1443 Nothing Too Serious

Xia He used to look like a tomboy but she looked so different now. She had such a shapely figure now. When Song Dan helped Xia He up just now, he even took the opportunity to touch Xia He's hand. Her skin was so soft and tender! It seemed that Du Miao had made the right decision for him this time.

"It's just that she has a bad temper. Otherwise, she's quite an attractive woman," Song Dan said melancholically as he looked into the distance.

"You have a problem with her temper? She's the daughter of a rich family and is now a 'leading actress' in the capital! She's a famous actress now! Do you think anyone can be her partner? Isn't it normal for a woman who's so outstanding to be a little wilful? Isn't it more interesting to conquer a hot-tempered woman?" Du Miao patted Song Dan's chest with a lecherous smile.

Song Dan could not help but laugh along. So what if Xia He had a fiancé? As long as their parents had not officially met and they had not gone through the engagement ceremony, he still had a chance!

The Song family was not a prominent family, but they could still be of great help to the Xia family. At the very least, he thought of himself to be much better than that kid, Deng Fan.

"That's right! There are plenty of opportunities!" Song Dan was now completely determined to be Xia He's partner. He left the road intersection with his arm over Du Miao's shoulder as he continued to spout his dirty thoughts.

Xia He reached home while feeling furious. At the moment, Qiao Mei was clearing the withered flowers and plants in the courtyard. After the rain, there were many withered branches and leaves on the ground. The gardener she previously hired turned out to be someone who wanted to murder her. Now, Xu Kang was the one doing the gardening, but Xu Kang was a little rough around the edges and did not know the art of cultivating flowers and plants.

Qiao Mei wanted to take this opportunity to trim the branches so that the plants would look better when they began to sprout after the beginning of spring. Then the courtyard would not be filled with strange-looking flowers and plants.

"What happened to you? Did you get into a fight or did you have a fall?" Qiao Mei looked at Xia He curiously as she stood on the ladder with a pair of shears.

"Don't mention it! It's so jinxed! I'm going to take a shower first. I'll tell you when I'm done!" Xia He said aggrievedly.

Qiao Mei hurriedly called Xu Kang over and asked her to wash Xia He's dirty clothes while Xia He was in the shower. By the time Xia He was done, Qiao Mei had almost finished trimming all the branches in the courtyard.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Qiao Mei sat back on the rocking chair and asked with a smile.

"You can still smile! You don't even know how miserable I am! I almost had a fracture today!" Xia He said as she pointed at her ankle.

"How is it so serious? Don't talk nonsense. Aren't you fine and well and standing in front of me?" Qiao Mei said.

"If my ankle gets injured, then my female lead role will be gone! It will drop into someone else's lap! Do you know how important this musical is to me! I'm so angry! Why didn't I grab hold of Song Dan and give him a good scolding just now! The new dress you made for me is so dirty now!" Xia He said angrily.

Qiao Mei already took a look at the dress. It was slightly damaged but that was not a big problem. She could just embroider a flower over the damaged part. She just did not know if Xia He had sustained any other injuries.

Usually, injuries from collisions would not be discovered immediately unless they were very serious. At that point of the accident, most people would be in a state of agitation and panic. Even if there were wounds or painful injuries on their bodies, they would not notice anything on the spot. They would only discover more wounds after they calmed down.

"Quick, drink some medicinal wine. Did you see any other wounds on your body when you were in the shower just now?" Qiao Mei asked worriedly.

"No, as you can see, I'm fine and dandy! As long as my face and my ankles are not injured, everything else is not a big deal," Xia He said optimistically, as if she was not the one who was hopping mad just now.

"It's good that there's nothing wrong. You should go to work by car from now on. It's not like our family can't afford to hire a chauffeur," Qiao Mei said.

"The traffic is too congested to drive to work! Besides, our family is in a precarious situation now. Eldest Brother is at the peak of his career and I'm also doing well at work now. Xiao Zhe's future in the army is so bright and you're about to start running a factory. Our Xia family also has future heirs now. Administration, landowning, agriculture and commerce. Now that our family has a finger in every pie, there will definitely be many jealous people around!" Xia He said with a slight frown.

"Since when do you worry about all this?" Qiao Mei said in surprise.

"I'm not a fool! Don't I know what are the things that will cause trouble for the Xia family? If I go around by car now, and even have a chauffeur, that would be too ostentatious and flashy. It would cause trouble for Father!" Xia He said.
