1436 Returning to the Art Troupe
“Hahaha!” Song Dan leaned back on the sofa and guffawed. As he laughed, he said, “I’m just scaring you! I like women! It’s just that… you know what those women think of me and I’m quite resentful about that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have not thought of getting married for so many years.”
“Sigh… Of course I know about these things. Those women just don’t know how good a person you are! Why do you have to take their words to heart! All you’ve done is to waste a big part of your life,” Du Miao said indignantly.
“Sigh, it’s all in the past. Why do you get so angry about it? Let’s not talk about it!” Song Dan said.
“You should reconsider what I said. I’m not saying you must definitely end up with her. Can’t you just go and take a look at her first? Perhaps you’ll fall in love at first sight and be very fond of her!” Du Miao said.
“We haven’t contacted each other for so many years, so how do I get a chance to see her? Besides, we haven’t met for so many years, so there’s no reason for us to end up together the moment we meet again! This is such a lousy idea!” Song Dan said disdainfully.
“Let me think… and think again… I’ll go home and discuss it with your sister-in-law! Wait for my good news! Don’t drop the ball though! If you drop the ball, I’ll be the first one to come after you!” Du Miao pointed at Song Dan and warned him.
“Fine, fine, fine. I promise you, alright!” Song Dan shook his head helplessly.
Qiao Mei finally managed to get a few days of peace and quiet. Deng Fan had been busy at the factory in the suburbs and did not have any time for Xia He at all. He rarely even called her on the phone. In order to meet the deadline, Deng Fan even moved to stay with the workers. Once he was done with Qiao Mei’s project, it would not be long before the date of his wedding!
Xia He had been feeling a little annoyed for the past two days. She had not gone to work for a long time but was still spending a lot of money. She would empty out her savings soon at this rate.
“Stop pacing around. I’m getting dizzy. Tell me what’s wrong, don’t keep pacing around!” Qiao Mei said as she rubbed her temples.
“I’m thinking about whether I should go back to work,” Xia He said as she sat down next to Qiao Mei.
“If you want to go back to work, then go back. If you don’t want to go, then just stay here at my house comfortably. It’s not as if I can’t afford to feed you,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“As if you can take care of me for the rest of my life!” Xia He said.
“Why not! I have all these things. Isn’t it enough to support you?” Qiao Mei said generously as she pointed at the few antiques in the room.
“Tsk, I still want to be self-sufficient! It won’t be too late for you to support me when I’m too old to dance anymore!” Xia He said with a grin.
“I’m not going to support you! That’s not my job now~ With Big Brother Deng around, why should I worry about it? If he’s unable to support you, I’ll ask Xia Zhe to teach him a lesson!” Qiao Mei said.
“As if I can simply rely on a man! I must be self-sufficient! There’s a new performance coming up for trials tomorrow. I’ll go for the audition,” Xia He said.
“With your ability, you won’t face any problem!” Qiao Mei said happily.
The two of them joked around until late at night. Xia He had made an agreement with Qiao Mei that she would move out of Qiao Mei’s house after she and Deng Fan got married. After all, she had initially moved in to accompany Qiao Mei during the pregnancy and to help take care of the children after they were born.
The children were now growing up well under Feng Hua’s care and Qiao Mei was also recovering well. She stayed around only because she could not bear to leave this place. It was not for the material comforts, but because the children looked different every day. The two children may look tiny today but they would look different when she saw them the next week.
Perhaps the children were just babbling and mumbling today, but no one knew whether they would start humming a tune tomorrow. There was no way to predict anything.
In any case, they would not live too far from Qiao Mei’s place after they got married. She could still come back and visit often when she was free. It was still a much better situation from the past when she moved out of town after she got married.
Early the next morning, Xia He went to the art troupe after having breakfast. No one knew how the superiors heard about the incident of Yang Xin slandering Xia He, but they had gotten rid of Bian Ding and replaced him with a new troupe leader. Yang Xin had also left the art troupe without any explanation. Everyone in the troupe thought that it was the Xia family who orchestrated all these!
“Have you heard! Senior Xia He is coming today!” said a newbie, a young girl named Bai Dian.
