Chapter 1469 Something Definitely Happened
Qiao Mei had already given Deng Fan a day off, but he insisted on going to work at the factory. The sooner he completed his work, the sooner he would be able to marry Xia He. Only then could he feel completely at ease. Xia He thought the same way too. The two of them had made a pact to shine brightly in their respective careers so that they could have a sweet future together.
"It's probably one of Xia He's fans," Qiao Mei said calmly.
"Fans? What do you mean by fans?" Xia You looked at Qiao Mei in confusion.
For a moment, Qiao Mei did not know how to explain it. She stammered, "It's… it's someone who admires Xia He's talent and likes her for how outstanding she is."
Xia You nodded as if she only vaguely understood what it meant. The performance started very soon after that. The moment Xia He stepped on the stage, she saw a sea of faces and was filled with excitement. She had thought that an unknown actress like her would not attract anyone's attention and she did not expect so many people to turn up.
The performance went very smoothly and there were no errors at all. When Xia He took the curtain call, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
Song Dan sat rooted to his seat in a daze. He had never seen Xia He like this before. She was like a mermaid in the deep sea, with a beautiful singing voice that could move one's heart. At this moment, he was finally sure about what he wanted to do.
Even if he could not get the Xia family's "divine medicine", he still wanted to marry Xia He.
When it was time to leave, Xia Wen went back with Qiao Mei and her family. He had definitely noticed Song Dan as well. After arriving at Qiao Mei's house, the two of them went to the study.
"That person must be Song Dan. He's eyeing your medicine," Xia Wen said sternly.
"As expected of Eldest Brother, you discover their motive so quickly," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Ever since he spoke to Du Miao at the police station the last time, Xia Wen had already felt that something was wrong. Now that he saw Song Dan in person, he was even more certain of this.
"Does Xia He know about this?" Xia Wen asked.
"I haven't told her yet, but Song Dan is wooing her fanatically and making her a little overwrought," Qiao Mei said.
"He's even wooing Xia He!" Xia Wen stood up angrily and said to Qiao Mei.
"That's right. It seems that everything which happened earlier is actually part of their scheme. I had thought that he's really wooing Xia He. Deng Fan has been worried sick for the past two days. He's working day and night just so he can complete the work early and marry Xia He," Qiao Mei said.
Xia Wen did not expect Song Dan and Du Miao to be so callous and even dared to have designs on Xia He. They were really going overboard and did not respect the Xia family at all.
After the performance, Xia He prepared to walk back to Qiao Mei's house. The theater was very near Qiao Mei's place and she could reach home within 10 minutes. The moment she stepped out, she saw a huge bouquet of flowers that seemed to move on its own.
"Xia He! I came to watch your performance!" Song Dan said excitedly.
Xia He raised her eyebrows and looked at the scene in front of her. She did not know if she should laugh or be more serious, but the scene in front of her was really too funny. It was like a potato wrapped up with a white paper towel was rolling around crazily on the ground.
"What… what are you doing here," Xia He said.
"To congratulate you, of course. These are the flowers I bought for you. I hope you can accept them," Song Dan said sincerely.
Xia He said politely, "Thank you for the flowers. Our staff will take care of these flowers. You can leave it with them. I'll get going first."
"Hey! Don't go! Let me send you home! It's already dark and it's not safe for you to go home alone," Song Dan said worriedly.
Xia He looked at Song Dan helplessly. She even suspected that Song Dan's bout of alcohol poisoning was just an act at that time. It had only been a few days and Song Dan was already able to appear so energetically in front of her. Anyone else would have needed to rest for a long time!
She had heard from Xia Wen that Song Dan's family member had even asked Qiao Mei for the "divine medicine". It looked like Song Dan's illness was not serious at all and that it was all a lie.
"There's no need. I can go back on my own. Goodbye," Xia He said determinedly.
Li Hua stood at the staff entrance passageway and looked at Xia He, saying, "Do you see that? It's such a big bouquet of flowers and all red roses. How can you say that the two of them have nothing to do with each other? Even a dog won't believe it!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't make me rip out your tongue!" Bai Dian said as she pointed at Li Hua angrily.
Bai Dian's performance did not go smoothly today. As a supporting role, she did not have many scenes, but before she went on stage, Li Hua had caused her to trip and her ankle felt a little uncomfortable. Li Hua must have done it on purpose!
