Chapter 1472 Getting Drunk
Chapter 1472 Getting Drunk
Qiao Mei had originally wanted to give Deng Fan a salary of 10,000 dollars by giving him something extra for the wedding. However, from the looks of it, 10,000 dollars seemed a little too much. It was better to just give him 5,000 dollars.
The two of them chatted until dawn before falling asleep in each other's arms. Qiao Mei started to miss Xia Zhe a little by now and wondered if he was doing well at the moment.
It had been a long time since Qiao Mei was last in contact with Xia Zhe. With so many things happening at home, she did not even have time to make something and send it over to Xia Zhe. They could not possibly be as affectionate when they first got married. Now that they had children and been married for a while, such formalities were not so important anymore.
When she had some free time, she would call Xia Mao and ask him if Xia Zhe's current mission location accepted deliveries. If it was really not possible, she would ask Xia Mao to get someone to send it over.
The next morning, Xia Wen went out very early and drove straight to Song Dan's house. He immediately saw a big bouquet of red roses in the courtyard. The flowers had already wilted though.
Last night, Song Dan asked Du Miao to go over to his place and the two of them had gotten drunk in the living room. Du Miao came up with many ideas for Song Dan, but he did not like any of them. He even thought about forcing Xia He to get married to him. Once he slept with her, she would definitely need to stay with him!
Xia Wen stood outside and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door, so he kicked the door open and entered. Song Dan and Du Miao woke up with a start.
"Damn it! Who are you!" Song Dan asked impatiently.
Du Miao rubbed his eyes and immediately recognized Xia Wen. His previously annoyed expression immediately changed into an amiable smile.
"Oh my, Brother Xia is here. Why didn't you tell us in advance? It's really embarrassing for you to see us like this," Du Miao said politely.
"What Brother Xia? Which Brother Xia? Even if the heavenly emperor is here, he can't smash the door in!" Song Dan said as he pointed at Xia Wen.
Du Miao hurriedly went forward and covered Song Dan's mouth. He whispered in Song Dan's ear, "Shut up! This is Xia He's brother, Xia Wen. Do you want to get married or not!"
"Oh, oh…" Song Dan immediately toned down his arrogance.
Xia Wen sat down on Song Dan's sofa and looked at Song Dan as he said, "The two of you know my sister, right? Did you do all the things that happened to my sister recently?"
"What are you saying, it's all fated," Du Miao said.
"So what if I like your sister! I want to marry her!" Song Dan said pompously.
Xia Wen sized up Song Dan. This man was not outstanding in terms of looks, but he was doing quite well in his career. His family background was not too good though, and both his personality and character were terrible. Such a person was not worthy of Xia He at all, yet he still had the cheek to say that he wanted to marry her.
"My sister is already engaged to be married. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept Mr. Song's kindness. When she gets married, she'll send some wedding candies to Mr. Song," Xia Wen replied politely.
Du Miao wanted to say something on Song Dan's behalf, but the moment Song Dan heard Xia Wen rejecting him, he got angry and pointed at Xia Wen as he questioned, "Why can't I marry Xia He? If she's engaged, it means that she's not married yet. What's there for me to be afraid of if she's still not married? Besides, I've already had that man investigated thoroughly. He's inferior to me in every way, so why shouldn't she choose me?"
"Since Mr. Song is such a good catch, then our Xia He is definitely not worthy of you. It's better to forget it," Xia Wen said sarcastically.
Du Miao wished that he could sew Song Dan's mouth shut. Song Dan just did not know when to stop. He even belittled Xia He in front of Xia Wen and made her sound worthless. By now, even if Xia He liked Song Dan and wanted to marry him, no one in the Xia family would agree to it.
"I just like Xia He! I'm flattering her by liking her! She has already been married before! How can she be so picky! Brother, just marry her to me. Don't worry, I'll definitely treat her well! I promise she'll be fine and dandy!" Song Dan said as he stood in front of Xia Wen unsteadily.
Xia Wen clenched his fists and wished that he could rush up and give Song Dan a good beating. Song Dan was the first person ever to badmouth Xia He in front of him. He would definitely remember this. If he did not take revenge, his surname would not be Xia!
"Um… Brother Xia, he has had too much to drink and is talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart!" Du Miao said awkwardly.
"He knows very well whether he's speaking the truth or not. I know it too," Xia Wen said moodily.
