Chapter 8

Shen Cheng didn’t bother to argue with them and went straight to the point: “Any of you can marry him, but you can’t cause physical harm to Nanxi. I just want to make sure she’s safe. If anyone kills each other or hits my sister, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“dad!”

“Shen Cheng!”

“I want to give you a divorce, a divorce!”

Shen Wenhui cried, pointing at Shen Cheng and scolding: “It’s fine if you cheated on me, but you also want to take back the bastard and protect her. Do you want to divorce and marry that bitch from the countryside?”

“Auntie Wang, serve the food!”

“OK.”

With grandchildren around, Shen Cheng didn’t want to quarrel with her. If she really wanted to divorce, he would agree to it. He must recognize Shen Nanxi as his daughter.

To be honest, he liked Luo Qing, but the woman ran away pregnant with his child. He searched for her for a long time but couldn’t find her. He also liked their daughter.

The more he didn’t talk, the angrier Su Wenhui became: “Shen Cheng, you have no conscience, you are a playboy, you said you liked me when you were chasing me, but not long after, you found another woman!”

Shen Cheng didn’t look for her either. It was indeed Luo Qing who seduced him. Luo Qing was too beautiful, it was impossible for him to control himself.

He had already sat at the dining table and said to the hysterical man, “You had to make a scene in front of the children. You can’t live a peaceful life if you still make a scene at your age. Also, you and your daughter are not allowed to cause trouble for Nanxi. Chaonan was seriously injured and that’s why you were detained!”

He had to ask someone to keep an eye on the mother and daughter and not let them harass his daughter.

“You bastard!”

Su Wenhui was so angry that she burst into tears: “I want to divorce you, and I want to divorce you now!”

“mom…”

“Mom, calm down!”

Her son and daughter-in-law surrounded her and began to persuade her. No matter how she scolded him, Shen Cheng remained as steady as a rock and ate his meal leisurely. He had said everything he needed to say. He would dislike anyone who touched Nanxi!

Those who disobey him will suffer a bad end!

Shen Ziyan was also so angry that she cried. Ever since Shen Nanxi came from the countryside, her father has been less fond of her. Apart from material things, he rarely showed her concern.

She said this with a clear conscience. Shen Cheng still cared about her and often asked her how the store was going and whether she needed her father’s help.

She always said she didn’t want it, she wanted to prove her ability and wanted Huo Xizhou to look at her differently.

The Shen family was in chaos. Su Wenhui and Shen Cheng slept in separate rooms because they didn’t want to see him.

Shencheng finally had some peace and quiet, so she could make as much noise as she wanted.

The next day.

Shen Nanxi got up a little late, it was already 8 o’clock, she hurriedly got up to wash, Huo Xizhou had already gone to work, she also quickly went out.

She ran into Lin Guixiang who was returning from dropping off her child. Lin Guixiang blocked her way, stared at her and said, “You’re running so fast, did you find a job?”

She has been taking care of the children at home and living on the man. Now that the children are older, she also wants to find a job, but she has no education and can’t find a job at all, so she is very curious about what kind of job Shen Nanxi has found.

Shen Nanxi took a few breaths and said, “Sister Guixiang, I bought a shop and I’m making clothes for people. If you’re interested, you can go over and have a look. It’s on the street next to the department store. I’m looking for someone to make clothes. Do you think you’d like to do it?”

“I can make clothes!”

Lin Guixiang was very happy because her family had a sewing machine and she made clothes for everyone in the family.

“Are you free now? Otherwise, you can give me a ride instead of taking the bus.”

“I’m free. I’m fine. Come up quickly.”

Her husband’s salary is not high, so she wants to earn some money to supplement the family income and buy nice things.

Shen Nanxi got into her car, and she drove Shen Nanxi to the department store. She bought steamed buns and soda when she passed by the breakfast shop. Shen Nanxi ate steamed buns all the way and was full when she arrived at the store.

Lin Guixiang envied her for running such a big shop and also knew about her being a model, but she changed so suddenly.

Shen Nanxi said that she was lucky to have met someone who admired her. She also said that she was going to get a divorce and had to have a career.

Lin Guixiang was helping to sweep the floor. She looked up and said, “If you had been so motivated earlier, Chief Huo would not have divorced you. But if you behave like this now, maybe it’s not too late.”

“Sister Guixiang, I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Now that customers have come, watch me greet them. When I’m busy, you can help me look after the store, and I’ll pay you.”

“OK!”

Lin Guixiang’s eyes are bright and she looks a little younger.

She was learning and watching how Shen Nanxi talked to the guests. Suddenly, she felt that Shen Nanxi had an indescribable charm. She was friendly, smiling, gentle but tough. Also, she was so cute and beautiful.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She made the aunt so happy that she ordered two sets of clothes at once, and the prices were quite expensive. She must make a lot of money, right?

After Shen Nanxi received the guests, she started to cut clothes. At this time, the car delivering fabrics came, and this time they ordered fabrics for young people to wear.

After Shen Nanxi finished her work, she hurried to make styles for young people and asked Lin Guixiang to watch and asked her to take the fabric back for processing. She was given five yuan for a set of clothes and four yuan for a skirt.

Lin Guixiang was so happy that wrinkles appeared on her sallow face.

Shen Nanxi made two sets of clothes and two skirts, and asked Lin Guixiang to make two popular items. She planned to buy a clothes hanger and hang it in the middle of the entrance and sell it as clothes.

Lin Guixiang was learning beside her, marveling at Shen Nanxi’s speed and technique, this is simply a talent, I didn’t see it, I didn’t see it, it’s amazing.

In the office of the City Defense Department, Huo Xizhou sat on a chair with a gloomy look on his face, tapping the table with his fingers. Suddenly, he stood up and walked out.

After driving out of the house, he lit a cigarette and drove towards the department store. He remembered that there was a place that made clothes over there and he wanted to go and take a look.

This matter was on my mind for the entire afternoon. I wanted to confirm whether what she said was true or not, and I wanted to see where she made the clothes.

He was driving very slowly, wandering on the street, when he suddenly saw Lin Guixiang loading cloth onto a bicycle. He parked his car in front and watched. After Lin Guixiang left, he got off and walked towards the shop.

Lin Guixiang took the cloth and thread balls back and would make clothes according to the size required by Shen Nanxi.

Shen Nanxi was so busy that she stood up to drink some water, and then she saw a tall man walking in. He had found his way here.

Huo Xizhou looked at her, then looked around the shop. He had never seen the styles of clothes hanging on the wall before, and they seemed quite novel.

“You made these?”

His voice was calm, without his usual ferocity, and his features were also a little warmer.

Shen Nanxi put down the cup and said, “Yes.” Her voice was gentle, but distant.

Huo Xizhou said calmly, with no emotion visible, and walked to the desk again, asking again the question in his mind: “Who did you borrow the money from, and how much did you borrow?”

He originally wanted to divorce without paying a penny, but he couldn’t help but know these things. He felt like there was a wild beast trapped in his heart, wanting to break out of the cage.

This made him, who was usually calm and indifferent, feel irritated and he had a feeling of love and hate towards her.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, there is no love.

Ana Shen couldn’t understand him, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised, examining him: “We are all getting divorced, can you please not ask me these things, I promise not to cause you any trouble.”

She felt that if she mentioned shooting a commercial, he would be furious, as people like him generally don’t like their partners to be in the spotlight.

“Just urge your leader, it should be approved soon.”

Divorce quickly and it will have nothing to do with him anymore.

Huo Xizhou’s face tensed and darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. His cold thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and a dangerous aura emanated from his deep eyes.

Shen Nanxi became nervous, what did he want to do?
