Chapter 279: Chapter 269: Where on Earth is Qiao Jing?

From Su Manhan’s reaction, he was certain that she was hiding something from him.

Su Manhan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as she touched her ear and realized that an earring was indeed missing!

It must have been lost while she was chasing after Qiao Jing—how could Qipei have found it?

At this point, Su Manhan also knew she couldn’t keep things hidden any longer, swallowed hard, and continued to pretend she couldn’t hear.

“What are you saying? I can’t hear you, I’m playing cards and it’s too noisy here, I can’t hear you.”

Su Manhan didn’t give Zhan Qipei the chance to question her and hung up the call.

...

She didn’t want to face her son because she knew he was very smart, and speaking further would certainly give her away.

But she also worried that Qiao Jing might take this opportunity to tattle to her son, which would definitely lead to another argument with her.

Zhan Qipei silently stared at the disconnected call. If his mother had gone there, then Zhan Nanqing was almost certainly there too.

Zhan Nanqing’s phone rang in the hospital room; she picked it up and froze at the caller ID.

“My brother?!”

This was bad—why was her brother calling her? Could it be that he knew about this?!

But Qiao Jing had just said she was going to the welfare home, and her brother seemed to believe her, so why call her now?

Zhan Nanqing gave Qiao Jing a look pleading for help.

Qiao Jing hadn’t expected Zhan Qipei to call Zhan Nanqing. Her explanation just now had been flawless, everything had fallen into place logically.

So this call might not be related to her, but regardless, she needed to be cautious.

Qiao Jing gestured with her eyes for Zhan Nanqing to not let anything slip and to be safe by putting the call on speakerphone.
