Chapter 75 - 75 Meeting Chen Mo Again
75 Meeting Chen Mo Again
Just as they arrived at the bus stop, a familiar male voice rang out behind her.
“Little girl!”
Xia Wan turned around and saw that it was Xu Ye, the man who had helped her come up with the idea to save the canned food business.
Chen Mo was standing beside Xu ye.
Seeing Chen Mo, Xia Wan’s heart was filled with complicated emotions. She subconsciously avoided looking at him, afraid that the memories of the past would disrupt her current peaceful life.
She wanted revenge, but now wasn’t the time. She was still not powerful enough and needed to be patient. She was not on the same level as Chen Mo. She did not want to provoke him. Getting involved with him would only bring her endless trouble.
However, she did not expect that Xu Ye, who she had casually helped the other day, would actually know Chen Mo.
Xia Wan nodded at Xu Ye. Hello, we meet again.
Just as Xu Ye was about to speak to Xia Wan, he saw Chen Mo walking toward her, blocking his view.
Xia Wan, I went to your house to look for you, but you weren’t there. I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you this time, but it seems we were really fated to meet.”
Xu Ye stood behind Chen Mo with his mouth wide open. So, the girl he was talking about was Xia Wan?
Xu Ye felt his heart shatter to pieces. He finally knew the girl’s name, but at the same time, he discovered that the girl his brother cared about was Xia Wan.
‘I can’t do it. Chen Mo is my brother,’ Xu Ye thought to himself.
It was easy for him to fall for a girl, but that wasn’t the case for Chen Mo. For so many years, there had been many girls around him, but none moved his heart. Now that one had finally appeared, he could not snatch her away from his good friend!
Now, Xu Ye could only feel bursts of heartache.
Xia Wan looked into Chen Mo’s eyes, and she could feel her heart beating faster.
“Why are you looking for me?” Xia Wan asked.
She wanted to cut off all ties with him, but when she found out that he had gone to look for her, she couldn’t help but look forward to it. She wanted to know if he cared a lot about her.
“You saved me, so I bought you a gift. See if you like it,” Chen Mo said as he took out a gift box and opened it for Xia Wan.
Xia Wan looked at the box. There was a silver bracelet with a few small stars on it. It was made of gold, and it was obvious that it was not cheap.
“No, I can’t take it. This bracelet is too expensive,” Xia Wan rejected immediately.
Chen Mo passed the box to her. “You saved my life. Is my life not worth a bracelet? Aren’t you looking down on me too much?”
Xia Wan was in a difficult position. Chen Mo’s words made sense, but with her family’s current situation, if she accepted the bracelet and Li Jin found out, he would definitely scold her again. Then, she would not be able to keep the bracelet.
However, Chen Mo’s attitude was firm, so Xia Wan had to lie and say, “I can’t accept it, not just because it’s expensive, but also because I can’t keep it.”
Chen Mo furrowed his brows. “What do you mean?”
Xia Wan saw his expression and knew that he didn’t know anything. She sighed and said, “My family’s environment is more complicated. My grandmother is very biased. I have two uncles, and my grandmother favors their children more. If I take your bracelet and my grandmother sees it, she will scold me and confiscate it.
“That’s why I can’t accept it. You should take this bracelet back.” Xia Wan pushed the box back.
Chen Mo didn’t expect Xia Wan’s family to be in such a situation. Then, he recalled the annoying girl he had met today and asked, “Do you have cousins at home?”
Xia Wan was surprised. “How did you know?”
Xu Ye saw that he finally had a chance to speak, so he took the initiative to squeeze over and tell Xia Wan about his encounter with Xia Ye today. Of course, Xu Ye and Chen Mo did not know Xia Ye’s name yet. They only roughly described the girl’s appearance to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan could not help but laugh. “That should be my cousin, Xia Ye. She’s quite vain. It’s a good thing you didn’t tell her that the person you’re looking for is me. Otherwise, I’d be in trouble when I got home. She’ll definitely ask me how I met you guys and even want to be related to you.
“She likes handsome and rich guys. It so happens that you two are both.”
Xia Chen looked at Xia Wan and the two of them talking happily and couldn’t help but wonder when these two sisters had met. He remembered that he’d tag along whenever his sister went to the county.
