Chapter 404 Stockholm Syndrome 14
Chu Xiaoran introduced Xia Xiaoman to Ning Shu. Was an introduction necessary? Xu Wenlang and Xia Xiaoman had known each other for more than ten years, and had spent more time together than the two of them.
Chu Xiaoran did it on purpose.
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows, calmly stretched out her hand and said to Xia Xiaoman, "Hello."
Seeing her brother Wenlang like this, Xia Xiaoman's face flashed with sadness, but she still stretched out her hand to shake hands with Ning Shu, but Chu Xiaoran grabbed Ning Shu's hand first.
Chu Xiaoran held Ning Shu's hand with some force, and seeing that Ning Shu had no expression on her face, he increased the force. Ning Shu smiled indifferently and shook Chu Xiaoran's hand hard. Chu Xiaoran's face changed immediately and he let go of Ning Shu's hand.
Chu Xiaoran's eyebrows were filled with evil and displeasure, but the corners of his mouth were filled with an evil and evil smile, "Lawyer Xu is such an interesting person, let's get to know each other more in the future, I like interesting people like you."
Ning Shu nodded, "I will definitely get to know each other more in the future."
Even Xia Xiaoman felt that the atmosphere between the two was not
right, so she took Chu Xiaoran and left. The moment Chu Xiaoran turned around, his face became extremely ugly, his face turned black, his eyes were cold, with anger and probing, he said to Xia Xiaoman sharply: "Are you happy that your old lover is back?"
Xia Xiaoman staggered twice, looking at Chu Xiaoran in disbelief, "How can you say that, I don't think so at all, don't slander me."
"You keep looking at your old lover, and you say it's nothing, do you think I'm blind, how can you want to rekindle the old love?" Chu Xiaoran's expression was full of contempt and sarcasm.
Xia Xiaoman was hurt by the expression on Chu Xiaoran's face, why did Chu Xiaoran always say such hurtful words unscrupulously.
Ning Shu took a glass of red wine from the table and drank it while looking at Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman. The atmosphere between the two seemed to be quite good before, but now it seems that they are in conflict again. Xia Xiaoman has that bitter expression on her face again, as if she has suffered a lot of injustice, like a bullied young wife, which makes people feel upset.
If Ning Shu thinks that he is a man, he will definitely not like Xia Xiaoman with such a bitter face.
Obviously, Xia Xiaoman was happy before, at least she was happy with Xu Wenlang. Now Xia Xiaoman has no happiness, only pain and helplessness after being destroyed.
If this is what Xia Xiaoman thinks of love, Ning Shu has nothing to say.
Ning Shu finished the red wine and turned away.
During this period, in addition to being busy with the affairs of the law firm, Ning Shu also had to take time to go back to see the two elders of the Xu family.
Now the law firm is in a relatively idle state, and more people come for free consultation.
"Brother Wenlang."
When Ning Shu lowered his head to look at the documents, he heard Xia Xiaoman's voice. He thought it was an auditory hallucination. Ning Shu looked up and saw Xia Xiaoman, and asked, "How did you find this place?"
Xia Xiaoman smiled, looked around, and said to Ning Shu happily, "Brother Wenlang, congratulations on having your own law firm."
Ning Shu hummed and asked, "Why are you here? How did you find this place?"
"Brother Wenlang probably doesn't know that your law firm is already very famous. I found out after a little inquiry." Xia Xiaoman said with a light tone, as if she was happy for Ning Shu again.
There is no such thing as a visit without a reason. Ning Shu didn't think Xia Xiaoman was here to tell him this.
Ning Shu poured a glass of water for Xia Xiaoman and asked lightly, "What's the matter with you coming here this time?"
Xia Xiaoman saw Ning Shu's cold attitude and looked a little hurt, and asked, "Brother Wenlang, are you still blaming me in your heart?"
"No." Ning Shu didn't know what Xia Xiaoman meant now. "Brother Wenlang, I know I have failed you. We should have gotten married, but because of me, Brother Wenlang was sad. Brother Wenlang, I am sorry." Xia Xiaoman's face was filled with guilt and helplessness.
Ning Shu shook her head, "Those are things of the past. I don't take them to heart. You will have your own happiness. We are just passers-by in each other's lives."
Ning Shu was very impatient. What on earth was she trying to say by running over here? Ning Shu felt that Xia Xiaoman was also quite stupid. If Chu Xiaoran knew about it, he would abuse her again when he returned.
Chu Xiaoran's way of punishment was to make people unable to get out of bed.
It seemed that this way of punishment actually made Xia Xiaoman enjoy it.
"What on earth do you want to talk to me about?" Ning Shu asked, pinching her eyebrows. She really didn't want to face Xia Xiaoman's bitter face and guilty look. It was heartbreaking to see her.
Saying sorry at any time does not mean that you really know your mistakes. Xia Xiaoman just habitually says sorry. As for what she thinks in her heart, it is unknown.
"Brother Wenlang..." Xia Xiaoman bit her lips tightly with her teeth, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't. Her face was distorted and unbearable to look at.
Ning Shu wiped her face and didn't look at Xia Xiaoman's face, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Brother Wenlang, please help me." Xia Xiaoman said to Ning Shu as if she was risking her life.
Ning Shu's body was shocked and looked at Xia Xiaoman. Is he here to help her?
"Brother Wenlang, I'm really tired. I want to leave Chu Xiaoran. I'm exhausted physically and mentally." Xia Xiaoman wanted to grab Ning Shu's hand and beg her, but Ning Shu dodged.
"Leave if you want to." Ning Shu said lightly, what's the point of you telling me.
Xia Xiaoman shook her head with a bitter look on her face, "Brother Wenlang, this matter is not that simple. Chu Xiaoran has not only my nude photos but also videos in his hands."
Ning Shu: Puff...
Ning Shu looked surprised and asked, "You are now boyfriend and girlfriend, why doesn't he give these things to you, or destroy them?" Ning Shu
pulled the corner of her mouth and looked at Xia Xiaoman's tired appearance. There were only two words in her mind, she deserved it, she deserved it...
Xia Xiaoman's inaction made Chu Xiaoran feel at ease to bully her. She never thought of resisting. She had a virtue of silently enduring. If I don't bully you, who can I bully? It's simply unbearable not to bully you.
Now she came to her for help again. Ning Shu felt that this girl was coming to pit her again. She
was infinitely tolerant to the male protagonist, but the unlucky ones were always those who were good to her.
She was really abused thousands of times, but she still treated the male protagonist like her first love.
It was so cheap. Ning Shu hated Xia Xiaoman very much in her heart.
"He didn't give me the things." Xia Xiaoman looked at Ning Shu, "Brother Wenlang, I want you to help me fight the lawsuit and get these things back for me."
Ning Shu didn't even raise his eyelids and said lightly, "This lawsuit is not easy to fight. Since you are boyfriend and girlfriend, Chu Xiaoran can be said to be your interest. If you really want to leave Chu Xiaoran, you can just leave."
Why bother with so much trouble.
