What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Chapter 144 Are you not satisfied that my wife is me?

Perhaps it was Lin Zhuo's words that awakened her. Wan Linlin became extremely excited and became completely obsessed with Lin Zhuo.

She quickly ate some dessert and hurriedly left the cafe with Lin Zhuo.

Lin Zhuo was confused and didn't know where she was going to take him.

By the time the hot pot in front of Lin Zhuo began to bubble with steam, Lin Zhuo had not yet recovered from his shock.

So, why did you suddenly come to eat hotpot?

Looking at the red base in the pot with red peppers floating on top, Lin Zhuo felt extremely regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have asked for a shabu-shabu pot when Wan Linlin ordered.

"So, why are we here?"

As Lin Zhuo spoke, he reached out his chopsticks to pick up the fresh beef that Wan Linlin had put in.

Hiss, delicious! But so spicy!

"Aren't we going to chat? Of course we have to find a private room! And don't you think it's a good idea to eat while chatting?"

Wan Linlin seemed much more at ease than Lin Zhuo, perhaps because she had just received five million. She ordered a table full of dishes with a wave of her hand, and talked to Lin Zhuo while eating. Although she was very busy, she looked very leisurely.

"You can't handle spicy food?" Wan Linlin watched Lin Zhuo's lips and face turn red from the spiciness after just two bites.

Lin Zhuo silently took a sip of Coke and nodded.

"It's okay, there's plenty of drinks!" Wan Linlin patted her chest, indicating that Lin Zhuo was bold enough to drink.

Then I really want to thank you. I’ll matchmake with you next time. Thank you.

"What do you want to say to me?" Since it wasn't his own money, he might as well eat it, so Lin Zhuo lowered his head and picked up some food.

Speaking of this, Wan Linlin looked miserable and began to tell Lin Zhuo about her troubles.

Wan Linlin said that she was sleeping soundly at home, but when she opened her eyes she came into this world.

It was the beginning of autumn and the windows of her shabby little house were leaking air, which made her catch a cold.

Then Wan Linlin combined the things around her and found herself in a melodramatic substitute novel called "You Are My Perfect Match".

Wan Linlin told Lin Zhuo that, to her shame, this novel was her bedtime reading one day. She was attracted by the name and thought it must be a sweet story. As it did not have many words, she started reading it excitedly.

The result was that it looked like a state banquet, but in reality it was hard to swallow.

The hero Xu Wenhao's Bai Yueguang went abroad for further studies, so Xu Wenhao kept a substitute for Bai Yueguang by his side, and this substitute was Wan Linlin.

Wan Linlin, when she saw that the heroine had the same name as her, she didn't feel awkward, she just thought it was a coincidence. Now that she thinks about it, there was a reason for her to travel through time.

The heroine in the story, Wan Linlin, agreed to Xu Wenhao's keeping contract for money, but developed feelings for Xu Wenhao as they spent time together. She buried these feelings deep in her heart and left quietly after Bai Yueguang returned to China.

Xu Wenhao had always looked down on Wan Linlin. Being somewhat like Bai Yueguang was already all the value Wan Linlin had. Now that the real owner was back, the substitute should naturally leave the stage.

So Xu Wenhao not only didn't take Wan Linlin's disappearance to heart, but turned around and confessed his love to Bai Yueguang, and tried to propose a marriage to Bai Yueguang's family.

When Wan Linlin talked about this, she became even more excited. She told Lin Zhuo that she felt that Bai Yueguang was a normal person from the beginning to the end of the book.

Because after hearing Xu Wenhao's confession, Bai Li, the white moonlight, not only showed a puzzled expression, but also asked Xu Wenhao if he was still asleep.

After not seeing each other for several years and even having not contacted her during this period, he suddenly confessed that he liked her. Bai Li did not feel happy. Instead, she thought that Xu Wenhao was coveting her family property, so she reminded her parents to pay attention overnight.

After Xu Wenhao was rejected by Bai Li, he thought of Wan Linlin again. He found that he still couldn't forget Wan Linlin and thought that he must like Wan Linlin, so he started looking for Wan Linlin again.

However, Wan Linlin had already started working in the villain's company, and after spending these days together, the villain began to have feelings for her and was even prepared to divorce his original wife in order to pursue Wan Linlin.

At this moment, Xu Wenhao appeared in front of Wan Linlin again, disturbing Wan Linlin's heart.

What follows is that the two men fight for a woman. Of course, there are all kinds of people finding fault with them, but this only makes Xu Wenhao more determined. In the end, the male protagonist defeats the villain and wins the heart of the female protagonist, and finally marries her and lives happily together.

"Hmm, and then what?" Lin Zhuo stuck out his tongue because of the spicy taste and motioned Wan Linlin to continue while he was listening.

"After I finished watching it I just want to say, damn it, you deceived my feelings! What a rubbish plot, die!" Wan Linlin didn't look gentle and lovely at all at this moment. Instead, she looked indignant, as if she had been defrauded of a huge sum of money.

Wan Linlin was so angry that she slammed the table. "You know, I spent ten yuan just to read this crappy book! Ten yuan! I couldn't sleep the whole night after reading it!"

"What's even more outrageous is that I was transported here two days after I finished reading it. I felt really sick, as if I had eaten a fly." Wan Linlin leaned back in her chair, rubbing her brows, as if all her energy had been sucked out of her.

Lin Zhuo held his face and bit his chopsticks, and said cheerfully: "Why, the male lead should be good-looking, don't you like handsome rich second-generation guys?"

"Total idiot! The heroine seemed to be somewhat ambitious under your husband, but after marrying this guy, she became a simple, cuddly little wife. What a thing! Ugh!" Wan Linlin rolled her eyes when she said this.

Lin Zhuo agreed with this statement. The extra chapter of the original text did write about the married life of the heroine and the hero, as well as the greasy life after pregnancy. At that time, the heroine was indeed like a weak and helpless little white flower.

"But doesn't the original text have a plot where Xu Wenhao's mother spends money to buy out your relationship?" Lin Zhuo recalled the scene in the coffee shop just now. It turned out that there was no such scene. Even if he didn't go to the winery and changed the plot, the heroine shouldn't meet the hero's mother now.

Lin Zhuo looked at Wan Linlin. It should be that the heroine has just been kept by the hero. The hero has done nothing but look at the heroine and miss her every day. His family should not know about this.

"Ah, that!" When Wan Linlin heard Lin Zhuo mention Xu Wenhao's mother, she stopped eating noodles and said, "I told his mother about it. I secretly sent her a photo of the two of us."

At this point, Wan Linlin clapped her hands and laughed: "You have no idea how excited he was. He hired someone to collect information about me overnight. I even cooperated with the detective who investigated me. The money he gave us was split 30% and 70% between us!"

Then Wan Linlin spread her hands and said, "Look, after knowing that I am of no use to her son, she is here to break up with us! Damn, it's a huge sum of money. Don't even mention five million, I want five hundred thousand!"

Lin Zhuo was shocked when he heard her say that she split the money with the detective 30%-70%. He didn't expect Wan Linlin had this talent. Then he asked Wan Linlin what her purpose was.

Wan Linlin laughed, and then said bitterly: "Brother, you don't know how miserable I am! When I first came here, I didn't even have a thousand dollars in savings! At least I had a house and a car in my original world without a loan, and even a few tens of thousands in savings. Now I have nothing here!!"

As she spoke, Wan Linlin burst into tears.

That's really tragic. Lin Zhuo expressed his deep sympathy.

"Especially, I don't want to leave this stupid plot at all. Looking at Xu Wenhao's hypocritical face makes me sick. I have to ask for some mental damages."

"You two are together, doesn't Xu Wenhao give you money?" Lin Zhuo was puzzled. How come Xu Wenhao is the male protagonist, and his family is also a big company in the setting, so he can't be poor?

"Ha! I get angry when you mention this! Do you know how humble the female lead's contract is? Five years! Only 280,000 for five years! Damn it, I've never seen such a poor CEO!"

Wan Linlin was so angry that she was about to go crazy: "I have hands and feet, a decent diploma, and quite a bit of experience. I'm not bragging, I can earn more than 200,000 in a few years! I wasted my youth by being with him. What was I trying to gain? Was it because of his face or his figure? I really am!"

"..."

"Host, this male protagonist is really stingy. Which president in the novel doesn't spend millions? He didn't even give me the rounded sum of 0617." listened to the whole story in Lin Zhuo's mind while leisurely eating melon seeds, and felt very sympathetic towards Wan Linlin's experience.

Lin Zhuo agreed. Even though his marriage with Duan Yunqi was just a fake one, the other party didn't make it hard for him and gave him a minimum monthly pocket money of 500,000 yuan.

But according to the original plot, he is also a prodigal son, and five hundred thousand is not enough for Mr. Lin to spend for two nights. Once or twice is okay, but if it happens more than once, Duan Yunqi doesn't want to be the sucker, so he warned Lin Zhuo.

"What's even more outrageous! Daily expenses cannot exceed five thousand! I think this is okay, after all, I don't think I can spend that much, but he won't give me the extra! He won't even give me five thousand!" Wan Linlin cursed, wondering why she was so unlucky to meet such a man.

Lin Zhuo sipped his Coke and said, "Well, how about you just think of it as spending money to appreciate male beauty? After all, the male protagonists in novels are all pretty good looking!"

"You are right, but I don't appreciate it." Wan Linlin crossed her hands in front of her face with an unpleasant expression.

"?" What's the matter? Is Xu Wenhao so unsatisfactory in appearance?

"I'm a lesbian."

"Puff—cough cough cough cough cough!" Lin Zhuo was so shocked by Wan Linlin's words that he successfully choked himself.

What? Did I hear that correctly?

"No, you? Huh?" Lin Zhuo looked at Wan Linlin in disbelief.

"Yes, I like girls." Wan Linlin said calmly, and put some beef into the pot.

"......" Ha, ha, ha... that really makes you suffer...

Wan Linlin started to curse again: "I just read a romance novel as a bedtime reading. If I knew I would be transported into a novel, I should have dug out my treasured novel to read. It's really unlucky."

What else could Lin Zhuo say? He could only eat his food in silence.

"Oh yeah, let's add each other's contact information. I don't know anyone here, and you're the only friend I know now. Woohoo, you don't even know what kind of life I went through before. I couldn't even find anyone I could trust to talk to!"

As she spoke, Wan Linlin took out her cell phone, and Lin Zhuo could tell at a glance that it was the latest model.

Beautiful, but not too hard on yourself.

Lin Zhuo and Wan Linlin successfully added the green bubble. After Lin Zhuo gave her a note, he asked her, "Aren't you afraid that I'm not a good person either, and will tell Xu Wenhao about it?"

"What a joke! With my ability, there is no way I could have made a mistake. You are definitely a great person! You are my half-sister from another world!"

"Okay, okay! Stop, stop, stop!"

There were too many factors and Lin Zhuo didn’t know how to complain about it.

While the two were eating and chatting, Lin Zhuo's phone suddenly lit up. It was an unfamiliar number.

Lin Zhuo answered: "Hello?"

The next second, a greasy, unfamiliar male voice came from the other side: "Mr. Lin, didn't you say you would treat everyone to a drink? Why haven't you come yet? Did you get lost on the road? Why can't I even get through on the phone?"

Oh, it turned out to be the group of people I had an appointment with. I had blocked their phone numbers before, but I didn’t expect them to call me from a different number. It seemed they were determined to make me pay.

Lin Zhuo laughed: "Why? You guys won't drink if I'm not there?"

The man on the other end of the phone looked at the red wine bottles scattered in front of them. They only picked the expensive ones. This table cost a lot of money.

The man grinned shyly again. Lin Zhuo could smell the alcohol coming from him even when he was leaning against the screen. "Don't say that, Mr. Lin. We are trying it for you first. We have to save the best for you, right? When are you coming over?"

Oh, you want to pay over there? You wish!

"I won't go. I have an appointment. You can drink the best wine for me."

"No, didn't we agree that you would treat us today?"

"Who? Me? Did I say that? Didn't you guys clamor for me to treat you? Did I agree?" Wan Linlin looked at Lin Zhuo, who was smiling but spoke in an extremely cold tone. She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

As Lin Zhuo spoke, he pointed with his chopsticks, signaling Wan Linlin to continue eating.

"Then you agreed, didn't you? How can you say it was us who instigated it?"

"You don't have to say all this. It's okay if it happens once or twice. Don't really treat me as a sucker. You don't have to contact me again in the future. Just consider the money I paid you before as a reward from my friend. Bye." After saying that, Lin Zhuo quickly added this number to the blacklist.

"Fuck? Do you think you're someone important if you have some shame? If you hadn't entered the Duan family, who would be willing to play with you?!" The man cursed loudly as he heard the beeping sound coming from the phone.

"Why? He's not coming?"

"People are now too aloof and don't want to play with us."

"If it weren't for Duan Yunqi, who would even look at him, bah!"

"Stop talking nonsense, who's paying?"

"..."

Seeing Lin Zhuo's calm face, Wan Linlin asked tentatively, "Who is it? Your friend?"

Lin Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "It's just a fun way to kill time. Have you finished eating? I'll pay when you're done."

Wan Linlin nodded first, then waved her hand: "It's my treat."

"How can you let a girl pay? Besides, you just got some money, so keep it." Lin Zhuo got up from the chair, picked up his coat and went out to pay.

"Lin Zhuo?"

When Lin Zhuo was paying, she heard someone calling her, so she turned around and saw that her cheap husband seemed to be having dinner with his friends.

Wow, this is a familiar feeling. Now I can’t call him cheap husband anymore, he is the main wife.

That’s good, we don’t have to get divorced.

"Is this my sister-in-law?" A lively boy among the group poked his head out from behind Duan Yunqi.

Lin Zhuo didn't say anything, just nodded, as if he was saying hello to the boy.

"Are you ready?" At this time, Wan Linlin, who had finished packing, came out of the private room and walked to Lin Zhuo.

"Who is this?" Duan Yunqi frowned when he saw Wan Linlin. At the same time, he felt a little depressed, which made him feel very strange.

Although he had been with Lin Zhuo for more than a month, this feeling was the first time he had ever experienced it.

"Friend, just like you, I came here to eat with friends." Lin Zhuoyun scanned the code and paid the bill calmly, then signaled to Duan Yunqi: "We're done eating, let's leave first."

After saying that, he left the store with the dazed Wan Linlin.

"Brother?" The boy patted Duan Yunqi: "Are you okay?" He didn't expect that when he urged his brother to have a hot pot, he would run into his sister-in-law.

"I'm fine." Duan Yunqi's voice was the same as always, no emotion could be heard.
