Chapter 1057: End of Chu Xiaoran’s Prison Sentence

Xia Xiaoman had given birth to the child, but she had no idea how to take care of a child. As she faced the bawling baby, she was at a complete loss. She had no idea what to do.

She didn’t know that the child wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t really understand if he was hungry or had wet his diapers. The moment the child cried, her heart would ache. There were too many feelings pent up in her heart, so she picked up the child and started crying. The empty villa reverberated with the heart-wrenching wails of the child.

Xia Xiaoman had never had to go through any major event in her life. Her family was also a well-off family, so she had grown up being doted on. There was also Xu Wenlang, this neighborhood big brother looking after her and shielding her no matter what she faced.

Before she even stepped into society, before even being polished by society, she was snatched by Chu Xiaoran. Even though Chu Xiaoran didn’t treat her well, she still never had to consider things for the sake of survival. She spent all day thinking about random pointless things.

Now that the question of survival was pressuring her and she even had to raise a child without anyone else to rely on, Xia Xiaoman felt like her heart was being simmered in hot oil.

Xia Xiaoman took the child to the law firm to look for Ning Shu. The only person Xia Xiaoman could think of in T City was Ning Shu. The only one that could help her was Big Brother Wenlang who had known her for more than ten years. However, when she got to the law firm, she was told that Ning Shu wasn’t here.

Ning Shu was standing in front of the window upstairs. She saw that Xia Xiaoman was standing at the entrance while carrying a child. Xia Xiaoman had gotten a lot skinnier and her face was deathly pale like a single gust of wind could knock her over.

The moment Ning Shu saw Xia Xiaoman’s facial color, she knew that Xia Xiaoman had spleen qi deficiency. She hadn’t taken care of herself after giving birth and hurt her body. It was still alright while she was young, but once she got older, she’d have puerperal fever for the rest of her life.

It was remarkable how skilled she was at hurting herself.

Xia Xiaoman had no choice but to head back. However, in the end, one of the older female workers at the law firm couldn’t bear to just watch anymore and advised Xia Xiaoman to hire a nurse to look after the child.

When Xia Xiaoman heard that someone could help her take care of the child, her eyes lit up with joy. However, that joy quickly faded. It’d definitely take a lot of money to hire a nurse and she didn’t have that much money.

Xia Xiaoman never imagined that there would come a day that she’d have to worry about money. In the past, she didn’t even have a concept of money, yet now, she had to plan because of money and be conflicted over half the day because of just a bit of money.

When she thought of her child, in the end, she still gritted her teeth and hired a nurse. However, now she was even more tight on money. She started thinking about what else she had left to sell.

Xia Xiaoman finally had room to breathe now that there was a nurse to help take care of the child, so now she spent all day guarding the calendar and crossing out the days one by one, waiting for Chu Xiaoran to get out of prison.

Ning Shu was also waiting for Chu Xiaoran to get out of prison. What meaning was there for him to stay in prison? There was someone to watch over him twenty-four seven and plenty of food and drink. When he was bored, there was even a group of people to play with, do pick up the soap and such.

Ning Shu drove to the prison the day that Chu Xiaoran was scheduled to get out. When she arrived, she saw that Xia Xiaoman was already waiting at the door. Xia Xiaoman had even gotten dressed up today. She was in a white dress. However, because she was too thin, she didn’t look as good as before and there was a fatigue around her that was impossible to get rid of.

Ning Shu stayed in the car and just watched as people came out from the prison.

Chu Xiaoran came out as well. Xia Xiaoman covered her mouth as her tears streamed down her cheeks, then she threw herself into Chu Xiaoran’s arms.

Ning Shu looked at Chu Xiaoran. This person was completely different from the Chu Xiaoran she remembered. The current Chu Xiaoran had completely lost that noble and proud air that he used to naturally emit. His halo had faded by a huge amount. Chu Xiaoran was just an ordinary man now. Actually, he might not even match up to an ordinary man.

The current Chu Xiaoran had nothing left and even had a criminal record. It’d be hard for him to get anywhere in society now.
