Chapter 434 Be on your guard

The next day, the factory manager said happily, "We've decided to cooperate with the fruit factory this time. We've signed such a big order, and they've given us a great discount. To celebrate, let's all go out for dinner today."

Everyone was quite happy to hear this.

They've been busy these past few days and it's been quite tiring, so they're naturally very excited to hear they have a chance to relax a bit.

I thought I was going to a state-run restaurant, but when I got there, I found out it was someone else's house.

this……

Someone asked, "Factory manager, aren't we going to the state-run restaurant to celebrate?"

Although the restaurant is a bit expensive, we always went to restaurants to celebrate in the past. Their factory manager was very generous. But where are we going now?

The factory director said, "This is Comrade Yuan Lianhai's home. He took the initiative to invite us to eat at his home. He said he would prepare a big meal. We are really grateful to Comrade Yuan Lianhai this time. If he hadn't taken the initiative, we wouldn't have had so much good food."

Upon hearing this, everyone said, "Comrade Yuan Lianhai is really good. He treated us to dinner, and he paid for it all out of his own pocket. He's truly a good person."

“When I visited the factory before, I felt that he was a very good person, serious and responsible in his work, and had a gentle personality.”

"Yes, since I have this opportunity, I must have a good meal."

Shen Zhixia walked at the very back. She heard what these people were saying, but only frowned and didn't say anything more.

Is Yuan Lianhai a good person?

What kind of good person is he?

She had clearly and firmly rejected him, but he still harassed a married woman. Even if she reported him, his behavior would be extremely inappropriate.

However, some people put on a very good front and act respectable, so no one suspects them, and many people have a good impression of them.

Yuan Lianhai put on quite a show this time, preparing two large tables of dishes, both very lavish.

The dishes included both vegetables and meat, and had a home-style flavor; they were indeed all very delicious.

Everyone ate to their heart's content.

Just as they were finishing their meal, Jiang Wu suddenly appeared.

When Shen Zhixia saw Jiang Wu, she was also stunned for a moment. Then, she turned her head away. Fortunately, Jiang Wu did not speak to Shen Zhixia this time. She came to find Yuan Lianhai.

She said to Yuan Lianhai, "Comrade Yuan, this is the book I borrowed from you last time. I'm here to return it."

Yuan Lianhai said, "You've come at the right time. The food is still hot. Would you like to try some?"

Jiang Wu said with a smile, "Since you've invited me like this, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, she didn't care that the food was all leftovers, so she started eating. During this time, she stood up to ladle out soup, but whether intentionally or not, she twisted her ankle and spilled the soup on the person next to her.

The soup was plentiful and very oily, and it tore all the guests' clothes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

She casually picked up a towel from the side and started wiping herself. When she looked up and saw Shen Zhixia's face, she exclaimed in surprise, "Xia, it's you!"

Shen Zhixia: "..."

For some reason, she always felt that Jiang Wu was a little strange.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.

Anyway, there were a lot of people in the room. If Jiang Wu didn't see her when she came in, it would seem normal, but she also felt that something was wrong.

Jiang Wu was so familiar with the original owner of this body, how could she not have noticed her when she came in?

Perhaps it was intuition, but she felt that Jiang Wu's sudden appearance here to return the book was like an excuse, as if she had come specifically for her.

Yuan Lianhai said, "We're having a gathering today, it's from the factory, so we invited Comrade Shen."

Jiang Wu said, "So that's how it is."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Zhixia cautiously, as if afraid that Shen Zhixia would be angry.

Shen Zhixia looked at the soup stains on her clothes. The soup had seeped into her clothes and was still hot. She felt a little annoyed. After all, it was just a meal, but her clothes were the only ones who suffered.

Yuan Lianhai said, "My sister's height is not much different from Comrade Shen's, so let's just let her change into my sister's clothes."

Jiang Wu then said, "I'll take you there."

Shen Zhixia frowned and avoided Jiang Wu's hand.

Jiang Wu didn't care; she just walked beside Shen Zhixia, as long as Shen Zhixia was willing to be with her.

No one spoke the entire way.

Yuan Lianhai lived in a courtyard. They ate in the front yard, which was very lively, but Jiang Wu took her to the back yard, which became a bit quieter.

Jiang Wu led her to a room, then closed the door and locked it.

Shen Zhixia asked curiously, "Why did you lock the door?"

Jiang Wu said, "Of course it's to prevent other people from coming in. You should change quickly."

She took a piece of clothing directly from the closet.

At this moment, Shen Zhixia discovered that the closet was full of men's clothing, with only one women's garment.

This dress seems to have been made just for her.

Inside the room, there was a kerosene lamp, which emitted a sweet, cloying smell. She couldn't quite describe the smell, but after smelling it for a while, she felt a bit uncomfortable in her head.

Shen Zhixia seemed a little wary.

Jiang Wu urged, "Hurry up and change. Your clothes are all dirty. Give them to me later and I'll wash them for you."

Shen Zhixia asked tentatively, "This is Yuan Lianhai's sister's room, so why don't I see her sister?"

Not only did she not see Yuan Lianhai's sister, but she also didn't see any of Yuan Lianhai's other relatives when Yuan Lianhai treated them to dinner today, which was quite strange.

This is Yuan Lianhai's home. Shouldn't all his relatives be here? But in reality, from beginning to end, we only saw Yuan Lianhai.

Jiang Wu said, "I don't know about that. Her sister is very busy with work and is probably still away."

Shen Zhixia's eyes turned cold, sensing that something was even more wrong.

She said to Jiang Wu, "You went out too. How am I supposed to change my clothes if you're here?"

"Huh? I won't look at it."

Jiang Wu turned her back and said, "We're all women, are you worried that I'll see you? Besides, there's no way I could do anything to you."

The thought of Yuan Lianhai coming later and what he would do to Shen Zhixia made her very excited.

Shen Zhixia picked up a handkerchief from the side and began to wipe her clothes. Although the clothes were uncomfortable to wear, she could bear it for a while.

The origin of this dress is unknown, and she has no intention of changing it. She now regrets coming here with Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu didn't hear anything. She turned around and saw that Shen Zhixia hadn't changed her clothes at all. Instead of urging her, she took a glass of water from somewhere and handed it to Shen Zhixia, saying, "Have some water to soothe your throat."
