Chapter 2083: Increase My Value
Father Wen handed his empty bowl to Mother Wen, who hurriedly served him the soup. Father Wen looked at Ning Shu and asked, “Why do you suddenly want to manage a market?”
“Didn’t I say that you just need to be a good Mrs. Tang? The Tang family has a deep heritage, and you must learn to be a qualified Mrs. Tang.” Father Wen said as he received the soup bowl from Mother Wen.
“Sister, were you abandoned by Tang Yu? So that’s why you want to manage a market!” Wen Ermei began verbally attacking Ning Shu. “I heard that Tang Yu has a daughter. You’ll be a stepmother when you marry. Seems like your future stepdaughter doesn’t like you.”
Ning Shu smiled. “I will be marrying Tang Yu. I only want to learn to manage a store to increase my value. A daughter-in-law that understands the business field is more valuable than a daughter-in-law who is only a pretty vase.”
“This way, the Wen and Tang families can cooperate more easily. I’m doing this for the Wen family.” Ning Shu looked at Wen Ermei. “Does Sister disagree with what I’m saying?”
“But there is no new market for you to manage,” Father Wen said after taking a sip of soup.
“Dad, how could there be no market for Sister to manage? The store in Huaxin is perfect for her.” The smile Wen Ermei directed at Ning Shu felt extremely foreboding.
The three older brothers also smiled strangely, not saying a word.
Even if Ning Shu were blind, she would still be able to see that they had some hidden motive in having her manage Huaxin’s mall. Business there was probably terrible.
Father Wen raised his eyebrows, and told Ning Shu, “Since you want to try, you can manage the Huaxin store.”
Ning Shu took a deep breath. She’d finally taken the first step.
“Congratulations, Sister. I believe that Sister’s abilities can definitely increase the performance of the Huaxin store.” Wen Ermei picked up her glass and toasted Ning Shu.
Ning Shu also picked up her glass, and clinked glasses with Wen Ermei. “Thanks for your blessing.”
Wen Ermei just smiled. She was already enjoying the thought of Ning Shu’s future struggles.
“Why do you want to work? Keeping an eye on Son-in-law Tang is enough work. Huaxin is far away from here. If other women take the opportunity to snatch him up while you’re gone then all you can do is cry about it,” said Mother Wen, clearly in a bad mood.
Ning Shu smiled slightly. “The best way to keep an eye on a man is to let him chase me, rather than me chasing after him.”
True love wasn’t about chasing, but about desperately trying to get close to each other.
Love, love, love. Ning Shu really had no interest in it. She didn’t need the confusion it caused, the emotions that trapped people, the constant fears of the future it brought, or the need to reminisce about times past in order to soothe the ache it left behind.
Ning Shu didn’t want to listen to Mother Wen’s nagging, so she hummed in affirmation.
After eating dinner, Ning Shu asked Father Wen about the situation of the Huaxin market. It was exactly what Ning Shu expected.
Huaxin was a relatively remote place and the market lost money almost every year. Father Wen had already planned to withdraw from the area.
He wasn’t letting Ning Shu manage Huaxin because he expected her to revitalize the market. He only intended to let her mess around while he waited for her to calm back down and marry Tang Yu: for her to become a good Mrs. Tang.
As she came out of the study, Wen Ermei sneered and said, “As I said, Sister, you should just relax and be Mrs. Tang. Be too greedy and you’ll end up accomplishing nothing and looking even more ridiculous.”
Ning Shu tilted her head and looked at Wen Ermei. “Say, are you in love with me? Are you picking fights with me every day because you’re fighting the feelings in your heart?”
This was just their usual daily bickering.
