Chapter 217
Wang Jiazhi deliberately avoided Lao You. Although they lived under the same roof, she would not even look at him.
He lived in the same room with Lao You, but there was always a curtain drawn in the room, so he couldn't see Lao You.
He is not here for the time being, but she also has to pack up his things after a while, and she will inevitably meet Lao You, which is always a bit awkward.
That day, she saw that Lao You was not at home, so she went in and wiped the half of the table and windowsill that belonged to him, and swept the half of the floor that belonged to him.
Lao You came in and saw her wiping the leaves of the orchid pot she had borrowed. He said through the curtain, "He'll stop by his hometown on his way back this time."
She had deliberately not said the following words. Every time he showed up, she would leave immediately. But this time she didn't. He knew she was serious.
He continued, "His hometown has arranged a marriage for him. He promised his parents at the beginning of the year that he would go back and get married at the end of the year. Perhaps, he happened to be passing by this time and the wedding was arranged." Then, in a nagging, didactic tone, he added, "Girls, don't belittle yourselves. Do you think being a second wife is that easy? It's easy to gain, but easy to lose."
Her hands were frozen, as if petrified, and she couldn't move.
She tried to calm herself down, put the pot of flowers in place and prepared to leave.
At this time, a very gentle voice was heard saying, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If you calm down and imagine, you might find that person is not that perfect after all."
She said loudly: "I want to do it myself, who cares?"
Then he left.
Every time she mentioned this, she wasn't sad, but for some reason, she always felt a pang of pain in her heart. He wasn't supposed to be hers in the first place.
Summer is almost over now, only a few months away. Mrs. Yi should be happily preparing her dowry at her parents' home in the south.
But they are not necessarily happy. Not knowing who they are marrying, they are definitely expectant and anxious. But maybe they have met each other in childhood.
Maybe they were good together when they were young, but their feelings faded with time. Many couples are like this. He told her he never loved her, but it was just a matter of responsibility. Don't believe even a half of what a man says.
If they were married, he wouldn't abandon me, would he? Mrs. Yi was still very powerful. When they were newly married, she could use her husband's infatuation with her to force him to break up with his girlfriend in the city. After I came here, Mrs. Ma broke up with him without hesitation.
He is not Xiao Xu, he will not drag his feet, he has made this decision.
She was so upset that she started to think too much.
She was now the editor in charge. She had temporarily removed one of Lao You's editorials and replaced it with another. Normally, when he was around, Lao You would just complain. But now, feeling bullied by a woman, he was furious. He and Wang Jiazhi had a huge argument.
Wang Jiazhi explained that Ruan Liang's article happened to correspond to a current hotly debated issue and promised to repost it next time. But he always had that same temper, that silent expression, and couldn't listen to anyone. Wang Jiazhi already hated him, so she just let him ramble on and on, and she was just working at her desk, ignoring his comments.
"Is it because of something I said a few days ago that you're taking revenge on me?"
"I said the team leader is short, is that so important to you?"
"Am I wrong? He already has a wife, and you're still throwing yourself at him like this, without even considering your own reputation."
He would usually give Lao You some perfunctory treatment, but because she really hated Lao You, she didn't want to talk to him at all. This made Lao You feel extremely insulted, and finally she angrily stood on the table and said, "Wang Jiazhi, if you dare, you'll be punished!"
Hearing the noise, the others rushed out. Ruan Liang advised, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are getting more and more outrageous." He quickly pulled him away.
"Wang Jiazhi, just wait for me!"
Xiao Xu laughed beside him and said, "What can he do? It's like killing his whole family for such a small thing."
Wang Jiazhi shuddered, that day really came.
Lao You's article still hadn't been published. After reading the newspaper, he angrily kicked and slammed the door before Wang Jiazhi, slamming the table and stamping his feet to show that he wasn't someone to be bullied. Wang Jiazhi couldn't understand why this man was so sensitive and self-deprecating.
She had been writing when he finally stopped, tired of his incessant chatter. She slowly stood up. Those around her watched as she slowly rose to her feet, her head rising above his. Finally, when she stood still, she towered over him by more than half a head. Her imposing presence was overwhelming.
He himself felt very embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiazhi deliberately said: "Hey, why are you so short? I just found out today."
The others burst into laughter.
He was so angry that he slammed the door and left.
Duan Fengming said to the new girl, "When the team leader is here, she never wears high heels."
Wang Jiazhi always thought to herself, "You're only two or three centimeters taller than him. Is that a big deal?"
