The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 55 Difficulty in Finding a Job

Taking off her dirty clothes, Xu Ruo saw her body in the mirror. Luckily, her old man hadn't found out. Her body below the neck was ravaged beyond recognition, covered in kiss marks, scratches, and two clearly visible handprints on her waist. It was easy to imagine how badly she had been slept with last night.

Xu Ruo frowned and cursed, "Beast!" before grabbing the shower gel, applying it, and starting to wash her body.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I remembered that I had seen on my phone that Ashu had called me seven or eight times this morning, and I hadn't answered any of them. I was going to get yelled at, so I quickly called back.

Yun Shu had just returned to her office from the operating room when her phone rang. It was that brat Xu Ru calling.

"Ah Ruo! You finally remembered to call me. Hurry up and get someone to tow your car and Dr. Chen's car away. People in the neighborhood are asking about it as they pass by. And you... are you alright?" Yun Shu was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to ask.

"Haha... What could possibly happen to me? I'll have someone tow the car away in a bit. Ah Shu! I might be busy these next couple of days, so I won't be able to come see you. Don't miss me too much!" Xu Ru dodged the question; how could she possibly tell Ah Shu what happened last night? She'd be furious.

"You big-headed devil! Take it easy!" Yun Shu laughed and hung up the phone. Last night, she and Ming Kun secretly watched her and Dr. Chen having sex. Luckily, Aruo didn't find out. Now, if she were to suddenly confront her, she would feel embarrassed herself.

It was too late to stop her then. Luckily, Xu Ruo gave herself to Dr. Chen, whom she liked; otherwise, she would have been heartbroken afterwards. Judging from her tone just now, she seemed quite happy, even pleased. Indeed, Chen Mingyuan had such a good catch, and this tomboyish Xu Ruo had snatched it away. Every girl in the hospital who liked Chen Mingyuan must be crying her eyes out in the bathroom.

Yun Shu shook off the joke in her mind. Her colleague next to her, thinking she was talking to her boyfriend on the phone, teased her happily. Yun Shu embarrassedly withdrew her smile and reminded herself that she needed to be more serious during work hours, especially in a public area of ​​the office.

When Yun Shu was about to leave work in the afternoon, she saw Chen Mingyuan heading this way, so she immediately pulled back and changed her route.

Chen Mingyuan was about to greet Yun Shu when he noticed that the woman had suddenly walked to another path, so he decided to let it go and find her another day. He had originally wanted to talk to her about his car, but now it seemed he would have to find Xu Ruo instead.

Yun Shu was startled. She had just witnessed this man's unrestrained side last night, and seeing him again suddenly was incredibly awkward. She patted her chest, realizing that Chen Mingyuan and Xu Ruo were unlikely to ever cross paths, yet now they were entangled together. But it didn't seem so bad. Chen Mingyuan was a doctor, and his family background was supposedly quite good.

Aruo comes from a good family, and in fact, if she were serious, she would be a good match for Chen Mingyuan, provided that she dresses up properly and doesn't act strangely. Aruo wasn't this outgoing before; it's probably mostly because of Uncle Xu. Aruo was afraid that Uncle Xu would remarry and bring home a stepmother, so after she turned thirteen, Aruo cut her hair messily, wore mismatched clothes, and adopted a gender-neutral, tomboyish style.

I hope Aruo and Chen Mingyuan can get together, and that she can return to her true self.

Yun Shu left the hospital, took a car home, and then went to buy groceries to cook dinner with Xu Ya. She wondered if Xu Ya had found a job yet.

When Yun Shu got home, she found Xu Ya sitting there lost in thought, her face full of worry. She knew immediately that Xu Ya's job search had failed again. She put the groceries she had bought in the kitchen and came out to sit next to her.

"Xu Ya, you can't rush the job search."

"But sister, I've been looking for two days now, and no one wants me, and no one has called me. Is Nancheng really that hard to stay in?" Xu Ya's voice was trembling with tears as she spoke. These past two days had been so disheartening that she was starting to doubt her life.

"It depends on what kind of job you're looking for. Even in the most bustling places, people doing menial jobs like cleaning, washing dishes, or selling vegetables can still make a living. You need to first assess what you're capable of doing and what positions truly suit your abilities. Don't blindly search around and waste your time and energy; you'll only end up like this yourself."

"Sister, I'm so sad! If I had studied harder before, and been as great as you, would I be able to find a good job now?" Xu Ya said, and tears began to fall.

"That's not necessarily true. Many business owners don't have high levels of education, but they can seize opportunities. Of course, it's easier to find a job if you have a higher level of education... Xu Ya, now is not the time to be disappointed or discouraged. Don't be unrealistic. Some people with lower levels of education than us earn more money than us. As long as you are willing to work hard and work diligently, you can always support yourself and help your family." Yun Shu slowly explained the reasons to her and then handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.

It's rare that she's realized her past mistakes. She's still young, and it's not too late for her to try. Let her look for a job herself for a couple more days; if that doesn't work, she'll ask someone to help her find one.

After crying for a while, Xu Ya stopped and said, "Sister, it's okay. I'll keep looking around tomorrow. I'll help you cook, I'm starving!" After crying, she realized that what she ate for lunch had long been digested and she was now hungry.

Yun Shu smiled and agreed. The fact that she still cared about food meant it wasn't a big problem; this girl was quite optimistic. Xu Ya's personality was somewhat like Xu Ruo's—a rather straightforward girl. She hoped Xu Ya could find a job in a couple of days. It wasn't that she didn't want her to, but she was afraid that if she didn't push her, Xu Ya would become lazy again and end up like her aunt, lazy and good-for-nothing.

"Okay, I'll cook a couple more dishes for you tonight to help you recover. Also, Mingkun should come back for dinner."

"Sis, I feel like you and Kun are becoming more and more like a married couple. You're like someone who's cooking delicious meals at home and waiting for their husband to come home and eat."

"Alright, stop teasing your sister. Do you want to eat or not?" Yun Shu glared at her, annoyed that she dared to make fun of her.

Xu Ya immediately put on an innocent look and chuckled.

The two went to the kitchen to cook dinner. They thought Mingkun would come over for dinner that evening, so Yunshu had bought quite a lot of groceries. But they had only cooked half of it when their phone rang again. It was Mingkun calling.

Mingkun said with some guilt, "Yunshu, Grandma Jinyuan fell and got hurt. I won't be home for dinner tonight. You guys eat by yourselves."

"Okay... I understand. Should I go visit him later?" Yun Shu asked worriedly. If Ming Kun went there in person, he must be seriously injured.

"No need, you can come visit Grandma tomorrow when you go to work. By the way, it's at the First People's Hospital where you work."

"Yes! I expected that."

Yun Shu hung up the phone and immediately remembered who Jin Yuan's grandmother was.
