Chapter 616: Chapter 615: Why Is He Here_1 Chapter 616: Chapter 615: Why Is He Here_1 Her mind was in a whirl, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Old Qiao wasn’t sure how he felt. He had a clear understanding of Si Limo; several aristocratic families often interacted with each other, and Si Limo was an excellent one among them. However, Xiaren had just returned to the Qiao family and there seemed to be a trend of her being lured away. How could the old man feel at ease?

“Actually, Si Limo is quite good. He has always been the most handsome since he was young, and has a good character too.” The old man Shangguan began to smile, “Last time when his father and I somehow talked about this issue, mentioning his son had found the one, it shocked me! I didn’t expect it to be you. That guy does have an eye for good things. I asked them why everyone knew about it and only kept us, the old people, in the dark?”

Lu Qian glanced at Qiao Xiaren and laughed, “We are young, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to express our lovey-dovey feelings in front of you all?”

Old man Shangguan gave him a roll of the eyes, “Stop with the nonsense. You three bachelors should hurry up and find girls you like, to save the old ladies from complaining all day about wanting grandchildren!”

“Our Ranran is only 18 years old, she can take her time. As for men, they need to be examined in depth. But these three boys really should start considering this.” Grandmother Qiao seemed to remember something. “Recently, wasn’t there an artist who jumped off a building? Was he from Limo’s company?”

“No,” Qiao Xiaren raised her eyebrows, “He was from another company, but one of the girls involved in this scandalous photo incident is a member at SGS. The artist who jumped off the building was a member I trained with before joining the company, so I sent flowers with a friend in the morning.”

Grandmother Qiao sighed, “Nowadays, people’s hearts are becoming darker in pursuit of benefits. So many young girls, and they were unjustly harmed.”

“It is a matter of mutual consent, if they are not willing, the broker can’t force them no matter what. In the end, they still couldn’t resist the temptation.” Shangguan Ye knew very well about all the twists and turns, and sneered dismissively.

His words were reasonable. Qiao Xiaren looked at Shangguan Ye and couldn’t understand why his mind seemed blocked when it came to matters concerning Nie Yitong and Shi Ruo?

Qiao Xiaren was thinking about how to mention this matter subtly. If the two of them continue like this, things are bound to fall apart sooner or later.

At the dinner table, several people had some drinks.

Since Pei Ningxuan was driving herself, Gu Ming did not have to worry. He called the chauffeur from the Qiao family to send Lu Qian back. Qiao Xiaren planned to talk to Shangguan Ye on the road.

The weather wasn’t good, so the car was slow on the road.

Shangguan Ye was a bit drunk, resting his hand on his forehead, his face slightly flushed. Perhaps his mind was not so clear, he started to talk intermittently to Qiao Xiaren about Shi Ruo.

Halfway through the drive, Shangguan Ye seemed to remember something, sat up from his seat and said, “Xiaren, can you go to SGS and pick up Shi Ruo for me?”

“Okay.” Qiao Xiaren thought it was on the way, although she wasn’t sure if Shi Ruo was in the company, she was also clueless about whether he could understand her words while he was drunk.

They soon reached the company’s entrance, and coincidentally, Shi Ruo had just returned from an announcement meeting and was going home.

Seeing Qiao Xiaren, Shi Ruo smiled, but her mood changed when she saw Shangguan Ye poking his head out of the window.

“Why is he here?”

“I’m giving him a ride home. Do you want to talk to him? This matter between you two has been going on for more than a year. Why not sit down and sort it out?” Qiao Xiaren’s tone was very relaxed, which also involuntarily relaxed Shi Ruo’s tension.
