"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan leaned back into his arms. "Even if you were involved, it wouldn't change the fact."

"Actually, I had already told Su Jing before this, to keep her distance from you. I wanted to give the Huo family a heads-up that I might not want you to get involved with them."

Qiao Wanwan said softly, "But she was unaware of it before the birthday banquet."

"I can tell that this was all handled by Old Master Huo without informing Su Jing and Huo Shiqian beforehand."

Qiao Wanwan felt a splitting headache. "I don't want to talk about them anymore."

"Okay, let's not talk about them. You didn't eat much for lunch, let's go downstairs and get something to eat."

"Um."

......

With Zhan Jingting's company and comfort, Qiao Wanwan's mood improved considerably.

Su Jing still comes to Wutong Bay every day, but she is always turned away by the bodyguards at the gate and never gets to see Qiao Wanwan.

"Mrs. Huo, please leave. Our lady does not receive guests."

Su Jing's eyes immediately reddened. "Please inform her for me. What if she's willing to see me today?"

The bodyguard was in a difficult position. "Mrs. Huo, please don't make things difficult for us. We dare not disobey Master Zhan's orders. We cannot allow the Huo family to disturb you, Madam."

Su Jing pleaded desperately, "I'm begging you, I really just want to see her once, I absolutely won't disturb her..."

The bodyguard insisted, "Excuse me, please leave."

Having no other choice, Su Jing wiped away her tears and turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly fell forward and crashed to the ground!

"Mrs. Huo!" The bodyguard was shocked and rushed forward to help her up, only to find that she had already fainted!

"what to do?"

"This is of utmost importance, go in and inform the madam immediately!"
