Chapter 688 Her Marriage
Shao Xue’s thoughts were spiraling. The hatred inside her heart grew stronger and stronger over time.
Shao Xue built blocks with Miaomiao.
They didn’t stop until the nanny called Miaomiao to sleep.
After Miaomiao went to bed, Shao Xue intended to sleep after a shower.
Yet when she finished a shower, someone knocked on her door.
Shao Xue opened the door.
It was Shao Tianze.
She was surprised, “Brother, it’s so late. Something wrong?”
Shao Tianze’s serious look indicated that he had something important to say.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in front of her door.
It had never happened before.
Seeing her in a bathrobe, Shao Tianze said, “Let’s have some coffee downstairs.”
Shao Xue nodded, “One minute. I need to dry my hair.”
“I’ll wait downstairs.”
Shao Tianze left.
Shao Xue rubbed her hair with a large towel and went to the living room.
Shao Tianze made some coffee. He saw Shao Xue coming, signing her to sit opposite him.
Shao Xue sat down. She looked at the espresso in front of her and said with concern, “Brother, you won’t be able to sleep at night if you drink coffee now.”
Shao Tianze still took a sip of the espresso and said, “It’s all right. I’ve been sleeping less recently.”
Shao Xue thought about what had happened recently. First, the Shao enterprise was not able to recover under pressure. After that, Gu Changle’s surgery gave him quite a headache. It would be fair enough for him to sleep less.
Or, all of them kept Shao Tianze awake at night.
Shao Xue didn’t have the coffee. She asked Shao Tianze tentatively, “Brother, is something bothering you?”
Hearing this, Shao Tianze put down the coffee cup and replied, “It’s not considered bothering me. There’s one thing. I have been thinking about it for quite some time.”
Shao Xue did not want to ask what it was, but she knew Shao Tianze wanted her to do so. She asked, “What is it?”
Shao Tianze answered, “Your marriage.”
After thinking about it in the study, Shao Tianze thought he had better do as Gu Changle said.
After all, he wouldn’t allow having Shao Xue by his side since she had been suspected of having contact with Song Yunxuan.
It would be too obvious to transfer her again at work.
It was better to get her married. It was easier once and for all.
Shao Xue twisted her eyebrows as if she did not understand what he said, “My marriage?”
Shao Tianze nodded, “You’re not a little girl. Are you in love?”
Shao Xue did not understand why Shao Tianze suddenly came up with her marriage.
She frowned and asked, “Do you find me annoying at home? Why do you want me to get married?”
“No, it’s not like that. I hope you are here with me and Miaomiao. But it’s time for you to think about yourself. You know what happened to Shao’s. I’m worried you’ll have a bad time once Shao’s collapsed.”
It was just pretty words. Shao Xue was clear that Shao Tianze was telling her to leave here.
Otherwise, he would not say things like that all of a sudden.
Besides, when Shao’s business went from strength to strength, Shao Tianze had never considered getting her married into another powerful family.
Given that Shao’s had been declining, what kind of powerful family could she marry into?
“Brother, please. We’re family. We’re here for each other for the good times and for the bad times, not to mention that Shao’s may not be doomed. Even if it is, I will be here for you. I’m not afraid of it.”
Shao Tianze fell into silence.
He had thought of Shao Xue’s reaction, but he did not expect Shao Xue would say that.
He took a deep breath and raised his eyes, “But I think you’d better find a boyfriend. After all, I can’t take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Shao Tianze insisted, and Shao Xue could see that. She said, “Brother, I can’t think of anyone now.”
“How about I choose one for you?”
Although Shao’s was going downhill, to outsiders, it looked like being pounced on by both the Song Family and the Lu Family.
However, a sleeping lion was stronger than a barking dog.
The Shao’s was once glorious, and its foundation was still there.
Even if some citizens believed that Shao’s had already come to a dead-end, there were some people still looking on it.
Some were even tempted to lend a hand to the Shao Family in such a crucial time.
They would become the biggest benefactors and get a double return if the Shao Family rose again because of their help.
The return was risky but also attractive.
Shao Tianze did not seek help as he hadn’t found a good reason.
How nice that would be if Shao Xue’s marriage could get an ally who could help the Shao enterprise to go through the difficult times.
Now was the best time to find this ally.
As for which family would be Shao’s true friend, it needed much thinking.
Hearing Shao Tianze was going to choose a husband for her, the idea of a “commercial match” jumped out of Shao Xue’s mind.
Shao Xue pursed her lips, “Who’s it gonna be, brother?”
Shao Tianze hadn’t found a proper candidate for the time being. He answered, “I don’t know what kind of man you like. Tell me about it. Changle and I will keep an eye on it.”
Shao Tianze sighed slightly, “As long as you think he’s appropriate.”
Shao Tianze could see that she was not interested in it.
But even so, he wouldn’t give up this idea of getting her married.
“Make one demand, just one.”
Shao Tianze insisted on asking Shao Xue’s opinions.
Shao Xue replied, “I only want a person who will hit it off with me. What kind of man do you think I will like, brother?”
Shao Tianze laughed, “I really don’t know.”
Shao Xue said, “I want a mature man who can take care of my feelings and respect my family. As long as you can find such a man, I will be happy to marry him.”
What Shao Xue said was not demanding. It was not hard to find such a man.
However, Shao Tianze searched all the gentlemen from well-known families in his mind. It was found that no one was a qualified candidate except Chu Mochen.
They either had a sense of responsibility but were not good-looking, or they were good-looking but had no talent.
He gently rubbed his eyebrows.
Shao Xue said, “If you can’t find such a man for me, I’ll stay with you and Miaomiao forever.”
Seeing Shao Tianze rubbing his eyebrows, Shao Xue knew that he got stuck on her requirement.
Therefore, her marriage could be delayed for a while.
Shao Xue did not know why Shao Tianze suddenly wanted to get her to marry, but she knew it must be Gu Changle who tampered with this.
Thinking of this, she went back to her room and made a call to Song Yunxuan.
But no one answered.
Shao Xue frowned and felt somewhat uneasy.
She went to Fanxing Magazine the next day.
Since it was noticeable to go to the Song enterprise for Song Yunxuan, she went to Fanxing Magazine first.
Although Xiao Hong served as Song Yunxuan’s a.s.sistant, she was still the editor-in-chief of the magazine.
Seeing Shao Xue coming, Fanxing’s elder staff called Xiao Hong immediately.
Xiao Hong informed Song Yunxuan that Shao Xue went to Fanxing Magazine and required to meet her.
Song Yunxuan was resting at home and received a call from Xiao Hong. She twisted her eyebrows and answered, “Meet her on my behalf. I can’t go there right now.”
Since Shao Xue was only able to contact her through Fanxing, it meant Shao Xue could not have frequent contact with her.
The reason why Shao Xue did so was…
Song Yunxuan pondered for a while, frowned, and then added, “Be careful with stalkers when you meet her.”
Xiao Hong said okay and hung up the phone.
Currently, Mei Qi was in charge of the Song enterprise on the surface.
Although Song Yunxuan was in power secretly, outsiders only knew that she had spent most of her time at home.
A few days ago, Lu Feng claimed to the public that she was recovering at home for these days because he was worried that her pregnancy news was out.
He didn’t mention what exactly happened to her.
It fueled rumors and speculation.
However, Song Yunxuan took charge of Fanxing Magazine. Fanxing was powerful in the industry. With it, the media could not make any big news about her.
She was rea.s.sured.
It was Shao Xue’s call that made her uneasy and worried today.
Song Yunxuan gently rubbed her eyebrows.
She had a bad feeling.
She hoped it was an illusion. Otherwise, she would feel uneasy again.
Song Yunxuan put down fingers from her eyebrows and touched her belly gently.
As time went on, she was able to feel this little life inside her more and more clearly.
It was all Chu Mochen had left.
It was his child. She must deliver it safe and sound.
She pursed her lips and slightly raised her eyes, which were full of firmness and persistence.
