Chapter 1033: Currently Working Hard on Finding a Girlfriend
Ning Shu was well-aware of her place. She was simply a chess piece, one that could be used to deal with Chu Xiaoran. And she was very willing to be this chess piece.
Some of Chu Xiaoran’s actions have already crossed the bottom line of the authorities.
Was manipulating the economy something that a businessman like him had the right to do?
The only thing Ning Shu did other than work at the law firm was to find time to visit the Xu family parents. However, the first thing Mother Xu did every time she saw Ning Shu was to have her attend blind dates.
Mother Xu felt that her son wasn’t young anymore. When all was said and done, he was already over thirty. Most people at this age were already fathers.
Moreover, her son also had a successful career now, so he should be able to marry a woman even better than Xia Xiaoman.
Although Mother Xu never talked about it, she still held a grudge against Xia Xiaoman, especially when she saw that there wasn’t a single girl by her son’s side. There wasn’t even anyone he seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with, so Mother Xu felt like her son was still thinking about Xia Xiaoman.
Ning Shu’s forehead was covered with sweat. Have her marry a girl? Please stop joking. She told Mother Xu that she was currently working hard on finding a girlfriend, that she’d bring the girl home as soon as she found one, then ran like she was fleeing for her life.
Even though she did that, it still couldn’t calm Mother Xu’s enthusiasm. Every few days, she’d tell Ning Shu to come home to take a look at a girl. She was always talking about some beautiful and virtuous woman and having Ning Shu come take a look.
Ning Shu was about to fall apart. These things were better left for Xu Wenlang to deal with.
Ning Shu focused on work. Probably due to Ning Shu’s blunt words last time, Xia Xiaoman didn’t come visit her for a long time. She didn’t even call.
Sometimes Xia Xiaoman would appear at dinner parties as Chu Xiaoran’s female companion, but every time she saw Ning Shu, her expression was always very indifferent. She didn’t talk to Ning Shu and didn’t even greet her. Even if their gazes met, Xia Xiaoman would immediately shift her gaze away.
Tsk tsk. Xia Xiaoman was clearly sulking. Xia Xiaoman thought that by doing this, she would feel uncomfortable and would compromise.
People were always making an unreasonable scene in such self-confident righteousness towards people that loved them and would indulge them.
Chu Xiaoran always emotionally abused Xia Xiaoman because he felt that Xia Xiaoman wouldn’t be able to leave him, and Xia Xiaoman did compromise. Meanwhile, Xia Xiaoman emotionally abused Ning Shu because she believed that Ning Shu had feelings for her and should compromise for her.
Ning Shu found this a bit baffling. Xia Xiaoman wouldn’t be doing this to make her apologize, right?
Ning Shu: →_→
She minded her own business and talked to other people without bothering to even glance at Xia Xiaoman. Xia Xiaoman could just do whatever she wanted. Even if Xia Xiaoman died right in front of Ning Shu, Ning Shu wouldn’t feel anything.
Chu Xiaoran narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Ning Shu, then he pulled Xia Xiaoman over towards Ning Shu. Xia Xiaoman refused to go over there. “I’m not going.”
Chu Xiaoran lifted his brows. This time, he tolerated Xia Xiaoman’s willfulness. It was clear that Xia Xiaoman insistence on avoiding Xu Wenlang pleased him, so he just had Xia Xiaoman wait here for him.
