Chapter 25

"Xiaotang, when did you get a girlfriend?"

Lao Ye was just about to pack up and go home, but when he heard his phone, he stopped packing and came over to Xiaotang, trying to get some information out of him.

"Oh, right, Lao Ye, you go home first. It looks like I won't have time to go to your place for a drink today. I'll come over tomorrow." Tang Zhendong really wanted to get the chatty Lao Ye to leave, but Lao Ye wasn't his pet, and he couldn't just shoo him away.

Lao Ye wanted to see the girlfriend Tang Zhendong had. He was very curious. Tang Zhendong rode a tricycle to sell fruit every day; what kind of girlfriend could he find?

Lao Ye didn't know why he was so nosy. Maybe it was because he had once rejected Tang Zhendong's offer to be a son-in-law. But at that time, Lao Ye really didn't take it seriously; it was just a casual remark.

"Lao Ye, why are you packing up so slowly? Go home quickly and make medicine for your wife. Come on, let me help you pack." Tang Zhendong said as he hastily rolled up Lao Ye's fortune-telling paraphernalia and stuffed it into Lao Ye's pocket, then pushed him, "Go home quickly!"

"Xiaotang?" A pleasant voice came from behind. Lao Ye didn't need to turn around to imagine the beauty of the person speaking. But imagination is one thing, and seeing is another. Taking advantage of Tang Zhendong's momentary stiffness, Lao Ye turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, what a beauty!"

Lao Ye thought he had seen many people. He had been fortune-telling at the train station for many years and had seen many beautiful women. Beauty is subjective; some like high noses, others like small mouths. Everyone has different tastes. But when it came to Yu Qingying, no matter how different people's tastes were, no one could deny that she was a great beauty!

Yu Qingying's beauty was universally recognized. Even the most critical person couldn't find a single flaw in her.

Her face, without makeup, was tender and beautiful. Her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and her eyebrows, nose, mouth, and eyes were like the most exquisite work of art.

Her long dress, though simple in style, was elegant. It complemented her slim figure, making her look like a beautiful butterfly.

"Yu Qingying, you're here. Look, I was just joking with my old brother!" Tang Zhendong awkwardly withdrew his hand and looked at Yu Qingying with some embarrassment.

Yu Qingying smiled, "Hehe, it's fine."

"You came so quickly!" Tang Zhendong was still trying to push Lao Ye away and then go buy some fruit, but it was clearly too late. He could only marvel at how quickly Yu Qingying had arrived.

"My workplace isn't far from here," Yu Qingying said, looking at the fruits on the tricycle, which were all blemished, and asked in surprise, "You, you're not going to treat me to these misshapen fruits, are you?"

Tang Zhendong was a bit embarrassed. He hadn't planned to treat Yu Qingying to these blemished fruits, but he hadn't had time to buy better ones. However, he couldn't say that; it would make him seem even less sincere.

"Ahem, well, you see, these misshapen fruits are actually masterpieces of nature. As the saying goes, fruits with wormholes are hygienic and environmentally friendly, and misshapen fruits taste the best. Don't believe me? Try one?" Tang Zhendong picked up a misshapen pear and handed it to Yu Qingying.

Lao Ye, who had already recovered from his shock at seeing the beauty, almost burst out laughing when he heard Tang Zhendong's blatant use of his own catchphrase. Knowledge has copyright, and Tang Zhendong had stolen his advertising slogan. Lao Ye would have to ask for his copyright fee later.

Tang Zhendong had no choice. He had been listening to Lao Ye's sales pitches for days. Lao Ye's methods were simple but effective. Tang Zhendong had heard them so many times that he couldn't help but repeat them when he met Yu Qingying.

"Ha, you're quite poetic! I didn't realize you had such a good command of language when we were in school." Yu Qingying took the misshapen pear and couldn't resist teasing Tang Zhendong.

"Let's not talk about the past." Tang Zhendong waved his hand.

Yu Qingying took a bite of the misshapen pear. The juice was abundant, and it was indeed sweet, sweet to the heart. "Mm, sweet, really sweet."

Whether Yu Qingying was sweet in her words or in her heart, it was all sweet, more or less.

Tang Zhendong had only been joking, but he hadn't expected Yu Qingying to actually take a big bite and praise it so generously.

Tang Zhendong picked up a peach, but it was a bit bruised from being picked over by customers. He handed the peach to Yu Qingying, "Want to try a peach?"

"Okay, but don't be so hasty. You should let me finish this pear first. Besides, I seriously doubt your motives. Are you trying to fill me up with fruit so you don't have to take me out for dinner tonight?" Yu Qingying looked at Tang Zhendong without blinking.

"Ahem, well, I, I, I guess that's what I meant. How did you figure it out?" Tang Zhendong couldn't find a good excuse and had to admit it.

Yu Qingying giggled, as if her plan had succeeded.

Lao Ye had been watching the two of them. After being amazed by Yu Qingying's beauty, he couldn't help but observe her attire and demeanor. It was strange, very strange. Lao Ye's eyes were sharp; he had seen countless people. He could tell at a glance that this woman exuded an aura of nobility. Nobility isn't something you can fake or buy; it comes from the long-term influence of a wealthy family. This kind of aura can't be faked, and this girl's actions and words were completely natural, with no trace of pretense.

Lao Ye wasn't surprised by the nobility; what surprised him was the girl's attitude toward Tang Zhendong. He could tell from her words and actions that she had a very good impression of Tang Zhendong.

If you looked at Tang Zhendong alone, he was indeed likable. He was tall and strong, but not clumsy, and very agile. His face was calm, and he was handsome, making him a rare good young man.

However, in today's society, when it comes to choosing a partner, it's not about looks or ability, but about family background. Tang Zhendong sold fruit on a tricycle, and it was clear what his family background was. A discerning person could see this at a glance. But this girl didn't have these世俗观念 (worldly concerns), and she treated Tang Zhendong very naturally, neither humble nor arrogant. This made Lao Ye deeply doubt his ability to judge people.
