Chapter 237 Xu Damao's Plan
Qin Jingru raised her head and saw the expression on Qin Huairu's face, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Is it about Xu Damao?" Qin Jingru's voice trembled, trying to find a trace of comfort from Qin Huairu's face. However, Qin Huairu's shaking head made her lose all hope in an instant.
"He...he is not what you think." Qin Huairu took a deep breath and decided not to hide it anymore. "He has unclear relationships with the new broadcaster and the buyer."
Qin Jingru's face turned pale instantly, she couldn't believe her ears.
"No... Impossible!" She shook her head, her voice filled with despair, "He promised me that he would marry me on October 10!"
Qin Huairu looked at her sister's painful expression and felt helpless.
"Jingru, wake up." She gently held Qin Jingru's hand, "Xu Damao is not a person worthy of entrusting your life to."
Qin Jingru burst into tears. She couldn't accept this cruel reality. She once trusted Xu Damao so much and looked forward to their future, but now, everything has vanished. She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. Helplessness and despair filled her heart.
"Sister...what should I do?" Qin Jingru asked with a sob. She didn't know how to face this sudden blow.
Qin Huairu looked at her sister in pain and felt pain in her heart. She knew that she had to stand up and help her sister.
"Jingru, listen to me." She held Qin Jingru's hand tightly. "I will help you. But you have to promise me that you will listen to me in the future and not be fooled by men's sweet words again."
Qin Jingru raised her head and looked at Qin Huairu with tears in her eyes. She knew that the only person she could rely on now was this sister who always cared about her.
"Sister...I promise you." She choked up and said, "I will definitely listen to you in the future."
Qin Huairu looked at her sister's determined eyes and felt a little relieved. She knew that it was not easy to help Qin Jingru out of this predicament, but she was willing to give everything for her sister.
However, before deciding how to help Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu also fell into deep hesitation. She knew that Xu Damao was not an easy person to deal with, and Qin Jingru's reputation and future also affected the interests of the entire family. She had to weigh the pros and cons and make a wise decision.
"Sister, do you think Xu Damao will really marry me?" Qin Jingru's voice trembled slightly.
Qin Huairu patted the back of her hand gently and comforted her: "Jingru, don't worry, as long as we plan properly, Xu Damao will definitely marry you. By then, our two families will be relatives. How can he not take care of our family?"
Qin Jingru nodded, but she was still worried. She knew that although Xu Damao came from a good family, he was a bit unkind. She was worried that even if they got married, it would be difficult for him to treat her sincerely.
However, Qin Huairu was full of confidence. She had already planned everything in her mind, and when the time was right, she could take Xu Damao into her pocket.
At this time, Xu Damao was immersed in his own world. Since his divorce, he began to let go of himself and pursue a new life. He no longer cared about Qin Jingru's feelings, but began to look for a new partner.
Yu Haitang, who worked at the radio station, and You Fengxia, who worked at the purchasing station, became his targets.
The two not only have outstanding looks, but also have formal jobs, which makes them more attractive than Qin Jingru. Xu Damao began to appear in their sight frequently, trying to win their hearts in various ways.
However, Yu Haitang was dismissive of Xu Damao's pursuit. She looked at Xu Damao's greasy face and was filled with disgust. When Xu Damao invited her to see a movie, she refused without hesitation.
"Xu Damao, don't waste your time on me. I won't accept your pursuit." Yu Haitang said coldly.
Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then he explained: "Haitang, you misunderstood. You Fengxia and I are just colleagues, and the person I care about most is you."
Yu Haitang sneered and asked, "Then why do you keep looking for You Fengxia recently? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
Xu Damao was speechless and could only smile awkwardly. He looked at Yu Haitang affectionately, hoping that she would change her mind. But Yu Haitang was unmoved and turned away.
Xu Damao sat on the bench in disappointment, feeling frustrated. At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Xu Damao, come out!"
Xu Damao was startled and looked up, only to see a burly man walking towards him angrily. His heart tightened, not knowing what had happened.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Xu Damao asked, trying to remain calm.
"I am You Fengxia's fiancé!" the man roared, "You dare to seduce my wife? I will break your legs!"
Xu Damao was immediately frightened out of his wits. He had not expected that his pursuit would lead to such trouble. He quickly explained: "It's a misunderstanding! You Fengxia and I are just colleagues..."
But the man would not listen to any explanation, he rushed forward and grabbed Xu Damao by the collar. The two of them immediately wrestled together...
A middle-aged man hurried in, his face full of panic and his eyes revealing a bit of uneasiness. He was Xu Damao, a veteran employee of the Propaganda Department. He was usually known for his shrewdness and ability, but at this moment he looked a little embarrassed.
"Xu Damao, what's wrong with you? You look so flustered." A colleague asked curiously.
Before Xu Damao could answer, another figure appeared at the door. It was a middle-aged woman, dressed simply but with a firm look in her eyes. As soon as she entered the door, she walked straight towards Xu Damao, holding a note in her hand.
"Xu Damao, don't forget what you promised me!" Widow Zhao's voice echoed in the office.
When Xu Damao saw Widow Zhao, his face suddenly became even uglier. He thought Widow Zhao had left, but he didn't expect her to find him. He secretly felt lucky that he had divorced Widow Zhao, otherwise he would be in real trouble this time.
"Zhao...Widow Zhao (Li Hao Zhao), why are you here?" Xu Damao asked stutteringly.
Widow Zhao ignored Xu Damao's panic and handed him the note.
"Here's the IOU you wrote. It's for one thousand dollars. You promised me!"
Xu Damao took the IOU and smiled bitterly. He did write this IOU, but that was before he and Widow Zhao divorced, and he wrote it to make her happy. He didn't expect that it would become her evidence to ask him to pay back the money.
“Widow Zhao, listen to me…” Xu Damao tried to explain, but Widow Zhao interrupted him.
