Chapter 2912: Wanted Him to Experience Another Failure

Ning Shu didn’t actually expect Bai Hanmo to pay her back. He had only said he’d marry her to trick her into giving him the money.

When she handed Bai Hanmo the money, she never believed he’d marry her.

She only wanted him to experience another failure.

She wanted to break his spirit and crush his will. Bai Hanmo’s current situation was the result of several causes and factors.

It wasn’t just Ning Shu who had plotted against him.

Ning Shu hired a private detective to investigate where Bai Hanmo and Ding Ningdie had gone.

Were they really going to start living a reclusive life?

The detective’s investigation revealed the couple had left the country and settled abroad.

So they had left the country. That explained why there was no news of them domestically.

Ning Shu asked the detective if Bai Hanmo had started a new business.

The investigation showed that Bai Hanmo hadn’t established a company abroad.

It seemed Bai Hanmo was truly afraid now.

The higher your position was, the harder it was to get back up.

If Bai Hanmo had to start from scratch, he’d need to flatter and make nice for business deals.

Bai Hanmo would never be able let go of his pride. Furthermore, since he had money in hand, he could live however he wanted.

After Bai Hanmo left the country, Ning Shu didn’t bother to pursue it further and continued with her small business.

Her products grew more popular, but Ning Shu kept production small and avoided expansion.

The production was already difficult, and increasing the quantity would lessen the products’ value.

After Bai Hanmo and Ding Ningdie left, Lian Min would often say sarcastically to Ning Shu, “You’re such a fool. You let a man sweet-talk you into giving him money so easily. He even said he’d marry you, but look at how things turned out.”

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu stayed focused on her work and replied without expression, “Could you not bring up my sore spot?”

“You need to hear it to remember. Do you know how many beauty pastes you’d have to make to earn back that money?” Lian Min said coldly and with disdain. “Is Bai Hanmo so special that he made you two sisters go crazy?”

Ning Shu said lightly, “I’ll take it as a lesson and won’t do it again.”

Ning Shu handed the burn cream to Lian Min. “Can you stop talking about it? I can already recite what you’d say by heart.”

“Don’t be ungrateful. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t even bother,” Lian Min said, taking the cream and looking at Ning Shu. “Do you want to go on a blind date?”

Before Ning Shu could respond, Lian Min continued, “It couldn’t be that you’re still waiting for Bai Hanmo?”

“Why would I wait for him? As for dating, I’ll think about it in the future. For the time being, I don’t want to get married,” Ning Shu refused directly. 𝔯

“How about… You marry into my family? I have two brothers,” Lian Min suggested.

Ning Shu clicked her tongue. “Your eldest brother’s going to inherit the company, and he’ll definitely have a marriage arranged for business. As for your second brother, he doesn’t have a high opinion of me, so forget it.”

The Lian family brothers always thought that Ning Shu was taking advantage of Lian Min.

They didn’t like Ning Shu, and besides, Ning Shu had never considered marrying into the Lian family.

Who Ding Xueqing wanted to marry was her own business, not Ning Shu’s.

“By the way, about the land deal last time, my eldest brother asked me to thank you,” Lian Min said.

“He probably thinks it was just dumb luck,” Ning Shu said casually.

“Luck is a kind of ability too,” Lian Min replied.

Ning Shu changed the subject, “What kind of man do you want to marry?”

“With this scar on my body, men will probably be scared off. Even though it’s not as bad as before, it’s still pretty startling to see,” Lian Min said.

Ning Shu replied, “Oh, you’ll definitely meet a man who doesn’t mind the scar and sees your inner light.”

Both men and women are visual creatures. Good looks were a sign of good genes, and only a mix of charm and good looks could create strong genes for the next generation.
