When Ye Ming heard Wang Xiuguang say that he wanted to pay himself, he hurriedly said: "Mayor Wang, I'm going to see Secretary Lu, so I should bring him some gifts. Besides, I can be said to be a complete expert in appreciating antique poetry and paintings." A layman doesn't even know how to care for and maintain this famous painting, but Secretary Lu is a master of calligraphy and painting, and he also knows the value of this painting. He should know how to protect this painting and how to appreciate it. As the saying goes, "Swords are given to heroes, red pink are given to beauties." I will give it to Secretary Lu, not only to repay his kindness to me, but also to help this famous painting find a good owner who really understands it. , right? So, don’t talk about giving me money. Don’t worry, as long as I see Secretary Lu, I will definitely talk about your matter carefully and try to let him eliminate his misunderstanding about you. ,"
Just as he finished his last sentence, the cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang. When he took it out, he saw that it was Xia Chuchu calling.
"Country bumpkin, Wang Xu and I are engaged the day after tomorrow. I'm going to set up a few tables of wine at the Chutian Hotel and invite some relatives and friends to attend. After much thought, you can be considered one of my friends, even though you have no conscience and have repeatedly Bully me, but I am a generous person and I am not going to care about your things. How about you, would you like to come to my engagement party?"
"Ah, really, Chu Chu, you are going to get engaged so soon,"
Ye Ming was shocked when he heard the news, and his surprised tone even startled Xu Fei next to him.
Xia Chuchu also felt his surprise. She smiled proudly and said teasingly: "Why, you are surprised and regret it. Country bumpkin, let me tell you something: if there are flowers that can be cut off, they must be cut off. Don't wait." No flowers, no flowers, no branches. If you came to chase me a month ago, I might have agreed to you, but now, you are just like Xia Haoyu on the romantic hand-holding show that day, holding a large bouquet of diamond roses and kneeling in front of me to beg me. , it’s already too late,”
Ye Ming forced a smile and said: "Chu Chu, congratulations to you, I happen to be coming to the provincial capital tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is Uncle Li's birthday. I want to accompany him to a birthday dinner, so I may not be able to come to your engagement party, but, I can bring Qiqi here and ask her to bless you on my behalf, okay?"
"No, you can't bring Chen Mengqi here. If you want to come to my engagement party, come alone. If you bring Chen Mengqi here, I will never pay attention to you for the rest of my life. It's up to you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone with an angry bang.
Ye Ming smiled bitterly, thinking that you are already engaged to Wang Xu, so what's the point of ignoring me for the rest of your life.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the words that Xia Chuchu said to him before leaving when he went to Xia Chuchu's house for dinner and pretended to be her boyfriend: "Before I am 29 years old, as long as you still If I don't marry Chen Mengqi or another girl, I will always wait for you,"
When he thought of her promise, Ye Ming shook his head and sighed secretly, thinking that a woman's heart is really unpredictable. Sometimes it's sunny and sometimes it's cloudy, sometimes she's steadfast in her vows, and sometimes she's heartless.
Although he knows that Xia Chuchu is not his type, men are very strange emotional animals: they don't cherish things that they feel are easy to get; but once they are really lost, they feel a little pity. ,,Ye Ming has exactly this kind of mentality towards Xia Chuchu now...
Xu Fei also heard what Ye Ming said on the phone and asked in surprise: "Xiaoye, what did you just say? Chu Chu invited you to attend her engagement party. This seems unlikely. I will go home on Sunday. I even went to Director Xia’s house, but I didn’t hear them talk about it,”
Xu Fei had always hoped that Ye Ming would find Xia Chuchu as his girlfriend. Although he knew that he now had Chen Mengqi by his side, deep down in his heart he still vaguely hoped that Ye Ming would change his mind and eventually marry Xia Chuchu. In that case, for Ye Ming , which will be of great benefit to your future in the Local Taxation Bureau.
Therefore, after hearing that Xia Chuchu was getting engaged, he was as surprised as Ye Ming.
In order to confirm the authenticity of this matter, he called Wang Yaozhong, director of the provincial bureau office: Wang Yaozhong took the initiative at Director Xia's house almost every day, and he also had a good relationship with Xia Chuchu. If Xia Chuchu wanted to get engaged, he should be very interested. It's clear, and he will definitely help Director Xia's family with the engagement matters.
After Wang Yaozhong received his call, he was surprised and said: "Director Xu, who did you hear that Chu Chu is getting engaged? There is no such thing. If she is getting engaged, Director Xia will definitely tell me,"
When Xu Fei heard Wang Yaozhong's answer, he immediately understood that Xia Chuchu was deliberately testing Ye Ming, so he thanked Wang Yaozhong with a smile, turned to Ye Ming and said, "Xiaoye, you have been fooled by that ghost girl Chu Chu." Oh, what kind of ghost marriage did she have, it’s just a lie,”
It turned out that, just as Xu Fei expected, Xia Chuchu originally called Ye Ming to ask when he would go to the provincial capital to celebrate Li Runji's birthday. But as soon as the call was connected, she had a prank idea and wanted to trick Ye Ming. After a while, she said that she was getting engaged to see how the country bumpkin would react and to test whether he had any feelings for her.
The result of the test made her very satisfied: Ye Ming was not only as surprised as she expected, but also, she seemed to hear a sour taste in his tone, and this sour tone, This is really what she likes to hear from Ye Ming the most: because this way, it proves that he still cares about her and is still a little reluctant to be engaged to someone else. With this judgment, she feels full of confidence in herself. He and Ye Ming have a bright future full of longing and expectations...
So, she decided to keep pretending. Even if Ye Ming came tomorrow, she would continue to say that she was getting engaged, just to make him angry and sour to death...
However, she did not expect that her little trick would be exposed by Xu Fei with just a phone call. She was still imagining in her heart: what he would ask her when she met Ye Ming tomorrow; his jealous expression, What does it look like? If he suddenly can't let go of her and asks herself not to be engaged to Wang Xu, how should she answer him...
After Ye Ming heard Xu Fei say that he had been fooled by Xia Chuchu, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible for Xia Chuchu to get engaged to Wang Xu so soon: because she had told herself personally that she had no feelings for Wang Xu at all. , and repeatedly mocked him as a "turtle".
