Chapter 482 You are not her
With so many people coming to see Huo Chenzhou, he could only greet them one by one. Many of their wives also came over to praise Shen Zhixia.
It's simply saying that Shen Zhixia is very beautiful and intelligent...
Shen Zhixia maintained a slight smile throughout.
That's really interesting.
She's so old, yet so many people still say she's beautiful.
Indeed, once you stand on high ground, everyone around you is a good person, and you can no longer hear the truth.
After these people left, Shen Zhixia whispered, "Today was really nice. I was able to hear so many people praising my looks. I'm so old, and I can still hear such lies."
Huo Chenzhou's expression was very serious: "Who said this is a lie? This is the truth. My wife is the most beautiful."
These people just love to praise Shen Zhixia, but to Huo Chenzhou, it's the truth.
His wife is undeniably the most beautiful woman.
Shen Zhixia glared at him and said, "You're so glib."
Huo Chenzhou's face was full of smiles.
The engagement banquet was very large.
And they are all themed around Mario.
It is said that Wang Xiaojian and his partner both love the game Mario, so their engagement party was themed around it.
The engagement banquet was all personally designed by Wang Xiaojian, demonstrating his sincerity.
As soon as you enter, you'll see all sorts of mushrooms and little monsters...it's so cute.
Even Xiao Bao thought it was pretty good: "Brother Xiao Jian, he really took it seriously this time. He's so good to his wife. I want to learn from him, and I want to treat his wife well in the future too..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "He's so good to my wife."
Da Bao's eyes lit up: "Then why don't you have an engagement party themed around Tetris? I really like that."
Both she and Huo Chenzhou liked Tetris. Huo Chenzhou thought it could exercise the brain and make people smarter, while Da Bao simply liked it.
Xiao Bao said, "Let's talk about it later. I only like Mario."
When the dishes were served, Da Bao's eyes lit up. She chuckled and said, "I saw the braised pork. Put it here for me."
Shen Zhixia was speechless, but she still doted on her daughter. Helplessly, she went to take the braised pork. Just as she picked up the braised pork, she made eye contact with the waiter.
She never imagined she would see Shen Jinxiu again, especially not under these circumstances.
Shen Jinxiu, dressed as a waitress, glanced at Shen Zhixia and then left.
Seeing that Shen Zhixia was staring at the other person, Huo Chenzhou glanced at her as well and asked, "Is this Shen Jinxiu?"
Shen Zhixia nodded and said, "It's her."
After saying this, she looked at Huo Chenzhou warily, her eyes full of suspicion: "Didn't you say you didn't remember what she looked like? How do you know who she is now?"
Huo Chenzhou had previously stated that he had no impression of Shen Jinxiu, and she had taken it all seriously. So how did Huo Chenzhou recognize her at a glance?
Huo Chenzhou said, "I guessed it because I saw you and her staring at each other for a long time."
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "Huo Chenzhou, do you think I would believe you? Tell me the truth, are you still hung up on her or something? Otherwise, how could you remember her face so clearly after all these years?"
Huo Chenzhou quickly protested his innocence: "Absolutely not! I was just guessing randomly. If you hadn't been watching her the whole time, I wouldn't have thought of this. After all, I know everyone around you."
Shen Zhixia was just saying that casually. She glanced at Huo Chenzhou and snorted, "Then I'll let it go this time and not hold it against you for now."
Huo Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay."
Shen Zhixia would occasionally act up, and Huo Chenzhou would get very nervous each time. But as long as Shen Zhixia didn't take it to heart, Huo Chenzhou would breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that this was the best time. As long as she wasn't angry, he would do anything she asked.
Xiao Bao watched a scene for a while, then lowered his head to eat. He didn't know much about Shen Jinxiu, since Shen Zhixia never mentioned her, and he didn't know her at all.
Shen Zhixia's family affairs were only mentioned a few times by others. Anyway, Shen Zhixia's relationship with her family was not very good. Her mother died very early, and she only had a stepmother. She didn't have much contact with her stepmother and stepfather.
Anyway, Xiao Bao has always grown up in a loving family, and he doesn't need the love of his maternal grandparents.
As for Da Bao, she was already engrossed in the food, eating to her heart's content.
Zhang Weihong leaned closer and said, "That's Shen Jinxiu. Let me tell you, she's not doing very well."
Zhang Weihong always knew something about things happening in the neighborhood, and she knew all about Shen Jinxiu's gossip.
From Zhang Weihong, Shen Zhixia learned that Shen Jinxiu had been working as a waitress in this hotel for a long time. After being kept by a wealthy businessman, she was discovered and divorced. However, the businessman's wife wouldn't let her go, so she had to leave in disgrace. The businessman originally wanted to give her some money, but his wife kept watching her.
So in the end, Shen Jinxiu got nothing. At first, she was able to sell some things, which were bought for her by wealthy merchants, but she didn't have a job and couldn't just sit around and do nothing. So she had to find a job.
She does all kinds of jobs.
I've swept floors, emptied swill, and most of my work has been as a waiter.
She works as a waitress in this hotel now, and has been doing so for many years. She has raised her child on her own.
Zhang Weihong sighed, "The things she did made her not well-known, and no one around her wanted to marry her, so she remained single. But over the years, she managed to raise her child, and her reputation has improved."
"She's not a good person, but she's a good mother. She hasn't done anything to wrong her son. However, her son isn't a good person. He dropped out of school a long time ago and doesn't have a proper job. He still needs her to support him. Now, every time he comes back, he asks her for money."
Shen Zhixia nodded: "I see."
She had no comment on this.
Just then, Wang Xiaojian and his girlfriend came to offer a toast.
Wang Xiaojian looked very handsome in a black suit today. He is already very tall, and this suit really suited him well.
Standing next to him was his girlfriend, a young girl dressed in pink, who looked very cheerful.
Shen Zhixia was surprised when she saw the person. She had thought that Wang Xiaojian's partner would be someone who looked virtuous, thin, and had a melancholy look in her eyes. She didn't expect that she would be such a lively and cute girl.
She was a little chubby, not really fat, just round, with fair skin, a round face, and pouty lips. She was a sweet girl, and when she smiled, she had two little dimples on her face.
Girls like this seem to have good fortune and are very likable.
They went from table to table offering toasts.
When Da Bao saw them coming, he quickly got up to offer a toast, then sat down and continued eating the braised pork.
The braised pork at this hotel was indeed delicious, not greasy at all. Even Shen Zhixia, who doesn't like braised pork, ate quite a bit.
What a joyous occasion! It's wonderful to be here and share in the festive spirit.
Shen Zhixia drank too much water and stood up to go to the toilet. Everyone was chatting and noticed her. After she finished using the toilet and came out to wash her hands, someone was standing in front of her.
She looked over.
It is Shen Jinxiu.
Shen Jinxiu looked much older. Standing in front of Shen Zhixia, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was Shen Zhixia.
Over the years, she has experienced too much, and her face is etched with the marks of time, covered in wrinkles.
Shen Zhixia turned and left.
She didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Many years ago, she said that she would never have any contact with Shen Jinxiu again. However, Shen Jinxiu suddenly said, "You are not Shen Zhixia."
Shen Zhixia froze.
