Chapter 1023: Keep In Touch
Chu Xiaoran introduced to Xia Xiaoman to Ning Shu, but was there even a need for introduction? Xu Wenlang and Xia Xiaoman have known each other for over ten years and had interacted way longer than Chu Xiaoran had interacted with Xia Xiaoman.
Chu Xiaoran was simply doing this on purpose.
Ning Shu lifted her brows and extended her hand calmly towards Xia Xiaoman. “h.e.l.lo.”
When Xia Xiaoman saw her Big Brother Wenlang react like this, hurt flashed across her face, but she still extended her hand. However, Chu Xiaoran took the initiative to shake hands with Ning Shu.
Chu Xiaoran’s grip was a bit hard. When he saw that Ning Shu didn’t react to this, he just increased the strength of his grip. Ning Shu smiled faintly as she gripped his hand hard. Chu Xiaoran’s facial color instantly changed and he released Ning Shu’s hand.
There was a baleful, displeased air around him, but he continued to smile darkly. “Lawyer Xu is truly an interesting person. Keep in touch, I like interesting people like you.”
Ning Shu nodded. “I’ll definitely keep in touch.”
Even Xia Xiaoman could sense that the atmosphere between them was off so she pulled Chu Xiaoran away.
The moment Chu Xiaoran turned around, his facial color became extremely bad. His gaze was cold with anger and he said sharply, “Your old lover is back. You must be really happy?”
Xia Xiaoman almost tripped and she looked at Chu Xiaoran disbelievingly. “How can you say that? I don’t think that way at all. Don’t slander me.”
“You keep glancing towards your old lover, but you’re saying that you don’t feel anything? Do you think I’m blind? Are you thinking about getting back together with him?” Chu Xiaoran’s expression was filled with contempt and ridicule.
Xia Xiaoman was hurt by Chu Xiaoran’s expression. Why was Chu Xiaoran always saying such hurtful words without any hesitation?
Ning Shu took a cup of red wine from the table. As she sipped it, she observed Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman. The atmosphere around them had still been very good earlier, but it seemed that they had gotten into a fight again. That bitter expression was back on Xia Xiaoman’s face. It was like she had suffered such a huge grievance, like she was a little wife that had been made angry. Just the sight of her was irksome.
Ning Shu felt that if she was a man, she definitely wouldn’t like a girl who had such a bitter expression on her face all day.
Xia Xiaoman had still been very happy before. At the very least, she had been happy when she was with Xu Wenlang. However, the current Xia Xiaoman no longer felt happy. There was only the pain and helplessness left after being ravaged.
If this was what Xia Xiaoman believed to be love, Ning Shu was sincerely speechless.
After Ning Shu finished the gla.s.s of wine, she turned and left.
During this time, all she did aside from dealing with the affairs of the law firm was take time to go back and visit the Xu family parents.
The law firm was still in a rather idle state. Most of the visitors were here for free consultations.
“Big Brother Wenlang.”
As Ning Shu was looking through doc.u.ments, she heard Xia Xiaoman’s voice. She thought she was imagining things for a moment, but when she looked up, she saw Xia Xiaoman. “How did you find this place?”
Xia Xiaoman smiled, then glanced around. She said happily, “Big Brother Wenlang, congratulations on getting your own law firm!”
Ning Shu nodded, then asked, “Why are you here? How did you find this place?”
“Big Brother Wenlang, you probably don’t know this, but your law firm’s already pretty famous. I only had to ask around a little to find out about where you were.” Xia Xiaoman’s voice was filled with delight like she was happy for Ning Shu.
No one climbs the stairs to a temple for fun. Ning Shu was pretty sure Xia Xiaoman hadn’t come just to say this to her.
Ning Shu poured Xia Xiaoman a gla.s.s of water, then asked mildly, “What did you come for this time?”
When Xia Xiaoman saw that Ning Shu was cold towards her, she looked a little hurt. “Big Brother Wenlang, do you still blame me?”
“No.” Ning Shu didn’t know what Xia Xiaoman meant by this.
