Just as Xie Yutong was about to reply, Zhuang Nainai gripped her.
She was in a bad mood and didnât want to humor her before, but Xue Rong was going too far.
Casting a glance at Shi Haoyu and Xue Rong, she said, âLet bygones be bygones. If I were really still hung up over this, I wouldnât have come. On the other hand, you seem to be the one who canât let go, seeing how youâre still picking on it!â
That wave of sarcasm turned Xue Rong red. Gritting her teeth in anger, she took a deep breath to calm herself down so as to not lose her head in front of all their classmates. âWell, am I not just feeling guilty toward you? Zhuang Nainai, you still havenât gotten yourself a boyfriend yet, I guess? How about letting Haoyu introduce someone to you?â
Having said this, she turned toward Shi Haoyu. âHubby, isnât there a new intern in your department? He doesnât have a girlfriend yet, so maybe we can introduce him to Nainai.â
On the sidelines, a girl asked, âHow does he look? How tall is he?â
Xue Rong replied, âHeâs 1.5 meters tall and... about 100 kilograms?â
Xie Yutong was fuming. âDamn, 1.5 meters is a little too short, isnât it? Xue Rong, you have the nerve to introduce any old Tom, Dick, and Harry to Nainai?â
The ladies surrounding them immediately made the same face as Xie Yutong.
Xue Rong smiled and replied, âWell, Nainai is pretty, but Iâm sure yâall donât know this yet. She has a mother at home whoâs mentally ill and requires about 5000 dollars per month for her hospital expenses, and with her condition as such...â
She didnât reveal all, but the people around her suddenly understood.
Xue Rong continued, âItâs actually quite a feat to be able to enter the Imperial Group to be an intern immediately upon graduation. I mean, not everyone can be like my husband, who managed to be a vice director mere months after graduation.â
That satisfied Shi Haoyu greatly, and he straightened his back.
Xue Rong looked toward Zhuang Nainai. âNainai, itâs all about the abilities of a person. Even though he may be a nerdy person, heâs going to be okay with taking care of your mentally deranged mother, and heâll be willing to weather everything with you!â
She made it sound like she was giving heartfelt advice, and yet it was infuriating.
Mentally deranged mother? Zhuang Nainai had always been proud of her mother. How could she let Xue Rong insult her mother like that?
Zhuang Nainai wanted to disfigure Xue Rongâs face so badly. The classmates surrounding her were now shooting her looks of pity. Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and said, âXue Rong, donât try to act nice; I donât need your hypocrisy. I...â
âThatâs right, we donât need your help. Our Nainai here already has a boyfriend!â Before Zhuang Nainai could speak further, Xie Yutong had interrupted her from behind. âWhatâs up with the 5000 dollars a month for Nainaiâs mother? A person who has true financial ability wonât even care for a petty sum like this!â
Wasnât Xue Rong trying to say how Zhuang Nainai was unable to find a good man because of her mother?
Then Xie Yutongâs words were now a blatant slap on Shi Haoyuâs face!
Thinking that Nainaiâs mother was a burden only meant one thing â that he was not capable enough.
Shi Haoyuâs face froze immediately; his expression darkened.
Xue Rong was greatly angered as well. Pointing at Xie Yutong, she said, âThatâs not true!â
Xie Yutong curled her lips. âWhy are you so agitated? You canât bear to see our Nainai dong well? Our Nainai is pretty, good in her studies, has high abilities... whatâs so abnormal about her being able to get a rich second-generation heir as her boyfriend?â
Shi Haoyu couldnât stop himself any longer. âNainai, you must let us know if you run into any difficulties, okay? Weâll surely help you. Donât walk down the wrong path!â
