Chapter 1674: Someone Got Stabbed

Nan Jiaojiao sat for a while and then headed back.

Passing by a room, she heard the sounds of an argument inside.

The door suddenly opened, and Nan Jiaojiao stood still, meeting the gaze of the person inside.

“Is it you?”

Shen Shixuan’s eyes were red, perhaps because she saw an old acquaintance, and this person was someone she least wanted to meet; her face flushed red. She had rushed out in a fit of anger but now gripped the door handle, stuck in a dilemma, feeling awkward.

“Why are you here?” Shen Shixuan questioned first.

Nan Jiaojiao retorted back, “I didn’t know the bride would be you.”

Shen Shixuan was taken aback, turned her head with a guilty look, “It must have been Miss Lu who brought you here. I’ve heard you’re doing quite well now.”

Nan Jiaojiao found it amusing.

Where did she hear that?

She has no use anymore, yet the Shen Family still listens for news about her, which is peculiar.

Nan Jiaojiao nodded slightly, considering it a brief greeting. Since they didn’t have much of a relationship to begin with, she intended to leave.

A voice came from the room, as if asking who Shen Shixuan was talking to.

Startled, she closed the door.

“Nan Jiaojiao, wait a moment.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned back, questioning with her eyes.

Shen Shixuan caught up, hesitating as if unable to find the right words, paused before saying, “I haven’t had contact with my brother; he went abroad. He only found out about my engagement with Loo Yao when we were discussing marriage preparations. He’s very upset and doesn’t want to come to my wedding. I’m not particularly concerned whether he attends or not. I… I want to say…”

She clenched her palms, “I wasn’t aware of the things my brother did to you back then, so don’t vent your anger at me.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow, “Vent?”

Shen Shixuan bit her lip hard, “I know you have a good relationship with Miss Lu. My dad’s company went bankrupt because Miss Lu interfered with it; I know she did it for you.”

As she spoke, she glared at Nan Jiaojiao, as if seeking justice for herself.

“Now I’m marrying Loo Yao, the Loo Family is really good, and I cherish them. Later, I won’t cause you any trouble, and please…”

“Rest assured, I won’t mention you to anyone.”

Nan Jiaojiao really couldn’t listen any longer.

Shen Shixuan suddenly looked up, “Really?”

“We haven’t had much of a relationship anyway. You were quite harsh to me back then, but those little tricks of yours never hurt me.”

Shen Shixuan felt embarrassed, “Then you…”

“I have no interest in gossiping, and I’m not here to laugh at you. I only found out the bride was you when I arrived.”

Nan Jiaojiao stood straighter, said blandly, “That’s all I have to say. Take care of yourself.”

She didn’t give Shen Shixuan another chance to speak, turned and walked away.

…

Bo Yanching waited anxiously for Nan Jiaojiao, growing more agitated. He pulled out a chair and dialed a number as he stood up.

It rang but no one answered.

Suddenly, someone rushed in at the door, shouting, “Someone was stabbed in the hallway! There’s a lot of blood!”

Bo Yanching froze for a moment, then strode outside.

The whole table followed, even Mo Tingshen, who had closed his eyes to sober up, came along and caught up with Bo Yanching in a few steps, “What’s your hurry, what kind of person is Jiaojiao, who could harm her?”

Bo Yanching kept his face stern, said nothing, and walked even faster.

He pushed through the crowd, squeezed to the forefront, and saw Nan Jiaojiao, holding a knife, collapsed on the ground, bleeding profusely, clutching the wound on her waist, blood still flowing through her fingers. His presence suddenly turned fierce; he took large strides over, knees hitting the ground, carefully cradled Nan Jiaojiao in his arms.
