Li Xiulan
The next day, early in the morning, Du Xiaojuan woke up late. This time she didn't make breakfast, but went straight to work at the Company. There was something urgent there, and she had to go handle it immediately.
Wang Dashan went by himself to the breakfast shop Downstairs and ate a rice noodle roll, then went to Gangding to find Zhang Zhihao and Wang Erhai.
He had already resigned from the Real Estate Agency, was bored with nothing to do, so he went over there to take a look.
When he arrived, Wang Erhai saw him and immediately called out with a smile:
"Big Brother, how come you came alone? Where's Sister-in-law?"
These past few days Wang Dashan had been staying at Du Xiaojuan's Apartment. This made Wang Erhai feel that the matter between his Big Brother and Du Xiaojuan had definitely succeeded.
"She has an urgent matter at the Company, she went to work early this morning."
Wang Dashan answered honestly, then asked Zhang Zhihao:
"Hao Ge, how's business lately?"
Zhang Zhihao passed over a Cigarette:
"Same as always, not bad, not good!"
Then he asked with a smile:
"When do you two plan to get married? I'm waiting to drink the wedding wine!"
Wang Dashan laughed dryly:
"It's still very early, the Eight Characters don't even have a single stroke yet!"
To tell the truth, ever since learning the fact that Du Xiaojuan had two ex-boyfriends, Wang Dashan's impulse to marry her wasn't that strong anymore.
Now he only thought in his heart: let's date for a while first and see; as for later, he couldn't say for sure either.
Him having this mentality could only explain one cruel yet realistic fact: that he suddenly didn't love Du Xiaojuan that much anymore.
"Xiao Juan is a good girl. She can absolutely become a virtuous wife. You, brat, must cherish her. If you miss out, it'll be a pity!"
Zhang Zhihao spoke like this.
Although he was still a single dog, he was confident his eye for people was still quite accurate.
Du Xiaojuan had a good temper, knew tolerance, and was also beautiful. In many men's eyes, this indeed already counted as a good girl!
In Wang Dashan's eyes she also counted as a good girl. Only pity was, the flaw in the jade was that Du Xiaojuan had two ex-boyfriends. This point was always a knot in Wang Dashan's heart.
To tell the truth, he still found it difficult to accept this fact now.
"Good my ass. She had two boyfriends before."
Wang Dashan suddenly couldn't help but blurt out this sentence.
This made both Zhang Zhihao and Wang Erhai stunned.
"No way. She looks so pure to me!"
Wang Erhai immediately exclaimed.
He felt Du Xiaojuan was a very pure girl. He even opened his mouth to call her Eldest Sister-in-law. This showed he very much accepted Du Xiaojuan.
Zhang Zhihao, after a moment of stupor, spoke lightly:
"What does that matter? She's so outstanding. Isn't it very normal that other men pursued her before?"
He also advised Wang Dashan:
"Brother, listen to me. Don't be so conservative in your thinking. Don't care about those things. Du Xiaojuan will help your career reach the next level!"
Wang Dashan, however, sighed:
"I'm not minding it. I just feel it's unfair. This is my first time dating, but she's already had two men... Besides, if I want my career to reach the next level, being with Cheng Cheng would help me even more..."
Wang Dashan involuntarily compared Du Xiaojuan and Cheng Cheng.
Before, he felt that no matter how much money Cheng Cheng had, she couldn't compare to Du Xiaojuan.
But now that he knew Du Xiaojuan had two exes, comparing carefully again, he discovered that besides Du Xiaojuan being a bit younger than Cheng Cheng, everything else was not as good as Cheng Cheng.
Financially she wasn't even one-tenth of Cheng Cheng. In looks and figure, Cheng Cheng maintained herself very well and wasn't inferior to her. In personality, Cheng Cheng was also very gentle, virtuous, and considerate. Even many things didn't need him to open his mouth; Cheng Cheng could handle them to his heart's content.
In this world, no matter what thing, the most taboo is comparison.
Once you compare, problems appear.
And now Wang Dashan had undoubtedly committed this major taboo.
He even felt some regret in his heart. How could he have been impulsive back then and deleted all of Cheng Cheng's Contact Information?
"Brother, settle your mindset. Nowadays thinking is open. Among girls who come to the City to struggle, how many haven't experienced the matters of men and women? Wanting to find a first-hand goods isn't easy. And even if you found one, you'd probably dislike them for being prone to tantrums, not knowing tolerance, and making unreasonable trouble."
Zhang Zhihao regarded Wang Dashan as a good friend. That's why he persuaded him so earnestly.
Friendship between men is like this. Towards brothers and friends, they generally persuade reconciliation, not separation. Unlike friendship between women. Those so-called Best Friends only fan the flames, persuade separation, not reconciliation.
Additionally, Zhang Zhihao's earnest persuasion had another important reason.
That was that he and Du Xiaojuan had long agreed. When Wang Dashan returned after Spring Festival to start the Company, they would invest in Wang Dashan's Company.
If at this time Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan fell out, the Company probably couldn't start. That would disrupt his plans.
"Hao Ge, what you say is reasonable. Rest assured, I'm just momentarily finding it hard to accept. I won't break up with Xiao Juan. Since I'm already together with her, I'll be responsible to her."
Wang Dashan spoke like this.
He didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so he turned back and asked Wang Erhai: "Second Brother, when do you plan to go back for Spring Festival?"
Wang Erhai said:
"Whenever you go back, I'll go back then."
Wang Erhai said:
"I've already bought the basketball. When we return to our hometown, we'll go play basketball together with my little brother!"
Wang Dashan nodded:
"Good!"
Remembering the time when the three brothers played basketball together, Wang Dashan felt that those days were truly good—carefree, even though they were poor, they were happy.
"By the way, Big Brother, is Sister-in-law coming back too?"
Wang Dashan said:
"She's coming back too, but she'll probably leave after staying two days, since she still has to return to her own hometown."
Wang Dashan added:
"She has a car, so we can just take her car back together."
Wang Erhai laughed:
"That's great, that would be much more convenient!"
Driving back was indeed much more convenient. Although Guangzhou wasn't very far from Shanggou Village, especially after the Jingzhu Expressway opened, the journey was greatly shortened; taking the expressway, they could reach Shanggou Village directly in a little over two hours.
But if they took a long-distance bus back, it would still be very inconvenient and very troublesome.
Because taking a long-distance bus required going to the bus station to catch one; after reaching the County Town, they had to transfer to a bus to the Town, and then transfer again from the Town to Home.
The whole trip might take four or five hours, or even longer.
In the evening, Wang Dashan told Du Xiaojuan about taking her car back for the Spring Festival.
Originally thinking this was a small matter, Wang Dashan just needed to say a word.
After all, if Du Xiaojuan's small sedan wasn't driven back, it would just sit idle.
But unexpectedly, Du Xiaojuan showed a troubled expression:
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I promised my brother yesterday that for the Spring Festival I'd lend him the car, so he can drive it to a blind date."
