The car was a black Passsat. Under the streetlights, the license plate " XX25252 " was clearly visible.
It was Xu Wenhao's car.
Xia Mang's heart felt as if it had been hit by a blunt object. He could not help but hold his breath. It was a moment of excruciating pain, and it took him a long time to recover. The car was parked under a street lamp. The lights in the car were off. Under the dim yellow light of the street lamp, the person in the driver's seat was also looking at Xia Mang.
" Xia Zi…" Although they were not close, Xia Mang could see Xu Wenhao sitting in the car, his mouth opening and closing as he called her name.
Xiamang's heart ached, and she turned around to open the door.
"Xia Zi." Xu Wenhao didn't expect to see Xia Mang, let alone see Xia Mang and Xiao Linghui together. He called out to Xia Zi. When he saw Xia Mang turn around to open the security door, he instinctively got out of the car and walked over quickly.
Xiamang's hand stopped. Xiao Linghui glanced at the two of them and said softly,"I'm going back first, Sammy."
"I don't want to." Xiamang instinctively reached out and grabbed Xiao Linghui's sleeve. For a moment, even she herself did not understand why she would do such a thing.
Xiao Linghui was slightly stunned. His heart softened, and a smile appeared on his face. He reached out to hold Xiamang's hand and nodded.
"Xia Zi." Xu Wenhao stared at Xiamang and Xiao Linghui's hands. Under the dim yellow street lamp, his face was drunk.
"You're going to be the groom tomorrow. Why do you still have the time to come downstairs?”In Xia Mang's opinion, Xu Wenhao's actions were somewhat inexplicable and made her angry. Although she was still sad about his wedding tomorrow, it did not mean that he could still be entangled with her with his current identity. Although Xiamang did not want to break up, they had already come this far, so he did not want to drag things out.
Xu Wenhao staggered slightly when he heard that. The pain in his eyes made Xiao Linghui, who was at the side, feel a little sorry. To be precise, no one told Xiao Linghui about the cause and effect of Xiamang and Xu Wenhao's breakup, but Xiao Linghui could easily guess the reason from Xu Wenhao's marriage. Therefore, although he couldn't bear it, Xiao Linghui wouldn't help.
"Can you give us a few words in private?”Xu Wenhao also looked at Xiao Linghui and said.
Before Xiao Linghui could answer, Xiamang had already answered,"I have nothing to say to you, and Ah Hui doesn't have to avoid suspicion.”
" Xia Zi…" Xu Wenhao shifted his gaze to Xia Mang. The pain in his eyes seemed to be even more intense than the pain in Xia Mang's heart.
"Mr. Xu, it's getting late. If you're here to show off, you should go back, right? I won't be attending tomorrow's wedding banquet. I'm not that generous.”
There won't be a wedding tomorrow." Xu Wenhao couldn't care less about Xiao Linghui's question. He took a few steps closer and reached out to hold Xia Mang's hand.
Xia Mang dodged and retreated to Xiao Linghui's side. Instead, she grabbed Xiao Linghui's arms with both hands. However, he felt an unbearable anger in his heart and the humiliation of being deceived again."Xu Wenhao, who are you? Why are you saying such things at this time? Whether you get married or not, I have nothing to do with you since the incident with Chu Ning. You are nothing to me now. You are even worse than a stranger.”
"Xia Zi…"
"You ruined this relationship with your own hands. Do you want me to continue loving you?”
"Xia Zi, I didn't register with Chu Ning, and I won't marry her.”Xu Wenhao took another step forward and reached out to hold Xia Mang's hand. As the distance between them got closer, the smell of alcohol on his body became stronger.
"Enough!" Xia Mang waved her hand and finally couldn't help but shout," Don't be crazy here. There's no point in saying all this. I don't want to see you again. Tell Chu Ning not to appear in front of me again." If possible, I hope that neither of you will be happy.”
" Xia Zi..." Xu Wenhao's voice was filled with heart-palpitating pain, and his expression seemed to have completely collapsed in an instant.
"Sammy." Xiao Linghui reached out and gently hugged Xiamang. At this moment, he did not sympathize with Xu Wenhao, but his heart ached for Xiamang. How painful must Xiamang be to say such words? Xiamang only reached out to hug Xiao Linghui and cried hard in his arms.
Xia Mang didn't know when Xu Wenhao left. She only knew that when she finally calmed down, Xu Wenhao had already disappeared with his car.
"Thank you, Hui." That night, Xiamang thanked Xiao Linghui for the second time.
"Sammy, don't shed another tear for that man. He's not worth it.”Xiao Linghui looked at Xia Mang with naked heartache and love in his eyes. He reached out to wipe the tears from Xia Mang's face.
'Ah Hui…' Xiao Linghui's hands were warm and dry, and his fingers were slender and clean. Since he was young, his hands had comforted and protected Xiamang countless times. This time, Xiamang seemed to feel something other than comfort and protection. Perhaps it was just an illusion, Xiamang thought. Although she always complained that Xiao Linghui's hands had touched too many unclean things during his medical studies, there was no doubt that these hands could still give her a sense of peace.
Xia Mang remembered that when she was very young, before the community was demolished and newly built, this was still a row of old houses. Xia Mang and Xiao Linghui lived here. There were several steps along the river to form a river dock for everyone to wash things. At that time, the elders liked to go to the river to wash clothes. Xiamang also liked to play by the river. She sprinkled some rice from the rice basket and dipped it into the water to catch small fish. Once, Xia Mang was too happy and accidentally slipped into the river. She choked on a few mouthfuls of water. Xiao Linghui was the first to rush over and reach out to pull her back. At that time, although Xiao Linghui was still a child, the confidence and peace of mind that his hands gave Xia Mang was enough to make Xia Mang unforgettable.
On Saturday, Dad Xia was away for a lecture, and Mom Xia was working overtime. Xia Mang was the only one at home. They did not know that Xu Wenhao was getting married today. Since Xu Wenhao and Xiamang were not fated, they no longer cared about this person. Other than Xiamang's abnormal behavior last night, their daughter was very strong.
Xiamang invited Ye 'zi, Bai Bai, and Yanyan over for dinner and went to the supermarket to buy groceries before the three of them arrived. Xiamang was in charge of buying groceries, Ye 'zi was in charge of cooking, and Yanyan was in charge of tidying up and cleaning the house, so there was no need to worry about the house being in chaos. Besides, Xiamang was afraid that it would be too quiet on this day. It was a good opportunity for the four of them to come up with ideas for Ye 'zi. They could help Bai Bai analyze the best man and put Yanyan's affair on the agenda.
As Ye 'zi knew how to cook, Xiao Linghui was forgotten by Xiamang.
She had only taken a few steps downstairs when she almost collided with an oncoming car. Xiamang patted her frightened little heart and was about to loudly reprimand the driver who was still " racing " when she looked up and saw the flamboyant and eye-catching Ferrari. For some reason, when Xia Mang saw the car and the person sitting in it, she ran back immediately.
"Sammy!" Cheng Mo walked to Xia Mang's side when she was busy opening the door. A smile appeared on his face, and he found Xia Mang a little cute, funny, and funny.
"What's the matter?" Xiamang gave up on opening the door and blamed himself for his failure to escape.
"The wedding banquet at the Kaiyuan Hall of the BMT Hotel has been canceled.”Cheng Mo's words seemed irrelevant, but Xia Mang was shocked when she heard them.
The Kaiyuan Hall of the BMT Hotel was where Xu Wenhao and Chu Ning's wedding was held.
"What are you trying to say?" Xia Mang felt a buzzing sound in her head as Xu Wenhao's words from last night echoed in her ears." There won't be a wedding tomorrow." What did Cheng Mo know? What did he want to tell her by running over like this?
She didn't want to care about Xu Wenhao and Chu Ning's conflict anymore. She didn't want to care at all. Therefore, whether the wedding was held or canceled today had nothing to do with her.
"I heard that the groom got into a car accident last night.”Cheng Mo looked at Xia Mang thoughtfully.
The sudden dizziness made Xiamang reach out to hold the door.
"Sammy?"
"I'm going to buy groceries." Rather than saying that to Cheng Mo, Xia Mang was saying that to herself. Ever since last night, or perhaps after she found out about Xu Wenhao and Chu Ning's relationship and decided to break up, Xiamang had made up her mind not to care about Xu Wenhao anymore. From then on, his matters and his person had nothing to do with her. So now, she had to persist and tell herself that whatever happened to Xu Wenhao, whether he was good or bad, had nothing to do with her.
Cheng Mo didn't say anything for a while. He followed behind Xia Mang silently and looked at him from time to time. The matter between Xiamang and Xu Wenhao wasn't difficult. Cheng Mo had also received an invitation to Xu Wenhao's wedding banquet tonight. Henglong Real Estate had always had a good relationship with the government. Cheng Mo and Yu Weitao had interacted with Director Xu, who was Xu Wenhao's father, on many occasions. They had even played golf together. Logically speaking, both parties would be polite and maintain a good relationship.
Xia Mangwei was a little dazed. To be honest, when she heard that Xu Wenhao had gotten into a car accident and called off the wedding, even though she had told herself that it had nothing to do with her, it was still a human instinct and habit. Xia Mang felt that she was right to be cold to Xu Wenhao, but it did not mean that she was cold-blooded. She didn't think it was a wise choice to call Xu Wenhao now, but she was indeed a little worried. She wasn't sure if Xu Wenhao's car accident had anything to do with what happened last night, but at least it wasn't a bad thing to confirm Xu Wenhao's current situation through others.
"Is he alright?" This world was really strange. Now, the news between her and Xu Wenhao was actually transmitted through Cheng Mo, the male lead of her first encounter with an Ox in her life.
"If you can't let go, why don't you call and ask yourself?”Cheng Mo's words had a deeper meaning.
Xia Mang stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and continued walking. That's right, when they meet again in the future, whether it was a stranger or a faint smile as if nothing had happened, she would not have to pay her care and sincerity again. In other words, no matter whether Xu Wenhao's car accident last night was an accident, because of drinking, or because of their conversation last night, Xiamang felt that he did not do anything wrong and did not have to feel guilty.
Xia Mang had a strange feeling. Although he had repeatedly told himself that whether Xu Wenhao and Chu Ning were doing well or not had nothing to do with him, and he had generously expressed his blessings to them in front of others, when he heard that the wedding was canceled, he thought about what Wenhao had said last night, and coupled with Chu Ning's repeated provocations, Xia Mang suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction after venting.
Sometimes, people were always like this. Even if a relationship had come to an end, or even if the other party had already started a new relationship, they still subconsciously hoped that the other party loved them the most. They hoped that the previous relationship was the only one in the other party's life.
"Chairman Cheng, are you so free today?" Xia Mang glanced at Cheng Mo from the corner of her eyes and said with a twitch of her lips," Sending a message is such a small matter. Chairman Cheng can just send a message.”
"In fact, from last night until tomorrow night, I'm very free.”Cheng Mo seemed to be in a good mood and didn't seem to be affected by last night. His tone was relaxed and he even had a smile on his face.
Xia Mang's face darkened. She thought of the phone call Xiao Linghui picked up for her last night. Cheng Mo was probably downstairs at that time. Sigh, she really miscalculated on her business trip last time. If this guy came to her house to ask her out, her parents would definitely find out about the problem very quickly. Xia Mang ignored him and went straight into the supermarket. She glanced at Cheng Mo from the corner of her eye and wanted to kick him to Siberia.
However, she couldn't possibly restrict him from entering the supermarket, could she? All she could do was ignore it.
Xiamang's logic was that there were four people, so there was no need to think about what to buy. Anyway, if one person didn't like a dish, there would always be someone among the other three who liked it. Moreover, when Xia Mang ordered food during a meal, everyone should have realized that there was no concept of " repetition " in Xia Mang's logic. Therefore, when Xia Mang first heard about this from Cheng Mo, she was very surprised.
Cheng Mo was walking silently beside Xia Mang, but he couldn't help but say,""You bought so many fish. Don't you think it's too repetitive? Or do you want to have an all-fish feast?"
Xia Mang, who had witnessed Cheng Mo's cooking a few days ago, had no choice but to turn around and re-evaluate the people around her. Thinking of the delicious food on his birthday, Xia Mang tried to sound him out."Why are you following me?"
"I'll buy groceries with you." Cheng Mo answered frankly.
"Then why did you express your opinion? Instead of voicing your opinion, why don't you do it yourself?”Xia Mang tried her best to speak calmly, hoping that Cheng Mo wouldn't find out about her little thoughts." Four people, not men."”
After a moment of shock, Cheng Mo was actually filled with joy. He pretended not to know Xia Mang's little trick and willingly let her order him around. After returning a few plates of fish that Xiamang had chosen earlier, she happily began to pair the dishes. Speaking of which, our Chairman Cheng doesn't seem like someone who cooks often. After all, this doesn't match his identity and background. However, it's really strange that he's so good at doing these things.
'It must be a trick to pick up girls.' Xia Mang had a dark guess in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. She felt that Cheng Mo was despicable. It was a very righteous thing to have the opportunity to order despicable people around and make them sweat without getting paid. Xia Mang didn't pursue the matter of why she didn't scold Cheng Mo and even relied on him. She also wouldn't admit that relying on Cheng Mo at this time was a matter that saved her a lot of effort and made her feel relaxed.
