Chapter 172 How Dare You Ask My Daughter to Date a Divorced Man

• The older they were, the wiser they would become. Mrs. Shao’s simple statement forced her son to reinstate Fu Xuezi as his secretary. When they heard this, Mrs. Fu and Fu Xuezi’s eyes lit up before they looked at Shao Yunchen.
• There wasn’t any change nor emotion in Shao Yunchen's gaze while he replied without skipping a beat, “It’s a difficult job being my secretary. If it’s a guy, he can definitely take the workload. But she’s a lady who should look for a boyfriend at her age. If she’s always by my side, scandalous rumors that could hurt her reputation would fly around.” He paused for a moment before looking up at Mrs. Lu with a fake smile. “Mrs. Fu, this is for her own good. She isn’t short on money anyway. This job is an easy one, so she’ll have more time to make friends.”
• “Well…” Mrs. Fu was shut down by his explanation. It was a succinct one, but it stopped them from articulating their mind by telling everyone that he was uninterested in Fu Xuezi. Mrs. Fu’s expression darkened further. When she opened her mouth, she didn’t know what she should talk about. When she turned imperceptibly to look at Fu Xuezi, her heart was broken upon seeing her daughter’s face drained of all color despite the makeup put on. She thought of something before glancing at Mrs. Shao, to which the latter nodded in consolation.
