Chapter 92 Pretending Not to Know
Li Zhiye didn't dare say more and turned to look out the window. After living together for so many years, the two of them had developed a tacit understanding. Li Zhiye knew when to shut up. If he said one more word, Wang Fang would lose her temper.
But Li Zhiye thought in his heart that he was right. Zhang Yang was a good boy, and when he stood together with Xin Tianyi, the two of them really matched well.
Only a fool could not see that they were a couple.
Li Zhiye complained silently in his heart, and the corner of his mouth that was unintentionally raised was reflected on the car window glass, and was seen clearly by Wang Fang.
Wang Fang couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
"Did I laugh?" Li Zhiye immediately put on a serious expression and said, "I didn't laugh."
"You laughed!" Wang Fang said immediately.
"Oh, maybe he saw something outside." Li Zhiye looked at Wang Fang, "It wasn't intentional."
It was a cover-up in the first place, but the last sentence makes it even more obvious.
Wang Fang had already guessed what Li Zhiye was thinking, but she followed the principle that if you don't ask, you don't know, so she rolled her eyes and ignored Li Zhiye.
But the journey was boring and long, and Wang Fang couldn't keep silent for long. Finally, after the train had been traveling for two hours, she finally spoke.
She asked Li Zhiye, "Do you really think Zhang Yang is good?"
"Yes," Li Zhiye said immediately. "Although I've only met him a few times, he left a very good impression on me. He's bold, careful, and sincere. Of course, his appearance goes without saying; his external qualities are evident at a glance."
"You speak so highly of him?" Wang Fang disagreed, but she had to admit in her heart that what Li Zhiye said was true.
"He came home from work and came to see us without even going inside..." Li Zhiye paused, "To see our dad. He got up early the next day and came to see us off. He also bought breakfast, and every item was prepared according to your preferences."
Li Zhiye fell silent and carefully observed Wang Fang's expression. Seeing that although she looked unhappy, she had no intention of stopping him, he continued, "I think that child is really good to Tianyi, even better than a real brother and sister."
Wang Fang's eyes fixed as she looked at the trees outside the window that were desperately retreating backwards, and she kept weighing Li Zhiye's words in her mind.
Wei Ran and Dabao, children who grew up together, were also at home. They would greet each other on the way to New Year's Eve and say Happy New Year. No one had ever made such a grand gesture like Zhang Yang, sending gifts without even entering the house. Not to mention seeing me off on the train.
Wang Fang's attempts to pretend she didn't know, didn't see, and wasn't aware of anything were limited.
Zhang Yang is a good boy, there is nothing wrong with him in every aspect.
But……
Wang Fang thought again of Zhang Yang's family, of Pei Juanjuan's dislike for Zhang Yang since childhood, of Zhang Yang's brother Zhang Mao, and finally of Zhang Liangpeng...
Wang Fang immediately denied all of this.
She decided to just pretend she didn't know.
If you pretend not to know and don't interfere, it is very likely that the two of you will break up while still together.
If you interfere and oppose too much, the two of them might just tie themselves up and run away!
Wang Fang thought again of Zhang Yang studying abroad. Such a young child had been alone abroad for so many years, and he had nothing to be afraid of. What if someone opposed it, and they ran away from the country again?
Wang Fang didn’t dare to think about it anymore!
She decided to pretend she didn't know.
Wang Fang picked up the cup, blew on the tea leaves, took a few sips, and then said slowly: "The water is not hot, the tea leaves are not steeped."
Li Zhiye picked up the thermos, opened it and took a look. The tea in this one was indeed very good, so he handed it to Wang Fang: "You drink this one. Yours was brewed with water from the train, so it probably didn't boil well."
Wang Fang nodded, took it, took a sip, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.
She nodded and praised, "This is good. The tea leaves are placed just right, and the water temperature is just right."
Li Zhiye knew that Wang Fang didn't want to bring up the previous topic anymore, but he couldn't help but say it.
Because this tea was prepared by Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang soaked it." Li Zhiye said slowly.
Wang Fang glared at him again.
…
Zhang Yang got drunk that night and spent the night at Wei Ran's house. In the morning he went to see Wang Fang and Li Zhiye off, and he never returned home.
In the morning, Wang Fang went out to buy vegetables and happened to meet Du Lurui.
Du Lurui was still angry about Cheng Tianlan's matter, and seeing Wei Ran was drunk because of this matter, she got up in the morning to buy vegetables and cook soup.
Seeing Wang Fang walking in front, Du Lurui quickly quickened her pace.
"Juanjuan, are you going to buy groceries?"
After retiring, Pei Juanjuan started buying groceries and cooking at home. Her favorite time of the day was the morning, when she met fewer people and didn't have to face Zhang Mao at home. Unexpectedly, she ran into Du Lurui and quickly said with a smile, "Well, you went shopping too?"
"I drank too much yesterday." Du Lurui sighed, "I bought a fish and made some fish soup."
Pei Juanjuan nodded.
The two walked towards the cotton mill together and saw a small truck parked at the gate from a distance.
Someone was carrying things out and stuffing them into the truck.
Du Lurui whispered to Pei Juanjuan, "Another one has moved away."
"Yeah." Pei Juanjuan sighed, "More and more people have moved away recently. The young people have all left, and only the old bones like us are left."
"Who says it's not?" Du Lurui said, "I don't know when this compound will be demolished."
"Is there any news?" Pei Juanjuan asked immediately.
"No." Du Lurui said, "That's what I guessed too. Almost everyone in the nearby residential area has moved out, so they're going to build a building, right? It's only a matter of time before we move in."
"Where are we moving to?"
"If you have money, buy a house. If you don't have money, go back to your hometown!" Du Lurui suddenly remembered something when she said this, and hurriedly said to Pei Juanjuan: "You said we don't have this awareness. Houses in the provincial capital were so cheap back then. You know Wang Fang, she bought two small villas and it seems she also bought a building. The prices have gone up in the past two years. Tsk tsk."
"It really is!" Pei Juanjuan sighed, "Why didn't we think of it?"
"If you want it, you have to have money to buy it." Du Lurui looked at Pei Juanjuan with a smile, "But you can be so ostentatious. They are legal consultants for a multinational corporation and they make a lot of money."
Pei Juanjuan fell silent. Zhang Yang was the only one who was proud of her family now. Unlike before, she only felt alive and her face was still there when people talked about him. She tucked the fallen hair behind her ear and said, "Hey, Zhang Yang is okay."
"It's not okay at all. I heard from Wei Ran that Zhang Yang's salary is very high, and there are bonuses during the Chinese New Year. He earns all his money in US dollars!" Du Lurui said, and then added: "I see you didn't buy any fish or anything. So, why don't you ask Zhang Yang to come to my house for soup? They all love to drink soup after drinking. If you ask Zhang Yang to come, you don't have to do it."
Pei Juanjuan looked puzzled and asked Du Lurui, "Zhang Yang? Zhang Yang is back?"
