"Okay, go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll make an appointment with you another day, but you can't refuse to see me like last time. If there's any misunderstanding, let's sit down and talk it out. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine."

Qiao Nansheng didn't say anything, just nodded and turned to leave.

After getting in the car, she tossed the flowers and gifts aside without even touching them.

She had originally planned to ignore Tang Xuerou and cut off all ties with her, but just as she was about to get on the bus, she suddenly remembered that Tang Xuerou was a supporting character in this book, a female supporting character, and a very important one. Just like in the (domineering CEO) novel, every time she appeared, it was to help advance the plot.

If he breaks off his relationship with Tang Xuerou now, he won't have the face to ask her for help in the future if he needs her.

After all, she broke up with him so decisively and cleanly back then, and then took the initiative to go back to him. It was too embarrassing, and she would never do something like that.

So, just in case, after thinking it over, Qiao Nansheng decided to pretend that Tang Xuerou had misunderstood her because someone had said bad things about her, which caused her to ignore her.

Fortunately, Tang Xuerou was completely focused on why her attitude had changed so drastically, and didn't suspect or overthink it.

…

Upon arriving home, the first thing Qiao Nansheng did after getting out of the car was to throw away the flowers.

The cake was custom-made and cost several hundred yuan; it still had a tag on it. It seemed a shame to throw it away, but since she likes sweets, she reluctantly ate it.

As for the gift, Qiao Nansheng opened it and saw that it was a silver bracelet with the price listed on it. He didn't know if Tang Xuerou did it on purpose or by coincidence, but it was exactly 38,000 yuan.

Is this an insult calling her a gossip?

Qiao Nansheng raised an eyebrow and tossed the bracelet to Liu Xu.

"It's yours."

With the anklet worth millions and the jade bracelet worth two hundred million given by Zhou Cheng, the bracelet worth thirty-eight thousand had become a low-quality item in her eyes.

It's not that she looked down on it, but compared to the two gifts Zhou Cheng gave her, this 38,000 yuan bracelet was nothing at all.

Moreover, it was a gift from Tang Xuerou. Qiao Nansheng didn't want it, but Liu Xu liked these pretty gestures to dress herself up, so she could have it.

Liu Xu was flattered and flattered her with a big smile: "Ah~ thank you, Madam! You are beautiful and kind-hearted, I love you the most!"

Qiao Nansheng thoroughly enjoyed this shower of flattery.

She carried the cake to the sofa and sat down. After quickly opening the cake box, she casually asked, "Where's Zhou Cheng? I haven't seen him."

Liu Xu stared intently at the person who had been looking at her. "I don't know. Xiang Fei came by once this afternoon, and then Brother Cheng left with him. He didn't say when he would be back."

Qiao Nansheng said "oh" and didn't say anything more. She cut the cake and put it on a plate, then invited her and Sheng Zhuo to come and eat.

"There's still watermelon in the fridge. Grandpa Zhou had it delivered this morning. Madam, would you like some watermelon juice? I'll go make some for you!" Liu Xu said excitedly.

Qiao Nansheng glanced at her flushed face, knowing that she wanted to drink it, but didn't expose her. She gave a faint "hmm," and Liu Xu hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen to make watermelon juice.

A few minutes later, she came out with three glasses of watermelon juice.

The three of them sat on the sofa, eating cake and drinking watermelon juice while watching the latest horror movie playing on the LCD screen.

The room was dimly lit, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

So much so that they didn't even know when the living room door behind them was pushed open or when someone came in.

Zhou Cheng walked to the sofa, looked at the three people who were staring intently at the horror movie, and remained silent for a moment before turning to Sheng Zhuo, who was sitting next to him, and saying, "Move over a bit."
