Chapter 7 How much do you usually spend on supporting someone?

"It's okay, I understand. It's not easy for you either." Shen Nuo looked at her deeply, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

As an NPC who drives the development of the plot, he will probably be cannon fodder the next time he meets the heroine.

The receptionist didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't expect Shen Nuo to be so easy to talk to. Her face couldn't help but get hot, and she felt ashamed of the misunderstanding she had just had.

After Shen Nuo left the headquarters building, he called Guan Su again and asked her if she had returned home.

Guan Su said, "I have an appointment with Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Lin to go shopping today, so I won't be going back. You should stay home for a few more days and try to smooth things over with your brother."

“…”

There wasn't much description of Guan Su in the original novel, but after traveling here for a few days, Shen Nuo had gotten to know her a little better.

She had a low level of education and was originally a waitress. She was noticed by Shen Huahao because of her beauty. Later, she became pregnant and married into the Shen family.

Guan Su is a bit vain, but not scheming. Her house is filled with all kinds of jewelry and bags she bought. It was fine when Shen Huahao was around, but now that he is gone, she is always worried that she will be kicked out by Shen Huai. She has been accustomed to such a wealthy life for so many years, so how can she get used to the hard life before?

Shen Huai had disliked her since she married into the Shen family. Later, she went abroad to study when she was a teenager. The two of them didn't spend much time together. Shen Huai's mother also came from a wealthy family, so Guan Su was always cautious when facing Shen Huai, and even asked her to please Shen Huai in front of her daughter.

Shen Nuo didn't know if the original owner hated Shen Huai for this reason, but Guan Su was really a bit derelict in her duty as a mother.

Seeing that Guan Su still wanted to escape, Shen Nuo said directly: "If you don't come back today, I will sell all the necklaces and bracelets in your room tomorrow."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without caring what Guan Su thought.

The most important thing now is to find a way to cancel her marriage with Fu Chuji. She doesn't want to die young for the time being. She might as well make the best of it. She still plans to live for a few decades, and she doesn't plan to get involved in the plot of the original novel.

Shen Nuo put his hands on the steering wheel, thinking about how to make Shen Huai change his mind.

Maybe she still needs to find out what the original owner had done before.

The sound of horns coming one after another in her ears brought her back to her senses. It was rush hour, and there was a lot of traffic on the road she was passing through. She had been stuck in traffic for ten minutes.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye.

A tall figure stood on the side of the road. He was wearing light-colored casual clothes. His outstanding appearance and figure attracted the attention of passers-by.

It was the man I met in the bar that day.

Shen Nuo looked at the face that was very much to his liking and sighed quietly in his heart.

What a pity.

The brake lights of the car in front went out and started moving. Just as Shen Nuo was about to look away, he saw a red BMW parked on the side of the road and a woman got out of the car.

The woman was dressed brightly and beautifully, but even though she took good care of herself, her face still showed traces of weathering.

She walked up to the man, took his hand with a smile, and walked into the coffee shop in front of them.

There was a hint of resistance on his cold face, but he did not shake off her hand.

Shen Nuo touched his chin, a thoughtful look passing across his face.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

The vehicles behind her were urging her to go faster. Shen Nuo thought about it, turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road.

She got out of the car and entered the coffee shop. It was morning and there were almost no people in the hall, but she didn't see the two people who had just come in. It seemed that they had asked for a private room.

Shen Nuo found a seat near the door and sat down, then ordered a glass of juice.

She took a sip of juice, still thinking about the scene she had just seen.

The woman just now looked to be about 40 years old. Judging from her clothes and the car she drove, she was probably quite rich. She must be a wealthy woman.

She put the cup down and thought: Is it because the money she gave him that day was too little that he was unwilling to

Thinking of this, Shen Nuo took out his mobile phone and quickly counted his account balance.

The original owner didn't have a job and had been living on the pocket money given by Shen Huahao, but she spent money lavishly, so there was not much left. The 1.5 million she took out that day already accounted for more than half of the balance.

She still had the shares that Shen Huahao left her, but they were not many and could not be converted into cash in the short term, and Shen Nuo had no intention of selling them.

She thought about it and tried to call Shen Huai's number. This time, the call went through. Maybe because of what happened just now, he finally released her from the blacklist.

As soon as the call was picked up, Shen Huai's cold and impatient voice came from the other end: "Chen Nuo, don't I have to work?"

"Ahem."

Shen Nuo cleared his throat: “Brother, I have a question I want to ask you.”

Shen Huai frowned: "What are you doing?"

"I want to ask..."

Shen Nuo looked around and saw that no one noticed him, so he lowered his voice and said, "How much do you usually spend on supporting others?"

“…”

There was a long silence over there. After who knows how long, he gritted his teeth and said, "Where are you? Get back here right now."

Shen Huai suppressed the anger in his heart, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Hearing his anger, Shen Nuo quickly changed his words and said, "No, no, I was just asking casually. I just left the headquarters and saw a news report, so I was curious."

Shen Huai's ugly expression eased a little, but his tone was still gloomy: "I don't care how you act, but you'd better take it easy. No matter what, in the eyes of outsiders, you are still the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Your every move will affect the Shen family. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know." Shen Nuo nodded repeatedly.

"Hang up, don't call me again today."

Shen Huai was about to hang up the phone irritably when he heard Shen Nuo say, "Wait."

"What else?"

Shen Nuo stammered, “That…Brother, I have no money.”

"Oh." Shen Huai responded indifferently, then sneered and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Ana Shen a chance to speak again.

Shen Nuo held the phone and sighed deeply.

In fact, she could have taken the shares and asked Shen Huai for money, but the original owner seemed to have had a very ugly quarrel with Shen Huai because of the dispute over shares. If she really did that, she would never be able to repair her relationship with Shen Huai in this life.

It's not scary to offend people, but it's scary to offend the male protagonist. Even if he does nothing, a flower pot might fall from the sky and kill her one day.

As soon as she put her phone back on the table, she heard it vibrate.

I picked it up and saw a text message:

[[xx Bank] Shen* remits 2,000,000 to you.]
