Slender and fair fingers glided up and down, repeatedly looking at the few photos in the MMS, seemingly unable to snap out of it for quite a while.
It was those few candid shots that looked more complicated than just Lu Jingchen being seen with another woman.
Moreover, she looked carefully at those photos, the woman with Lu Jingchen was someone she had met before, encountered alongside Lu Jingchen outside, seemingly the best friend of Murong Rui, called Li Man...
Actually, ever since she first met Li Man, Song Qiao had already sensed Li Man’s feelings for Lu Jingchen had died; it wasn’t because her intuition as a woman was too sensitive, but because Li Man had been too obvious, her gaze not attempting to hide at all, staring straight at Lu Jingchen then.
Now thinking about it, Song Qiao started to doubt that Lu Jingchen couldn’t have been unaware of Li Man’s feelings for him at that time...
The photos, whether it was due to an excellent shooting angle or other factors, or maybe the two people pictured were just like that...
In the photos, regardless of which one, it was clear to see Lu Jingchen and Li Man appearing very affectionate, with even one photo looking like Lu Jingchen was kissing Li Man...
Song Qiao sat on the bed, staring blankly at her phone, without any reaction for a good long while, not knowing what she was truly thinking.
It wasn’t until a good while later, the phone in her hand rang once more—Song Qiao glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Chu Munan’s call.
Frowning slightly, yet she still swiped to answer and put it to her ear, "Hello!"
Chu Munan, who was also at the event at that moment, held a glass of red wine in his hand, swirling the wine continuously, his gaze landing on a man and a woman not far away. Hearing Song Qiao’s voice, he momentarily came back to his senses, his gaze returning to the red wine glass in his hand, speaking up directly, "Song Qiao, where are you right now?"
"At home, about to sleep, is there something you need?" Song Qiao’s mood wasn’t elevated, her tone somewhat lukewarm, she spoke indifferently, "Why are you calling me this late?"
In fact, she was nearly asleep, only to be woken up by a phone call and that MMS.
A feeling of inexplicable irritation brewed inside her, but still, she suppressed the slowly spreading annoyance and listened patiently on the call.
Chu Munan glanced at Lu Jingchen and Li Man not far away, the coldness in his eyes apparent. He originally wanted to tell Song Qiao straight away, but after careful thought, he changed his words, "Nothing, just called to see if you were asleep yet, since that’s the case, I’ll hang up first, continue your sleep."
In fact, he really wanted to tell Song Qiao straightforwardly that Lu Jingchen had brought another woman to attend the mayor’s banquet, but considering that Song Qiao was pregnant now, and pregnant women can’t handle stress, he promptly suppressed his own impulse.
However, Chu Munan’s gaze towards Lu Jingchen was already cold enough now.
As for the significance of the mayor’s banquet, everyone present undoubtedly understood, not to mention Lu Jingchen himself.
Those attending the banquet were either CEOs of major corporations or individuals of status and position, and whether male or female, the person they brought to join the gathering was their most important one; if married, surely they would bring their spouse.
As for the unmarried ones like Chu Munan himself, they might bring an assistant, a girlfriend, or attend alone. Official source ıs 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
And Chu Munan belonged to the latter category; all along his history had only a scandal emerging years ago, he really hadn’t been involved in any scandals with any women, and regardless of the size of the banquets he attended, it was always solo or with his direct assistant.
Song Qiao was initially taken aback by Chu Munan’s words; on her end of the phone, she could hear the noise and music from Chu Munan’s side, and having attended countless banquets herself, she guessed right away that Chu Munan was certainly at a banquet too, but she didn’t say anything further, only hummed in response and then directly said, "Then I’ll hang up first, if you are outside, go back to rest early, drinking too much isn’t good for your health."
