would definitely squander the Qiao family's money to make her unhappy.

All she has to do is follow the novel and say a few bad things about Qiao Manman to Qiao Qinian, and Qiao Qinian will cut off Qiao Manman's allowance for three months.

Then she'll take the living expenses Qiao Qinian gave her and show off in front of Qiao Manman.

Make Qiao Manman beg her to give her living expenses!

The thought of Qiao Manman submitting to her and begging for her made Jiang Shu burst out laughing.

Qiao Qinian, who was talking to the driver, was slightly taken aback when he heard Jiang Shu's sudden laughter.

He turned his head and asked Jiang Shu in a puzzled tone, "Shushu, what are you laughing at?"

Jiang Shu's smile froze instantly. She suppressed her panic and slowly sat up to look at Qiao Qinian.

"Honey, did you hear me laughing so softly?"

Jiang Shu asked in an elegant tone, while slowly moving closer to the handsome, hormone-fueled Qiao Qinian.

She couldn't help but stroke his strong arm with her other hand.

She cast a seductive glance at Qiao Qinian's handsome face and offered her explanation in a soft, fragrant voice.

"I'm just recalling the image of you and me lying in the same bed."

Jiang Shu gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if savoring it: "Just thinking about my husband displaying his virility makes my heart race!"

Seeing Jiang Shu's infatuated expression, Qiao Qinian's face inexplicably stiffened, and his lower back ached.

He felt that Jiang Shu seemed to have changed quite a bit in the past two days.

Jiang Shu was a decisive and capable businesswoman in public, but a gentle and intellectual woman by his side.

But after she returned from the Maldives, she seemed to have been possessed.

Not only is she outgoing, but she even wants to do some exercise with him every night.

Having an outgoing personality is a good thing.

He could sense that he was willing but unable to do so these past two days.

Thinking of the image of himself supporting his lower back, Qiao Qi felt a chill run down his spine after the New Year and quickly reached out his hands to pry open Jiang Shu's eyes.

"Shushu! Listen to me!"

Jiang Shu's fantasy was abruptly interrupted, and she stared at him in astonishment.

"Husband...?"

Qiao Qinian forced a smile: "There's an auction tonight, and I have an ocean video conference later. Shushu, I can't sleep with you tonight."

"It's okay, honey!"

Jiang Shu pulled away Qiao Qinian's hands, hooked her arms around his neck, and quickly leaned in, shouting with shining eyes.

"If tonight won't work, then now!"

Upon hearing Jiang Shu's words, the driver silently raised the partition inside the car.

He had already gotten used to those four words, which were clearly visible in his eyes and brows.

-

Qiao Manman got out of the car and stepped on a card.

She caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and instinctively looked down.

Seeing the card featuring a muscular man with half his body exposed, he bent down and picked it up.

"I'll solve the loneliness of this young woman..."

Qiao Manman held the card and glanced at the surrounding villas.

This is a high-end villa community; it's impossible to come and go as you please. How did someone manage to leave their card here?

Qiao Manman held the card in confusion and looked at it a couple more times. She wasn't very interested and was about to throw it away when Xiao Jiangshu's image suddenly appeared in her mind.

Xiao Jiangshu's bedside table drawer is filled with countless photos of muscular men!

So what if she has it? It's perfectly normal for her, as a fellow single woman in her late twenties, to feast her eyes.

But why is their photo together buried at the very bottom under the muscular man's picture?!

Thinking about this, Qiao Manman couldn't help but clench her fists!

After a brief moment of anger, Qiao Manman lowered her hand, her eyes filled with loneliness.

Now that she's gone, shouldn't this guy bring out their photos together?

Just then, a Mercedes-Benz suddenly turned onto the right side of the road and stopped in front of her house.

Qiao Manman squinted, trying to see the person inside through the windshield, when the person got out of the driver's seat.

When Qiao Manman saw Jiang Tingyan appear behind the car door, her eyes widened in surprise.

"What are you doing here!?"
