Chapter 361: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
Cai Zhenzhen looked up when she heard the voice, and her eyes fell on Wen Yang's face. When she saw Wen Yang with his hair combed and makeup put on, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of jealousy swept over her. Wen Yang was a famous and rare beauty in Honghua Village. She was loved by her father and brother at home. She seldom did heavy work and was spared from a lot of wind and sun exposure. Her bare face was already stunning enough.
Now with makeup on, her curved eyebrows and plump, rosy lips make her look even more dazzling. No wonder Peng Guochang likes Wen Yang...
Looking at herself again, with her dark yellow and thin face, and her hands with rough palms and thick joints from long-term work, Cai Zhenzhen unconsciously felt a little ashamed of herself.
She bit her lower lip, feeling the jealousy in her heart growing like weeds.
But she still forced a fake smile on her face and asked, "Wen Yang, you are dressed so beautifully today, where are you going?"
Hearing this question, Wen Yang immediately became alert. Instead of answering, she asked, "So what exactly did you come to see me about today?"
"That's right. Xiaohua said yesterday that she saw fireflies in the woods east of the village at night and invited us to go and see them too." Cai Zhenzhen tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.
"The woods east of the village?" Wen Yang asked with a half-smile on his face, "Zhenzhen, aren't you most afraid of insects? When did you become interested in fireflies?"
Cai Zhenzhen's heart tightened, and she hurriedly made up an excuse, "Xiaohua said that the insects are bright at night, and you can't see the insect's body!"
Wen Yang glanced at Cai Zhenzhen meaningfully, "Oh? Really?"
She would never believe Cai Zhenzhen's nonsense. Besides, the woods to the east of the village were at the border with Huangshi Village. If she asked her to go to the woods over there at night, who knew what would happen.
"Yes, yes, that's right. I heard it's very beautiful! Like the stars in the forest!" Cai Zhenzhen said in an exaggerated tone, fearing that Wen Yang would not believe her.
"Okay, I understand." Wen Yang replied in a light tone.
"Then are you going?" Cai Zhenzhen couldn't confirm what Wen Yang meant from his tone, so she asked again.
Wen Yang acted very embarrassed and said, "I have something to do tonight."
"What's the matter?" Cai Zhenzhen was a little confused.
Wen Yang lowered his head and said shyly, "Brother Guochang asked me to meet him under the big locust tree in the village at 8 o'clock in the evening."
"What!" Cai Zhenzhen couldn't help but raise her voice, then immediately realized that her reaction was a bit too exaggerated. So she coughed twice and then continued in a low voice: "So you dressed so beautifully today, are you planning to meet Brother Guochang tonight?"
"Yeah." Wen Yang nodded with a smile, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Sure enough, when Cai Zhenzhen heard this, the hypocrisy on her face suddenly became unbearable, "Is that so..."
After a long while, she finally adjusted her facial expression. She put on a smile that was uglier than crying and persuaded him, "Wen Yang, why don't you come with us to see the fireflies tonight? Xiao Hua will definitely be very happy if you can come with us."
Wen Yang frowned, pretending to hesitate. It seemed like a long while had passed before he finally made up his mind and asked, "Six o'clock in the evening?" "The woods east of the village?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, since you invite me so warmly, I'll go." Wen Yang said helplessly.
When Cai Zhenzhen heard Wen Yang's agreement, a sincere smile immediately appeared on her face.
As long as Xu Weiren succeeds, Wen Yang will have to go to Huangshi Village to live a hard life. As long as she enters that poor village of Huangshi Village, she will never be able to live a better life than her!
By then, she will have to serve the Xu family's old and young every day. No matter how beautiful she is now, she will only become a yellow-faced woman in the future!
Just thinking of this, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
"Then I'll go over after I finish my work in the fields tonight. You can come at six in the evening and we'll meet in the grove at the east end of the village." Cai Zhenzhen said with a smile. Perhaps she was thinking of the hard life that Wen Yang was about to have, so she couldn't suppress the hypocritical smile on the corner of her mouth.
Wen Yang looked at the smile on Cai Zhenzhen's face, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and replied: "Okay."
Seeing Wen Yang agree, Cai Zhenzhen immediately felt that the matter was settled!
At this time, Wen Yang suddenly said, "By the way, Zhenzhen, wait for me for a moment." After that, he walked into the house.
After a while, she came out with a white bow hairpin in her hand and handed it to Cai Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, this hairpin doesn't look good on me. I think it should suit you very well. I'll give it to you."
Cai Zhenzhen looked at the white bow hairpin that Wen Yang handed over and was slightly stunned. After a while, she reached out to take it and said, "Thank you."
Wen Yang smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, we are friends."
But if you look closely, you will find that Wen Yang's smile does not reach his eyes.
Cai Zhenzhen got the advantage. She looked at the delicate bow hairpin in her hand and liked it more and more. Wen Yang would be with Xu Weiren at six o'clock in the evening, so Wen Yang would definitely not be able to see Brother Guochang at eight o'clock. In that case, she could only meet him on his behalf!
Thinking of this, Cai Zhenzhen's smile became even brighter.
So she took the hairpin and walked briskly towards the gate of Wen Yang's yard. Before leaving the yard, she turned around and reminded him, "Don't forget! See you at six o'clock in the evening!"
"I understand." Wen Yang still had a smile on his face.
However, after Cai Zhenzhen's back disappeared at the gate of the Wen family, the expression on Wen Yang's face suddenly turned cold, replaced by a frosty indifference.
Zhao Lifang heard what Cai Zhenzhen said as she left the house. Puzzled, she walked over to Wen Yang and asked, "Yangyang, why did you give that white bow hairpin to Zhenzhen? Didn't you like it before?"
Facing Zhao Lifang's doubts, Wen Yang raised her lips and pulled out a smile. When she frequently met Xu Weiren before, she always carried that hairpin with her, so this hairpin was just right to give to Cai Zhenzhen as a "gift".
But she couldn't bring herself to go through so much trouble with her mother, so she made up an excuse: "Mom, I feel like that hairpin looks a bit childish on me now, so it's a good idea to give it to Zhenzhen."
Zhao Lifang was not very fond of the current aesthetic trends, so when Wen Yang said he didn't like it, she didn't ask any further.
However, there was still one thing that confused her. When Cai Zhenzhen just walked out of the yard, she made an appointment with Wen Yang to meet at six o'clock tonight.
Zhao Lifang asked, "Why did you make an appointment with Cai Zhenzhen to meet at six o'clock in the evening? You have to take the village bus to your aunt's house in the county town at noon."
Wen Yang took Zhao Lifang's hand and said softly, "Mom, it's okay. I won't see Zhenzhen tonight. I'll leave by car at noon."
