To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 298
Chapter 298: He Has A Fiancee
“That one? Which one?” Su Qingsang looked at her without giving her the answer.
“You…” Shi Mengwan gripped her arm harder. “You know who I was talking about.”
“Be gentle, be gentle. Are you going to murder me?” Su Qingsang couldn’t bear watching the expectant look in Shi Mengwan’s eyes. She couldn’t help but tell her what she wanted to know.
“I, um, I don’t know him so well. Last time, I went out with Huo Jinyao and happened to run into him. I heard that his last name is Zhan and that he’s from a wealthy family.”
“Oh,” Shi Mengwan relaxed her grip slightly, looking at Su Qingsang. Clearly, she wanted her to keep talking.
“I really don’t know much about him,” Su Qingsang didn’t have the heart to see her good friend like that. “But I do know one thing about him.”
“What? The woman by his side is his fiancée?”
Shi Mengwan froze. She turned her eyes away Su Qingsang and dropped her head. Su Qingsang didn’t know what kind of expression she was wearing at the moment.
“Mengwan?”
“I’m fine,” Shi Mengwan didn’t want to talk about it anymore. “So it turns out that they are engaged.”
“Umm.” Hearing her disappointed voice, Su Qingsang felt sad for her. She patted her on the shoulder and said, “Mengwan, just forget about him. No matter whether he was your ‘big brother’ or not, he’s getting married now. Maybe he is already married.”
Shi Mengwan was clearly aware of that. They hadn’t seen each other in over ten years. Anything could have changed during such a long span of time.
She could understand that her ‘big brother’ now had another girl keeping him company. She stopped rubbing the medicine into Su Qingsang’s skin, pulled down Su Qingsang’s cloth, and put her face on Su Qingsang’s lap.
“I know. I know it all. But Qingsang, he promised me that he would marry me.”
Su Qingsang didn’t know what to say. She suddenly found herself able to feel what Shi Mengwan felt, maybe because she now had Huo Jinyao.
She sighed silently, then patted Shi Mengwan’s back and said to her, “Mengwan, how about I ask Huo Jinyao to introduce you to a better man?”
Huo Jinyao had many outstanding friends. Perhaps Shi Mengwan would slowly forget about that man after meeting a better one.
Shi Mengwan abruptly raised her head, then quickly stood up and said, “Really? I’ll be expecting it.”
She subdued her mood, as she didn’t want her friend to worry about her.
Su Qingsang knew that Shi Mengwan wouldn’t forget about Zhan Haoze so soon, but she didn’t mention him again.
“Since you’re back, I have something to tell you.”
It wasn’t convenient for her to talk about that on the phone. Now she finally had a chance to talk to her friend in person.
“What is it?”
Su Qingsang told her about Xiang Caiping.
“Are you sure that didn’t happen in a TV drama?” Shi Mengwan acted like she just heard a riveting story.
TV drama? If only it was just some story in a TV drama.
“It’s real,” said Su Qingsang.
Shi Mengwan gave a sarcastic smile, then coiled her arm around Su Qingsang’s, said in a gossipy way, “Can I please meet this lousy mother of yours?”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘lousy mother’?”
“Well,” Shi Mengwan said, “She never looked after you for even one day since you were born. But when you grew up, she suddenly showed up and got herself such a wonderful daughter…”
“Mengwan,” Su Qingsang knew that Shi Mengwan often overthought things. She was probably coming up with some kind of conspiracy theory at the moment.
“I’ve spent a few days with her. I think she is trustworthy.”
Huo Jinyao shared the same opinion.
“Since you say so, I’m definitely going to meet her.”
“Wait until I get off work then.”
Su Qingsang was not about to finish work so soon. In less than a day, almost everyone in the hospital heard that she was attacked.
