C28 (2/2)

So once again, everyone raised their glasses and toasted her. It was really a joyous laughter, but they didn't know the meaning behind it. Furthermore, her smile was definitely an awkward one, but no one cared about her thoughts.

At this moment, Director Zhang suddenly said, ”Little Hu, are you married yet?”

Such a private question like this, if it wasn't asked on this occasion, then it definitely wouldn't be private at all. However, in this large private room, of the ten or so people present, only she was a woman, and she didn't even know any of these people, how could it not be sudden?

Moreover, although this question seemed very casual, everyone knew who the people sitting here were. Everyone was intelligent, and the meaning behind this was something that no one believed, so how was she going to answer it? In the end, she still chose the compromise method and tactfully smiled, ”Hehe, thank you for your concern, Director Zhang.”

As expected, the moment he said that, Chief Shen immediately understood. He said without any other meaning, ”It seems like Xiao Hu isn't married yet. Does that boyfriend have one?”

Would they care about her little screwdriver's love life? So don't blame her for thinking too much. She seemed to think that it would be better if she admitted to being together with that Xu De just now. It would be a dilemma if she didn't answer his question.

However, what made her even more helpless was that at this time, there were some people who didn't care about the big deal and saw Xu Tiebao very helpful, helping her speak up a truth that she never intended to admit. He even said with a gloating tone, ”I know, I just broke up.”

As soon as he said that, in less than two seconds, Director Shen was full of energy. He raised his glass and said: ”Little Hu, come here. This old thing won't come if you don't go and get new ones.”

What else could she say? These people all spoke the same words, each one of them was very normal, with no other meaning, and the meaning behind their words was very caring. Thus, she could only accept and thank them, ”Thank you, Director Shen.”

After that, she ate excitedly, discussing some topics that she did not dare to be interested in and did not understand. She only saw the Chief's flattery mixed in with the constant chattering, ”Come, come, let's eat …”

After this pause, she had a rough understanding of everyone's face. Apart from her and Xu Te, everyone had a family and high status. However, there weren't many people in this large group who were innocent.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Te had helped her bring the fence, there might have been a few people who wanted to keep her. The others were just there to watch a good show.

This wasn't considered a tragedy, what was tragic was that she had drunk enough from the Hedgerow [1], but they still had another stall! Moreover, they had already reserved a place to pass by. If things continued like this, something would definitely happen.

So no matter what, she had to reject him this time. She couldn't have any intentions of harming him, but she had to be wary of him. She was not a person who sought wealth, and she definitely wouldn't do something like selling her body. Although at her age, it was too late if she didn't catch something, she was really a principled person.

However, at this time, the bureau chief was not happy and shouted, ”Please sing a song for me, are you not going to give me face?”

Seeing the director's serious expression, she really didn't have the guts. But today, this amount was almost the limit, it didn't matter now but she definitely couldn't go on, so she defended herself with certainty: ”Bureau Chief, I really can't go on. Plus, bringing a girl like me with me would be inconvenient for so many bosses.”

She was also talking about something important, but the director didn't think so, so he said meaningfully, ”Little Hu, it's normal for us to chat and laugh at the dinner table. If you really look at it that much, then you and the other two bosses interacted a bit too much just now.”
