Chapter 425 A Bad Intuition
Her experience was very tragic.
But isn't Shen Zhixia's situation just as tragic?
Shouldn't Shen Zhixia be crying to her, complaining to her, and lamenting the unfairness of life? Shouldn't she be living a miserable life, becoming a bitter woman, and ultimately regretting it for the rest of her life?
Just like her.
Anyway, she's already rotten, and Shen Zhixia should rot in the mud just like her, but why is she still so radiant?
Jiang Wu seemed somewhat lost and dejected.
She originally thought she could stay in the darkness forever, since she had already gotten used to it, but after seeing Shen Zhixia, her Dao heart became unstable.
It's certainly a pity that she's not doing well herself, but seeing her old friends doing so well makes her grit her teeth in resentment.
She felt generally unwell.
Just then, someone called out to her: "Jiang Wu."
Jiang Wu turned her head and saw her colleague, a man in his twenties. When she first joined the factory, there were many things she didn't understand, and this colleague helped her a lot. She also had a good impression of him.
Many people in the factory are not well-educated and do rough and dirty work. As long as you have hands, you can do it. She does fruit cleaning work. Because she has to process a lot of fruit every day, her hands have become very rough.
But her hands were clearly meant for playing the piano, so why are they being made to do these things now? She simply doesn't want to.
She concealed her true thoughts and smiled, "Comrade Yuan, is there something you need from me?"
She had a very good impression of Yuan Lianhai, and he was also quite good-looking. If Yuan Lianhai had been willing to marry her back then, she wouldn't have had so many complaints.
Before her family's misfortune, she could choose any good man she wanted. Although Yuan Lianhai was good in many ways, his family background was still inferior to hers, and she might not have agreed to marry him. But now, even if she wanted to marry a man like Yuan Lianhai, it would be a luxury.
She could only choose a man who was this old and divorced.
Yuan Lianhai smiled and said with a smile, "I just wanted to ask, who was that girl you were with just now?"
Jiang Wu didn't take it to heart, so she said, "That's a good friend of mine from before. We ran into each other this time and chatted for a while."
Yuan Lianhai said somewhat embarrassedly, "Could you introduce me to her?"
"Wh...what?" Jiang Wu thought she had misheard and asked incredulously.
Yuan Lianhai became even more shy: "I just felt that she looked kind and I wanted to be friends with her."
That's a really lame excuse.
Jiang Wu didn't want to expose him, but she could tell that Yuan Lianhai had his eye on Shen Zhixia.
That's ridiculous.
When Yuan Lianhai used to take good care of her, she fantasized that he might like her. If it were true, she would be willing to be with him, since he was better than her fifty-year-old husband. But later, she discovered that Yuan Lianhai had no such intentions at all.
After her misfortune struck, Yuan Lianhai also looked down on her. Back then, she would have married any man, no matter how good he was.
Jiang Wu's voice turned cold as she said, "She is Shen Zhixia. Have you heard of the Shen family? They used to be quite famous in Shanghai. She is the daughter of a capitalist. After the incident, her parents were imprisoned and it's unlikely they will be released for the rest of their lives."
"She also has a younger sister who was also sent to the countryside. I don't know how she's doing now, but it's certainly not good. The old Shen family house has also been sold off."
For some reason, she felt a sense of relief after talking about these things.
Yuan Lianhai actually took a liking to Shen Zhixia. Although she didn't want to admit it, Shen Zhixia's face was indeed very deceptive. Even though they had both given birth and were about the same age, Shen Zhixia looked five years younger than her.
But so what?
No matter how beautiful they are on the outside, it can't change their inner selves. They are all the same. Shen Zhixia's home was also destroyed.
There was no disdain in Yuan Lianhai's eyes; he simply said thoughtfully, "Well, she's had a tough time too."
Jiang Wu suddenly said in a huff, "She's lucky. She married a military officer and is living a good life now. She doesn't have to worry about her family. She just stays with her husband, and he can protect her."
"Her husband held a pretty high official position, I think he was a deputy division commander, so she was quite powerful."
After saying these words, she looked at Yuan Lianhai to see his reaction.
Anyway, Shen Zhixia is not only a capitalist's daughter who has been persecuted and has a bad family background, but she is also already married, so Yuan Lianhai has no chance at all.
She refused to believe that after all she had said, Yuan Lianhai could still have any feelings for Shen Zhixia.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Lianhai nodded, his expression unchanged, and said, "So that's how it is."
Jiang Wu said, "Yes."
After she finished speaking, Yuan Lianhai did not ask any further questions about Shen Zhixia, but she did not feel happy. Instead, she felt a tightness in her chest, as if there was a suffocating feeling inside.
Yuan Lianhai didn't understand Shen Zhixia at all. He only glanced at her and was already interested in her. So why didn't he take a liking to himself back then?
Is it because she's not pretty enough?
No, she used to be very young and beautiful, but that's all in the past. Now, she really looks like a middle-aged woman.
Jiang Wu's face was full of mockery.
Shen Zhixia has indeed been very busy these days. During the day, she has been accompanying the factory manager to introduce his canned goods.
`
After getting off work again today, she ran into Jiang Wu again.
Since the last time, their interactions haven't been very pleasant, and she originally thought Jiang Wu wouldn't come looking for her.
Jiang Wu said, "Xia, you are my best friend, even though it's all in the past. I've always kept you in my heart. I know I won't have many chances to see you again in the future, so I cherish this time to catch up with you."
She smiled bitterly and said, "As you know, given my situation, I won't be able to control my own life from now on."
Shen Zhixia said, "You don't need to be so pessimistic. Maybe things will get better in the future. Who knows?"
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "I hope so. I want to buy some clothes. Will you come with me?"
Shen Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
After all, Jiang Wu was also a good friend of the original owner.
Shen Zhixia didn't buy anything, but Jiang Wu bought a dress. When the two of them came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they encountered a young man.
"Comrade Jiang, what a coincidence!"
As Yuan Lianhai spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia frowned; her intuition told her that this man was no good.
