Chapter 153: Who is the Outsider

Nan Jiaojiao received the call while she was at the Bo Family’s dining table.

It was Saturday, and she had come as usual to give Bo Qingshan acupuncture, and was asked to stay for lunch.

Conveniently, Bo Yanching was at home.

Unfortunately, Kang Xiangyue was also present.

Nan Jiaojiao leaned close to Bo Qingshan’s ear, teasing with a smile, “Did grandma go hide in the backyard to play with Xiao Ba again?”

Bo Qingshan shared a knowing look with her, but decided to be mischievous, “Sister Jiaojiao, Xiao Ba has been talking about you a lot recently.”

“Tell it thank you for me, may we never meet in this lifetime.”

Who would want to be remembered by a bird every day.

Especially a parrot that had been plucked of feathers and robbed of food by her, and could mimic human speech.

Just as she sat back down, Shen Shichu’s call came in.

“Jiaojiao, I’ll take you to see the wedding house tonight.

My mother thinks you should leave for the wedding from there, and I’ll come pick you up directly tomorrow.”

Nan Jiaojiao arched her delicate eyebrows, “It seems you didn’t take my words to heart.”

Shen Shichu brushed it off, “Hasn’t the wedding date not changed?

I am all for you, and the bride tomorrow will only be you.”

Is that so.

Half a month without contact, he spread some rumors on his side to maintain the facade of their love, but he hadn’t discussed any wedding procedures with her and there wasn’t even a single wedding photo.

What kind of marriage is that.

“Shen Shichu, you still have one day to change your mind.”

Nan Jiaojiao took the soup scooped by the servant, and from the corner of her eye saw Bo Yanching look up, his black deep eyes staring at her for a moment.

“What are you talking about, where are you?

I’ll come pick you up right now.”

He just mentioned evening, but changed his tune the moment she threatened him.

“It’s not convenient, I have plans to eat with Zhenzhen tonight.”

“Then contact me after dinner, I have to see you today.”

Shen Shichu’s voice grew colder, showing little patience to continue the conversation with her.

Nan Jiaojiao simply hung up the phone.

If nothing unexpected happened, Shen Shichu would negotiate with her tonight.

Whether there’s a wedding tomorrow would depend on his decision.

“Sister Jiaojiao, who was that?” Bo Qingshan moved closer and asked.

Nan Jiaojiao picked vegetables calmly, “Haven’t you heard a famous saying?”

“What what?”

“People shouldn’t eat too much, and children shouldn’t be too nosy.”

Bo Qingshan, who was all ears, immediately deflated, “Why, are you treating me like an outsider?”

“Qingshan, you really shouldn’t pry into Miss Nan’s affairs.

Even an outsider has that much sense; how come you don’t?” Kang Xiangyue butted in.

Bo Qingshan’s cold gaze shifted towards her, “Who are you calling an outsider?”

Kang Xiangyue tilted her chin towards Nan Jiaojiao, “Well, who else?”

Bo Qingshan laughed, “Aunt Kang comes over under the pretense of visiting my great-grandmother and always happens to stay for meals when my third uncle is home.

Our family is polite, and setting an extra pair of chopsticks for you is no big deal, but you should know your place and not take too much for granted.”

“You!”

Kang Xiangyue was almost unable to remain seated; she looked at Bo Yanching with a wronged expression, “Yanqing, look, Qingshan never used to speak to me like this.”

The implication was, someone had instigated this.

Bo Yanching added a strip of beef to Bo Qingshan’s bowl, “Eat your meal.”

He then exchanged the sweet and sour ribs, that Nan Jiaojiao liked, with the green vegetables in front of her, “Try this, Qingshan specifically instructed to make it for you.”

“Thank you,” Nan Jiaojiao nodded politely.

He had seen to everything, intentionally leaving out Kang Xiangyue, which was a clear sign of protecting Nan Jiaojiao and giving Kang Xiangyue a cold shoulder.

Kang Xiangyue thought of getting up and leaving, but she lacked the courage; she feared that it would be even more embarrassing to return next time, her eyes filled with envy and poison as she glared at Nan Jiaojiao.

That night, she waited under Feisheng Tower for an entire night, personally witnessing Bo Yanching driving off, and after two more days of vigil, she finally caught sight of Nan Jiaojiao.
