Chapter 331 Deng Wanwan's Rejection
In mid-March, Gao Mingcheng returned to the village to plant trees, and in early April, Xuanyue also returned to the village.
The county's Xinxin clothing store was now run by Gao Shufang and Deng Wanwan. Gao Shufang was responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts, and she suddenly felt overwhelmed.
In addition to work pressure, there is also the temptation of money.
The store's daily turnover is quite large. Faced with so much money, Gao Shufang's conscience is tested again and again.
After finishing the account book every day, she would keep some change for change, and hide the remaining large sum in the room where Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyue lived.
There is a cabinet specifically for storing money. The cabinet is locked, and there is another lock outside the door. With two locks there, it is relatively safe.
Now the keys to these two locks are kept by Gao Shufang, so she has to work diligently every day for fear of making any mistakes.
But mistakes still happened!
But it wasn’t about business, but a quarrel between her fourth brother and Deng Wanwan.
To be precise, it was Deng Wanwan who unilaterally scolded Gao Mingli.
Deng Wanwan looked at Gao Mingli with a cold and expressionless face, and said loudly: "I said I don't like you, don't bother me anymore!"
Perhaps it was because spring had arrived, or perhaps it was because Mr. and Mrs. Gao Mingcheng were not around, but Gao Mingli gradually grew bolder and could no longer conceal his love for Deng Wanwan.
He began to stick to Deng Wanwan and began to secretly express his love for her.
His behavior was quite obvious, so Deng Wanwan naturally knew that he was pursuing her, but instead of agreeing, she tried to avoid him.
But she looked after the store downstairs during the day and rested upstairs at night, and had nowhere else to go. When Gao Mingli decided to pester her, she had no way to avoid him.
Privately, she had clearly rejected Gao Mingli, but Gao Mingli did not take it seriously. Instead, he thought she was shy. Although he restrained himself later, his eyes were like hooks. Wherever Deng Wanwan went, he followed.
This made Deng Wanwan feel like a thorn in her back and extremely uncomfortable. In the end, she couldn't help it and told the whole thing in front of Gao Shufang in the store.
Gao Shufang heard the noise and looked in the direction of the sound, but her expression was confused.
She has been under a lot of pressure and has a lot of work to do recently. All her attention is focused on the clothing store. In her free time, she doesn't even read magazines or newspapers.
Therefore, she didn't pay any attention to what happened between Gao Mingli and Deng Wanwan.
After being loudly rejected by Deng Wanwan, Gao Mingli finally lost face.
His face turned green and red, and he stammered, "Why don't you like me? Do you think my salary is too low? The factory said that in a few months, I will be made a regular employee, and after that, my salary will be higher."
Deng Wanwan frowned. She had made her point so clearly, but Gao Mingli still refused to give up and even labeled her as a woman who only cared about money.
If Gao Mingli appeared in her life before that incident and was willing to pursue her, she would most likely agree.
But now, it is impossible for her to agree to Gao Mingli's pursuit. First, she feels that she is dirty, and she feels that men are even dirtier, so she doesn't want to be touched by men again.
Second, Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei both knew what she had experienced, so how could they agree to Gao Mingli marrying her?
So, after realizing that Gao Mingli liked her, she had been avoiding him and never responded. Her only response before was a rejection.
But the young man had the courage to pursue love and did not back down because of her rejection.
"I won't like anyone, let alone get married. It has nothing to do with whether you have money or not. Don't bother me anymore. If you bother me, you just want to drive me away!" Deng Wanwan said calmly. At the same time, she made up her mind that if Gao Mingli continued to pester her, she would resign.
She was reluctant to give up this job because she and her parents needed the salary, but who could blame Gao Mingli because he was Gao Mingcheng's younger brother?
Therefore, she didn't think Gao Mingcheng would do anything for her.
Sometimes, the weak can only avoid.
"Wait! What happened?" Gao Shufang walked over with a confused look on her face. She first glanced at Deng Wanwan, then looked at her fourth brother and said, "Fourth brother, do you like Wanwan?"
Gao Mingli said nothing, but his eyes showed it clearly.
Gao Shufang didn't know about Deng Wanwan's past. Instead, she thought that Deng Wanwan was a good girl. Since Fourth Brother liked her, she would definitely agree.
So she subconsciously said to Deng Wanwan: "Wanwan, is it because my fourth brother doesn't know how to talk that you are angry? Actually, my fourth brother is a very good person. Why don't you consider it? I think it would be nice for you to be my fourth sister-in-law."
Deng Wanwan pursed her lips, looked at Gao Mingli, then at Gao Shufang, and then walked out of the store without saying a word. She walked quickly, and even the darkening sky outside could not stop her from leaving.
"This..." Gao Shufang was dumbfounded.
She didn't know why Deng Wanwan was so angry and left just because she gave her a few words of advice.
She immediately questioned her fourth brother and asked, "Did you do anything excessive to her?"
Gao Mingli had an innocent look on his face and quickly shook his head to deny: "How is that possible! I definitely didn't do anything excessive! I just told her that I like her and that I want to marry her in the future, and then asked her what she thought!"
Gao Mingli felt very wronged.
This was the first time the young man had someone he liked. Although he had no experience before, he had at least witnessed other people's blind dates. In his opinion, if Deng Wanwan liked him, she would respond to him. Even if she didn't, he could slowly make Deng Wanwan fall in love with him.
But Deng Wanwan's behavior surprised him.
She actually rejected me loudly and left directly!
Gao Mingli stared outside the store in a daze, not knowing what to do.
It was Gao Shufang who reacted and said immediately, "Fourth brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring Wanwan back! It will be dark soon, and it's not safe for her to be outside alone."
"Oh." After being reminded, Gao Mingli quickly chased after him.
But he stood outside the store and looked around, but he didn't see Deng Wanwan for a while.
He didn't know where Deng Wanwan lived, nor did he know where she would run to, so he could only chase in the direction she left.
Half an hour later, it was completely dark.
Gao Mingli dragged his tired body back to the clothing store.
When Gao Shufang saw him, she immediately asked, "Where's Wanwan?"
Gao Mingli shook his head, indicating that he did not succeed in pursuing Deng Wanwan.
He really didn't know where Deng Wanwan had gone. He looked everywhere for her outside, but couldn't find her.
In the end, he had no choice but to come back, hoping that Deng Wanwan would calm down and come back on her own initiative.
After all, Deng Wanwan still lives here. Where else can she go if she doesn’t come back?
Thinking of this, Gao Mingli suddenly felt panicked.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll look for it again!"
Having said that, he went out again.
Gao Shufang was stunned with shock, and then she realized she was hungry.
I turned my head to look at the kitchen in the backyard. It was cold and deserted, and no one had lit a fire to cook.
Gao Shufang could only lock all her money in a drawer and then cook by herself. Fortunately, she had an electric rice cooker, which made cooking very convenient. After washing the rice, she could wash, cut and cook the vegetables.
There was a piece of tofu and some vegetables in the kitchen, so she decided to just cook something.
In the end, the meal was ready, but Gao Mingli and Deng Wanwan still hadn't come back.
This made Gao Shufang a little scared.
She quickly closed the shutter of the clothing store. Clothing stores usually have no business at night. She was the only one at home at this time, and she was afraid that strangers would come in, so it made her feel more at ease to close the door.
About half an hour later, someone knocked on the door and heard a voice. It was her fourth brother who came back.
As soon as the door opened, Gao Shufang asked, "Fourth brother, have you brought Wanwan back?"
At the same time, Gao Mingli also asked, "Is Wanwan back?"
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw that there was no one else around each other.
So the brother and sister immediately looked at each other.
Deng Wanwan didn't come back! Where did she go?
