Chapter 211 So this is what it tastes like
Xu Shanshan ignored him, and Guo Yong wasn't angry. He just kept telling her, "Don't tire yourself out. I'll save some good food for you later."
Xu Shanshan still ignored him, and Guo Yong could only walk away awkwardly.
His apprentice, Chen Fa, brought over a stool. Seeing his master walking over awkwardly, he became displeased and said, "Master, why is she giving you so little face?"
Guo Yong waved his hand and said, "A beauty like her is normal to have a temper. Take it slow."
"I don't like those who are eager to get their way!"
Chen Fa stared at Xu Shanshan's back and nodded, "Master, you know what, with Sister Xu's figure, she really is no different from a twenty-year-old girl."
Guo Yong stared at Xu Shanshan's back, then grinned lewdly, "No wonder her ex-husband died young!"
In Guo Yong's view, a beautiful woman like Xu Shanshan must have lost her man; otherwise, no one would be willing to leave such a woman.
What a beautiful woman! She's pleasing to the eye, and it would be a pleasure to take her out. She's so lovely...
Guo Yong let out two lewd laughs with his apprentice and then went back to work.
Because Wen Changyu met Xu Shanshan here, he became much quieter during dinner. Zhizhi and the others chatted and laughed, but Wen Changyu sat there and didn't seem to say a word unless He Yuzhi called him.
He Yuzhi immediately scolded him, "Have you lost your soul?"
He Yuzhi was both angry and worried. She was angry that her son didn't respect himself, and worried that he would be even less self-respecting.
What if this foolish person gets carried away again and takes the person back...?
That's like pulling a millstone naked, going around in circles and making a fool of yourself!
Wen Changyu snapped out of his daze, looked up blankly, and asked, "Is the food to your liking?"
Zhizhi nodded, "Yes, Dad, you didn't eat much!"
Wen Changyu quickly said, "I've eaten, I've eaten," and then used his chopsticks to pick up a bunch of food from the table and put it in his bowl, and started eating.
Having been married to Xu Shanshan for decades, what he just witnessed... actually made him feel a little heartbroken. After all, she was the woman he had cherished for so many years, and this contrast...
But seeing Zhizhi, he suddenly came to his senses again.
Xu Shanshan disliked him and loathed him.
He even disliked his children.
He hated him so much that he wanted to kill his child...
His saintly heart was awakened.
He shouldn't overthink it.
Perhaps... perhaps Xu Shanshan is quite satisfied with her current life.
After all, there was no one he disliked in front of him.
Perhaps it was the day she had been longing for, even if it meant eating coarse food and wild vegetables.
Moreover, she moved into that man's house, perhaps... she's waiting for him to be released from prison.
Thinking about this, Wen Changyu's mind became clearer.
After finishing their meal, they left.
Wen Jinzhou glanced around but didn't see anyone, so he lowered his eyes and followed his family.
After they left, the supervisor who had scolded Xu Shanshan earlier immediately found her and asked, "Do you know who the man who just spoke up for you was?"
Xu Shanshan: How could she not know who it is?
Before she could speak, the foreman excitedly said, "It must be a military leader, riding in a military vehicle." As he spoke, he kept scanning Xu Shanshan up and down with his eyes, rubbing his chin with his fingers. "I really didn't expect you to have this kind of charm."
The foreman's lecherous gaze made Xu Shanshan uncomfortable, so she said, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to get back to work."
The foreman hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Go, go!"
Just as Xu Shanshan turned around, he raised his hand and slapped her on the butt, then rubbed his hands together, saying, "So this is what a middle-aged woman tastes like!"
Xu Shanshan turned around and glared at him angrily, but he wasn't afraid at all, his face full of smiles.
Xu Shanshan could only suppress her anger in the end.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Guo Yong stood at the kitchen door, coldly scrutinizing her. "You and Xiao Zhang have been seeing each other in private."
Xiao Zhang is the foreman, a man in his thirties.
Xu Shanshan looked at Guo Yong with a cold and puzzled expression. Guo Yong then softened his expression and said, "Stay away from him in the future, or he might take advantage of you."
Xu Shanshan immediately felt a fire burning inside her.
She knew in her heart that Guo Yong had seen the foreman pat her butt, but instead of stopping him or scolding him, he came to make trouble for her.
Really...
At that moment, she suddenly understood what Xu Junjun had said that day about the predicament she faced if she didn't get married in that turbulent era.
This wasn't the era she lived in, and she wasn't a young woman in her late teens; she was a woman just two years shy of fifty, and she...
Xu Shanshan suddenly wondered if she could continue working here.
She began to feel disgusted with Wen Changyu again. If it weren't for him, she could have quietly saved up the money here before leaving, instead of...
Xu Shanshan thought the worst thing that happened to her today was running into Wen Changyu and his group, but after finishing her work and going home, she realized it was much more than that.
She didn't finish her work until 8 p.m., then took a bus back to her home in the alley, the house that originally belonged to Wang Jinghui, which she now lives in.
She had nowhere to go, and renting a place was a burden for her. Wang Jinghui owed her, so it was perfectly fine for her to stay in his house while he was in prison.
When she got home tonight, the lights were on in her room.
The moment Xu Shanshan saw the lights on inside, she imagined a possibility: Wen Changyu had seen her working at the State Guest Hotel during the day, used some means to find out she lived here, and then came to confront her.
Wen Changyu is blocking her way now, probably because he wants to take her back to the Wen family, right? Xu Shanshan thought.
She just didn't really want to go back.
Although Wen Changyu was her best choice, she wasn't someone who gave in easily.
However, in the short distance that followed, she still tidied her hair, tugged at the hem of her clothes, and rubbed her hands together.
It wasn't until I pushed the door open that I discovered it was locked from the inside.
Xu Shanshan's face was very cold. "Bang bang," she raised her hand and slammed the door.
She felt that Wen Changyu was going too far. She wasn't living in his house, yet he dared to lock the door from the inside and shut her out.
“Open the door,” she shouted.
Soon the curtains inside the room were drawn back, and a face that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to her appeared at the window.
Then the door was opened.
Xu Shanshan's anger froze on her face, and she no longer felt like going inside.
“Mom,” the person inside the house said.
Xu Shanshan's pupils trembled.
The past six months of wandering and hardship had made her increasingly fussy, and she had completely forgotten about Wen Qianqian.
Strictly speaking, it's Wang Qianqian.
"you……"
She had barely uttered a word when Wang Qianqian, who was inside the house, reached out and pulled her, "Mom, come in, don't stand at the door talking."
After squatting for half a year, Wang Qianqian lost at least 20 pounds compared to before. Her facial features were so thin that she looked unrecognizable and pitiful.
Her expression no longer carried the arrogance of before; instead, it was filled with ingratiation and timidity.
But Xu Shanshan was a little afraid of her.
Even though Xu Shanshan used to love her very much, after learning the truth, Xu Shanshan could no longer treat her with the same care.
Can……
"When...did you come back?" Xu Shanshan asked.
