Chapter 1933: What Are You Doing Here?

“Not yet.”

Xu Shu glanced at his watch, “Are you hungry?”

Nan Jiaojiao looked at him cheerfully, squinting slightly, her eyes glittering with a smile, “How about I join you for a meal?”

“Of course, but I have limited time at noon, so I can’t take you out to eat. How about we eat at the cafeteria? The food there is quite good.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, “Okay.”

Inside the hospital room, Song Yuan listened to the entire exchange, her face turning dark.

She had been busy the whole morning, just to try and get closer to Xu Shu.

Even if others suspected she had feelings for Xu Shu, she didn’t care anymore.

There were only a few friends around Bo Yanching; Yaen Chi wasn’t around, Mo Tingshen was with Chu Yao, keeping to himself recently, making it hard to see her even at private gatherings. Now, with her staying in the hospital, the opportunity to become close to Xu Shu was right in front of her, how could Song Yuan pass it up?

But she exaggerated her injuries on purpose, played the poor thing to win favor, yet Xu Shu remained just friendly as a patient to her, while towards Nan Jiaojiao, he seemed like an older brother, even his tone carried intimacy.

“Alright, after all, you’ve been out of touch with this group of people for years, getting close quickly is hard. Take it slow.”

Mrs. Song was quite open-minded; she knew what her daughter was up to and went along with it. Since there was no one else around, and Mr. Song had also stepped out, she sat down and casually picked up an orange to peel.

Song Yuan was not persuaded, “But Xu Shu treats Nan Jiaojiao so well.”

“It’s normal, Xu Shu is doing it out of respect for Bo Yanching.”

This remark hit Song Yuan’s sore spot, and she pursed her lips hard, “I just feel so uncontented!”

“Didn’t I teach you to keep your cool? Why are you in such a rush? It’s still early.”

Mrs. Song broke off a piece of orange and fed it to Song Yuan, who refused to eat it, so she took it back and ate it herself. “Where’s your manager? I’ve been here two days and haven’t seen a shadow of her. How is she taking care of you?”

Sister Lai.

After being publicly scolded by Doctor Chen last night, when Song Yuan calmed down and tried to find Sister Lai, she couldn’t even reach her on the phone.

Mrs. Song immediately sensed something was wrong and asked with a stern face, “What’s going on?”

After hesitating, Song Yuan told her everything. Mrs. Song couldn’t even finish her orange anymore, suddenly standing up, “How could you be so careless! If you can’t manage your own people, others will just think you’re cut from the same cloth. No wonder Xu Shu is so indifferent to you. After last night’s commotion, how could he not have heard about it?”

Song Yuan nervously asked, “Will he say anything to Third Brother Bo?”

Mrs. Song was thoroughly frustrated with this lovesick woman, “Xu Shu won’t, he’s not that kind of person, but you didn’t do your part in handling the aftermath, so this mess will still fall on you!”

As long as it didn’t reach Bo Yanching’s ears, Song Yuan didn’t care, “So what now, the damage is done, what can I do?”

“Of course, you should apologize. The longer you delay, the worse your reputation will become!”

Mrs. Song thought for a moment, “I’ll go personally.”

Song Yuan didn’t call her back; if anyone had to apologize, they should go, it wasn’t her fault. Sister Lai was a person, and why should she clean up after the mess she made.

She didn’t want to ask Mrs. Song how she planned to handle it either. It was making her very irritable. She took out her phone and opened Bo Yanching’s contact. She had looked at it many times but never called, not knowing what to say.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Song Yuan thought Mrs. Song had returned, “The door’s open.”

But the one who pushed the door open was Nan Jiaojiao.

Song Yuan couldn’t keep a friendly face, immediately raising her eyebrows slightly, looking over with a disdainful gaze, “What are you doing here?”
