Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 2300

Chapter 2300: Shown His True Colors
Ning Shu calmed herself and began cultivating. It wouldn’t do if this weak body ended up hindering her in this task.
Halfway through her cultivation, her phone rang. A look of annoyance flashed in her eyes as she opened them. Her practice wasn’t going well even after trying for some time due to the lack of spiritual energy in the modern era. To make it worse, she was interrupted by a phone call. How infuriating!
Suppressing her irritation, she picked up her phone from the coffee table. It was Wang Ke.
Ning Shu stared at this name. Wasn’t he the one with whom Xue Jing had an affair?
She answered the phone with a “hello”, and she was greeted with a snicker that gave her the creeps.
“What’s the matter?” she asked.
“Haha… It’s the weekend. Come over. I’ll treat you to dinner,” he told her.
Without a moment of hesitation, she rejected him immediately, “I’m busy. I can’t make it.”
“You seemed so desperate before. How could you pretend as if nothing had happened?” Wang Ke chided displeasingly with an ear-piercingly loud voice that made her ears ring through the phone.
“Wang Ke, please mind your attitude,” she warned him coldly.
“What attitude? You’re mine. You don’t want everyone at the company to know about our relationship tomorrow, do you?” he threatened her in a cold voice.
Before the affair, she didn’t realize that he was a person like this at all when they worked in the same office. Now, he had finally shown his true colors.
Women were doomed to be at a disadvantage in situations like this. Society was too harsh on them.
Wang Ke even blackmailed Xue Jing after taking advantage of her for more s*x. If she refused, he would tell the world.
Xue Jing was scared so she let him get away with it for a few times. Because unlike An Xuchen who labeled himself as single in his company, all her colleagues knew that she was married.
Not only was this an affair, but it was an affair with a colleague. What would her colleagues think of her?
Ning Shu had a cold look on her face. Putting up with a jerk like him would only make him unscrupulously want more.
Her eyes whirled as she tried to think of a way to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Just then, Wang Ke urged her again, “Get over here quickly!”
Indifferently, she replied, “I’m not feeling well today. I’ll go tomorrow since I don’t need to work.”
“Excuses!” He fumed. “Are you not afraid that I’ll write an email about this and send it to everyone in the company?”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “I’m still on my period.”
Wang Ke fell silent. “Alright then. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Find a secluded place, alright?” she reminded him.
Seeing how cooperative she was, he told her where and when to meet the next day and threatened her again about showing up tomorrow before hanging up the phone.
She was at a loss for words as she stared at her phone. What kind of world had 2333 chosen for her?
Right after, she put her phone back down onto the coffee table and got up from the couch with both hands on her knees for support. Then, she grabbed a coat and a bag and went out after washing up.
With that, she went to the drug store to buy some herbs such as wormwood and paradiso blue.
She had also bought a lot of groceries. Life still had to go on, so she had to make sure that she ate well in order to have enough energy to work.
There wasn’t a lot of spiritual energy in the modern era, so she had to depend on food to give her strength.
As soon as she returned home, she cleaned the herbs and boiled them together. Then, she collected the vapors from the brew to boil.
Finally, she poured the medicine into a small bottle.
After putting the bottle into her bag, she went on to continue with her cultivation.
She needed to have enough power to protect herself no matter what. Otherwise, she would be a sitting duck.
And everything else was useless if she did not have enough power to fight.
Once again, she set up the spirit gathering array with an incantation. As soon as she sensed a sparse amount of spiritual energy gathering around her, she quickly took it in.
A trace of energy slowly manifested in her dantian. Without realizing how much time had passed, she continued to cultivate until it was daylight by the time she regained consciousness.
It was already the next day.
