The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-301

“Luoluo, it’s your Uncle Liu,” the caller replied.

“Uncle Liu?” Shui Anluo quickly handed the little darling to Maid Yu and got up to answer the call. “Are you feeling better now?”

“Much better but I’m not sure if this leg can stand up or not.” Uncle Liu sighed.

Shui Anluo’s chest tightened. “I’m really sorry, Uncle Liu,” she murmured.

“Silly child, what does that have anything to do with you? It’s just unexpected that the mother and daughter would be so merciless. What a waste of your father’s good treatment toward them.” Uncle Liu said with a sigh.

Shui Anluo looked down and picked at the window without saying a word.

Her father had treated those two very well but chased her and her mother out of the house.

“Luoluo, I called you today because I have something to tell you.” Uncle Liu quickly set his emotions aside and stepped into the main topic.

Shui Anluo took a deep breath and said, “Tell me, Uncle Liu.”

“It’s like this, Luoluo. Due to the heavy loss suffered by Soaring Distance Technologies this time, in order to stand up again, our only option is to reorganize. Director Chu has already arranged for the reorganization but it involves a few of our old clients. There will be a party tonight to get in touch with those old clients. I should be the one to go but now…”

“I understand, Uncle Chu, tell me the venue and I’ll go.” Shui Anluo’s heart shivered with feelings when she heard Chu Ningyi’s name but she quickly cast them aside.

She never liked parties but as the only member of the Shui family who could manage business affairs, she has to be in attendance.

“Alright, I’ll send someone to pick you up at six in the evening. It’s likely that all sorts of people would be at the party so you…”

“Uncle Liu, I can do it. Get well soon, Soaring Distance Technologies is waiting for your return to take charge of the situation.” Shui Anluo took a deep breath and soothed him.

Uncle Liu sighed and informed her of matters that she needed to pay attention to during the party before he ended the call.

Shui Anluo stared at call long and looked back at Maid Yu who was staring at her. She shrugged. “Uncle Liu called, I might need to go out tonight.”

Maid Yu understood but her heart ached for Shui Anluo. She was a small girl who needed to shoulder a nearly bankrupt company.

Shui Anluo went back to her room and searched in her cupboard. She did not have a single dress to wear to the party.

Maid Yu, however, suddenly remembered something and rushed to her room to take out a box that she had brought along. She opened it and pulled out a fiery-red cheongsam. “Thank goodness I brought this along.” Maid Yu grinned. She had taken good care of this after Shui Anluo had worn it the first time so the dress was still brand new.

Shui Anluo looked at the dress that Maid Yu had brought out and felt shaken. He Xiaoran had ordered this for her. At the time, it was to ensure that she did not lose face in front of Shui Anjiao.

“Thank you, Maid Yu.” Shui Anluo thanked her earnestly. This might be the only presentable outfit she owned.

Shui Anluo went off to get ready for the party that night. Meanwhile, Chu Ningyi held his phone as he stood by the window. ‘So she has refused to see me? I shall wait for her to come to me then.’

“Shui Anluo, I give you the right to be angry but you don’t have the power to run away.” Therefore, the objective of this party was for Soaring Distance Technologies’ reorganization but also to see… Her.
