Chapter 642: Mind Your Own Business

“Moreover, if both parties haven’t consulted, working overtime on weekends violates Article 41 of the Labor Law.

If he doesn’t know how to refuse, then he has no right to complain about being tired.

As for his roommate not cleaning up, it’s not that he is good-tempered, it’s that he is soft and easy to bully.”

Xu Shu heaved a deep sigh.

His work was continuous, and he rarely spoke after work.

The nurses in the hospital would secretly talk about him, believing that his temperament was too cold and unapproachable, but in reality, he was tired—too tired to talk.

Xu Shu indeed had prejudices against Song Jin, but he hadn’t yet reached the point of deliberately stirring trouble.

As he analyzed the situation point by point, he became more and more angry.

“How can we be at ease with you being with such a man?”

“Brother, it’s not like that, Ah Jin, he, Ah Jin he…”

Xu Tingting tried hard to think of other merits of Song Jin, but racked her brain and couldn’t come up with any.

She had never felt so at a loss for words in her life.

This time Xu Shu didn’t interrupt arbitrarily, giving her the space to express herself, but she couldn’t come up with anything to say.

He became even angrier, speaking in a low angry tone: “Tingting, it’s okay to date, but don’t be too blind.

You’re still young, not yet at the stage of talking about marriage.

Let me see clearly for you the person you can’t see yourself.”

Xu Tingting pouted her lips, retorting, “But I just like him!”

Xu Shu’s dark eyes narrowed, his brows expressing faint anger, which was then covered by a cold demeanor.

When he spoke next, his tone was less caring, and upon listening closely, somewhat distant: “Fine, do as you please, I won’t interfere with you.”

Xu Tingting was almost in tears.

Xu Shu was usually very nice to her, and he had a good temper.

Compared to Uncle Bo and Uncle Mo, Xu Shu’s temperament was gentle, practically an angel.

But the words he said to her today made her feel that even getting angry was unreasonable on her part.

Suddenly, her heart felt utterly empty.

Xu Shu’s next words tightened her entire heart:

“I’ll speak to your second brother, let him look after you.”

Xu Tingting shivered with fright.

By all rights, since Xu Shu was adopted, she and her second brother, being of actual blood relation, should be closest, yet Xu Shu showed no interest in the family company and had pursued a career in medicine early on, leaving the company to her second brother.

The business world was a brutal place, merciless and fierce, and her second brother’s temperament had become even more composed; thus, being around him felt somewhat intimidating.

She quickly grabbed a stool and sat next to Xu Shu, clinging to his arm like a spoiled child, “Take care of me, please, don’t tell my second brother, I beg you.”

Xu Shu glanced at her indifferently, “To see or not to see?”

Great, the conversation had circled back to the beginning.

Neither brother was easy to deal with.

She felt like a pitiable little thing.

In the end, she reluctantly agreed, “See, we’ll see him, but I need to check Ah Jin’s schedule, find a time suitable for both of you, okay?”

Xu Shu snorted coldly, withdrawing his hand from hers.

A demeanor of being reluctant to deal with her.

Xu Tingting just stared at him.

Xu Shu didn’t look at her, tapping his skewer on the plate, “Eat your skewer.”

Xu Tingting finally relaxed, quickly sitting back down, and soon her mouth was full of grease again.

He couldn’t stand to watch, wiping her mouth himself, yet he thought about how the Xu family’s twenty years of pampering Xu Tingting had all been in vain.

Not even the roadside skewers pleased her as much.

At two in the morning, Mo Tingshen was helped out by Yaen Chi and others.
