Chapter 430 They've Got It All
She ran into Yuan Lianhai here. Yuan Lianhai walked in and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, to run into you here."
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, are you here to eat too?"
Shen Zhixia: "..."
She was speechless for a moment.
I'm speechless.
She absolutely refused to believe it was just a coincidence. Even if the two were putting on an act, it was so fake that she simply didn't believe it.
Yuan Lianhai didn't stand on ceremony at all and sat down without hesitation: "I came here to eat today anyway. Since I've run into you all, let's eat together. You won't mind if I share a table with you, right?"
Jiang Wu said, "I don't mind. We're all friends, let's eat together."
She glanced at Shen Zhixia and said, "Xia, you shouldn't mind, right?"
Shen Zhixia: "?"
They've already made the decision, so it seems a bit fake to ask her if she minds now.
Does she even have the power to decide this matter?
Shen Zhixia said calmly, "Comrade Yuan, I didn't expect your family to be so well-off. You usually eat at state-run restaurants even when you come here for a meal."
Yuan Lianhai seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in her tone. He said, "My family isn't well-off; we're just an ordinary working-class family. As you know, I've always been single. Since I'm single, I don't spend much money, so it's normal for me to occasionally eat at a restaurant."
Shen Zhixia didn't say anything more.
She lowered her head and began to eat.
Actually, she already wanted to leave.
She now understood why Jiang Wu had asked her out today—it was because she had conspired with Yuan Lianhai. This feeling was truly awful, and she disliked it intensely.
However, she is a well-mannered person and does not like to leave food in her bowl. Since she has already served so much rice, she is bound to finish it.
During this time, Yuan Lianhai and Jiang Wu kept talking, but their conversation always revolved around Chen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia didn't want to talk to them, so she just gave perfunctory replies.
Yuan Lianhai said, "In a few days, there will be an event in our factory, a recitation competition for many workers. Comrade Shen, are you interested? You can come and watch. The canteen in our factory will be open for free that day."
Shen Zhixia showed no interest: "Not interested."
She was genuinely uninterested. A recitation competition, which should be considered a very interesting activity in this era, was utterly boring to Shen Zhixia.
In her generation, everyone had smartphones, and she could watch a lot of videos and play games, which she had long since grown tired of. But in this era, there aren't as many entertainment options, and whenever there's even a small event, a lot of people will gather together.
It's like seeing something rare.
However, this also has its advantages, as it can promote communication between people.
When she was in the military camp, the group activities were to bring a stool to watch movies or plays. There wasn't much to see, but it was lively when everyone was together.
But back then, she was always with people she liked. Now that she's with these two, she's not happy.
Jiang Wu was originally a good friend of the original owner. They used to have a good relationship. Now that she was in trouble, it wasn't easy for her either. Since Shen Zhixia had taken over this body, she couldn't pretend not to know her.
But from that moment on, she realized that she was completely incapable of being good friends with Jiang Wu.
If Jiang Wu considered her a good friend, then he shouldn't have schemed against her.
Yes, that's scheming.
She kept telling Jiang Wu that she didn't like Yuan Lianhai, but Jiang Wu went and directly lured her out, tricked her into coming, and then brought Yuan Lianhai over. This kind of behavior is really annoying.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Jiang Wu could only say, "Well, I'm quite interested. I'll go see it with you later."
Yuan Lianhai smiled and said, "Okay."
Despite this, his face was dark, and he stared intently at Shen Zhixia as if she were his prey, but Shen Zhixia completely ignored him.
When men chat, they usually just talk about women and national affairs. Since there are two women here, Yuan Lianhai doesn't dare to talk about these things, so he subtly shows off his own abilities.
He flaunted his wealth and also boasted about how powerful his relatives were.
Shen Zhixia: "?"
There are quite a few men like that. She found that you only truly understand a person after spending a long time with them.
Shen Zhixia now finds him incredibly greasy and repulsive.
She hates this kind of flashy man.
Thinking about it this way, Huo Chenzhou is still better. Huo Chenzhou is much more humble and never flaunts any of his achievements. He is actually quite capable, but he usually keeps quiet. After receiving his salary, he gives her all of it, which makes her feel at ease.
Indeed, you should find a man like this to marry.
She hadn't thought much of it before, but now she felt fortunate that it was him. If she had met someone with serious character flaws instead of Huo Chenzhou, she couldn't imagine what she would have done.
Given her personality, she will definitely leave this man.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhixia felt that it was nothing. After all, Huo Chenzhou was a good person, which was why she was with him. It was a mutual choice between them.
Shen Zhixia finished her meal quickly. Without giving the two of them time to react, she said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
She didn't try to take advantage of the situation and paid for her own share.
After all, judging from the current situation, Yuan Lianhai might be paying for today's meal, and she didn't want to be treated to a meal by him for no reason.
Shen Zhixia was too fast; neither of them had time to stop her. Jiang Wu could only quickly chase after her, asking, "Xia, what's wrong with you?"
However, Shen Zhixia was very fast. Jiang Wu jogged up but couldn't catch up with her. Finally, she caught up and said breathlessly, "Xia, why are you walking so fast? You didn't even wait for me."
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "Waiting for you? Waiting for you for what?"
Jiang Wu was taken aback for a moment: "We're friends too."
"Friends? Is this how you treat friends? Jiang Wu, I came here today because you said you wanted to spend more time with me, so I came to have dinner with you. But you brought Yuan Lianhai along. Tell me, did you two conspire together all along?"
Shen Zhixia is not stupid; in fact, she is very smart. Yuan Lianhai is a frivolous person, and it's quite obvious what he thinks of her.
