Knowing the other one was a man, Shu Man became extremely cautious, while at this moment the man outside finally spoke.
“Miss Shu, can you come out for a while? Our sir has something for you.”
Shu Man paused, her slender eyebrows almost twisted together. She held her hands tightly, no surprise but doubt or even shock in her eyes.
Judging from the voice, the one standing outside the door seemed to be a teenager, possibly a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, whose voice was very clear, unlike a strong male voice.
She frowned and thought for a moment, and finally chose not to open the door. Why would a stranger give something to her? Besides, she had no pursuer now.
“You go, leave things in the guard room.” Shu Man shouted to the boy outside. But she didn’t know that it was actually a 25-year-old man who was standing outside.
A few seconds later, the sound of the man’s leaving footsteps came from outside the door, which finally put Shu Man’s hanging heart in its place. In recent years, burglary did happen sometimes. Always careful and cautious, she would not possibly open the door for strangers. As for the thing the man talked about, she would go to pick it in the evening.
After the man left, Shu Man returned to her bedroom, where there was an unfinished design. Her job was a university teacher, who had only eight classes one week. Of course, her salary was not high, only 7,000 to 8,000 yuan one month. In a big city like Ye City, it was not enough to cover her family expenses. That was to say, she only got a good reputation. What was worse, her mother had to take medicine worth several hundred yuan every day.
She did not want to go to university at first, but her mother always persuaded her that girls should have a stable job in order to live a stable life in the future and find a good partner. Fortunately, she loved drawing pictures since elementary school, and she minored in design as well. Now she was a part-time designer of a jewelry company. With one design getting passed, she would earn at least tens of thousand yuan. Therefore, if she could finish five or six pieces a year and get them passed, there would be at least two to three million yuan.
“Manman…” Suddenly, Mrs. Shu pushed the bedroom door open, standing there.
Shu Man was drawing an important stroke. Interrupted by her mother, she became a little annoyed.
“What’s wrong?” She looked back at her mother.
Mrs. Shu said, “I forget to tell you that I promised Aunt Li downstairs yesterday. She said she would bring her nephew here to have dinner with us today. Her nephew is 30 years old. I have seen his photo. He looked good. He is a doctor in medicine, now working in Ye City Central Hospital as a doctor.”
Mrs. Shu said so with a big smile. She now simply hoped that her daughter would find a partner back soon. And she preferred such kind of boy with high-quality and a stable job. However, her daughter had always been indifferent to arranged dating, so she had to take the initiative to help her daughter find good targets.
Shu Man didn’t even blink her eyes.
“No!” She responded with one word coldly and went on with the design in her hand.
Mrs. Shu sighed heavily, but unwilling to go away. “Manman, I have promised them, so they must come for dinner. You get to know him first. Anyway, if you don’t like him, just say it is not appropriate.”
“Mom, you always like to make your own decisions without consulting me!” Shu Man turned around, looking at her mother with a sense of reproach, and continued, “I have told you that I will not get married!”
Shu Man’s tone was very serious, her black eyes turning cold to the extreme.
