C35 Who Was That Man?
C35 Who Was That Man?
She did not know what was going on today. She stood by the side of the road and waited for more than ten minutes. No taxi was willing to stop. Just as she took out her phone and wanted to call Xiao Lee, a BMW X5 stopped in front of her!
" Mr Dongzi!" Seeing this familiar car, Xia Xiaoxiao's bad mood was instantly swept away! She looked at Zheng Haodong, who had walked out of the driver's seat, and laughed happily.
Zheng Haodong smiled and walked in front of her. He picked up the things on the ground and was about to put them in the trunk when Xia Xiaoxiao immediately stopped him!
" Mr Dongzi, I have something to do today. Go ahead and do your work!" She was going to Shao Zhanping's house. If Zheng Haodong sent her there, she would feel embarrassed.
"I'm fine. I just came back these two days to walk around! You're being polite with me? Get in the car!" Zheng Haodong ignored Xia Xiaoxiao's objections as he spoke and put everything into the car.
Xia Xiaoxiao did not know what to say for a moment. She hesitated for a moment and got in the car.
Zheng Haodong put the things in the car and then sat in the driver's seat. He looked at Xia Xiaoxiao beside him and asked with a smile, "You must not report me! Tell me, where do you want to go?"
Xia Xiaoxiao heard his words and could not help but laugh. But thinking about where she wanted to go, her eyes darkened again. "I want to go to Shao Zhanping's house!"
Zheng Haodong was stunned for a moment. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still looked at Xia Xiaoxiao and smiled. "Got it! Then let's go!"
"En. . . "
The car drove for a distance, but the two of them did not speak. The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. In the end, Zheng Haodong took the initiative to break the silence. "Xiaoxiao, how is Shao Zhanping's personality?" Even if he had no hope now, he still wanted to know what kind of person she married!
"His character is quite good. . . " Xia Xiaoxiao replied with a faint smile. Although her words were insincere, she did not want others to worry about her.
"Really? You bought so many things, why did he not come to pick you up?" Her answer did not have any credibility. Zheng Haodong did not believe what she said at all.
"He is a regimental commander! He was injured half a year ago. He is now sitting in a wheelchair, so he cannot come and pick me up. . . " Xia Xiaoxiao replied slowly.
"Squeak!" The BMW stopped on the road with a squeak!
Zheng Haodong looked at her in disbelief. "He is sitting in a wheelchair. Is it temporary or. . . " He did not dare to ask the rest of the question.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him and smiled to comfort him. "Don't worry! He will still stand up!"
"Then what about your wedding?"
"He's still injured in his leg. I think he's going to have a wedding in a wheelchair. " Xia Xiaoxiao looked at his worried expression and smiled. "You don't have to worry. He is really fine. " She didn't want anything to go wrong with her and Shao Zhanping's wedding, because it didn't matter if it was either of them. * Hong Long. . . . . . *
"Xiaoxiao. . . " Zheng Haodong did not know what to say for a moment.
"Don't worry! He is really fine!" Xia Xiaoxiao once again gave him a comforting smile.
Zheng Haodong turned his head and looked outside the window. He let out a heavy breath and gloomily started the car again.
The car crossed a few streets in the city and finally stopped in front of a high-end apartment. Zheng Haodong took all the things out of the car. He ignored Xia Xiaoxiao's insistence and helped her carry them into the elevator. He watched the elevator door slowly close and then left with relief.
The elevator slowly rose. Xia Xiaoxiao leaned against the wall of the elevator, feeling mixed feelings in her heart. But there are some roads. Since you have chosen, you must persist. Not for anything else, just for the hope of her parents and the last bit of dignity in her nine years of love.
When the elevator opened, Xia Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Lee waiting at the entrance. She smiled in surprise. "Do you have telepathy? How did you know I was here? "
Xiao Lee grinned and quickly took out the things from the elevator. "regimental commander told me! He told me to wait for you here. I didn't expect you to be here!"
Xia Xiaoxiao did not take it to heart. She carried some things and went into the living room of the apartment with Xiao Lee. When she walked in, she saw Shao Zhanping sitting in a wheelchair and looking at her in the living room. She looked into his eyes and smiled at him.
Shao Zhanping silently looked at her. He looked at the things she and Xiao Lee had brought and said slowly, "You don't have to buy so many things next time!"
"Okay, I got it!" Xia Xiaoxiao nodded and put all the things in the kitchen. Then she walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"Who was that man just now?" Shao Zhanping looked at Xia Xiaoxiao and asked coldly.
"What man? Which man?" Xia Xiaoxiao played dumb and asked him back. This apartment was so tall, and he was still sitting in a wheelchair. It was impossible for him to see Zheng Haodong, right? She knew that he was petty. So it was better for her not to say anything, so as to avoid friction again.
"The man who sent you here, he was downstairs just now!" Shao Zhanping still asked her expressionlessly.
"Aren't you sitting in a wheelchair? Can you see clearly?" Xia Xiaoxiao was really a little puzzled. The balcony was so tall, how could the person sitting in the wheelchair see clearly what was happening downstairs?
"The balcony here is hollow!" Shao Zhanping reminded her without changing his expression.
Xia Xiaoxiao immediately turned her head and saw that part of the balcony was hollow and decorated with glass!
Sigh!
It seemed that he really saw what happened just now. Xia Xiaoxiao's face turned red guiltily. She turned around to look at him and explained, "That's my brother! He saw that I bought too many things, so he sent me over!"
"When did you have a brother? Why didn't I know?" Shao Zhanping looked at her doubtfully. Although he wasn't very familiar with her, he still knew the situation of her family.
"He is our neighbor! We happened to meet at the entrance of the supermarket, that's why he sent me here!"
"He also lives in your neighborhood?"
"No! In the past, when our house used to live in a flat, we were neighbors. Later, we were no longer in the same place! "
"Since you called him brother, it looks like you guys have a good relationship! What does he do? " Shao Zhanping seemed to be very interested in this question and kept holding onto it.
Xia Xiaoxiao really did not want to continue this topic with him, but when she heard him ask her, she could not help but answer, "He runs a restaurant!" After saying that, she stood up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen, "What do you want to eat? I will make it for you!"
"Since he owns a restaurant, let's go to his place for lunch this afternoon!" Shao Zhanping slowly suggested behind her.
Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and turned back to look at him, rejecting him directly, "No!"
Shao Zhanping's face pulled a funny smile as he looked at her and asked, "Isn't he your brother? Why not? "
Xia Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched and she did not know how to answer this question. She could only look at him and say directly, "I don't like owing others!"
"It's not like we are eating for free. Furthermore, everyone will definitely meet in the future. Isn't it good to get to know each other now?" Shao Zhanping did not know what had happened today. After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Xia Xiaoxiao to speak. The Remote-controlled Wheelchair turned around and looked at Xiao Lee, who was beside him, and ordered, "Xiao Lee, let's go out and eat later! Get ready!"
Xiao Lee immediately nodded and answered, "Yes, regimental commander!"
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at this person speechlessly. She really did not understand what he was going to do! She really did not want him to appear in front of Zheng Haodong, but she did not know how to convince him at that moment. She could only stare at his back and keep silent.
Shao Zhanping seemed to feel her gaze, and slowly turned his wheelchair around to look at her. The expression on his face slowed down a little. "Although I was not very familiar with you in the past, I still know a little about your family's situation. I just thought that it was only you and your mother. . . I didn't expect that there would be another neighbor, Big Brother. I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to have more contact with the people around you! "
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Lee who had walked into the study. She looked at him and said bluntly, "We are just a nameless couple! Is it useful for you to know so much?"
Usually, Shao Zhanping would be angry with such words. However, he seemed to be in a good mood today. Xia Xiaoxiao's words did not ruin his mood at all. He looked at Xia Xiaoxiao and continued to ask slowly, "Isn't he just an ordinary neighbor, Big Brother? Why do you mind me seeing him? Is there any other relationship between you two other than neighbors? "
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at his scrutinizing eyes and knew that although this person usually did not speak much, his ability to distort facts was very strong. Thinking of this, she looked at him and nodded in agreement. "Alright! Since you are so curious, then go!"
"Then you should give him a call first. Otherwise, it would be impolite!"
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him and felt that he should make a call first. She took out her phone from her bag and found Zheng Haodong's number. She hesitated for a moment. Even if it was connected, what did she say? She wanted to take her husband to his restaurant to eat? Recalling what he had said to her, she really couldn't bear to do that!
She turned around and wanted to say a few gentle words to Shao Zhanping, but there was no one behind her! He returned to his own room!
Xia Xiaoxiao sighed lightly. Even if she escaped today, the two of them would still inevitably meet in the future! She made up her mind and pressed her finger on his number.
"Xiaoxiao! Is something the matter?" Zheng Haodong answered her phone as he drove.
" Mr Dongzi, I want to take a friend to your restaurant for lunch this afternoon. " Xia Xiaoxiao spoke with some difficulty.
"Okay! If you bring your friends to eat, I will welcome you with both hands!" Zheng Haodong heard Xia Xiaoxiao's words and immediately replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr Dongzi!"
