After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1455 Currying Favor With the Bureau Chief

Chapter 1455 Currying Favor With the Bureau Chief

"He's not my boyfriend. We're just cla.s.smates. Don't misunderstand," Xia He said as she looked at Mao Lu seriously.

Mao Lu held on to her wine gla.s.s and stared at Xia He for a long time before she suddenly laughed and said, "Who are you trying to fool? Who doesn't want to become Bureau Chief Song's wife? He's the youngest bureau chief ever! Who doesn't want to curry favor with him!"

Mao Lu was only half right. Everyone really wanted to curry favor with Song Dan, but none of the women wanted to marry him. Who would want to marry such an ugly man? There were even rumors going around that Song Dan did not seem to enjoy the company of women, but seemed to like men! This made the women even more afraid to marry Song Dan.

Even if they had such an ulterior motive, they had no chance with him if he was not interested!

Xia He looked at Mao Lu with a hint of mockery and confusion in her eyes. She did not understand why a person had to live in such a lowly manner, but then again, she did not have the right to criticize others. Even though she did not have a luxurious life growing up, she never had to worry about money.

After she grew up, Xu Lan had already paved the way for her. Her life had been smooth-sailing so far. Although those days of daily dance practice were very tough, it was something that she had to go through. If not for the fact that she had been so stupid back then and insisted on marrying Kong Lu despite her family's objections, she might already have three or four children by now.

At the thought of her failed marriage, Xia He sighed resignedly.

"What kind of look is that? Don't you want to win Bureau Chief Song's favor?" Mao Lu asked suspiciously.

"No, I don't. I just want to be myself. Besides, will my life be any different if I know him better?" Xia He said.

"Tsk, so high and mighty!" After Mao Lu said that, she walked away from Xia He while carrying her wine gla.s.s. Xia He sat alone in the corner and continued drinking. At this moment, Song Dan was already so drunk that he could not be bothered with Xia He. She was fine with the entire situation since that meant he would not bother her when he had nothing to do.

Xia He did not know why she had inexplicably agreed to come to this place today. Perhaps it was because she hoped to have more friends. She had lost touch with her old friends in the capital because she rarely returned to the capital after she got married and did not even keep in contact with them.

She longed for one or two friends to accompany her, but then again, it seemed that friends were not that important to her anymore. She had Qiao Mei, family members who loved her, as well as Luo Yu and Chen Mu, who were like her brothers. All these were enough.

Most importantly, she now had a partner who had loved her deeply for many years. She wondered how he was now and if he had sat down for proper meals. They had not seen each other for half a month by now…

At the end of the evening, everyone sent the wobbly Song Dan to the door. Xia He stood alone by the side of the street, waiting for Chen Mu to come and pick her up. She had already used the phone in the restaurant to contact Chen Mu.

Acting under the influence of alcohol, Song Dan rushed over to Xia He and grabbed her arm tightly. "Come! Let's go home! I've asked the chauffeur to come and pick us up!"

"Let go of me! Are you crazy! Who's going home with you! Let go of me now!" Xia He said as she struggled.

Mao Lu looked at Xia He's prim and proper manner and felt a little nauseous. Xia He had clearly come to the restaurant with Song Dan, but now she was rejecting Song Dan's invitation. She really did not know what was good for her!

"Xia He, let's go! Go home! Don't you remember the way home?" Song Dan said groggily.

Xia He found it hard to break free from Song Dan's grip. People who were drunk were exceptionally strong and they also seemed to weigh a lot more. Xia He had been on a diet recently to lose weight in order to look good on stage, so she did not have much strength to fight him.

At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly hugged Xia He and slapped Song Dan's hands away. "There's no need to trouble Bureau Chief Song. I'll send Xia He home."

Xia He was very familiar with this embrace. It was the person she had been thinking about day and night.

"Why are you here?" Xia He asked as she looked at Deng Fan.

"I'm here to bring you home, you idiot. Why didn't you tell me about this?" Deng Fan whispered.

Song Dan grabbed his own hands which were in pain and yelled out loudly. He looked at Xia He and Deng Fan in disbelief and said, "What an indecent couple! Why are you hugging each other on the street! How improper!"

"Oh! It's one thing for you to seduce Bureau Chief Song! But you even have another man!" Mao Lu yelled as she pointed at Deng Fan.

"What in the world is going on?" Deng Fan said with a frown.
