Chapter 611

She couldn't help but clench her hands, her heart filled with bewilderment.

"A gentleman? Only ordinary people bother thinking about who is a gentleman. Anran, don't tell me you actually like him; he truly isn't worthy of you." Mother Shen's tone was thick with disdain.

Shen Anran knew clearly that no matter what she said now, she couldn't change her mother's mind, so she could only say sullenly, "I know."

After Shen Anran left, Mother Shen sat on the sofa with a sour expression.

"It really was too good for that Shu Xuan."

Father Shen frowned tightly, looking at Mother Shen with an equally unpleasant expression, "If you hadn't made that reckless call to Old Madam Qiao in the beginning, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation now."

Reviewing the entire matter.

In the end, it was actually his wife who was too foolish, doing things without using her brain.

Of course, there was also the fault of that Shu Xia; she was just a woman from the countryside, yet she managed to bring such huge trouble upon their Shen Family.

"You're blaming me? At the time, you supported me, believing we couldn't let anyone block Anran's path. How was I to know that Shu Xia had bewitched Qiao Muting? That he would dote on her so much?" Mother Shen felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face whenever she thought of this now.

Now that the Shen Family was in trouble, those good friends who used to be close to her were all refusing to answer her calls.

They had even blocked her on WeChat.

Whenever she thought about this, it felt as if a stone had been placed in her heart, making it feel unbearably congested.

Father Shen stopped speaking.

"Our Shen Family... if we can't get through this crisis, will we really be finished? Will we end up like the Lin Family?" Mother Shen asked, belatedly feeling afraid.

Father Shen's face turned pale, "Perhaps even more miserable than the Lin Family, and since our family has many members, we might not have the face to see them in the future! Therefore, I hope Shu Xuan can persuade Shu Xia."

"If Shu Xuan succeeds, do we really have to marry Anran off to him?" Mother Shen asked, unwilling.

A sharp glint flashed in Father Shen's eyes as he shook his head, "It's too early to talk about marriage. Let's first see if he can help us. If he can help us, we will have done our duty by giving his career a boost."

"You're right, it's too early to say anything now." Mother Shen nodded repeatedly.

It was she who had overcomplicated things.

Shen Anran drove to Shu Xuan's apartment building.

When she got out of the car, she looked up at the entire apartment building.

The lights were on on the floor where Shu Xuan lived; he should still be there.

It was already ten o'clock at night; Shu Xia should have left by now, right?

She had the key card Shu Xuan had given her, so she entered the apartment building smoothly and took the elevator.

Shu Xuan lived on the twenty-eighth floor.

Almost everyone who lived in this apartment building was a colleague of Shu Xuan.

In the elevator, someone even recognized her.

They also knew she was Shu Xuan's girlfriend, as she had been to Shu Xuan's company before, in the capacity of his girlfriend.

She stepped out of the elevator and stopped in front of the door.

Her heart was filled with trepidation.

She took a few deep breaths.

Then she pressed the doorbell.

After the doorbell rang a few times, she seemed to hear footsteps coming from inside the apartment; it must have been Shu Xuan walking over.

But the footsteps stopped once they reached the door.

Shen Anran's heartbeat grew faster and faster.

She knew Shu Xuan was standing on the other side of the door.

But why didn't Shu Xuan open the door? What was he hesitating or thinking about?

"Shu Xuan, are you there?" Shen Anran asked in a soft voice.

The moment her voice fell, the door opened.
