Chapter 149 The province should spend its money.
Chen Jingzhou smiled faintly, "My mother has lived in the village for many years and hasn't seen much of the world. Don't mind her. In her eyes, doctors are a particularly impressive profession."
Xu Hemei smiled and said, "I didn't mind. She's quite cute."
There really are differences between people. Her former mother-in-law also stayed in the village all year round, but she gave her the feeling that "bad people come from poor and remote places".
Now, Chen Jingzhou's mother has changed her perspective a lot.
Chen Jingzhou asked, "Which hospital are you in?"
Xu Hemei replied, "Peijiang Hospital, Neurosurgery, Huan..." She paused, then gave an awkward laugh, "It's a pretty serious department. They have to open up your head to do surgery. They don't welcome sick people."
Chen Jingzhou found it humorous and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'll listen to the doctor."
Xu Hemei also asked, "And you? Which department's lawyer are you in?"
After asking her, she herself didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Chen Jingzhou couldn't help but laugh, and finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Xu Hemei frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Their conversation attracted the attention of the elders.
Chen Jingzhou stopped laughing and said, "I'm a lawyer from the Economics Department."
Xu Hemei then realized that she had blurted it out without thinking. She sighed and rubbed her forehead helplessly. "Sorry, I've been working night shifts a lot lately, and my brain is going to go numb from all the staying up so late."
Chen Jingzhou shook his head, comforting him: "It's okay, you're not wrong to ask."
Xu Hemei nodded slightly, then lowered her head to eat her food.
When Mr. and Mrs. Chen saw this scene, smiles appeared on their faces. They looked at each other and thought that if their son could win over such a wonderful girl as Xu Hemei, their family would be truly blessed.
He Qiaoyun also sighed, the two children looked so good together, the boy was handsome and the girl was beautiful, much better than Duan Fei who had a miserable look on his face.
The key point is that Chen Jingzhou's parents seem to be easy to talk to. Judging from their conversation, they are not unreasonable people like Wu Man, nor are they son-obsessed and will not follow their son around all day.
Chen Jingzhou is also a very independent and capable man.
A good family atmosphere and an outstanding man are enough for a relationship to develop healthily and stably.
Time passed slowly, and most of the dishes on the table were eaten. The five of them then got up to pay the bill and leave.
After leaving the restaurant, Chen Ma asked, "It seems like it's still early. Are you going shopping?"
He Qiaoyun nodded. "Yes."
Chen's mother said, "Why don't we come together? We're not very familiar with this place, and our son and husband are both men who don't understand my taste. I'll be happier hanging out with you two."
He Qiaoyun naturally had no objections. "Sure, let's go."
She walked ahead hand in hand with Chen's mother, like close sisters, while the two young people followed behind. Chen's father was left behind, and could only follow at the very back, walking and looking around alone.
Xu Hemei turned around, glanced at the two mothers walking ahead, and asked, "Should we wait for your father?"
Chen Jingzhou waved his hand, "No need to wait. My dad would feel uncomfortable walking with us."
Xu Hemei nodded, "Okay."
The streets were bustling during the Mid-Autumn Festival, filled with the noise of various stores promoting their products. Crowds thronged the streets, and in the middle of the road, there was a small circular stage where people were singing with guitars and handsome men in Hanfu were dancing.
Xu Hemei's attention was drawn to the scene, and Chen Jingzhou stopped to watch with her.
At that moment, someone on stage was singing a love song by Fish Leong, and tears welled up in Xu Hemei's eyes.
She confirmed her relationship with Duan Fei during the Mid-Autumn Festival. That night, instead of staying with her family to admire the moon, she secretly followed Duan Fei out for a stroll. They passed a karaoke stall, and Duan Fei spent ten yuan to borrow a microphone. He sang Liang Jingru's love songs for her, and he confessed his love to her while singing. She was so moved that she burst into tears and agreed to be with him.
Chen Jingzhou caught a glimpse of her wiping her eyes out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously turned his head to see the tears falling from her eyes.
Xu Hemei noticed his gaze and quickly turned her head away.
"You..." Chen Jingzhou paused, and after a long while asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Hemei wiped away her tears, forced a not-so-good smile, and said, "The person on stage sang so badly that it made me cry."
Chen Jingzhou smiled faintly, "It is indeed quite average."
For some reason, tears welled up in Xu Hemei's eyes again, and she said, "I hate this song the most."
Chen Jingzhou raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded gently in agreement with her words.
Xu Hemei wiped away her tears again, "I'm going to the restroom."
Chen Jingzhou followed her and waited outside the bathroom door.
About ten minutes later, Xu Hemei came out of the restroom, her eyes slightly red, but her face was full of casual smiles. "Let's go."
"it is good."
In fact, Chen Jingzhou could tell that this song held a very important story for her, but he didn't ask because he felt it would be impolite to her that he was just a stranger she had only known for less than half a day.
When Xu Hemei is in a bad mood, her way of venting her emotions is to shop and swipe her credit card.
She lost a lot of clothes because of Wu Man, and now that the autumn collection is in, she has unknowingly filled her hands with them.
When you have two or three million, you'll find that money is spent very slowly. You can carry the clothes in both hands and find that you've only spent less than 20,000. Even if you swipe all your credit cards, you won't feel any pain at all.
She was really tired from shopping, so she found a coffee shop and sat down. She asked very generously, "What would you like to drink? It's on me."
Chen Jingzhou chuckled, "Let me treat you."
He just saw her take out her credit card.
Xu Hemei waved her hand, "No need, I'll order. I have a coupon, it's only 9.9 yuan. We should save where we can and spend where we can. Besides, you paid for the meal earlier."
Chen Jingzhou chuckled, "That works too."
Xu Hemei ordered two coffees, then rested her head in her hands, lost in thought. She was so tired from shopping that she couldn't pretend anymore and just wanted to space out.
Chen Jingzhou was sitting directly opposite her. From his perspective, she was staring at him, which made him unsure where to look...
Suddenly, Xu Hemei picked up her phone to check the time, but received a message from her mother: "It's so late. Are you still with Xiao Chen? I'm too tired and want to go home first."
Seeing her furrowed brows, Chen Jingzhou asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Hemei slammed her phone down, her face scrunched up. "My mom abandoned me and went back home first."
Chen Jingzhou instinctively picked up his phone and received the same text message as hers: [It's so late, are you still with Xiaomei? Your dad and I are sleepy, so we took a taxi home. You two have fun. If it gets too late, you can see her off. We'll wait for you at home.]
Seeing that he remained silent, Xu Hemei hesitated before asking, "Were you abandoned too?"
Chen Jingzhou forced a smile. "Yes."
Xu Hemei couldn't help but laugh, "Then I'm not too pitiful."
Chen Jingzhou laughed and asked, "It is indeed quite late. Do you need me to take you home?"
Xu Hemei waved her hand, "No need, I can take a taxi myself."
Chen Jingzhou picked up his coffee and stood up, also helping her carry a few shopping bags. "Let's go, it's too late to take a taxi."
"Ah."
After leaving the coffee shop, the two parted ways.
Chen Jingzhou went back to get his car, while Xu Hemei hailed a taxi as she walked out.
There are thirty people ahead of me in the waiting list.
Xu Hemei was puzzled, "Why are there so many people..."
"Come on, hurry up, there's a fireworks display and a lantern show at Jiangbin Park..." Passersby hurriedly brushed past her.
Xu Hemei sighed, "No wonder..."
In this situation, all we could do was wait. More than ten minutes later, a black Audi slowly pulled up beside us. The passenger window rolled down, and a man's superior profile came into view.
