In the end, she didn't agree to help me, but she didn't say no either. After dinner, I took her to the town and let her stay in a hotel. Although the hotel conditions in the town were not good, they were quite clean and more convenient than staying at our house. We chatted in the guest room until after ten o'clock, and then I left.
The shop was closed during the Chinese New Year and only opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so I went straight home. When I entered the door, my mother was waiting for me and asked me what was going on. I told her the truth that I had not contacted her before and it was Shen Bing who came to my door herself.
My mother said to me earnestly, "Xiaofeng, you are grown up now, you have to make your own decision on what to do. To be honest, I like Shen Bing very much. If she doesn't mind that we are from the countryside, I have no objection."
I felt warm inside after hearing these words. I held my mother's hand and said, "Mom, I know you are in a difficult situation. We are from the same town, and breaking off the engagement may hurt the relationship. Let's not talk about this during the New Year, let's put it aside for now."
Mom sighed, "You're thinking of me. I'm glad you did. I'm just afraid that he's from the provincial capital, just like Yaxue three years ago. If he doesn't stay in town with you, it will be a waste of joy in the end."
I thought it was definitely a false hope, and I still didn't know whether Shen Bing would be willing to help. I patted my mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I have my own ideas."
The next morning I got up early and ran to the hotel to pick up Shen Bing. Because the hotel was two streets away from my home, I was afraid that she would get lost again because she was unfamiliar with the place. When I arrived at the hotel door, I saw Fu Xueman and Shen Bing walking out, and I wondered what was going on.
Seeing me standing there in a daze, Fu Xueman chuckled and said, "This hotel is also owned by Fan Xiaobing, and it happened to be my turn on duty this morning. Someone said that a beautiful woman stayed here on the night of New Year's Day, so I guessed it was Shen Bing, so I came to take a look."
It seems that she is in a good mood today, not jealous at all. This generosity makes me look at her with a new perspective. In fact, I know almost nothing about Xue Man. I only know that she likes blue sky and white clouds and reading poems. I saw her jealous and resentful behavior at the dinner table yesterday. I thought she was a shocking and narrow-minded girl. I didn't know she also had a generous and tolerant side.
I said "Oh", "What does your shift have to do with Fan Xiaobing running a hotel?" In fact, I didn't even know what shift she was on, looking at my fiancé's job.
Fu Xueman looked at me with a bit of resentment, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I am an accountant in Fan Xiaobing's company. I am on duty on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Do you know now?"
After she said that, I finally understood that I was working under Fan Xiaobing. This Fan Xiaobing is the richest man in our town. He owns the sauna, KTV, and restaurant businesses. It's a small town, and he still has a company. A little cat with a word "king" written on its head is still a little cat, and it can never become a little tiger.
Fu Xueman also said that she was afraid that Shen Bing would get lost, so she took her to my house. Now that I was here, she was no longer needed. She went back to her duty, smiled and waved to us and left. I looked at her from behind and felt very puzzled. This girl is really fickle. In addition, we only spent three serious times together today (not counting the time at her house), but she gave me three different impressions. Which one is the real her
