Chapter 1017: Because of that Demon-Like Man

He relied on his influence and wealth to snatch whatever he wanted.

Ning Shu lifted her brows as she asked, “Chairman Chu, did you still need something?”

Chu Xiaoran said, “I heard that you’ve resigned. Have you considered where to move to?”

Ning Shu felt pretty speechless. His woman just had a miscarriage, so why was he asking about her work instead of worrying about his own woman? Ning Shu had no delusions that Chu Xiaoran actually cared about her.

“I haven’t decided yet. I’ll decide on it later,” said Ning Shu.

Chu Xiaoran said lightly, “I’ve said so before, you can come work under me. Since you’ve resigned, come be my lawyer.”

His attitude was aloof like he was giving out alms, and there was clear malicious intention. Ning Shu could sense that he was just trying to humiliate her and while at it, humiliate Xia Xiaoman as well.

Ning Shu didn’t get angry and just said politely, “Many thanks, Chairman Chu, for your offer. However, I don’t really have plans to work for the time being.”

Chu Xiaoran’s lips hooked. For no reason at all, it gave people a very cruel and demonic feeling, as if he was Satan. However, this smile was also fatally captivating.

Xia Xiaoman had probably ended up submitting because of Chu Xiaoran’s face. With his power and prestige added on, despite his maliciousness, his entire body emitted charm that no woman could resist. Even though they knew that a cliff was ahead and that they’d end up with all their bones crushed, they would still jump down without hesitation like moths to flame.

However, when Ning Shu saw Chu Xiaoran, her heart didn’t stir at all. She didn’t know if it was because her soul had become stronger, that her mentality had become stronger, or because of the effects of the calmness halo and the heart-clearing chant, but she didn’t feel a thing when she saw Chu Xiaoran’s smile.

She couldn’t help but wonder if she had lost the ability to appreciate beauty.

“Is that so? Then once you feel like working again, you can come find me. The card that I gave you last time has the phone number. Lawyer Xu, I sincerely do hope that you’ll join my company,” said Chu Xiaoran. “The salary isn’t a problem. I always welcome capable people.”

Ning Shu just smiled faintly without saying anything.

Chu Xiaoran then left to visit Xia Xiaoman who had just suffered a miscarriage. However, based on Xia Xiaoman’s current mental state, these two would probably have another passionate round of SM.

Ning Shu turned and went to her car to drive home. Mother Xu who was sitting in the front passenger seat said to Ning Shu, “Let’s move away.”

When Mother Xu saw Xia Xiaoman like this, she knew that there really was no hope for her son and Xia Xiaoman. Furthermore, there was no way that the Xu family could accept a daughter-in-law that had been someone else’s mistress and even got a miscarriage during this situation. She had slept with a man even when she was pregnant and ended up even losing the child.

In the past, Mother Xu felt that Xia Xiaoman was a very good and obedient child. She seemed so cheerful and cute, but people evidently couldn’t be judged by their looks. She had ended up doing something like this without any warning.

Ning Shu nodded. It was good that the Xu family parents were willing to move, that way she could finally leave the country to study without worries.

The Xu family sold the house as fast as they could. While they were moving, Ning Shu encountered Xia Xiaoman who had just come back from the hospital in the corridor.

It was summer, but not only was Xia Xiaoman wearing long-sleeves, she even had a thin down-filled garment on her and was wearing a hat. Her face was very pale and her gaze was dim. She didn’t seem to have any energy at all and her entire body was surrounded by an aura of despair and hurt.

Mother Xia was supporting Xia Xiaoman. Mother Xia’s facial muscles were trembling. She was angry with her daughter, felt heartache for her daughter, but also felt very ashamed because of her.

“Big Brother Wenlang, you guys are...” asked Xia Xiaoman. Her voice was very weak. The soft listless sound of it made people annoyed just hearing it.

“We’re about to move away,” said Ning Shu. She said with alienating politeness, “Rest up and recover, you don’t look very well.”

When Xia Xiaoman heard Ning Shu say that they were moving away, hurt and sadness appeared in her eyes. She felt like her entire life was dark right now. She had lost her child and now Big Brother Wenlang was leaving too. All of this was because of that demon-like man.
