Zhao Qianjin, who had never set foot in the kitchen at home, carried the meal he had painstakingly prepared into the room, only to be met with Yang Wanqiu's ferocious and somewhat terrifying face, completely devoid of her usual dignified beauty.
This was something Zhao Qianjin, who was used to seeing Yang Wanqiu's gentle, generous, and shy image, found hard to accept, and he had an urge to turn around and run away.
And this coward actually did it. However, with one hand holding rice and the other holding vegetables, he instinctively wanted to protect the food in his hands, so he turned around and bumped his head directly into the door frame with a dull thud.
Yang Wanqiu, whose mind was entirely focused on He Chaoyang and Chen Shuning, didn't hear Zhao Qianjin enter the room until the sound of Zhao Qianjin hitting the door frame startled her, pulling her back from her dark thoughts.
Just as Yang Wanqiu was about to lose her temper, she turned around and met Zhao Qianjin, who had been knocked down and stumbled back. Her fierce and ferocious expression changed when she saw the food in Zhao Qianjin's hand.
She almost instantly put on a smiling face and spoke, after all, this person was still somewhat useful to her, and she didn't want to offend him.
"Brother Zhao, you're here. I haven't properly thanked you for what happened today, and now you've troubled me to bring me food. I really don't know what to say."
Looking at Yang Wanqiu's smiling face, Zhao Qianjin felt as if what he had just seen was a dream. Shaking his head to shake off the terrible image of Yang Wanqiu from his mind, Zhao Qianjin still showed his honest smile and said, "No need to thank me. We are all revolutionary comrades who went to the countryside together. It is only right to help each other."
"By the way, Wanqiu, you didn't look too well just now. Is your wound hurting a lot?"
Seeing Yang Wanqiu's gentle smile again, Zhao Qianjin felt that what he had just seen was an illusion, and that Wanqiu's pale complexion must have been because her wound was in too much pain.
That's why she had that terrible, no, painful expression. That must be it. Wanqiu really suffered a lot this time.
After believing he had found a reasonable excuse, Zhao Qianjin reverted to his usual sycophantic behavior in front of Yang Wanqiu.
Speaking of her leg injury, Yang Wanqiu, who had just been blinded by jealousy and hatred, had actually forgotten about the excruciating wound on her leg. But when Zhao Qianjin mentioned it, she suddenly felt the pain again.
She was a little annoyed that this person had brought up the sore spot, but she turned her head to the window with a wronged expression. Through the wide-open window, she looked at Chen Shuning, who had already cooked the sugar and tea, added milk powder and water, and was now in the yard talking to He Chaoyang.
She murmured, seemingly to herself, "Yes, we were revolutionary comrades who went to the countryside together, and we were good friends who grew up together. I really can't understand why she would hate me to this extent just because of a man."
When Yang Wanqiu turned back again, she had a sad and regretful expression, as if Chen Shuning had done something to wrong her.
It must be said that Yang Wanqiu's words were quite skillful. She neither mentioned Chen Shuning by name nor did she mention that she had actually spoken ill of Chen Shuning behind his back because she liked Dong Weiguo.
Ultimately, this led to the end of their friendship of more than ten years. The story is vaguely described as Chen Shuning breaking up with her because of a man.
Of course, Yang Wanqiu wasn't exactly lying. The two of them did break up because of a man, but she didn't say who wronged whom. She was quite adept at playing the game of speaking with a mix of truth and falsehood.
Although Yang Wanqiu was talking to herself and seemed to be deliberately lowering her voice, Zhao Qianjin, who was standing right next to her, could not possibly not hear her, and he certainly knew who she was talking about.
It's worth noting that Yang Wanqiu often mentions in front of others that she and Chen Shuning were childhood friends.
And with her tearful, innocent look, Zhao Qianjin lost all sense of judgment and was convinced that Chen Shuning had wronged Yang Wanqiu.
Moreover, her ambiguous words successfully led Zhao Qianjin astray. Following Yang Wanqiu's gaze, he saw Chen Shuning and He Chaoyang chatting and laughing while working.
Zhao Qianjin's eyes were full of disgust as he said contemptuously, "What's so strange about that? Even sisters born of the same parents can have very different personalities, let alone you two who are just friends who grew up together."
Late Autumn, actually, I think you should stay away from Chen Shuning in the future. Look at her, she's obviously good at seducing men. Let's not even talk about her relationship with that Brother Dong you mentioned in Beijing.
She's only been here a few days and men are already coming to help her with chores. Also, the fact that she built her own house and lives alone as soon as she arrived makes me think it might be to make it easier to bring men into the house.
It's a pity about that soldier; he was tricked without even realizing it and foolishly helped her with the work.
Yang Wanqiu found Zhao Qianjin particularly pleasing to the eye today, and his words soothed her previously agitated mood considerably.
That's exactly right. In her past life, it was Gao Hongyuan who cherished her like a precious treasure and pampered her for a lifetime. In this life, looking at Brother He like this, he seems completely infatuated with her.
But what does it matter? She's just a silly little girl. How could she possibly outmaneuver someone who has lived two lives?
Just wait and see, Brother He will definitely be hers in the end. As for Gao Hongyuan, considering that the fool has been quite good to him, let's just say he's getting a good deal from Gu Xinyi.
