Chapter 1967: Dumber in This Life Than the Last (8)
Duan Xi lovingly glanced at her, reached out to rub her little head, and started the car.
Shen Ting was going to participate in a competition, and Duan Xi conveniently gave him a ride to the location. After he got out of the car, Ruan Jiaojiao chirped away, telling Duan Xi about what had just happened.
Finally, she asked Duan Xi, "Brother Xi, do you think Shen Ting looks at Jiang Xun now with a kind of superior feeling, like everyone else is drunk but he’s the only one sober?"
Actually, over the past year or so, she had more than once seen Shen Ting seek out Jiang Xun. It’s just that she used to see it from afar and hadn’t gotten close enough to hear what they were saying, so she didn’t know what they talked about, only that Jiang Xun’s face looked bad.
She had previously always thought that Shen Ting wanted to strike preemptively this time, to beat down Jiang Xun, and not let him compete with him for Wa Yiting. But now it seems, that wasn’t the case. The way he mocked Jiang Xun bore a clear sense of seeing through everything with superior insight, especially what he said in the car just now, seemed less about Wa Yiting.
"He lives more transparently than in his past life." Duan Xi nodded. Some things, actually, once you step outside and view them as an observer, you’ll find that past persistence was just not seeing beyond the surface.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded along in agreement. As things stand, Shen Ting is actually quite alright, not as obsessive as in the past life. Although his words can be sharp, it’s no big deal.
Afterward, the two stopped discussing this and shifted the topic to the matter of contracting the mountain.
It’s still only ’97, and contracting mountains is very cheap. Moreover, Duan Xi found a barren mountain, so although he contracted over a dozen hectares, at a price of two hundred yuan per acre, for a 70-year contract, it didn’t cost much.
