Chapter 18
After all four dishes were served, the two people who were chatting started to eat.
This time Xia Zhongqin paid the bill.
After dinner, Ji Yue said that she and Zhang Xiaoshan were going to visit the Jinji Lake Scenic Area and would be back later.
Xia Zhongqin gave Ji Yue the key that he had made at noon today, and the two parted ways at the entrance of Wuyue Plaza.
After returning to the rental house and washing up, it was still early. When Xia Zhongqin finished reading the fourth part of Mo Yan's "Frog" on the desk, it was already 10:30 in the evening, and Ji Yue had not returned yet.
Xia Zhongqin edited a WeChat message and asked Ji Yue when she would come back.
But when it was about to be sent, Xia Zhongqin awkwardly took her hand away from the send button.
In the adult world, some things don't need to be made too clear.
Xia Zhongqin lay on the bed and read Tencent News on his mobile phone for a while. When it was eleven o'clock, Ji Yue still hadn't come back.
Xia Zhongqin set the alarm on her cell phone to 6:50 in the morning and put it back on the bedside table. She reached out and turned off the light in the room.
She didn't lock the bedroom door. Ji Yue had the key, so she could just open it and come in when she came back at night.
Xia Zhongqin didn't sleep very soundly this time. Although he fell asleep, he was still dreaming.
All the dreams were related to Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan.
Xia Zhongqin dreamed that Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan’s relationship was discovered by Zhang Xiaoshan’s wife. His wife made a scene in the company and scratched Ji Yue’s face.
Xia Zhongqin woke up with a start. She reached out for her cell phone from the bedside table and checked the time. It was already half past six in the morning.
Xia Zhongqin looked at the space next to the pillow again and found it was empty, which meant that Ji Yue did not come back last night.
Xia Zhongqin didn't think much about it. When she woke up, she was no longer sleepy. She only lay in bed for a few minutes before getting up.
After washing up, Xia Zhongqin applied skin care products on her face and went out with her computer bag on her back.
Since graduating from university and starting working, Xia Zhongqin would at most wear a light-colored lipstick when going out. She would only wear lipstick when she was not in a good mental state, just to make her look better.
Originally, Xia Zhongqin's facial features were small and delicate. She didn't look stunning at first glance, but she was the type that was very attractive the longer she looked at her.
Xia Zhongqin herself has never cared about her appearance. Since she started college, the only people who have praised her for her good looks are same-sex colleagues she got along well with in the previous company, as well as Ji Yue and Sun Yaya in this company, and all the others are of the opposite sex.
For breakfast, Xia Zhongqin bought a hand-pulled pancake and a bag of soy milk at the breakfast stall at the subway entrance.
Xia Zhongqin left home early today and entered the subway station after breakfast.
After registering at the registration desk on the first floor of Suzhou Metro Building, Xia Zhongqin took the elevator with ease.
When he reached the twelfth floor and just got out of the elevator, Xia Zhongqin heard the sounds of a shrew cursing and a child crying.
For some reason, Xia Zhongqin's heart skipped a beat. She thought of the dream she had last night. How could it be such a coincidence that the dream became reality?
As we got closer to the project office, the sound of cursing became clearer.
When Xia Zhongqin walked to the door of the project office, she saw a young woman dressed in fashionable clothes holding a child in her arms and making a noise.
The child in the woman's arms looked to be only a little over one year old, and was crying heart-wrenchingly.
The woman cursed them as "bastards, thieves and whores, a shameless pair" in the most nasty way possible.
Xia Zhongqin understood that the dream she had last night had come true. The woman in front of her was Zhang Xiaoshan’s wife, and she came to her house with her child.
Could it be that Zhang Xiaoshan did not return home last night, which made his wife suspicious and that’s why she came to the project team to make trouble?
The key point is why Zhang Xiaoshan’s wife didn’t go to the company, but just ran to the Sucheng Metro Project Team to make trouble, and weren’t Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan working on the Wujiang Rural Commercial Bank project recently?
In the situation where the original wife invited the mistress to come to the house, although Xia Zhongqin was not the mistress, as Ji Yue's good friend, Xia Zhongqin's body trembled uncontrollably.
This scene was the first time Xia Zhongqin had personally encountered it in her 25 years of life. Xia Zhongqin wanted to rush into the project team office, but the woman holding the child was blocking the office door and she couldn't get in.
Just when Xia Zhongqin was in a dilemma, Lian Yijian and Xia Kaiqun, who had just come to work in the morning and were carrying computer bags, arrived at the door of the project team office together.
Xia Zhongqin greeted Lian Yijian and Xia Kaiqun respectively. Just after she finished greeting, she saw Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan walking towards the project team office from afar.
Haven't these two people always been supporting Liu Jijun's Wujiang Rural Commercial Bank project? What's wrong with them today that they come together to work on the Sucheng Metro project?
Xia Zhongqin really wanted to go over and remind them, but just as she took a step forward with her left leg, Zhang Xiaoshan's wife had turned around and arrived in front of Zhang Xiaoshan and Ji Yue before her.
The next second, a big slap hit Ji Yue's face. Although Zhang Xiaoshan's wife was holding the child, her attack was fast, fierce and accurate.
When the woman wanted to slap Ji Yue in the face for the second time, Zhang Xiaoshan, who had reacted, stopped her, and the slap landed hard on Zhang Xiaoshan's face.
