Chapter 120: Jealousy



"What a coincidence, Brother Hui, we meet again."

Previously, it was Xing Maohui who greeted her, and this time Zhou Yunwan took the initiative to wave at him.

Shen Yanli raised his eyebrows calmly, again? Did they just meet?

He remembered that the shortest route from Xing Maohui's office to the cafeteria was not this road, but now he appeared here, and Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

When Xing Maohui approached, he saw the complicated look in Shen Yanli's eyes, the obvious hostility and obscurity in it made him touch his nose guiltily.

Others might not notice it, but Shen Yanli could definitely tell that he had deliberately taken a detour to come here.

As for why he took a detour, Xing Maohui turned his gaze to Zhou Yunwan next to him.

Zhou Yunwan was so focused on solving Shen Yanli's meal problem that she didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the two of them at all. When she saw Xing Maohui looking at her, she euphemistically expressed her current predicament.

...

...

When Xing Maohui learned about the situation, he immediately said generously: "Xiao Wan, this is your first time in the army, and you haven't been to a banquet for a long time. As your brother, it is my duty to treat you to a meal."

His words were vague and it was obvious that he did it on purpose.

When he heard the word "brother", Shen Yanli's originally good mood suddenly fell to the bottom. After a while, he pulled the corner of his lips lightly, and his voice became cold: "What kind of brother are you to me?"

He asked in a low, drawling voice, with a hint of gritted teeth in his words.

Zhou Yunwan heard the strong smell of gunpowder in Chen Yanli's tone and couldn't help but glare at him. Others kindly invited him to dinner, but he was still sarcastic? Besides, Xing Maohui is older than him, so there is nothing wrong with calling him his elder brother.

Shen Yanli was glared at, pursed his thin lips, and lowered his head reluctantly.

Seeing that Shen Yanli had finally calmed down, she glanced at Xing Maohui's eyes. As expected, the other party was also a little embarrassed. She quickly raised her voice to change the subject: "Ahem, then thank you Brother Hui."

After that, several people walked towards the cafeteria together.

During this time, Zhou Yunwan ignored the jealous Shen Yanli, deliberately ignored him, and only talked to Xing Maohui and Sun Manting.

And Shen Yanli also knew why she was angry, and pursed his thin lips. Because there were outsiders around, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to admit his mistake or defend himself, so he could only swallow his words.

It was not until they arrived at the cafeteria, taking advantage of the crowd, that Zhou Yunwan secretly pinched his waist and glared at him again.

The slight pain in his waist made Shen Yanli's eyes move slightly. He turned his head slightly and looked at Zhou Yunwan's angry pouting mouth, the curve of which could hang a soy sauce bottle.

And those red eyes were filled with resentment, as if scolding him: Why are you jealous again? You jealous bastard!

Just one glance and his heart softened.

He opened his mouth to explain that he was not blindly jealous without knowing right from wrong, but Xing Maohui really had intentions towards her, and as her boyfriend, of course he would feel a sense of crisis.

But in the blink of an eye, the person in front of him was taken away by her friend, followed by Xing Maohui with a smile on his face. The other party seemed to have noticed that Wanwan was quarreling with him, and raised his eyebrows smugly when passing by him.

Chen Yanli's eyes darkened. He knew that what Xing Maohui, this slick and cunning man, had said to him before was not credible. It had only been a short time, but he had already revealed his true colors.

Looking at the two people chatting and laughing in front of him, his jawline tensed for a moment, and a few sharp coldness flashed in his eyes. If eyes could kill, Xing Maohui would have died countless times.

He tightened his hands holding the rice tray, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, as if he was trying hard to endure something.

He stayed where he was for two seconds, waiting for the chaotic breath to calm down a little before he followed.

There were people coming and going in the cafeteria, most of them were wearing military uniforms. There were very few people at Zhou Yunwan's table wearing casual clothes. In addition, there were two well-known "ruthless men" in the army, Xing Maohui and "beauty" Sun Manting, so their table undoubtedly became the focus of the crowd.

Not far away, Zhao Wanwan was angrily picking at the untouched rice in her bowl, while staring at Zhou Yunwan with unpleasant eyes.

They haven't met each other since Zhou Yunwan revealed on the eve of the party that the clothes were imitated from her design. Later, when she tried to inquire about her intentionally or unintentionally, she found out that she had gone to study.

She originally thought that they would never have any intersection again, but who knew that after two or three months, she would appear in front of her again!

Could it be that she was accepted into the art troupe? But it’s not time for admission yet? And even if he is accepted, it is not necessary for Deputy Head He to receive him personally, right?

She had never seen anyone in the group receive such high treatment!

So after Zhou Yunwan left with Deputy Captain He, she immediately asked Liang Shuqin to find out. It was not until before lunch that she learned the exact news.

The good news is that Zhou Yunwan was not accepted by the art troupe. The bad news is that Zhou Yunwan joined the rehearsal of the drama as a specially hired actor and will be in and out of the art troupe for a long time in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wanwan bit her lips hard. How could this be possible? Why? Could it be that Zhou Yunwan used her connections to get in through the back door?

It must be like this.

Otherwise, why would the second brother of the Shen family and Director Zhao appear here?

Even Deputy Captain He, who claims to be fair and just, still has to bow his head in front of Chief Shen, right?

Now is not the time to recruit people for the art troupe, and suddenly inserting someone in will definitely be criticized. However, it seems reasonable to use the name of special recruitment and then take the opportunity to insert Zhou Yunwan into the art troupe.

The more Zhao Wanwan thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct. She was really smart. She had guessed it all.

Thinking of how Zhou Yunwan had embarrassed her in public before, she felt ashamed and angry. It was clearly she who agreed to use the same style and pattern with her, but later she said that she had plagiarized. She had never seen such a shameless person!

Suddenly, a female voice interrupted her thoughts: "Zhao Wanwan, why don't you eat? Don't you know that wasting food is shameful?"

Zhao Wanwan looked over in the direction of the sound, and saw Xiao Qiang, who lived in the dormitory next to her, on the other side of the dining table. She was staring at the almost untouched food in her bowl, looking extremely angry.

Just as Zhao Wanwan was about to ask what it was her business, an idea flashed through her mind.

Xiao Qiang is an upright person with a stubborn mind. She loves to meddle in other people's affairs and can't stand people who get something for nothing. If she knew that someone got into the art troupe through the back door through connections, she would definitely go to Deputy Director He in indignation to argue with him, and then there would be something interesting to watch.

But she certainly couldn't be the first to tell on others...

So she turned her attention to Liang Shuqin opposite her. She was a big mouth and the news would spread from one person to ten people and from ten to a hundred people. No matter how they investigated, they would not be able to trace it back to her.

And the bigger the rumor gets, the less able Deputy Captain He will be to protect Zhou Yunwan. So what if she uses a backdoor? Then you will have to leave in disgrace.
