CHAPTER 1375: CHAPTER 1375: JIANG FAMILY’S APOLOGY (7)

He paused for a moment here and then said, "I just hope you can restrain his behavior a bit in the future."

At this point, without having to say it, everyone could guess who the call was from. Qin Qiong, who was originally trying to please Old Master Shu, immediately tensed up upon hearing Shu Wen’s words, and instinctively straightened his back, slightly tilting his ear towards the phone, all while his eyes inadvertently glanced over.

Shu Wen hadn’t hung up the call yet, but as the other speaker continued, her expression changed. She even glanced at Qin Qiong, scaring Qin Qiong so much that his hairs stood on end. He quickly retracted his gaze, pretending to be engrossed in his conversation with Old Master Shu.

Upon seeing his reaction, Shu Wen had already made up her mind. She said a few more sentences to the person on the line before hanging up.

Throughout this process, Qin Qiong kept his back to her, not daring to glance in her direction. As Shu Wen’s footsteps approached, his body grew increasingly rigid, resembling a stone statue.

"Meow!"

Ruan Jiaojiao had finished her goat milk and, seeing this scene, excitedly pushed aside the little milk bottle blocking her view. She climbed out of the arms of the Ruanlin Family, toddled after Shu Wen to the end of the sofa, and perched on the armrest, her eyes wide with curiosity, not hiding her nosy nature in the slightest.

"Qin Qiong, I’ll ask you one more time. What exactly is the mosquito bite on your face about? Think carefully before you answer; I don’t like being lied to."

"I... I..." Qin Qiong stammered, his eyes evasive, instinctively glancing towards Ruan Jianguo and Shu Lang. But both were clueless, looking at him in confusion.

"Don’t look at others, answer me." Shu Wen.

Shu Wen’s expression was severe, her voice even sterner.

Not only Qin Qiong, but even Ruan Jiaojiao was taken aback. Shu Wen had always left an impression of being enthusiastic and vibrant, never seen in such a stern light.

She truly appeared intimidating.

Even Ruan Jiaojiao stopped her nosiness, inching backward with her little rear until she settled into Xiu Xi’s arms, feeling safe before continuing to watch.

Qin Qiong, seeing Shu Wen like this, knew she was genuinely angry.

His heart was both bitter and sour.

He parted his lips, lifted his head to look at her, his gaze complex and unclear: "Was that call just now from the Jiang Family?"

Shu Wen did not answer.

Qin Qiong lowered his head, with a bitter smile: "I don’t know what they said to you, but if I tell you I did nothing, would you... believe me?"

Shu Wen remained silent.

After a long while, she spoke ambiguously, "Qin Qiong, I always thought you were very mature."

Qin Qiong’s expression changed instantly, lifting his head to look at her: "What? Feeling sorry?"

"..." Shu Wen’s face grew even more unsightly, her gaze increasingly cold, tinged with disappointment.

Qin Qiong felt a pang in his heart, realizing what he’d said, and immediately stepped forward to grab her hand, apologizing: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I’m just... jealous, insanely jealous of him."

Qin Qiong was never a generous person; he met Shu Wen several years after Jiang Bin did. When he met Shu Wen, she was already deeply hurt by Jiang Bin.

Back then, Jiang Bin hid his views against marriage while dating her.

After breaking up, he continued to pester her.
