Chapter 136: Pandering
"Wang Zhao was called by me, Liang Jie and I invited you to dinner, I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so I invited my friend Wang Zhao.
Although Wang Zhao and I don't know each other that well, he is the only single one among my friends, so I want to introduce you to each other. After Liu Xiaotong finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Wen Jiali, as if to say that my thank you gift is good.
"Single? You're kidding, I ran into him and his girlfriend last time. Wen Jiali immediately replied.
"Oh? Wang Zhao, when did you fall in love? Liu Xiaotong immediately showed a very surprised look.
"No, we've broken up. And it has always been her initiative to pursue me, and I am embarrassed to refuse. Wang Zhao explained to Wen Jiali a little greasy.
"Huh." Wen Jiali didn't even look at him.
She actually wanted to stand up and leave, but remembering the strength they had pulled her with just now, she felt that she might not be able to run away.
So she very unceremoniously picked up the menu and said:
"Since you want to thank me, then you're welcome."
She flipped through the menu and ordered a few more delicate dishes that she liked to eat.
Liu Xiaotong saw that she was so polite, so she didn't continue to say polite things like you order casually.
During the meal, Liang Jie kept bringing the topic to Wang Zhao and Wen Jiali, and kept saying that they were a good match, as if they couldn't wait for them to get married on the spot.
Wen Jiali didn't pay attention to this, just lowered her head and ate the food she ordered.
"Carrie, why don't you speak? Is the food at this restaurant not to taste? Liang Jie saw that she didn't fall into her own trap at all, so she began to find fault.
"It's delicious, but my mother told me not to speak, let me eat obediently when I eat, and don't talk all the time." Wen Jiali said seriously, not caring about the change in Liang Jie's face.
may be because Wen Jiali is not very good at talking by nature, so she shows some low emotional intelligence, or maybe she is talking a lot about Liang Jie.
In this regard, Liang Jie was sure that she was deliberately squeezing herself, so she said with some grievances:
"I'm also afraid that it will be embarrassing for everyone to sit together and just eat, and not talking, but I didn't expect you to be used to chatting while eating.
Well, let's go have coffee in a while, and we'll talk when we get there, so you two can have a good chat. β
"No, I can't keep the store closed, I'm going back to see the store.
And you should go to work in the afternoon. Wen Jiali looked at Wang Zhao and said.
To be honest, Wen Jiali felt uncomfortable sitting here, Wang Zhao's eyes were very strange, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Liang Jie speaks with a gun and a stick, always stabbing her. Only Liu Xiaotong was normal, and he was relatively quiet after saying a few words of thanks at the beginning.
But he always looked at Wang Zhao with playful eyes, and he didn't know what he was happy about.
Anyway, Wen Jiali plans to ask the two of them to have dinner with her again in the future, and she will not come out again no matter what.
"Let the king summon you later, and we'll go shopping." Liang Jie said after glancing at Liu Xiaotong.
"No, I can take the bus by myself." After speaking, Wen Jiali lowered her head, thinking that she already had a driver's license and could go buy a car.
"It's okay, anyway, there will be activities in that area in the afternoon, I'll send you there. I just have something to talk to you about. But Wang Zhao followed Wen Jiali closely.
It wasn't until he blocked her in front of his car that he opened the door and motioned for her to come in.
Wen Jiali thought about it for a while, but still got into the car.
It's just that she is not sitting in the co-pilot, but the "boss" in the back.
"How are we going to talk when you sit down?" Wang Zhao turned to look at her helplessly.
"Sorry, I don't like to be in the passenger seat, it doesn't feel safe. You drive! Wen Jiali's last sentence seemed to be saying to her driver, which made Wang Zhao's expression a little bad.
But he quickly turned around, put away his unkind expression, and said calmly:
"You know about Yang Zhanxin's imprisonment, right? I don't think you were a witness that day, and I want to say thank you for that. β
"Why thank me? Do you care so much about Yang Zhanxin? Wen Jiali asked puzzled.
"I have a normal relationship with him, and I didn't expect to see him at the police station that day, which was quite unexpected. Although we rarely keep in touch, as friends, we don't want him to be in prison for a long time.
And you didn't testify against him, so you can be regarded as helping me. Wang Zhao started the car, looked at the rearview mirror and said,
"How can this be considered a help for you? I had already recorded my statement at the police station and did not testify because the court did not feel the need to let me go to court.
And why should you, as a police officer, want a criminal not to sit in jail for a long time? Regarding Wang Zhao's kind words, Wen Jiali didn't buy it at all.
"It's not work time right now, so I'm not speaking as a police officer. Just as a friend of Yang Zhanxin, and a friend of yours. β
"I'm not friends with you, if it weren't for Liu Xiaotong contacting you privately without me knowing, we wouldn't have been able to eat together." Wen Jiali looked at his back with some caution and immediately retorted.
"Don't speak so directly, you're going to hurt me. Although we have only eaten together today, we have known each other for a long time. Wang Zhao scratched his head helplessly and said as if pleading.
"Are you talking about the last time you went to the police? Does that count as acquaintance? As a citizen, I just recognized the police officer in charge of our district. β
"Alas...... Well, why do you always reject people from thousands of miles away? I just want to be friends with you, but you're always looking for ways to say no. After Wang Zhao finished speaking, he glanced back at her.
"We may not be suitable to be friends, so you better take a good look at the road ahead." Wen Jiali refused very directly.
This kind of friend whose purpose is not pure, she is too lazy to make it.
"How many years have you graduated, right?" Wang Zhao suddenly changed the subject.
"Well, three or four years." Wen Jiali nodded.
"But why do you still look like a student? In society, we sometimes feel a little involuntary, and there are some people we hate, but we still have to cater to them.
We also need to be good at dancing with long sleeves and learn to get along with different people in different ways. Just like you and me, although you don't like me very much, you can accept me a little hypocritically. Wang Zhao looked like a life mentor and chatted with Wen Jiali about the way of doing things.
"It's too much trouble to do this, and I don't want to tire myself too much." Wen Jiali looked at Wang Zhao's back and was in a trance for a moment.
In fact, many people say this about her, and they all say that she is too naΓ―ve, too timid, and too withdrawn.
But Wen Jiali thinks it's good to be alive, why does she have to be like everyone else, why do you have to cater to others in everything?
In fact, she does not refuse to integrate into society and refuse to change, but she is unwilling to change too deliberately. She felt like she was going to change slowly, before she knew it.
