Zhou Yuan watched Chi Ze's every move. When she found out someone was hitting on him, she felt unhappy. She changed the subject and said with a smile, "Xie Shizhu's family is not well off. Don't laugh at her. She can't help but work in a place like that."
Everyone was speaking for Xie Shizhu, but everyone knew what she meant.
Wu Xuan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Let's not talk about this anymore, but why hasn't she come yet?"
"Xie Shizhu is so generous that she made us all wait for her."
"Maybe we missed the bus. Let's wait."
The already calm atmosphere was once again filled with laughter.
The veins on the back of Chi Ze's hands bulged, he frowned, his eyes full of annoyance.
How come he hadn't realized before that these so-called classmates were so cold-hearted?
When Chi Ze recalled the past, his heart suddenly tightened. He seemed to be no different from them before.
When he saw others talking about Xie Shizhu behind his back, he ignored them and even felt disgusted when he heard Xie Shizhu's name.
Chi Ze felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe.
The door opened from the outside. Xie Shizhu looked at the waiter who opened the door for him with gratitude and said, "Thank you."
The waitress was flattered. She was used to serving others and rarely received thanks from others. She smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Hearing the sound of footsteps and conversation, everyone instantly glanced behind them.
Xie Shizhu no longer looked rustic. She was wearing a plaid vest and a short skirt. She was thin, but her legs, which were exposed, were exceptionally long and straight. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her lips were slightly raised as she said to the group, "Sorry, I'm late."
After she finished speaking, she walked straight to Zhou Yuan and sat down in an empty seat. She said with a slight complaint, "Why didn't you tell me it was a class reunion? If I had known, I would have come half an hour earlier."
Zhou Yuan's face froze. When she saw Xie Shizhu take off his thick glasses and look brand new, she seemed to be unable to pretend anymore and forced a smile: "Well, it's just a meal anyway."
Xie Shizhu said sympathetically, "That's right."
Everyone looked at each other.
Xie Shizhu is not very pretty, but she looks comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
Chi Ze stared at Xie Shizhu with burning eyes, his eyes were complicated, with guilt and a little strangeness.
Perhaps he himself did not notice this abnormality.
Xie Shizhu noticed Chi Ze's gaze and sneered in his heart.
The woman next to Chi Ze noticed that Chi Ze's eyes were always looking at Xie Shizhu. She felt uncomfortable and sneered, "As expected, he has made some money and now he wears different clothes than before."
Xie Shizhu took the chopsticks and took a bite, sighing that it was no wonder it was so expensive, the taste was indeed extraordinary. These people were rich and were treating her, so she didn't hesitate!
After hearing what the other party said, Xie Shizhu didn't even stop using his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Ah? How is it different? I bought this dress casually. If you like it, I will take you there next time. It's only 100 yuan for the whole place, which is a good deal."
woman:"……"
Chi Ze looked at the woman beside him again, his eyes cold.
The woman felt very uncomfortable and immediately shut her mouth. She used the excuse of going to the restroom as an excuse to flee from here.
Chi Ze's eyes frightened her, and she knew that staying any longer would be disadvantageous to her.
Everyone else had their own agenda, but Xie Shizhu was the only one eating comfortably. After more than ten minutes, Xie Shizhu leaned back contentedly, then pretended to notice Chi Ze and smiled at him.
The smile on her lips was too eye-catching. Chi Ze's heavy mood gradually dissipated in Xie Shizhu's smile, and he was infected by it and his smile curled up slightly.
Zhou Yuan clenched her palms tightly, gritted her teeth, and felt annoyed.
She pinched Xie Shizhu's thigh hard and said in a cold voice, "I'm going to the bathroom, come with me."
Xie Shizhu gasped in pain and frowned.
Her strange behavior made Chi Ze discover something. He said in a calm voice, "Let Wu Xuan accompany you."
Zhou Yuan's expression froze, she suddenly stood up from the chair, and ran out with red eyes. Wu Xuan was stunned and hurried to catch up.
In the past, as Zhou Yuan's follower, Xie Shizhu would have to follow.
Xie Shizhu was full and didn't bother to deal with Zhou Yuan anymore.
However, it’s a pity that we can’t see Zhou Yuan’s frustrated expression.
By the time Wu Xuan was comforting her younger sister, the scene was almost over.
Chi Ze had already stood up. When he passed by Xie Shizhu, he stopped and was silent for a while. Then he opened his thin lips and said, "I'll take you there."
As soon as the words fell, some people who had not yet left opened their eyes wide in shock.
Xie Shizhu was slightly startled. "No, no, I can just take a taxi myself."
Chi Ze raised his arm, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "It's six o'clock in the afternoon, the rush hour after get off work. I guess you have to wait two or three hours before you can get on the bus."
He said this deliberately because he knew Xie Shizhu's working hours. While he was waiting for Xie Shizhu's answer, he quietly watched the anxiety on the woman's face.
Sure enough, Xie Shizhu nodded in compromise: "Thank you for your help then."
A smile flashed in Chi Ze's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
The two of them went out together, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion.
When Zhou Yuan returned to the private room, Chi Ze was no longer there. The people who stayed told her, "Chi Ze left with Xie Shizhu."
"What?"
When Zhou Yuan heard this, her face turned pale instantly. Leaving Wu Xuan behind, she immediately ran out to chase him. When she stood at the door, she saw that Xie Shizhu had already gotten into Chi Ze's car.
Zhou Yuan gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence word by word: "Xie Shizhu!"
Wu Xuan followed out and fanned the flames, saying, "Doesn't Xie Shizhu like Chi Ze? Why do I feel like Chi Ze helped her several times just now..."
