Chapter 355: Chapter 354: Died of Jealousy

Qian Jie whispered excitedly to Lin Yu, "You see, I was right! Lin Xia really has a partner now! And he looks so energetic! I saw them riding a bicycle together this morning. I knew they would come when the shop closed tonight!"

All day long, her heart was restless, just waiting for another glimpse of Lin Xia’s partner.

Lin Yu’s gaze remained fixed on Lin Xia’s shop, her brows furrowed in annoyance and frustration: "How could such a handsome man fall for Lin Xia? Maybe he’s just a friend!"

She knew that Lin Xia had a friend they called ’Second Brother’, but whether there was anything more between them, only they themselves knew. Judging by the way that man was protecting Lin Xia, maybe they’d messed around in secret and he’d had a taste of the forbidden fruit.

At this moment, Qian Jie wasn’t thinking about anything else, just wanting to share her opinion, "That doesn’t look like a friend to me, definitely a boyfriend! They were holding hands this morning! Didn’t you see Lin Xia wrapping her arms around his waist just now?

I never imagined Lin Xia had it in her! Not only can she make money, but she’s also found such a handsome man..."

She was simply green with envy!

She had been selling goods here for a while, had seen plenty of men, and some had pursued her, but none matched in looks, quality, or condition.

Looking at whom Lin Xia had found, she lost all interest in the men who were courting her.

Lin Yu was also dying of jealousy over Lin Xia. How could she manage to find such a handsome and distinguished man!

Looking at herself, Chen Gang was not tall, and his appearance could only be considered average.

Ever since she married Chen Gang, and with her pregnancy, her life hadn’t been nearly as good as before.

If not for the child in her belly, Chen Gang might’ve dumped her long ago.

But look at that bitch Lin Xia, living her best life, really enjoying herself.

Not only does she run several successful businesses with daily income, but she also has a murky relationship with that restaurant owner, and now, she also has such a handsome boyfriend.

Lin Yu took several deep breaths to suppress the irritation and resentment boiling inside her.

At that moment, four people walked out of the shop opposite.

Ding Ling and Sun Xiaoli helped Lu Zheng together to lock both the front and back gates and the iron door.

Lin Xia stood by with a chain lock.

Once everything was locked up, they all waved goodbye to each other.

Lu Zheng, being tall and sturdy, looked awkward as he mounted Lin Xia’s ladies’ bicycle.

But he didn’t care at all and waited on one foot for Lin Xia to sit before riding away.

Lin Xia noticed the angry stares from Lin Yu and the others. She was used to it by now; it would be strange if one day Lin Yu and her group greeted her with smiling faces.

After riding for a while, Lu Zheng finally asked, "Is that pregnant woman Lin Yu?"

"Yes, that’s her! The one standing next to her is her cousin!" Lin Xia answered.

Furrowing his brow, Lu Zheng said, "It’s really annoying having them so close!"

"Exactly! But she might not be around often because she’s been throwing up a lot from the pregnancy lately. Qian Jie is just selling goods in the shop, so it’s not a big deal!"

They hadn’t bothered Lin Xia, and she couldn’t really do anything to a pregnant woman, could she?

Even if she was heartless, she hadn’t reached that level.

Lu Zheng felt even more concerned about her and instructed, "Still, be careful!"

"Yeah, I got it! What do you want to eat? We’re heading straight to the market!" Lin Xia asked from behind.

She knew he was probably worried about her being at a disadvantage without him around.

"Don’t you know what I want to eat?" Lu Zheng asked with a laugh.

He didn’t believe she could forget.

"Humph! I know, I know! Fried pork intestines, right!" Lin Xia laughed from behind, like a cat that got the cream.

"I really miss the taste of your cooking!" Lu Zheng reminisced countless times about her dishes.

He even went to the restaurants in town, asking to borrow their kitchens to cook himself.

But no matter how he tried, he couldn’t replicate the flavor of her cooking.

"If you like it, I’ll make more for you!" Lin Xia still quite enjoyed cooking, and it seemed that she truly had a talent for it after all.

With many ingredients, she kept it simple without needing too many seasonings, yet her dishes always tasted better than others’.

Lin Qiu often mentioned this.

"And sausages!" Lu Zheng made another request.

Lin Xia laughed nonstop in the background, "Alright! Alright! You handle chopping the meat, and I’ll make them for you!"

Isn’t there a saying that if you want to conquer a man, you must first conquer his stomach?

Did this mean she had conquered Lu Zheng with her culinary skills?

"No problem!" Lu Zheng’s lips curled up high, thinking to himself how wonderful life would be if Lin Xia could cook for him every day.

Thinking about his colleagues at work, it seemed like none of their wives could make so many delicious dishes. Once Lin Xia married him, her cooking skills would undoubtedly stand out.

If any of his colleagues saw this scene, they would definitely drop their jaws in shock, thinking they were seeing things.

The normally stern-faced Lu Zheng now seemed to be smiling like a blooming flower!

Meanwhile, Lin Yu and Qian Jie also closed up shop and left.

Compared to the joviality of Lu Zheng and his companion, they seemed weighed down by heavy thoughts.

Especially Lin Yu, who, stroking her belly, felt wave after wave of resentment crashing over her like the waves at the seaside.

Qian Jie, unable to keep her mouth shut, was still thinking about Lu Zheng she had seen.

"Lin Xia’s boyfriend seems to be five or six years older than her, right? Where did she find him? Did someone introduce him to her? It’s obvious they have a great relationship!

Lin Xia is twenty-two this year, right? If she’s in a good relationship, who knows when they’ll get married... It’s just maddening how some people have all the luck..."

Qian Jie’s resentment toward Lin Xia deepened.

Lin Yu snorted coldly, "Married? I tell you, that man doesn’t know what Lin Xia used to be like!

If he knew about her staying out all night and being unclear with other men, would he still want her? She’s nothing but damaged goods, and who knows how many hands she’s passed through!"

She knew of the second brother and the leader from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. Later on, she didn’t know who Lin Xia found from the Tax Bureau, but maybe she slept with them too.

Qian Jie was hearing about this for the first time from Lin Yu, and her eyes lit up like lightbulbs.

"Lin Yu! Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, I’m telling the truth! I’m not the one who said Lin Xia stayed out all night; it was the landlord where they used to rent their house. The landlord had no reason to lie!

Also, when we went to the greenhouse, there was a stall vendor there, and he definitely had something going on with Lin Xia.

If he hadn’t gotten some sweet deal, would he be helping her that much? Even Lin Aiguo got beaten up by that guy!"

As she spoke, Lin Yu also recalled that Lin Qiang had been beaten by the same second brother and even detained.

Remembering all this, she felt a surge of anger. Lin Xia was no good at all; because of her, which one of them hadn’t been punished!

And that second brother, she was helpless at the moment, since he was quite influential with his hotel in the city.

But no flower blooms for a hundred days; when he fell on hard times, she would surely take her revenge!

Seeing that Lin Yu was so certain, not seeming to make it up, Qian Jie said excitedly, "Then we should find a way to let that man know. Won’t their relationship end then? What man could tolerate this!"

The thought of Lin Xia and her boyfriend not working out excited Qian Jie tremendously.
