Chapter 174 -158: Boyfriend! Beauty Zhao will show you a good time tonight! _2
“Wow, you’re amazing! I don’t know a thing about this stuff, but when I get rich, I’ll definitely come to you for financial advice.”
As the beautician looked at her with admiration, Lin Muxue felt a bit high and mighty, and casually said, “Sure, feel free to come to me. I’m a professional in this field.”
After taking a few photos with Zhao Yaqian’s LV bag, the two walked out of the beauty salon together and got into a taxi.
The glittering night scene outside the window caught Lin Muxue’s gaze; she was drawn to the Dingshi Commercial Center’s twinkling lights in the near distance, calling to mind a tall and stately figure, which left her looking somewhat distracted.
I have to say, his temperament is really something, especially when he’s standing on stage, radiant and glowing like a star.
She lit up her phone, opened WeChat, and tapped on the chat box.
After hesitating for a while, she finally gave up.
“Hello, we’ve arrived at YJHT.” The taxi came to a slow stop at the curb, and the driver gave her a reminder.
Hurriedly collecting her thoughts, Lin Muxue waved goodbye to Zhao Yaqian.
The taxi continued on and stopped at Building 8 of Sky Garden.
As soon as she got out,
“Ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling—” her cellphone rang.
She glanced at the incoming call information.
Zhao Yaqian answered the phone in a hurry, “Hello, mom, why are you calling me so late all of a sudden? Is there some kind of emergency, or has someone come to our house to collect debts again?”
Her mother had been scammed out of over 900,000 yuan due to fake online orders and still owed about 600,000 yuan in external debts.
Most of the money was borrowed from relatives and friends, and occasionally people would come to their home demanding repayment.
Once, after getting drunk, her third uncle smashed their family’s air conditioning unit.
Soon, her mother’s voice came through the phone, somewhat anxious and stern, “It’s not about that. Qianqian, tell me, what’s this all of a sudden about having a boyfriend on your social media? Why haven’t I heard you mention him before?”
Overwhelmed by a barrage of questions, Zhao Yaqian’s head started to ache, she replied softly, “I’m already working and an adult. Isn’t it normal to have a boyfriend?”
She regretted a bit in her heart. If she had known, she wouldn’t have posted that silhouette couple photo on her social media.
The reason she hadn’t mentioned it to her family was to avoid their endless inquiries.
On the phone, her mother hesitated a bit before continuing, “When did you two start dating? What’s he like? What does he do for a living? Does he know about our family’s situation?”
At her mother’s words, Zhao Yaqian’s lips pouted with a trace of grievance, “You know the situation our family is in; how could I have the heart to tell him?”
That was her biggest concern at the moment.
Initially rejecting Tang Song was mainly due to her family’s circumstances.
Later, deciding boldly to be with him, apart from really liking him, was also somewhat influenced by the BMW, which eased many of her worries.
She considered such matters to be somewhat shameful and a thorn in her side.
So, up to now, she hadn’t dared to tell Tang Song about her family’s situation.
“I’m just worried about you. You’ve only been working for half a year; I’m afraid someone might deceive you. At least give me a rough idea about him, or else I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Zhao Yaqian bit her lip. While walking upstairs, she said, “He’s a nice person, very good to me, and he has both a car and a house in Yan City.”
Her mother had been somewhat neurotic since she’d been swindled, and if she didn’t reassure her, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.
“How old is he?”
“25 years old.”
The tone on the phone immediately became cheerful, “That’s great, that’s great!”
“Alright, mom, I’m hanging up now. I have to get up early for the day shift tomorrow. I’m going to sleep!”
She ended the call, took out her keys, and unlocked her apartment door.
The living room was peaceful and quiet. Knowing that she was coming home by taxi tonight, her cousin had already gone to bed early.
Zhao Yaqian changed her shoes and slipped into her room, sprawling out on the bed in a starfish position.
Tomorrow she had plans to watch a movie with Tang Song, and the day after that, they had a date for the whole day. She was a bit excited!
…
May 19, 2023, Friday, thunderstorms, 19~30°C.
In the early morning, when Tang Song opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the sketch next to him.
Looking at Secretary Jin’s face on the paper, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Good morning.”
With the sound of a bank deposit notification, Tang Song got up from bed neat and tidy.
Time to stick to a routine!
8 o’clock in the morning.
Dressed for the day, Tang Song picked up his phone and saw several unread messages.
[Lingling: “Little brother, I’ve looked at the photo you sent carefully. The sketch is well done and very detailed.”]
[Lingling: “With this, designing the pattern isn’t difficult. I’ll get it done for you this weekend.”]
Tang Song smiled and transferred 3,000 yuan to her.
He left a message: “Received, thanks for your help, Lingling. This is your part-time fee. You’ve worked hard.”
After all, he was taking up her rest time, and it wouldn’t be right not to pay her.
[Lingling: “No need, no need, senior. Besides, that’s too much. With such a complete sketch, the pattern isn’t troublesome for me. Just treat me to a meal next time.”]
Then she sent a message that the transfer was returned.
After a thought, Tang Song didn’t insist and replied, “Alright then, I’ll treat you to a feast.”
When the time came, he could also give her a gift, which could deepen their friendship.
He put away his phone, took his car keys, and stepped out of the apartment.
Since his Mercedes-Benz was still parked at the Huayun Center, he had to go and retrieve it.
He hailed a taxi on the roadside. The morning rush hour traffic was especially congested, but eventually, he arrived successfully.
After getting off at his destination, he walked down the sidewalk towards the underground parking lot.
Passing by Building B, Tang Song instinctively glanced upstairs.
