Tang Zhiyun was about to speak when Xiao Yue panicked and introduced him first. “He is my older brother.”
Young Master Qian extended his hand to Tang Zhiyun. “h.e.l.lo, I am Qian Bin.”
“Tang Zhiyun.”
After they shook hands, Qian Bin told Tang Zhiyun what had happened and finally said:
“My female companion splashed water on purpose. Since the shop insisted they buy the outfits, I helped Miss Xiao Yue pay for it. If you don’t want it, you can just throw it away. I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
He then glanced at Xiao Yue with a look that said, ‘I’m waiting for you to treat me to coffee’, before leaving gracefully.
Xiao Yue watched as Qian Bin left, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on the name card in her hand.
The shop a.s.sistant standing at the side looked at Xiao Yue with disdain in her eyes. She reminded her, “Miss, your clothes.”
Xiao Yue looked at the bag in the shop a.s.sistant’s hand and wanted to take it, but she was too embarra.s.sed to do so because Tang Zhiyun was here.
Looking at the clothes she was wearing and the clothes handed over by the shop a.s.sistant, Tang Zhiyun asked, “How much is this?”
“Sir, the total is 510,000 yuan.”
Tang Zhiyun looked at Xiao Yue in surprise.
Xiao Yue suddenly blushed and quickly explained, “I… I just wanted to try.”
At this moment, Mrs. Tang and Tang Zhiyun’s younger brother walked in.
Mrs. Tang immediately saw the clothes on Xiao Yue and the clothes that the shop a.s.sistant handed her. At the same time, she heard the price the shop a.s.sistant mentioned and her heart skipped a beat. Her face darkened.
She strode over with a dark face and said to the shop a.s.sistant, “We only want this one on her. We don’t want the other one.”
“Auntie Tang…”
Xiao Yue wanted to say that Tang Zhiyun wasn’t the one who bought it, but she couldn’t say it out loud. She felt that if she did, Mrs. Tang would definitely think nonsense.
Thinking that she couldn’t bear to part with it, Mrs. Tang tried to persuade her. “Xiao Yue, Zhiyun’s company has just started operating. We need money now. If you want fine clothes, you can buy them after Zhiyun’s company makes a lot of money in a year or two.”
Xiao Yue felt extremely uncomfortable. She thought to herself, ‘Your son wasn’t even the one who bought these clothes. If you’re already talking about all this to me in the capacity of a mother-in-law now, does that mean that you’ll have to meddle in everything when I marry into your family in the future?’
Tang Zhiyun looked at the two women who both had dark expressions and said, “Mom, I didn’t buy these two sets of clothes for Xiao Yue.”
He told Mrs. Tang what he knew.
Mrs. Tang’s expression turned even uglier as she looked at Xiao Yue now.
She thought to herself, ‘While I was going to the toilet, you secretly came to try on these clothes. Who knows if you intentionally splashed the water? 500,000 yuan? A stranger bought it for her and she accepted it so righteously? Isn’t this giving others a chance to gossip about Old Tang?’
The more she thought about it, the worse Mrs. Tang’s expression became. She said forcefully, “I’m tired. I won’t shop anymore.”
After saying that, she walked out of the door.
Tang Zhiyun gestured for his brother to go after their mother.
Then, he looked at Xiao Yue, who was standing there with a dark expression, and said to her, “Xiao Yue, let’s go too.”
Another shop a.s.sistant took out the clothes that Xiao Yue had placed in the fitting room. Xiao Yue didn’t change back into her own clothes and followed him out with two bags.
After the two of them walked out, Tang Zhiyun said, “Xiao Yue, no matter what you think, I don’t have the ability to buy you such fine clothes now. I also told you before that I have a girl I like.”
Xiao Yue abruptly turned to glare at him with a pitiful glint in her eyes. “Brother Tang, do you think I deliberately let someone splash water on me?”
This thought had not crossed Tang Zhiyun’s mind at all. Hearing her question, he frowned.
“Xiao Yue, don’t think too much. I’m just talking about us. I told you from the start that I can only treat you as a younger sister. I don’t have any romantic thoughts about you. You…”
“Stop talking!”
Xiao Yue had felt guilty for getting two sets of such expensive clothes for no reason. Coupled with Mrs. Tang’s expression, she was furious and aggrieved when Tang Zhiyun said that. She shouted at Tang Zhiyun,
“You must think that I am a vain woman, that’s why you said that on purpose. Tang Zhiyun, I hate you.”
With that, she ran off.
Worried that she was unfamiliar with this place and wouldn’t be able to find her after she ran off, Tang Zhiyun chased after her.
…
Chu Luo looked up from the video and looked at the calm Wu Yiyao.
Wu Yiyao stirred the coffee in her hand and commented, “He’s indeed an IT guy.”
Xie Minghai, who had been sitting at the side and didn’t dare to say anything, finally couldn’t help but speak up for Tang Zhiyun.
“Teacher Little Wu, although us IT guys aren’t good with words and aren’t good with interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps, we’re loyal. Moreover, if we like someone, we will like them for the rest of our lives.”
Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao tilted their heads to look at him.
Xie Minghai scratched his head. “I’m telling the truth.”
Wu Yiyao suddenly picked up her bag and stood up. “I’ll go take a look.”
With that, she left.
Xie Minghai and the others looked at Wu Yiyao, who left immediately, then at Chu Luo, who was sitting there without moving. They panicked. “Junior, why did Teacher Little Wu go shopping just like that? Should we follow her?”
Chu Luo stirred her coffee, thinking that Senior Tang had a chance, but she deliberately said, “If I had known that coffee was so awful, I wouldn’t have drunk it.”
Xie Minghai and the others: “…”
Junior, why are you still concerned about coffee at a time like this?
Only then did Chu Luo say, “If you want to follow, just follow. In any case, I don’t like going to places with so many people. It’s so crowded.”
Xie Minghai and the others looked at each other.
Yu Lei said, “Junior, then sit here and wait for us. We’ll come look for you after accompanying Teacher Little Wu shopping.”
“Sure.”
Chu Luo nodded and waved at the waiter.
After she had entered the cafe, she had taken off her mask and hat. At this moment, everyone in the cafe was stealing glances at her. Moreover, many people recognized her.
When the waiter saw her waving, he immediately walked over. “Miss, what do you want?”
“Give me two slices of your shop’s signature cake and a gla.s.s of juice.”
She then asked, “Do you have juice here?”
The waiter was about to shake his head when the manager gestured to him and quickly said, “Yes.”
Chu Luo nodded. “That’s all.”
“Okay, please wait.”
Xie Minghai and the others left in peace.
Chu Luo sat by the window of the cafe, just enough to see the entire square. She glanced in the direction Wu Yiyao had left and couldn’t help but smile. She muttered, “Looks like you do feel something for him.”
Then, she took out her phone and started looking at the microbiology specialization cla.s.s.
Not long after, a man and woman suddenly walked in the cafe. The woman was Qin Xiang, and the man was a foreigner.
The man had an aura that only n.o.bles had. It was obvious that he wasn’t of a low status, but his eyes were frivolous. He was obviously an experienced player in love.
The two of them walked in happily. Qin Xiang immediately saw Chu Luo sitting by the window and looking at her phone seriously. A glint flashed across her eyes.
The man also saw Chu Luo sitting there and was shocked.
“Candy (Qin Xiang’s English name), do you know that beauty?”
Qin Xiang glanced at the man who wished he could fix his eyes on Chu Luo. It was unknown what she was thinking, but she deliberately said in an ambiguous tone, “Yes, but you better not provoke this person. Otherwise, you will regret it.”
When Chadeley heard this, the strong urge to conquer surged in his heart. His lips curled into a confident smile. “I just want to get to know the beauty. Why would I regret it? Could it be… Candy, you’re jealous?”
Qin Xiang deliberately glared at him in dissatisfaction. “If I said that I was angry, would you not go over?”
“No.” Chadeley leaned in and whispered suggestively in her ear. “No matter how beautiful the women out there are, I’m just playing around. You’re my favorite.”
Qin Xiang sneered in her heart. ‘You like the Qin family’s current power the most, don’t you?’
Yet, a shy expression appeared on her face. “I believe you.”
Coincidentally, the Qin family also needed the help of the faction behind him.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Qin Xiang consciously walked to a seat far away from where Chu Luo was sitting and sat down.
Chadeley walked straight towards Chu Luo.
“Hi, beauty, can I sit opposite you?”
At the interruption, Chu Luo looked up from the video at the man staring at her in displeasure and said coldly, “No.”
Chadeley thought to himself, ‘So she’s a beautiful wild cat. But I like that.’
The corners of his lips curled up into the most charming smile. He deliberately pretended not to understand her rejection and said in the gentlest tone,
“Beauty, you seem to be alone. Coincidentally, I like to sit by the window and look at the scenery outside.. This is a good spot… I promise not to disturb you.”
