Chapter 2186: Chapter 2179: Helping Mo Xiaoxiao
It was Mo Xiaoxiao.
"What’s up? Why the long face?" Mo Xiaoxiao clasped her hands behind her back and asked with a giggle.
"You’re Mo Xiaoxiao?" Seeing the Little Beauty behind him, Wang Dadong froze for a second, and only reacted after quite a while.
"What, you forget me this fast?" Mo Xiaoxiao pouted when she saw that Wang Dadong actually wasn’t sure who she was, looking a bit unhappy.
Wang Dadong let his gaze sweep over Mo Xiaoxiao, cleared his throat and said, "No, it’s just... you’ve changed quite a bit lately?"
Mo Xiaoxiao instantly brightened up again, even deliberately puffing out her chest as she asked, "So what exactly has changed about me?"
Wang Dadong scrutinized her for a few seconds, then said, "You’ve gotten bigger."
"Bigger where?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked that with her mouth, but inside she was over the moon.
She hadn’t expected Wang Dadong’s "technique" to be that amazing—just a few months and he’d actually helped her go from flat plains to raging waves.
She could finally hold her head—and her chest—up high as a woman.
"Your dark circles got bigger."
"..."
Mo Xiaoxiao was speechless. This guy, is it that hard for him to just compliment her?
Though to be fair, her dark circles really were a bit heavy today.
"Wang Dadong, do you still remember what you promised Huihui?" Only then did Mo Xiaoxiao remember the real reason she’d come today.
"Can we do it another day?" Wang Dadong himself was already depressed to death right now. He had no idea how to coax the Female CEO back into a good mood; how could he have the heart to go help some other Girl?
"Wang Dadong, are you going or not? If you’re not, I’m gonna start yelling." Though Mo Xiaoxiao had a loli face, her personality was actually the fierce type. She immediately threatened him.
"Help, pervert! Pervert harassing a woman!" The moment she finished speaking, Wang Dadong shrank his body in, looking at her with a face full of terror, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Damn, you, you... shut up, quick!" It was just work hours, quite a few Jinding Building employees were passing by the entrance, and their gazes instantly turned toward them.
"Hey hey hey, stop yelling, I was wrong, okay?" Mo Xiaoxiao was so anxious she was almost crying.
You’re a grown-ass man, do you have to be this shameless? Even if I wanted to harass you, I’d have to be able to pull it off first...
"Alright, alright, I don’t need your help anymore, okay? Just stop yelling!" Under all the strange looks from the people around them, Mo Xiaoxiao wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Hearing Mo Xiaoxiao say that, Wang Dadong finally stopped shouting, looking at her with a playful expression—trying to mess with me? You’re still too green.
Mo Xiaoxiao glared at Wang Dadong angrily, her little mouth pouting high, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just turned around and walked off.
Wang Dadong felt that Mo Xiaoxiao probably really had something she wanted his help with, so he immediately chased after her. "Hey, what exactly do you want me to help you with?"
Mo Xiaoxiao tilted her head, gave Wang Dadong a glance, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, it’s nothing."
With that, she lowered her head and walked forward.
"Damn!"
Wang Dadong was pissed. Just now you were begging bro for help, and now that bro’s decided to help you, you suddenly don’t want it.
Isn’t this just playing him?
"Hey, I’m asking one last time, do you want my help or not? If not, I’m really leaving." Wang Dadong said, a bit annoyed.
Mo Xiaoxiao stopped, the look she gave Wang Dadong carrying a hint of sadness. "Forget it, you can’t help me..."
Wang Dadong immediately got unhappy.
What do you mean, I can’t help you?
Is there anything in this world that bro can’t handle?
He immediately said, "Mo Xiaoxiao, is that how little you think of bro?"
"It’s not that I look down on you, it’s just... I feel like it wouldn’t be good for you. After all, there’s nothing between us, and yet I’d be asking you to..." Mo Xiaoxiao trailed off, her expression still full of sadness.
"Mo Xiaoxiao, since you’re Zhou Hui’s good friend, then you’re naturally my good friend too. So your business is my business. No matter what it is, bro’s got your back!" Wang Dadong said.
"Really?" A hint of joy flashed in Mo Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
"Yeah, when bro gives his word, he never goes back on it!" Wang Dadong promised.
"That’s great, Xie Xie, let’s go, quick!" In an instant, Mo Xiaoxiao jumped from sorrow to delight, grabbing Wang Dadong’s hand and dragging him off.
Damn!
How did she switch that fast?
Don’t tell him that whole sad act just now was all fake?
Forget it. Anyway, if it weren’t for Mo Xiaoxiao, he probably would have missed his chance with Zhou Hui. If he could lend a hand, he might as well.
Mo Xiaoxiao’s request was simple: she wanted Wang Dadong to go home with her once.
In fact, the problem Mo Xiaoxiao ran into is something a lot of older single girls face.
Getting nagged about marriage by their families.
Mo Xiaoxiao actually wasn’t that old—around twenty-three or twenty-four.
This age doesn’t count as anything in the city, but in the countryside, a lot of girls get married at eighteen or nineteen.
Technically the legal marriage age for girls in Huaxia is twenty, but that’s nothing in the villages. Lots of people will deliberately bump their age up on paper just to get married early.
So in the countryside, plenty of girls Mo Xiaoxiao’s age already have kids old enough to go buy soy sauce.
And if a rural girl doesn’t get married for a long time, it’s easy for people to gossip about her.
Mo Xiaoxiao, driven to impatience by all the nagging from her family, decided to find someone to pretend for a bit first, just to shut up all those aunties and cousins.
Wang Dadong very naively believed what Mo Xiaoxiao told him, thinking it was just pretending to be a boyfriend.
After all, this wasn’t even his first time doing something like that, so he didn’t overthink it.
But the result...
The two of them spent several hours on the road before they finally arrived at a county hospital.
Tong County People’s Hospital.
There were several people standing at the hospital entrance.
A girl in a white dress in her early twenties, a middle-aged man in his forties, and a middle-aged woman also in her forties.
The girl was quite fair and pretty, while the middle-aged man and woman had dark skin and very plain clothes—one look and you knew they were from the countryside.
Right then, that middle-aged man was gripping the girl’s hand, trying to drag her into the hospital.
But the girl was clinging tightly to the pillar at the entrance and refused to let go no matter what.
"Get in there with me, you shameless thing!" The middle-aged man was furious.
"No, I’m not going, I’m not going!" The girl was crying as she shouted.
There was quite a crowd gathered at the entrance.
They were all pointing at the few of them and gossiping.
In the end, the girl’s strength couldn’t match the middle-aged man’s; her hands slowly slid off the pillar.
Then she was dragged toward the hospital by the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaoxiao immediately rushed over, grabbing the middle-aged man and saying, "Uncle Chu, don’t be like this, I—I brought him for you."
With that, she shot a look at Wang Dadong.
Wang Dadong was a bit dumbfounded, having no idea what was going on, but he’d promised to help Mo Xiaoxiao, so of course he had to step up now. He immediately walked to the front of the crowd.
