Chapter 2116: Started to Turn a Profit
Things would take time to progress. If Bai Feifei didn’t suffer for a while, then how could she prove her kindness and desire to not harm anyone?
If she didn’t suffer for a period of time and just got together with him without any qualms, then she wouldn’t be a good person.
In any case, after a period of drama, they’d live happily ever after.
Ning Shu couldn’t figure it out. Why couldn’t they have more of a firm stance?
Have some backbone!
She pushed the matter of Tang Yu and Bai Feifei to the back of her mind and was focused on the store.
Now that it was no longer in debt and started to turn a profit, Father Wen came to inspect it personally.
Wen Ermei looked around the store with an expression of disapproval and mocked Ning Shu’s luck.
Ning Shu told Wen Ermei to keep her rude remarks to herself.
Since the store had become profitable, Father Wen no longer planned to withdraw. It had originally lost money, but that had changed with Ning Shu’s management. Even a small profit had value.
Once Father Wen left, Ning Shu gave the employees a bonus and told them that they would stay in business for the time being.
Manager Li was overjoyed. The market wasn’t about to close down while he was in charge. With it now turning a profit, he wouldn’t face ridicule from the other store managers.
The store used to lose money every year, leaving him with no face. Now his enthusiasm was restored.
In addition to taking care of her business, Ning Shu also kept a close eye on the Tang family’s situation: specifically the value of their stocks. The stock price had fallen sharply and had yet to recover.
As shareholders dumped the shares of the Tang family’s business, Tang Yu bought them back to stabilize the stock price.
However, Tang Yu’s image had been tainted which left the Tang family’s partners and investors worried.
To restore his image, Tang Yu came to the conclusion that he must marry Ning Shu.
Due to the Tang family’s instability, Tang Yu believed that only by marrying Ning Shu could he rid himself of the rumors of the relationship he had with his adopted daughter.
Tang Yu was still unwilling to marry Ning Shu, but there was no other way. The Tang family urgently needed a business partner.
Tang Yu concealed the news of his impending marriage from Bai Feifei.
Yet Bai Feifei still found out. The servant who took care of her had heard that Tang Yu was going to marry Ning Shu and told her about it. Now her already tortured heart had yet another knife stabbed through it.
Bai Feifei begged Tang Yu, “Since you are about to get married, you can let me go. Please, let me go.”
But Tang Yu pressed down on top of Bai Feifei and coldly refused. “Dead or alive, you’re mine. Even if you die, your ghost is mine. I will never let you go.”
Bai Feifei was in so much pain. Uncle had never been like that before.
Tang Yu soon held a press conference in which he claimed that the photos were all fake and that someone was attempting to slander him. The relationship between him and his adopted daughter was entirely innocent.
The rumors were just baseless speculation. The person he loved was Wen Hanlei and they would be married soon. He would give Wen Hanlei a grand and romantic wedding ceremony to prove the depth of his love.
When Bai Feifei watched the press conference on TV, tears streamed down her face.
Ning Shu: …
Sheesh, could Tang Yu be any more shameless?
Since when did she want to marry him?
Tang Yu was far too arrogant. He didn’t even tell her he would make such an announcement, he just assumed she would marry him.
As if she was at his beck and call.
He and Bai Feifei were doing their imprisonment play every day but when things got bad, he still wanted to use Ning Shu as a barrier.
