"Xiaoran,? You are lucky than me, and you have a brave mother!"

Zhao Xiaoni sighed and looked at Xu Xiaoran, "If my mother was willing to leave that man, we wouldn't have been so depressed! Because he was gambled, our family lived in the strange eyes of others. The only house was sold to him to pay off the debt, but she still refused to let us go!"

"Xiao Ni, don't be too pessimistic!"

Xu Xiaoran held Zhao Xiaoni's hand, "Your mother is not brave enough, you should take this step bravely! Otherwise, how do you know if you will have a different life?"

"Xiaoran, I know you are for my own good. Lu Shitao has a strong background and can protect me well, but I can't leave my mother and my brother behind! As long as my mother refuses to divorce that man, our family will be tied up and cannot be shaken off! Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Xiaoni looked at Xu Xiaoran, "I envy you very much! Really! Even if your original family is as bad as me, at least you don't have to be forced to breathe by my dad's gambling debt every day like me!"

"Xiao Ni, Lu Shitao..."

Xu Xiaoran wanted to say a few more words for Lu Shitao, Zhao Xiaoni sighed and interrupted her, "You don't have to persuade me anymore! I know how to make a choice! I am really grateful to him if he likes me! I will keep him in my heart forever! Even if I live alone for the rest of my life, I will remember that such an excellent man once liked me!"

"Silly, why are you so pessimistic and stubborn?!"

Xu Xiaoran looked at Zhao Xiaoni and felt sorry for her decision. Lu Shitao was willing to pursue her, but she refused.

"Okay, I'm going back to the office!"

Zhao Xiaoni stood up and looked at Xu Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, thank you, really!"

"I did nothing for you!"

Xu Xiaoran felt uncomfortable. She thought that she could help Zhao Xiaoni with some push, but she didn't expect that she would retreat even more. Maybe the more she likes someone, the more inferior she feels, right?

Zhao Xiaoni smiled at Xu Xiaoran and turned toward the department. That's it. She had already made it clear to Lu Shitao. He was so outstanding, what kind of woman he wanted? He would soon forget her.

Xu Xiaoran looked at Zhao Xiaoni's back for a long time and got up and walked towards the elevator. Maybe she thought things were too simple and thought that being in love could overcome all obstacles, but the reality was not like this. Some obstacles could never be overcome! Alas...

"Secretary Xu!"

Cui Xinyi saw Xu Xiaoran and called her loudly. She turned around and saw Cui Xinyi holding Fang Ningli's arm, smiled and said, "Congratulations to you both for getting out of singleness!"

"Haha! Thank you!"

Cui Xinyi thanked generously, "Secretary Xu, we have to thank you very much! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be together!"

'"People who are destined to be together in the end!"

Xu Xiaoran looked at Cui Xinyi and sighed in his heart. It would be great if Zhao Xiaoni was not so stubborn.

"Secretary Xu, you are advanced!"

Cui Xinyi reached out and pressed the elevator. When Xu Xiaoran entered, she walked in with Fang Ningli's arm.

"Xinyi, how did you hand over?"

Xu Xiaoran looked at Cui Xinyi, and she replied with a smile, "The handover should be clear until the end of the month!"

“ok!”
