Chapter 1013: Must Resign

When Ning Shu heard what this firm’s boss said, she knew that this was Chu Xiaoran’s doing. He was using his influence to oppress her.
Did Xia Xiaoman do something to make Chu Xiaoran angry again? He was already attacking her?
Whenever Xia Xiaoman did something to make Chu Xiaoran angry, Chu Xiaoran would do something to hurt Xia Xiaoman to force her to comply with his demands, and Xu Wenlang was one of the soft spots which Chu Xiaoran threatened Xia Xiaoman with. Furthermore, Chu Xiaoran disliked Xu Wenlang because Xu Wenlang had a past with Xia Xiaoman.
Chu Xiaoran treated Xia Xiaoman like she was his pet. This pet must be devoted to him and wasn’t allowed to have her own thoughts. He’d make use of Xia Xiaoman’s weaknesses and use cruel methods to force her to comply to his will and crush all the little thoughts she harbored.
“Wenlang, go write a resignation letter yourself, this way it counts as you taking the initiative to resign. Being dismissed isn’t good for your reputation, especially in this business. I’ve let you down, but in this line of business, there’s always a need to compromise sometimes,” said the boss in a helpless tone.
Ning Shu said with a smile, “Thank you. I’ll go write it now.”
Ning Shu knew that the boss also had no choice. This firm wasn’t very large, so someone like Chu Xiaoran could easily make this firm disappear with a wave of his hand.
Xia Xiaoman’s life was pitiful, but Xu Wenlang’s life was even more pitiful. Not only had his fiancée been snatched away, he even became the cannon fodder in the love between the two.
Xu Wenlang would be occasionally pulled out to be paraded around a little. Xia Xiaoman would purposefully anger Chu Xiaoran by saying: the one in my heart is Big Brother Wenlang! Even if you obtain my body, you can’t obtain my heart! I won’t submit to you!
And when Chu Xiaoran was angry, he’d also say: Are you still thinking about Xu Wenlang? No matter how Xia Xiaoman explained, he would feel that his woman was still thinking about her ex-boyfriend and he’d be like: since I can’t obtain your heart, I’ll just tyrannize your body. He’d then start a bodily communication exercise wherever, whenever.
Ning Shu wrote a resignation letter and the boss approved it. He even gave Ning Shu a red packet, then patted her shoulder. “Be careful, look after yourself.”
Ning Shu nodded, then left the firm. She inwardly laughed coldly. She’ll remember this.
It was seriously a godly level of irritance to encounter people like Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman.
Perhaps the two had feelings for each other, but they both used very extreme ways to probe each other and even pulled innocent people in. With Chu Xiaoran’s despotic personality and his extensive influence, it was enough to practically make Xu Wenlang see ghosts in broad daylight.
Ning Shu then went to apply for a visa in preparation to head to England. That country was widely known to be quite strict, so it was a good choice for advanced studies. The only thing left was to choose a school. Not every school wanted Ning Shu.
“Wenlang, can I come in?” Mother Xu’s voice came from outside. Ning Shu said for her to enter and Mother Xu came in with a cup of milk for Ning Shu. She sat down next to Ning Shu and said, “Wenlang, after you and Xiaoman broke up, you started steadily planning to go overseas. I haven’t seen you sad at all. Don’t keep things bottled up, alright?”
How could feelings that have been there for over ten years be that easy to give up? That was why Xu Wenlang had persisted in saving Xia Xiaoman from this predicament with no idea that Xia Xiaoman had already fallen in love with Chu Xiaoran.
“After I found out that there would be no future for Xia Xiaoman and me, I wasn’t that sad. There’s just a sense of pity, I guess. I’ve gotten so used to that person being by my side all these past years, and now she’s no longer here,” said Ning Shu mildly. “Xia Xiaoman actually doesn’t have feelings for me. The only reason she had agreed to marry me was also because she was used to being with me.”
She had simply been used to that person being there. That was why Xia Xiaoman later said that her heart didn’t flutter when she was with Xu Wenlang.
Mother Xu just sighed. “Go overseas and relax a little. Don’t keep things bottled up inside, alright?”
Ning Shu nodded.
