1442 Accident
"How do you know that the two of them are the most suitable for each other? I don't think Eldest Brother likes Mo Zhu at all. At most, he just had a good impression of her," Qiao Mei asked Xia He, feeling puzzled.
"I… I just have a feeling! There aren't many women who can leave a good impression on Eldest Brother. You have to trust me!" Xia He said confidently. She had always been very good at judging people. As long as Mo Zhu liked Xia Wen, she felt that there would not be any problems at all.
The two of them chatted until late into the night. Xia He even started to make plans for Xia Wen's future children! If not for Qiao Mei asking her to stop, she would have even come up with names for Xia Wen's children. This woman was really scary…
Qiao Mei finally saw how crazy Xia He could be when she took on a role as a matchmaker. When Xia Fan and Xia Xing grew up, she would not let Xia He introduce anyone to them, not even one!
Xia He was still thinking about Xia Wen and Mo Zhu on the way to work the next day. She did not want to waste a single minute of her free time, but still, she could not focus all her energy on Xia Wen today. It was the day when the troupe would announce the name of the dancer taking on the female lead role in the musical.
Then again, so long as there was no spanner thrown in the works, the female lead role in the musical was already hers!
She had heard that the female lead role originally belonged to someone else. It seemed that the investors had already made their choice. However, Xia He was really much more outstanding than this person. No matter which role Xia He took in the musical, she was going to end up outshining everyone. The investors were worried that this would affect the musical's box office takings, so they decided to give the female lead role to Xia He in the end.
As for the original female lead… they just needed to coax her with some money. It was not a big deal.
Xia He hummed a song as she rode her bicycle on the way home after work. She wanted to rush home and share the joy of her getting the role with Qiao Mei and the others. It had rained last night and the ground was very wet and slippery with many water puddles!
Xia He thought of herself as a very good cyclist and did not even bother to slow down. However, she did not expect someone to suddenly barge out into the middle of the road. Caught by surprise, she had to swerve the bicycle forcefully to one side in order to avoid the pedestrian.
However, because of this, Xia He lost her balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was fine since she knew how to protect her limbs from getting injured.
"Hey… Are you crazy! Don't you look at where you're going!" Xia He said as she held her elbow which had taken a knock.
The pedestrian apologized profusely, saying, "Are you alright! It's all my fault. Don't be angry. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup!"
Xia He frowned and looked up. She felt that this pedestrian looked very familiar. She must have seen him somewhere before, but she could not remember where…
"Xia He! Why are you here!" The pedestrian turned out to be Song Dan and he looked at Xia He in surprise. At this moment, Xia He still could not remember who the person in front of her was.
Song Dan first helped Xia He up and then said, "It's me! I'm Song Dan. We were classmates in elementary school!"
"It's you! I remember now!" Xia He pointed at Song Dan and said furiously, "Don't you look where you're going! I was riding in a straight line! Do you have a death wish when you run out like this! It's fortunate that I braked in time. If I couldn't stop, you might be lying on the ground now!"
When Song Dan was young, he was often bullied by his classmates. As he was not good-looking and did not do well in his studies, everyone called him a fool and no one wanted to be his friend. Xia He still had some impression of him.
Xia He had specially worn a new set of clothes on this special day of the announcement of the female lead. The clothes were made by Qiao Mei and she was dismayed to dirty it after wearing it for less than a day. She looked at her dress in frustration.
Song Dan also noticed Xia He's emotions and immediately said, "Let me buy you a new set of clothes. There's a shopping mall nearby!"
Even if Song Dan bought 80 new dresses to replace this dress, it would still be useless. This was something made by Qiao Mei and was irreplaceable. It was useless even if he gave her money for it.
"Forget it, I'll go home and deal with it myself. Goodbye." Xia He picked up the bicycle from the ground. She patted the mud off herself, leaped on the bicycle and rode away from the road intersection, leaving Song Dan alone there in a daze.
Du Miao made sure that she had left before he slowly walked out from the back. He stood behind Song Dan and looked into the distance as he said, "You're still staring! I already told you that she's your type, but you didn't believe me."
