Chapter 1009: As Close As Family

Ning Shu listened as Xia Xiaoman painstakingly warned her with an extremely concerned expression.

However, Ning Shu didnt feel touched in the slightest. The entire situation had become like this because of Xia Xiaomans doings. If she had been willing to discuss things with someone, she wouldnt have ended up dragging everyone down like this.

Even now, Xia Xiaoman had no plans to confess. She kept saying that she didnt want to hurt Xu Wenlang, but her actions were what hurt Xu Wenlang the most.

She kept acting like she had some great pain. Ning Shu seriously couldnt feel Xia Xiaomans concern for Xu Wenlang at all.

Ill remember what you said. Ning Shu looked at Xia Xiaoman. You should also fend for yourself.

When Xia Xiaoman heard what Ning Shu said, she thought that she knew about things and her eyes widened as she stammered, Big Brother Wenlang, do you know something?

What do you think I should know? replied Ning Shu. Weve been together for over ten years, since we were children and into adulthood. In your heart, what kind of existence am I?

Someone as close to me as family, said Xia Xiaoman without hesitation. Id give up everything to protect you just as I would protect my family.

Family!?

This was pretty much the same as saying I think of you as an older brother.

This meant that Xia Xiaoman had already subconsciously kicked Xu Wenlang out of the love circle. She could care about him as a friend, as family, but it wouldnt be love.

Ning Shu smiled. Ill tell my parents that weve broken up.

Big Brother Wenlang. Xia Xiaomans lips trembled. As long as youre happy.

As long as the people she cared about could be happy, Xia Xiaoman felt that everything she had to endure was worth it.

The two stopped speaking. Xia Xiaoman walked in front and walked to the Xia home while Ning Shu entered the opposite Xu home.

Xia Xiaoman turned around to look at Ning Shus back. She had never found it as unfamiliar as she found it now. She pressed her lips together. It was fine as long as he was happy.

Xia Xiaoman felt a lot of guilt towards Xu Wenlang. She had let Xu Wenlang down. She had let down this man who she had grown up with, who had always protected her, who had always stood in front of her no matter what she faced.

Chu Xiaorans image appeared in Xia Xiaomans brain. He carried an overpowering destructive aura that had destroyed her everything. He had made her fall straight into h.e.l.l.

That thick stack of naked photos had been the means with which he had dragged her into h.e.l.l. She hated Chu Xiaoran. Why had it been her? Why did Chu Xiaoran choose her?

Why did that emperor-like man end up choosing an ordinary girl like her?

Ning Shu walked into the house, then said to the Xu family parents, Mom, Dad, Xia Xiaoman and I broke up. We wont be getting married.

The Xu family parents were so stunned that they were frozen for a while. Mother Xu was the first to snap out of it and ask, What happened? Why did you guys break up?

We didnt feel compatible so we broke up, replied Ning Shu mildly. They should just directly cut things off this time. Getting involved with Xia Xiaoman all the time was really annoying and Chu Xiaoran would even try to target her.

Right now, she didnt have the ability to fight against Chu Xiaoran.
