Just as Xie Yutong was about to reply, Zhuang Nainai gripped her.

She was in a bad mood and didn’t want to humor her before, but Xue Rong was going too far.

Casting a glance at Shi Haoyu and Xue Rong, she said, “Let bygones be bygones. If I were really still hung up over this, I wouldn’t have come. On the other hand, you seem to be the one who can’t let go, seeing how you’re still picking on it!”

That wave of sarcasm turned Xue Rong red. Gritting her teeth in anger, she took a deep breath to calm herself down so as to not lose her head in front of all their classmates. “Well, am I not just feeling guilty toward you? Zhuang Nainai, you still haven’t gotten yourself a boyfriend yet, I guess? How about letting Haoyu introduce someone to you?”

Having said this, she turned toward Shi Haoyu. “Hubby, isn’t there a new intern in your department? He doesn’t have a girlfriend yet, so maybe we can introduce him to Nainai.”

On the sidelines, a girl asked, “How does he look? How tall is he?”

Xue Rong replied, “He’s 1.5 meters tall and... about 100 kilograms?”

Xie Yutong was fuming. “Damn, 1.5 meters is a little too short, isn’t it? Xue Rong, you have the nerve to introduce any old Tom, Dick, and Harry to Nainai?”

The ladies surrounding them immediately made the same face as Xie Yutong.

Xue Rong smiled and replied, “Well, Nainai is pretty, but I’m sure y’all don’t know this yet. She has a mother at home who’s mentally ill and requires about 5000 dollars per month for her hospital expenses, and with her condition as such...”

She didn’t reveal all, but the people around her suddenly understood.

Xue Rong continued, “It’s actually quite a feat to be able to enter the Imperial Group to be an intern immediately upon graduation. I mean, not everyone can be like my husband, who managed to be a vice director mere months after graduation.”

That satisfied Shi Haoyu greatly, and he straightened his back.

Xue Rong looked toward Zhuang Nainai. “Nainai, it’s all about the abilities of a person. Even though he may be a nerdy person, he’s going to be okay with taking care of your mentally deranged mother, and he’ll be willing to weather everything with you!”

She made it sound like she was giving heartfelt advice, and yet it was infuriating.

Mentally deranged mother? Zhuang Nainai had always been proud of her mother. How could she let Xue Rong insult her mother like that?

Zhuang Nainai wanted to disfigure Xue Rong’s face so badly. The classmates surrounding her were now shooting her looks of pity. Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and said, “Xue Rong, don’t try to act nice; I don’t need your hypocrisy. I...”

“That’s right, we don’t need your help. Our Nainai here already has a boyfriend!” Before Zhuang Nainai could speak further, Xie Yutong had interrupted her from behind. “What’s up with the 5000 dollars a month for Nainai’s mother? A person who has true financial ability won’t even care for a petty sum like this!”

Wasn’t Xue Rong trying to say how Zhuang Nainai was unable to find a good man because of her mother?

Then Xie Yutong’s words were now a blatant slap on Shi Haoyu’s face!

Thinking that Nainai’s mother was a burden only meant one thing — that he was not capable enough.

Shi Haoyu’s face froze immediately; his expression darkened.

Xue Rong was greatly angered as well. Pointing at Xie Yutong, she said, “That’s not true!”

Xie Yutong curled her lips. “Why are you so agitated? You can’t bear to see our Nainai dong well? Our Nainai is pretty, good in her studies, has high abilities... what’s so abnormal about her being able to get a rich second-generation heir as her boyfriend?”

Shi Haoyu couldn’t stop himself any longer. “Nainai, you must let us know if you run into any difficulties, okay? We’ll surely help you. Don’t walk down the wrong path!”
