Chapter 483 The resentful Chen Xueru!
Chapter 483 The resentful Chen Xueru!
When she first saw Jia Dongming, Chen Xueru was pleasantly surprised from the bottom of her heart. But when she heard Jia Dongming's introduction and thought of his promise, she immediately looked at him with resentment and complained to him with some dissatisfaction, "Brother Dongming! You promised me that when you were free, you would come to my shop and order a few sets of clothes. But you left and never came back. If I hadn't come to see Xu Huizhen today, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that you were drinking here."
Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru have been good friends for many years. When Xu Huizhen saw Chen Xueru unconsciously revealed an expression of surprise when she saw Jia Dongming, Xu Huizhen was not surprised at first. Until she saw Chen Xueru looking at Jia Dongming with resentment on her face, Xu Huizhen, who knew Chen Xueru's character very well, immediately realized that Chen Xueru was obviously attracted to the man in front of her.
When Jia Dongming heard Chen Xueru's complaints and saw her resentful look, he immediately felt overwhelmed. He explained a little embarrassedly, "Boss Chen! I have been so busy at work recently, and it is the end of the year, that I forgot what I promised you."
When Chen Xueru heard Jia Dongming's excuse, she immediately realized that Jia Dongming was deliberately avoiding her. She then asked him dissatisfiedly, "Brother Dongming! You just said that you had a lot of things to do during the New Year, so you forgot what you promised me. If that's the case, why did you come here today instead of coming to my silk shop to find me, and come to Xu Huizhen's tavern instead?"
When Jia Dongming heard Chen Xueru's question, he thought of the purpose of his visit to the tavern and explained with a smile, "Boss Chen! This is a coincidence."
"The factories in Sijiu City are closed for the holidays now, but our security department has to stick to its posts. As the head of the security department, I have to check on the security department at irregular intervals every day."
"I just finished checking my posts this morning and was about to go for a walk to feel the New Year atmosphere in our city. Before I knew it, I came to Qianmen Street and saw that your silk shop was closed, but the tavern was still open. I thought about going to the tavern for a drink to warm myself up before going home. But I had just sat down when you came."
After hearing Jia Dongming's explanation, Chen Xueru thought of her silk shop which had closed long ago, and she no longer wondered why Jia Dongming came to Qianmen Street and did not go to the silk shop to find her, but instead went to the tavern to drink.
Chen Xueru looked at the man she had been thinking about day and night, and immediately shouted to Xu Huizhen who was standing beside her: "Xu Huizhen! Bring me a pot of good wine. I want to have a few drinks with Brother Dongming today."
From what Chen Xueru said to Jia Dongming and the expression on her face while she spoke, Xu Huizhen was able to be completely certain that her best friend was 100% in love with the man in front of her.
If Jia Dongming was not married, Xu Huizhen would be happy to facilitate this matter, but Jia Dongming is already a married man, and Xu Huizhen naturally does not want her best friend to end up hurt by love because of her love-brained mind.
When Xu Huizhen heard what Chen Xueru said, she did not say anything to stop her. Instead, she looked at the two of them meaningfully and then went to get Chen Xueru some wine.
After watching Xu Huizhen go to get the wine, Chen Xueru immediately said to Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! Last time you promised me that you would come to see me when you were free, but you were gone for two or three months. In order to make up for my hurt heart, you must accompany me for a few drinks today." If it were any other day, Jia Dongming would definitely agree to Chen Xueru's request, but today was New Year's Eve, and Jia Dongming had promised Jia Zhang before he left home that he would go home to help post the couplets. When Jia Dongming faced Chen Xueru's request, he said to Chen Xueru with an apologetic look on his face: "Xueru! Before I left this morning, I promised my mother that I would go back early, so today I really can't accompany you to drink to your heart's content."
Jia Dongming said this, and seeing Chen Xueru's disappointed expression, he hesitated for a moment, then said to Chen Xueru: "Xueru! How about this? I'll come to see you on the third day of the junior high school, and then I'll drink with you until you're satisfied?"
When Chen Xueru heard Jia Dongming's answer, she immediately showed a disappointed expression on her face. Until she heard Jia Dongming say that he would come to see her on the third day of junior high school, her originally disappointed face suddenly showed an ecstatic expression. She quickly confirmed with Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! Is what you said true? Will you really come to see me on the third day of junior high school? You can't stand me up again like you did last time?"
When Jia Dongming heard Chen Xueru's question and saw her ecstatic expression, although he knew very well what Chen Xueru meant by that, he could only bite the bullet and answer, "Xueru! I was really too busy some time ago and couldn't spare the time to fulfill my promise. During the Chinese New Year, I won't have as many things to do as on weekdays, so I will naturally not break my promise again."
"Chen Xueru! This is the wine you wanted." Just when Chen Xueru was feeling happy about Jia Dongming's promise, Xu Huizhen came to the table with a wine jug and shouted to Chen Xueru.
When Chen Xueru heard Xu Huizhen's shout, she immediately took the wine pot and wine glass from Xu Huizhen. She first poured a glass of wine for Jia Dongming, and then poured a glass of wine for herself. Then she raised the wine glass and said to Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! Today is New Year's Eve, so I am here to wish you a happy Spring Festival, smooth work, and all the best in advance!"
When Jia Dongming heard Chen Xueru's congratulations, he raised the glass in front of him, smiled and gently clinked the glass with Chen Xueru's, and replied with a smile: "Boss Chen! Then I am here too, to congratulate you in advance, in the new year. May your business prosper, everything go well, and all your wishes come true!"
When Xu Huizhen saw Chen Xueru's happy face, she immediately realized that Jia Dongming must have promised Chen Xueru something when she went to get the wine. After watching the two of them drink the wine, she picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine for each of them, and said to them, "Chief Jia! Chen Xueru! I wish you a happy Spring Festival, and may all your wishes come true and everything goes well!"
When Jia Dongming heard Xu Huizhen's congratulations, he smiled and raised his glass, and said to Xu Huizhen, "Boss Xu! Thank you for your congratulations. I also wish your tavern more prosperous business in the new year. I also wish you all your wishes come true, everything goes well, and you are in good health."
When Chen Xueru heard Jia Dongming's blessing to Xu Huizhen, she immediately raised her glass and said to Xu Huizhen, "Xu Huizhen! I am also here to congratulate you. In the new year, your business will be more and more prosperous, and you will also be able to find a husband of your dreams!"
