Su Xueli followed her gaze and saw a short man accompanying a portly man into a restaurant not far away. The man's manner was extremely obsequious, like a dog trying to please its master.
That short man was Yan Yan's husband, and in this life, she would marry him in a few months.
And that fat man was the newly appointed secretary of the town government.
He was the cause of Yan Yan's domestic violence in her previous life.
The reason was that the secretary coveted Yan Yan's beauty. Her husband was planning to transfer from the grain depot to the town government, and he wanted to offer Yan Yan to the secretary. She refused, so her husband beat and forced her, but she would rather die than comply.
As a result, her husband failed to get the job as an accountant in the town government, and he hated Yan Yan ever since. He would beat her at the slightest provocation, saying that she had ruined his future...
When Yan Yan confirmed that this was her boyfriend, she smiled sweetly, which made Su Xueli shudder!
"Sherry, who is that person? He looks like an official. My boyfriend is on a government-subsidized job and he associates with all sorts of important people!" Yan Yan spoke of her boyfriend with great admiration.
Su Xueli glanced at Yan Yan with pity, then turned her head away helplessly. "Innocent and kind girl, you have no idea how treacherous people can be!"
"Hey, Xue Li, what do you think, should we go over there or not?" Yan Yan asked excitedly, shaking Su Xue Li.
Su Xueli asked her, "What were you doing there?"
Yan Yan smiled shyly, "We bumped into each other in the county town, how could we not say a word? Maybe he's here to buy our wedding supplies."
Su Xueli wanted to tell her, "Go by yourself if you want to," but then a thought suddenly struck her: What if the secretary met Yan Yan beforehand?
If that man had asked Yan Yan to "contribute" to his career before marriage, would Yan Yan have cut her losses and avoided jumping into that marriage fire pit?
Su Xueli pulled Yan Yan's hand and said, "Since we've run into each other, let's meet up. Perfect timing, I'm going to treat you to dinner too, let's go to that restaurant."
Yan Yan became nervous again when she reached the restaurant entrance. She straightened her clothes and smoothed her hair, asking Su Xueli what to say when she saw her boyfriend and whether she should greet the person next to him.
Su Xueli smiled faintly, "You don't need to be nervous. You don't need to speak when you go in; I'll speak for you."
Yan Yan felt emboldened and said with a blush, "Luckily, you were here."
The two entered the restaurant hand in hand and immediately spotted her boyfriend and the secretary sitting at a corner table. Her boyfriend was bending over to pour tea for the secretary, with a fawning smile on his face.
She was already ugly, and that appearance made her even more disgusting.
"What would you two young ladies like to eat?" the waiter greeted them.
Upon hearing the waitress's words, the two people in the corner simultaneously looked over at them. The man immediately recognized his fiancée, and the fawning smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an arrogant demeanor. He stood up and coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
He always felt superior to Yan Yan.
Yan Yan was both nervous and shy, her face turning as red as an apple. She whispered, "I came to the county town with Xue Li on business."
Su Xueli glanced at him disdainfully, "Cui Huabiao, is it only you who can come to this restaurant, but we can't?"
He was less than 1.65 meters tall, dark-skinned and thin, and wore glasses that were actually for nearsightedness, though he wasn't. He just wore them to appear cultured.
Cui Huabiao frowned. She actually called me by my full name like that; it was so disrespectful.
He muttered, "That's not very polite of you. I'm the accountant at the grain depot, after all..."
"Then should I call you Accountant Cui? But I'm not a worker at the grain depot, why should I use a work-related title for you?" Su Xueli's eyes were icy.
