Chapter 1063: Was it Worth It?

Chapter 1063: Was it Worth It?

“Did you need something?” asked Ning Shu. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. For Xia Xiaoman to come here so abruptly, it was definitely because she needed something.
Xia Xiaoman’s face was a little red, causing her entire face to flush a strange dark red and making her sunburn spots more conspicuous.
“I...” Xia Xiaoman squeezed her shirt like she was finding it hard to speak.
Ning Shu didn’t rush her and had the secretary bring two cups of water. Xia Xiaoman wiped her hands on her shirt, then picked up the cup and drank all of the water.
Ning Shu had the secretary pour more water, but Xia Xiaoman hastily waved her hands to stop her. “Thanks, Big Brother Wenlang. I’m not thirsty anymore.”
“Big Brother Wenlang, I...” Xia Xiaoman opened her mouth, but in the end, still didn’t say anything.
Xia Xiaoman really couldn’t bring herself to say it. In reality, Chu Xiaoran was the one that had forced her to come here.
It was hard to imagine that it was actually Chu Xiaoran that made her to come here. In the past, Chu Xiaoran would be infuriated whenever she mentioned Xu Wenlang’s name, but now he was having her go look for Xu Wenlang because Xu Wenlang had money.
Chu Xiaoran often saw Ning Shu on TV. Ning Shu was already T City’s ambassador, and a public welfare advertisement about her was often broadcasted on TV.
Chu Xiaoran loathed Ning Shu. His eyes became bloodshot when he saw how well-off his enemy was doing, so he came up with an idea, which was to have Xia Xiaoman go ask Ning Shu for money.
As of now, Chu Xiaoran didn’t mind his woman going to find Xu Wenlang at all since he didn’t have any money to gamble with anymore. The fact that he had been able to tell Xia Xiaoman to sell herself showed that he only thought of Xia Xiaoman as a money-making tool now.
Even if Xia Xiaoman really slept with Xu Wenlang and got money from Xu Wenlang, that just meant that he had information on Xu Wenlang and would be able to get more money from Xu Wenlang in the future.
Due to Chu Xiaoran’s physical threats, Xia Xiaoman had no choice but to come look for Ning Shu.
However, as she faced the person who had almost become her lifelong partner, all she felt was embarrassment. She hadn’t wanted to appear in front of Big Brother Wenlang in such a wretched manner.
“Big Brother Wenlang, I’ll leave first...” Xia Xiaoman abruptly got up, then hastily left.
Ning Shu lifted her brows. Xia Xiaoman had clearly come here for something, but she left before even saying what it was.
The person that had been keeping an eye on Chu Xiaoran said that Chu Xiaoran had sent Xia Xiaoman here to get money from her.
Ning Shu was speechless. The current Chu Xiaoran really was disgusting. However, he had always been this despicable, otherwise he wouldn’t have done something like snatching another person’s woman in the first place.
Xia Xiaoman had headed back with her hands empty, so she’d naturally have to face Chu Xiaoran’s rage. Chu Xiaoran had been hoping for Xia Xiaoman to bring back two piles of money, but she hadn’t even gotten a single coin.
When Xia Xiaoman said that there was no way she could ask Big Brother Wenlang for money, Chu Xiaoran completely exploded. He grabbed Xia Xiaoman’s hair and started slamming her head against the wall like he wanted to kill her.
Xia Xiaoman’s face was soon covered with blood and she passed out. Chu Xiaoran immediately started panicking.
He hastily brought Xia Xiaoman to the hospital. Xia Xiaoman was reliant on Chu Xiaoran, but Chu Xiaoran was just as reliant on Xia Xiaoman. He wouldn’t be able to survive without Xia Xiaoman. He wouldn’t have food or money to gamble with.
At the hospital, the doctor said that Xia Xiaoman had a cerebral concussion, but the hospital fee wasn’t cheap. Chu Xiaoran dug around at home and finally gathered enough money. After paying the hospital fee once, he completely ran out of money, so he just brought Xia Xiaoman home.
This time, Xia Xiaoman paid no attention to him. Big Brother Wenlang’s one question ‘Was this worth it?’ kept echoing in her mind.
She didn’t know if it was worth it.
