Chapter 612: Women Need a Backer
Xu Mengda was already able to stand up, but he couldn't walk normally yet. He recovered very well, and I was surprised by his ruddy appearance the first time I saw him.
He was like two different people from the past. The past Xu Mengda didn't talk much, and people looked very steady. Now he not only talks a lot, but also dances with joy.
Just when I was surprised by his changes, Xu Da's wife came out happily, saw me and Zhu Hua Yu, and asked me with a smile: "Is it Xiao Chen from Hengyue City?"
I quickly greeted her and went to support her with both hands. Xu Da's wife pushed my hand away and said: "Xiao Chen, am I old?"
I smiled and said: "Auntie is not old, she is young."
Xu Da's wife smiled and said: "If I were old, Mengda wouldn't have come home. Look at him, he is like a child all day long, just right you are here, everyone talk about it, should he go?"
I asked suspiciously: "Where is Brother Xu going?"
Xu Mengda said impatiently to his mother: "Mom, if you nag again, I won't come back!"
Xu Da's wife glared at him and said: "You dare."
Xu Mengda said happily: "Mom, you know, there is nothing I dare not do. Besides, I am going this time, not for myself, but for your old Xu family to pass on the family line! You don't let me go, don't blame me for not fulfilling my responsibility!"
Xu Da's wife was said by her son, and she couldn't speak, just looking at us with her eyes.
I leaned over and asked: "Brother Xu, where are you going?"
"United States."
"What for?" I asked stupidly.
"Teacher Xue called me over."
I suddenly felt a heartbeat. Teacher Xue, isn't that Xue Bing? Why did she call Xu Mengda to the United States?
"I called you here today, just to let you give me an idea. Of course, I don't care how you think, I am determined to go." Xu Mengda said unhurriedly: "If I don't go, I might never find happiness in my life."
I know Xue Bing is studying in the United States. Since she went to the United States, I have never had any contact with her. Now that I suddenly heard that she has contact with Xu Mengda and called him to go, I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart. At the same time, there was invisible jealousy slowly growing.
"What does Teacher Xue want you to do in the United States?" I asked sourly. On the surface, I pretended that it had nothing to do with me, so my tone was very friendly.
"Guo Wei went." Xu Mengda's words came out of his mouth, and my exclamation followed.
Xu Mengda looked at my gaffe and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"
I shook my head and said: "Nothing. Guo Wei went to the United States, and didn't say hello to us. This guy, secretly, what does he want to do?"
Xu Mengda looked at me and said: "You don't have to be surprised. Guo Wei is also there."
Duanmu said on the side: "Guo Wei is not trustworthy. At the beginning, Mengda promised him everything, but he reneged until now, saying that love cannot be transferred."
Xu Mengda said with a gloomy face, waving his hand: "We don't care about him. The key is Teacher Xue. We can see whether she loves him or not. If she loves Guo Wei, she won't let me go."
"The problem is your body now, can you go?" Xu Da's wife said lovingly: "Child, what kind of character is this Teacher Xue? Except for her, you don't like other girls?"
She said, looking at Zhu Hua Yu, smiling and saying: "For example, look at Xiao Chen's girlfriend, beautiful and generous. There are thousands of women in the world, and those who hang themselves on a tree are the least worthy of sympathy!"
Xu Mengda smiled bitterly at his mother: "Mom, we are talking, why are you mixing in? If you have time, it's better to go and boil medicine for me. I want to drink it now."
Xu Da's wife heard that her son wanted to drink medicine, and she was overjoyed, happily going to the kitchen to boil medicine. She walked to the kitchen and turned back to call me: "Xiao Chen, you come and help me."
I followed Xu Da's wife into the kitchen, and before I stood still, she said hurriedly: "Xiao Chen, you persuade Mengda, he has been clamoring to go to the United States since he received a call from a teacher named Xue yesterday, and he doesn't eat or drink medicine. You say, he is like this now, how can he go!"
I comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry, I will persuade him." While saying, I helped her pour water into the sand pot, placed it on the gas stove, and lit the fire.
"However, whether Brother Xu will listen to my persuasion, I have no grasp. If he is determined to go, you can also rest assured, we will arrange for someone to follow him."
Xu Da's wife sighed and said: "Alas, this child. Forty years, this is the first time I have seen him so attentive to a girl. Actually, his father and I didn't mean to stop him, as long as it is the person he has identified, we will unconditionally support it. He is not small!"
I said yes repeatedly. At the same time, I introduced that Xue Bing came from our Hengyue City, was an excellent folk singer, and is now studying in the United States, etc.
Xu Da's wife sighed and said: "Xiao Chen, his father and I often hear Mengda mention you. Look at this, since he came to you for an idea, it shows that your relationship is better than us parents. I think so, if Mengda has determined the idea, I want to ask you to accompany him."
I didn't even have the courage to refuse. An old man who is eighty years old asked me, even if I didn't want to, I couldn't open my mouth to refuse.
She signaled me to go to the living room to talk to Xu Mengda, and she stood in the kitchen, quietly listening to our conversation.
Xu Mengda saw me come out, beckoned me to sit by his side, he pointed to a pack of cigarettes on the table and said: "Chen Feng, our family is a smoke-free family. You kid came, broke the precept!"
I laughed, took the cigarette from the table, looked at it left and right and said: "Brother Xu, good cigarette."
Xu Mengda nodded and smiled: "You can smoke."
I shook my head and said: "Brother Xu, I can't break the precept of your family. Don't smoke, I'll take it away and smoke it back."
Saying that, I put it in my pocket and asked softly: "Brother Xu, have you thought about it?"
Xu Mengda laughed: "For my own happiness, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I, Xu Mengda, will break through. You analyze it, Guo Wei ran to the United States to propose to Teacher Xue, what does he want to do?"
I stammered and couldn't answer. Duanmu scolded: "This is a villain. At the beginning, Mengda spent a lot of thought and moved a lot of resources for him to sit in the position of director of the Industrial Park Management Committee in your Hengyue City. You say, is this guy a Zhongshan wolf?"
Xu Mengda laughed: "You don't have to scold him. If Guo Wei really loved Teacher Xue, he wouldn't have used the position to exchange it at the beginning. Now even if Teacher Xue doesn't love me, I also oppose her marrying Guo Wei. This person, his character is problematic!"
Only then did I understand that Guo Wei became the director of the Industrial Park without a sound, but it was exchanged for Xue Bing's love. I don't know whether Xue Bing loved him or not, but I know very well that Xue Bing doesn't love Xu Mengda.
I can't tell Xu Mengda this meaning, otherwise he will be sad.
Ever since Xu Mengda saw Xue Bing at the Suxi Town relocation ceremony, he fell in love with her uncontrollably. Later, he tried to find relationships to transfer Xue Bing to the province, and arranged for her to study abroad. Everything he did reflected his deep love.
But I heard about the transaction he reached with Guo Wei for the first time.
It's like a sealed cylinder, I only saw what was hidden inside after opening the lid. Thinking of when I was studying at the Party School, Xue Bing said our love story in front of Peng Xiaoyuan, conveying that she only loved me, I suddenly felt a sense of being teased.
"When did Guo Wei go?" I asked.
"It's been these few days." Xu Mengda sighed and said: "Yesterday Teacher Xue called me and said that Guo Wei found her. She hopes I can go to the United States and talk clearly face to face."
"What is there to talk clearly?" I sneered: "Does Teacher Xue mean to refuse him or accept him? Calling you over, what problem can be solved?"
Xu Mengda looked at me deeply and said: "Chen Feng, if you say you are young, you really don't accept it. At this time, doesn't a woman need a backer?"
Zhu Hua Yu smiled and said: "Brother Xu is right. Women, when they are most helpless, the first person they think of is the one they trust most and can entrust their lives to."
Xu Mengda clapped his hands and laughed: "Chen Feng, look, you are not as sensible as a little girl."
I almost said Guo Wei's matter. Now I really can't be sure. The news provided by Wan Xiao is that Guo Wei has no exit record, so how did he go out?
The questions are getting bigger and bigger, so much so that I have turned a deaf ear to what they are saying.
Duanmu instigated on the side: "Mengda, I think you should satisfy Teacher Xue's request."
Xu Mengda came to see me, and I looked at him blankly.
Xu Da's wife brought the Chinese medicine out, blew the soup medicine lightly and said: "Mengda, listen to Xiao Chen's thoughts."
I was pushed by Zhu Hua Yu, and then I woke up, and continued to look around blankly.
Xu Mengda frowned and said: "Chen Feng, why are you strange? You say, what should I do?"
I hesitated and said: "I think Director Duanmu's opinion is fine."
As soon as Xu Mengda heard it, he laughed immediately, pointing at me and saying: "Chen Feng, you accompany me for a trip."
I nodded firmly, Xu Mengda's meaning happened to be what I thought. I want to meet Guo Wei!
The matter was settled, Xu Mengda's mood was incomparably happy, shouting that he was hungry and wanted to eat. Xu Da's wife seemed to have heard the imperial edict, and hurriedly shouted for the nanny to prepare for dinner.
I ate the meal with no taste. Except for Xu Mengda's high talk, I and Zhu Hua Yu almost didn't open our mouths, only Duanmu answered him from time to time.
Until the meal was finished, I didn't see Minister Xu Da come back, I prepared to say goodbye and go out.
Xu Mengda stopped me and said: "You don't have to live in any hotel, go to the club to live."
I still wanted to decline, Duanmu laughed: "Chen Feng, I want to live but Mengda won't give it."
Xu Mengda said sternly: "People came from afar, they are guests. You are here every day, besides, do you dare not go home?"
Duanmu laughed, saying: "Mengda, you really looked at me, that sister-in-law of yours, I don't go home for one day, it seems like the sky is going to collapse, annoying me."
After Xu Mengda was hospitalized, his club still opened its doors.
Xu Mengda's club is membership-based, and ordinary people can't even enter the door. I lived in the club with my aunt once before, and I know the luxury inside, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Chen Feng, you prepare, we will set off in these two days." Xu Mengda arranged for me: "When we come back, move your position."
I had a stuffy anger in my heart, he said he wanted to move for me, I naturally understand what it means. Xu Mengda is not a cadre, not even a civil servant. Why does he move for me? But since he said it, it means he must have a way.
People like him, no one can see his ability. ===== CHAPTER 613 =====
