Chapter 398 Stockholm Syndrome 7
Ning Shu listened to Xia Xiaoman's painstaking advice to her, and she looked like she cared about her very much.
Ning Shu's heart was indifferent, without any fluctuations. The development of the matter to this point was entirely due to Xia Xiaoman's self-willed decision. If she was willing to discuss it with others, she would not be so tired.
Until now, Xia Xiaoman still did not intend to say it, and kept saying that she did not want to hurt Xu Wenlang, but Xia Xiaoman's actions were the greatest harm to Xu Wenlang.
The look of "I have my own difficulties" really made Ning Shu unable to feel Xia Xiaoman's concern for Xu Wenlang.
"I remember everything you said." Ning Shu looked at Xia Xiaoman, "You take care of yourself."
Xia Xiaoman thought Ning Shu knew what she said, and her face turned miserable. She stammered, "Brother Wenlang, do you know something?"
"What do you think I should know?" Ning Shu asked Xia Xiaoman, "We have been together for more than ten years, from childhood to adulthood. What kind of existence am I in your heart?"
"As close as family." Xia Xiaoman said without hesitation, "I can give everything to protect Brother Wenlang, who is like a family."
Family? !
This is similar to the fact that I have always regarded you as my brother.
In other words, Xia Xiaoman subconsciously kicked Xu Wenlang out of the circle of love. There can be friendship and family affection, but not love.
Ning Shu grinned, "I will tell my parents that we broke up."
"Brother Wenlang." Xia Xiaoman's lips trembled, "As long as you are happy."
As long as the people she cares about can be happy, Xia Xiaoman feels that everything she endures is worthwhile.
The two were speechless. Xia Xiaoman walked in front and entered the Xia family, and Ning Shu entered the Xu family opposite.
Xia Xiaoman turned her head and looked at Ning Shu's back, feeling an unprecedented strangeness. She pursed her lips, as long as he was happy.
Xia Xiaoman felt guilty towards Xu Wenlang. She felt sorry for Xu Wenlang, sorry for the man who grew up with her, who had always protected her, who had grown from a boy to a man, and who had always stood in front of her.
Chu Xiaoran appeared in Xia Xiaoman's mind, with a destructive aura, who destroyed everything for her and made her life fall into hell from then on.
The thick nude photos were the devil's hand that dragged her into hell. Xia Xiaoman hated Chu Xiaoran in her heart. Why was it her? Why did Chu Xiaoran choose her?
Why did this emperor-like man choose an ordinary girl like her?
Ning Shu walked into the house and said to the Xu family couple, "Mom and Dad, Xia Xiaoman and I broke up and will not get married."
The Xu family couple was stunned and did not react for a long time. It was Xu's mother who asked first, "What happened? Why did you break up?"
"I just felt that it was not suitable, so I had to break up." Ning Shu said lightly. Forget about breaking up completely this time. It was annoying to always be entangled with Xia Xiaoman, and Chu Xiaoran would deal with him.
Now he has no capital to deal with Chu Xiaoran.
"Isn't this nonsense? Such a joke, the two families are next door to each other, and they see each other every day. Isn't this too embarrassing? The neighbors all know that you are going to get married. If you say you are not getting married now, how can the Xu family have the face to do so? The friendship with the neighbors for more than 20 years will also be gone." Xu's father frowned tightly, "You and the girl next door grew up together, and you know each other well. What is the reason for breaking up?"
Ning Shu moved his lips twice, and when he wanted to speak, a quick doorbell rang, and Xu's mother went to open the door. It was Xia Xiaoman's mother who knocked on the door. Xia Xiaoman's mother dragged Xia Xiaoman, who looked pale, into the living room and asked Ning Shu indignantly, "Wen Lang, what did you do? Why did you break up with Xiaoman?"
Xia Xiaoman felt so guilty that her face turned pale and she felt embarrassed. She glanced at Ning Shu, who looked indifferent, and dragged her mother outside. "Mom, I was the first to break up. It has nothing to do with Wen Lang. Mom, please, let's go back. I'll tell you everything when we get back."
Xia Xiaoman just told her mother that she broke up with Wen Lang. The straightforward mother dragged her over, which made Xia Xiaoman feel very embarrassed. Even if her hardship was to protect the people she cared about, she felt embarrassed and ashamed to say it out loud. She
felt even more disgusted with Chu Xiaoran. He had messed up her life. She was no longer the pure Xia Xiaoman and was not qualified to be Wen Lang's bride.
"Just make it clear if there is anything." Father Xu looked at Xia Xiaoman, "This is not just a matter between the two of you, it's a matter between two families, and it's also related to the reputation of the two families. What is it that has to lead to a breakup?"
"I..." Xia Xiaoman had a lot of pain to say, but she couldn't say it. Tears fell down, and she was very sad.
Mother Xu frowned. It was a bit unbearable for Xia Xiaoman to cry at every turn. Xia Xiaoman was not like this before.
Ning Shu could only say that Xia Xiaoman now turned on the mode of the heroine of the abused novel. She was deeply in love with the male protagonist, and she abused herself.
Anyway, Xia Xiaoman now seemed to be constantly hypnotizing herself. How miserable, uncomfortable, and painful I am.
Ning Shu said, "We did break up. We broke up before."
"Why, Xu Wenlang, you can't change your mind. Our Xiaoman has been following you for so many years. You said you would turn against her. Isn't it too much?" Xia Xiaoman's mother said to Ning Shu dissatisfiedly.
"Our Xiaoman doesn't have to marry you, but there must be a reason for breaking up. I won't agree to leave our Xiaoman behind like this. Old Xu, we have been neighbors for so many years, you can't do such a deceptive thing." Xiaoman's mother spoke like a string of firecrackers, crackling.
Xia Xiaoman's face flushed and tears came down.
Ning Shu saw this scene. From this moment on, the friendship between the Xu family and the Xia family was no longer there. It was impossible for them to be as good as a family as before.
"It was not me who proposed the breakup, and I don't know the reason for the breakup." Ning Shu said lightly: "I also want to ask why Xiaoman broke up with me?"
Xia Xiaoman's mother frowned, and then retorted: "Xiaoman is the kind of timid child, it is impossible for her to propose a breakup first."
Xia Xiaoman is actually not a very opinionated person, from Chu Xiaoran using the photo to intimidate her, you can see that, as for Xia's mother's talk of being timid, Ning Shu sneered, Xia Xiaoman is quite courageous, making such a decision behind the backs of the two families.
She was stupid and thought she had sacrificed a lot, but she didn't think about the situation the two families were facing, and Xu Wenlang died because of her.
"Xiaoman, what's the matter? You proposed to break up?" Xia's mother was stunned for a moment and asked Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman bit her lips tightly and nodded with a sad face.
