Chapter 505: He Jiaxiao Has a New Girlfriend

~11 min read 2,043 words

Peng Xiaoyuan turned her head away and ignored me again. I was happy to be quiet; girls like this are the hardest to deal with. If she can shut her mouth, I'll be lucky.

Halfway through the journey, Peng Xiaoyuan couldn't help it anymore, glared at me fiercely, and said, "Do you have no manners at all? Not saying a word for so long, what's the meaning of that?"

I couldn't laugh or cry, accompanied her with a smile, and said, "Sorry, I didn't know what to say."

"Anything!" She shifted her gaze, scanned the whole carriage, and asked me in a low voice, "Are you from Hengyue City?"

I nodded in acknowledgment.

This nod was like lighting a fire; she stood up from her seat and shouted to Section Chief Mei Hua, "Brother Mei, I want to switch seats with you."

Mei Hua turned his head and asked strangely, "Why switch seats for no reason?"

"Just switch." She held onto the back of the seat, moved to Mei Hua's side, grabbed him, and pushed him toward me.

Mei Hua sat down helplessly, turned his head to look at me, and asked, "What's wrong? Why switch seats suddenly?"

I shook my head, looking innocent, "I don't understand either!"

I really didn't understand. This little girl was fiery, and her speech didn't seem to have a gatekeeper. This personality was a bit like Pan Xiaoqin from Suxi.

"Xiao Yuan is the daughter of Principal Peng of the Party School, she has this personality, don't mind it," Mei Hua explained, "This girl is hateful toward evil. She is currently a student at the Normal University, studying vocal music. She will graduate next year."

I said "Oh" and looked at Peng Xiaoyuan, finding that she didn't pay attention to my two gazes behind her back at all, leaning on the seat alone, not saying a word.

"Is she also going to watch the performance with us?" I still couldn't help asking Mei Hua.

"Yes!" Mei Hua smiled slightly, "This Xue Bing, don't underestimate her. After coming to the province, she performed a few times and actually won the praise of countless university students. This woman has a golden voice; whatever song she sings, it's simply like celestial music, making people intoxicated." He quietly pointed to Peng Xiaoyuan in the front row and said in a low voice, "Xue Bing is her idol!"

I asked calmly, "Has Section Chief Mei heard it too?"

"Of course!" Mei Hua said exaggeratedly, "Her tickets are hard to find. I still got it from a leader in our department; he had something temporary and couldn't go, so I went to listen once. It's really as legendary as the rumors in the world!"

Mei Hua praised her, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I had heard Xue Bing sing many times; how come I had never heard their artistic conception?

It cannot be denied that her singing is indeed good, capable of making people's hearts calm and their thoughts peaceful. But no matter how heavenly the sound, it shouldn't be as divine as Mei Hua described.

My curiosity was aroused. I originally planned to pull Deng Hanyuan to buy some daily necessities and change of clothes when I arrived at the Opera House, but now, after Mei Hua's description, I had no mood to buy things at all. I wanted to see how Xue Bing, who walked out of the Hengyue City Cultural Center, had become the idol of the provincial capital people.

Just as the bus stopped at the entrance of the Grand Theater, before I got off, the phone in my pocket rang.

I took it out and saw it was He Jiaxiao calling, asking where I was as soon as he opened his mouth. Hearing that I was at the entrance of the Grand Theater, he laughed on the phone, wanting me to look at the fountain nearby.

I looked over according to his instructions and saw He Jiaxiao standing under a street lamp, smiling, with a white scarf around his neck and a black felt hat on his head.

I couldn't help but laugh and waved at him to come over.

He Jiaxiao hesitated for a moment, but still came over. However, he was followed by a girl with black hair flowing, a bright forehead, and as soon as she saw me, she called out "Brother" shyly.

I looked at He Jiaxiao suspiciously. He Jiaxiao pulled the girl over and said, "Brother, this is my girlfriend, her name is Qin Fang. You can call her Xiao Fang."

His move really gave me a fright. A few months ago, I hadn't seen him have a girlfriend; how did a girlfriend suddenly pop up now? Did he not remember that there was still Chen Meng and their child Dian Dian in Hengyue City?

I couldn't care about Qin Fang's surprised gaze, dragged him away a few steps, and asked fiercely, "Jiaxiao, what kind of ghost are you playing?"

He Jiaxiao looked at me innocently and said, "Brother, what's wrong with me?"

"You know it yourself!" I scrambled to find a cigarette in my pocket; the sudden change made me at a loss. He Jiaxiao has a new girlfriend, what about Chen Meng?

My heart was like it had been lit on fire, burning me with restlessness.

He Jiaxiao looked at my actions, the clouds of doubt on his face growing heavier, and asked, "Brother, my mom said you came to the province to find me, what's the matter?"

"Yes! Of course! It's a big deal!" I said in a panic, "You tell me first, what's going on with this girl?"

He Jiaxiao laughed and told me that she was a university student who had just been assigned to their unit this year, majoring in archaeology. Currently, she was interning with him.

"How did she become your girlfriend?"

"She loves me."

"Love your head!" I scolded, "Don't forget, you are a father of a child."

He Jiaxiao was stunned, scratched his scalp, and said, "Mengmeng won't marry me, do you want me to be a bachelor for a lifetime?"

"I came here this time to tell you to go back and get married."

"Marry whom?"

"Besides Chen Meng, who else do you want to marry?" I was nearly furious. Facing this cousin of mine who was still like a child, to be honest, I had no way!

He Jiaxiao suddenly laughed. I smelled a trace of bitterness in his laughter. After laughing, he sighed and said, "Brother, I don't want to marry Mengmeng anymore."

"You are a man, you must have responsibility!" I warned him, "Jiaxiao, major events in life, you can't joke about them."

He Jiaxiao said solemnly, "I'm not joking. I really can't marry Mengmeng anymore. Because between us, there is no love anymore."

Hearing this, my anger flared, and I roared, "Bullshit!"

My shout drew Deng Hanyuan over. He asked me in a panic, "County Magistrate Chen, what's wrong?"

I waved my hand and said, "It's nothing. You go in first."

Deng Hanyuan looked at me, then at He Jiaxiao, who was standing aside with his head down, hesitated, handed the ticket in his hand to me, shook his head, and left.

He Jiaxiao saw me losing my temper, changed to a smiling face, and said, "Brother, don't scold me. These things weren't caused by me; you don't know, for Mengmeng, what wouldn't I give up? You know, I once knelt at her door for an hour to ask for her forgiveness, but she didn't even look at me."

I didn't know about this thing He Jiaxiao mentioned. But I knew that ever since Chen Meng gave birth to the child, the whole He family had indeed suffered a lot of anger for the child's sake. For example, my aunt Wanru, how proud and arrogant she was, but in front of her grandson, she had no temper at all and had to spend the whole day happily teasing him.

I couldn't believe everything He Jiaxiao said, but I couldn't not believe it either, so I deliberately said, "There's such a thing?"

He Jiaxiao looked like he had suffered a great grievance and was about to swear to heaven. I stopped him and said, "Stop pretending!"

He Jiaxiao's face flushed red, and he couldn't speak loudly, holding a belly of anger, "Brother, you know, our men's knees, besides kneeling to heaven and earth, can only kneel to parents. But I knelt to her, and she didn't forgive me. Do you still want me to die?"

I didn't know how to answer him for a moment, so I changed the subject, "Jiaxiao, how did you know I was here?"

He Jiaxiao smiled unfathomably, "Brother, how could I have no way?"

I didn't want to know what method he used, but his appearance did solve some of my problems.

I took the car key out of my pocket and said, "You help me drive the car back to Hengyue City. Don't be in a hurry to express your attitude about what I just said, think about it carefully."

He Jiaxiao hesitated and refused to take the car key. I stuffed the key into his hand and said, "You must go back and handle this matter."

He had no choice but to take the key, beckoned his little girlfriend over, and the two of them stood in front of me and said, "Brother, you must help me!"

I originally wanted to shake my head, but seeing He Jiaxiao's pitiful appearance, my heart softened, and I nodded involuntarily.

He Jiaxiao was immediately excited, pulled his little girlfriend over to introduce me, "Qin Fang, this brother of mine is amazing, he became a County Magistrate before he was thirty. Now he's been promoted to the province, and in a while, he'll be a Chief."

Qin Fang looked at me with infinite admiration, "I must learn from Brother."

I smiled bitterly and turned to leave.

They had already gone in, and the performance should have started.

He Jiaxiao grabbed me and said, "Brother, don't you know whose concert it is?" He winked at me, signaling me to look at the tall billboard at the entrance of the theater.

On the billboard, Xue Bing's long skirt dragged on the ground, full of charm.

He Jiaxiao knew Xue Bing, and their relationship used to be very close. When he first came to Suxi Township, everything was strange, and it was Xue Bing who took him to visit the mountains and rivers of Suxi. At that time, in He Jiaxiao's heart, Xue Bing was his sister-in-law!

Things in the world are impermanent, and everything was a mistake. That I ended up with Huang Weiwei was something no one expected.

I shook off his hand and walked forward with my head down without saying a word.

He Jiaxiao chased a few steps and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm also here to listen to Sister Xue Bing's concert."

He raised the two tickets in his hand at me.

I asked in surprise, "Where did you get your tickets?" Because I knew this concert wasn't selling tickets.

"Guess!"

"Guess your head!" I made a gesture to hit him.

He Jiaxiao jumped aside with a smile and slowly leaned over, "Sister Xue Bing gave them to me!"

I was shocked and asked, "You have contact?"

"Of course!" He Jiaxiao said triumphantly, "Xue Bing found me as soon as she came to the provincial capital. In this city, we are the only relatives!"

He Jiaxiao's words were like a heavy hammer, pounding on my heart.

I felt my heart was already bleeding. But thinking that Guo Wei was also with her, she wasn't alone! My mood felt a little better.

I didn't expect He Jiaxiao to give me another dose of strong medicine. He accused me, "Brother, why did you think of introducing Guo Wei to Sister Xue Bing? Are you deliberately trying to harm her?"

"What do you mean?" I was furious. Now my mind was full of Xue Bing's shadow; even if I had a huge electric fan blowing at it, I couldn't move it half a step.

I sighed in my heart, "It's over!" ===== CHAPTER 506 =====
