Mother Heâs intentions were so obvious, but he really treated Shanshan as his sister. He didnât have any other thoughts. He knew that it would be a waste of effort to say it now.
âAll right. Shanshan, where are you going? Iâll give you a ride. I need to go out for something.â He Ming said casually.
âIsnât it too troublesome? Brother He?â Hu Shanshan pretended to ask.
âNo, itâs on the way.â He Ming picked up the car keys.
When Mrs. He saw this, she smiled knowingly. âYou young people should go out for a walk too. Come and visit me next time.â
He Ming and Hu Shanshan went out one after another.
In the car, He Ming said as he turned the steering wheel, âShanshan, Iâm really sorry. Donât worry about my mother. Sheâs just trying to get me together with anyone. She doesnât know the actual situation and has caused you trouble.â
âBrother He, youâre too polite. I donât thifik itâs a problem.â Hu Shanshan was disappointed, but she could not show it.
âMy mom is very free at home and likes to fool around.â He Ming did not want to give Hu Shanshan any ideas. In fact, he had made it very clear during the blind date.
âNo, Auntie is very enthusiastic and amiable. I like her very much.â Hu Shanshan felt that she could not hold onto her pride any longer. What kind of woman could charm Brother He so much that he wanted to clarify their relationship with her like this?
âThen you can go visit her when you have time.â He Ming was still a gentleman. Seeing that she was a girl, he didnât say an outright rejection.
âBrother He, didnât you say that you treat me as your sister? Iâm holding a birthday party next week. You and your girlfriend should come.â Hu Shanshan wanted to see what the girl He Ming liked was like. This way, she could compare and see how she was inferior to her.
When He Ming heard this, he was stunned. Ye Xiaomeng probably wouldnât go with him, but Shanshan had invited him sincerely, so he couldnât refuse.
âAll right, weâll see. Iâll go over when I have time.â He Ming thought that he probably couldnât turn down this favour.
âIâll tell you the time and place then.â Hu Shanshan said happily, her face blooming.
After sending Hu Shanshan home, He Ming looked at the time. It was still early. Thinking of his conversation with Ye Xiaomeng today, he felt a wave of frustration and did not want to look for her for the time being. He then turned his car around and drove to Gu Shaotingâs house.
On the way there, he called Gu Shaoting and knew that he was at home, so he bought beer and planned to get drunk with Gu Shaoting.
Carrying two packs of beer and peanuts, He Ming pressed Gu Shaotingâs doorbell.
When Gu Shaoting came to open the door, he looked displeased.
âWhatâs wrong? Am I not welcome?â He Ming walked in and placed the things on the table.
âMing, do you understand women? Can you read a womanâs mind?â Gu Shaoting blurted out this sentence.
âWhatâs wrong with Shu Pan?â Besides Shu Pan, he couldnât think of anyone else who could affect Gu Shaotingâs mood.
âShe went on a date with another man.â Gu Shaoting said angrily.
âHow do you know? Also, itâs her right to go on a date. Youâre just her boss now.
Can you stop her from going on a date?â
He Mingâs words almost made Gu Shaoting vomit blood. He really hit a sore spot.
