Chapter 1012: Rich and Good-looking

After this incident, things became really awkward between the Xu and Xia families. Even when they encountered each other outside, they didn’t talk.
The two families used to be very close and would notify each other about any event that came up. The Xu family would occasionally go over to the Xia family house to eat and the Xia family would occasionally come eat with the Xu family. However, now they didn’t even talk.
In the end, Xia Xiaoman’s mother grabbed Mother Xu and embarrassed said, “Wenlang’s mom, could you please keep what happened with Xiaoman secret? She only did it because she had no choice.”
Mother Xu said, “We aren’t the type to spread this kind of thing. It’s just that your family’s Xiaoman... Who would’ve ever thought she was the kind to do something like this?”
Xia Xiaoman’s mother’s face twitched, then she said helplessly, “She also has her troubles. That bastard has naked photos of her and even threatened her with them. Xiaoman hadn’t done this of her own accord. She had also been doing this for the sake of our families’ reputations. She was silently enduring all this pain. I know that Xiaoman’s not worthy of your family’s Wenlang anymore, but please don’t tell others about this.”
Mother Xu frowned. “Why didn’t she tell us about such a huge incident and decide on things on her own? That man committed a crime, yet she just agreed to it?”
Mother Xu’s facial muscles twitched. Finally, she said, “Don’t worry, I won’t spread this.”
Right now, Mother Xu just wanted for her family to hurry and move so they could get away from this place.
When Mother Xu got back, she told Father Xu about this incident. Father Xu directly said, “Isn’t it just because she saw that that man was rich and was also good-looking? If it had been an old man, that girl probably would’ve rather died than agree. There’s no way she’d just accept it like this.”
Mother Xu: ...
This was what Ning Shu heard the moment she stepped out of her room. Perhaps Xia Xiaoman really was half-willing, but she still insisted on making a show of resistance like she was being forced in order to conceal some of the thoughts in her heart.
When Father Xu saw Ning Shu step out, he changed the topic. “There are already buyers coming to look at this house. When do you plan to go overseas?”
“Once we finish buying the new house and you two are settled in.” Ning Shu had to first settle the Xu family parents down properly before she could go overseas without worries. She couldn’t guarantee that Chu Xiaoran wouldn’t try to do anything to the Xu family parents.
Not only did he steal someone else’s girlfriend, he even killed off that person. Chu Xiaoran was pretty much the most aggressive male lead Ning Shu has seen to date. He seemed so self-confident and in the right. His attitude was clearly because he felt that Xu Wenlang was weak.
“Alright.” Father Xu nodded. “Taking some time to relax outside the country is also good.”
Ning Shu headed to the firm to resign. The firm’s boss treated Xu Wenlang quite well. The reason Xu Wenlang had been able to struggle to where he was today and become a gold medal lawyer wasn’t only because of his own abilities, but also because the boss treated him well.
Before Ning Shu even said anything, she saw that the boss was looking at her with a complicated expression. “Wenlang, did you offend someone you shouldn’t have lately?”
Ning Shu’s eyes narrowed. “I didn’t. Chief Gu, did something happen?”
“Oh, then why are you looking for me?” asked the boss.
Ning Shu said, “I’m here to resign. I plan to go overseas and study for a while.”
“Alright, I agree. However, even if you didn’t resign, I might still have to dismiss you. The people above are pressuring me. Haaa, so it’s good that you’re going overseas,” said the boss.
