Chapter 287: Revealing Feelings
After drinking the jar of wine, Song Zhijin's body was still a little shaky and she almost fell to the ground. However, seeing Xu Miaomiao was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, she steadied herself and did not make a fool of herself.
Perhaps because she drank too much, Song Zhijin was a little drunk. She actually went forward, climbed onto Nangong Jin's arm and put her face against it.
Nangong Jin was stunned by her sudden action, and quickly ordered his men to say, "Take Madam Song to rest quickly, she is already a little drunk."
"I'm not. Who said I was drunk? I'm not."
Song Zhijin was supported by the soldiers and kept talking. She stared at Nangong Jin and said, "I want to be with Ah Jin. I'm not drunk."
When Xu Miaomiao heard his sudden confession, her eyebrows raised, and she looked at Nangong Jin with interest. As expected, when Nangong Jin heard this, she frowned and waved at the soldiers in dissatisfaction, and the soldiers quickly helped Song Zhijin down.
Song Zhijin always tried carefully to create the impression in front of Nangong Jin that she didn't like Nangong Jin, but today all her efforts failed.
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but find it a little ridiculous.
"What are you laughing at, Madam Xu?" Nangong Jin looked at her and couldn't help but ask out loud out of curiosity.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and raised a bowl of wine to Nangong Jin: "This time, Mr. Nangong has returned with a great victory. Miaomiao toasts you a glass."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao drank the wine in secret in one gulp.
Nangong Jin also laughed and drank the wine.
Perhaps it was because the two of them began to consciously distance themselves from each other since the last incident, or perhaps it was because Xu Miaomiao had been avoiding Nangong Jin, the banquet ended very quickly.
Xu Miaomiao collected the opinions of everyone in the army and left without saying a few more words to Nangong Jin.
As it was still early, Xu Miaomiaomiao returned to the department store. Seeing that the store was empty, she was puzzled and lifted the curtain. Only then did she see Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan flirting with each other.
Gu Yuanniang felt a little embarrassed when she was bumped into by Xu Miaomiao, and quickly declined Xu Qingshan.
Xu Qingshan touched his head awkwardly, then looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "We are ignorant and we are sorry that Madam Xu is offended."
"No problem, no problem." Xu Miaomiao waved at the two of them with a smile, looked around the room, and asked, "Where is Wei Wei?"
"These days, she always goes to Xiangchunfang to drink with Manager Wan. I guess today is also over."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the sky and frowned slightly. Song Weiwei was still an unmarried girl after all. It was not a good thing for her to drink with Manager Wan all day long, especially until so late.
"It's getting late. Liu Niang, pack up your things, close the shop and go back home."
"What about you?"
Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and said curiously, "I'll go pick up Song Weiwei. It's so late now, and it's inevitable that she'll have some accidents."
"good."
Hearing Gu Yuanniang's response, Xu Miaomiao nodded and drove out in the carriage.
When we arrived at the door of Xiangchunfang, it was still crowded inside. There were few people drinking during the day, but as night fell, more and more people started to come to the pub.
Xu Miaomiao patrolled the store, and when Xiao Si came forward and was about to serve him, she waved her hand and asked him to leave.
Seeing that they were not on the first floor, Xu Miaomiao went upstairs. As soon as she went upstairs, she heard the sound of laughter coming from the house.
Xu Miaomiao pushed the door open and saw Song Weiwei, who was drinking heavily and sitting on a chair, with her saliva about to flow down.
Shopkeeper Wan, who was standing by, stared at Song Weiwei lovingly and slowly reached out his hand to touch her cheek.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "Manager Wan, long time no see."
The hand that had just been extended was startled by the sudden sound and was immediately retracted.
Shopkeeper Wan smiled awkwardly, looked at Xu Miaomiao and slowly said, "Why is Madam Xu here? I was drinking with Madam Song!"
Xu Miaomiao glanced at Song Weiwei who was sleeping beside her and said, "My little sister is the most ignorant. It's so late, but she still insisted on delaying Mr. Wan and dragging you to drink with her. I apologize to you here on her behalf."
"No, no." Shopkeeper Wan immediately said, "Madam Song is straightforward, dares to love and hate, and has her own unique opinions on the tasting of fine wines. It was I who wanted to drink with her, Madam Xu, please don't blame her."
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly, then turned her gaze to the man and said, "Mr. Wan, since you've said that, I naturally won't blame her. It's just that she's been coming here every day these days, which must have caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Wan. When I go back today, I will persuade her not to drink in the future. Even if she wants to drink, it's best to drink at home, where we can see her. Don't let her do anything stupid and upset others."
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wan understood what Xu Miaomiao meant, and he quickly stood up and saluted Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu is right, I will never let her come to my Xiangchunfang and get drunk like this again in the future."
"Thank you very much, Manager Wan." Xu Miaomiao bowed slightly, then walked over and helped Song Weiwei up.
"Madam Xu, please be careful." Manager Wan said to Xu Miaomiao while escorting her.
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly at her. This era was extremely feudal. Wei Wei was a woman. If she was so drunk and was helped into the carriage by others, she would probably not be able to explain herself. So Xu Miaomiao could only send Wei Wei to the carriage alone, said goodbye to Manager Wan, and then drove towards the Song Mansion.
Looking at Song Weiwei who was unconscious in the car, Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly. Ever since Yu Jinhuai left, she couldn't guess what Song Weiwei was thinking.
But they could see clearly the sadness in her heart. Perhaps only after getting drunk could she forget all those things.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and looked at Song Weiwei with some heartache. She was not very old, but she was dating these two people who were not very good. One of them was deliberately taking advantage of her and was not sincere to her at all. He only thought about how to cheat him of his money and sell her. The other one was sincere to her, but there was a huge gap in their social status. There was no way for him to stay with her forever, and it was even unknown whether they could meet in the future.
Xu Miaomiao secretly thought that perhaps because the carriage was shaking too much, the unconscious Song Weiwei woke up slowly. When she saw Xu Miaomiao, she was a little surprised: "Why are you here? Are you also greedy for Xiangchunfang's wine and want to come over and get drunk with me?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at her unconscious appearance, shook her head helplessly and pressed her into the carriage.
