Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Making Jia Qing lose all human form
"Master Liu, you guys are here working so early! That must be tough." It was a cool morning and Tong Yao’s mood was boosted, she greeted the two men cheerfully.
"The morning coolness makes work faster. How come you’re here this early today?" Liu Yu was flashed by Tong Yao’s sweet smile, which improved his mood as well.
Just think, who wouldn’t be happy to see a beautiful woman smiling at them first thing in the morning? 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Most clients put on a blank face acting all high and mighty, while they hardly understand renovation, they still point fingers here and there, nitpicking everything. On the contrary, people like Tong Yao greet them with a smile and not only do they mind their own business, they even send lunch over, and her brother even helps out. Such occurrences are rare.
So, even if Tong Yao didn’t supervise, they would still do a good job.
They also have a conscience, if someone treats them well, they will reciprocate.
"The Business Bureau might come for an inspection, I don’t know when they will come, so I came early to wait." Tong Yao replied Liu Yu with a smile and casually added, "You guys didn’t have breakfast yet, right? I haven’t eaten too, let me go buy breakfast."
With that, Tong Yao turned and walked away. Liu Yu wanted to stop her, but she had already gone. He thought, such a nice girl is indeed rare. It is a pity she is already married, otherwise she would be perfect with Si Jun, a match made in heaven.
Tong Yao walked for more than ten minutes to a breakfast shop and ordered twenty meat buns, twenty fried dough sticks, and five cups of soy milk, surprising the others in line purchasing breakfast.
"Young lady, how many people in your family? Buying so much breakfast."
Tong Yao crisply replied: "My brothers eat a lot."
When they heard the phrase ’my brothers’, everyone suddenly understood. Now, men in their twenties can eat quite a lot, some people could eat six or seven steamed buns in one meal. They lack protein in their diet, resulting in a larger appetite.
Back at the shop, Tong Yao placed the breakfast on the newly installed countertop and said to Liu Yu, "Master Liu, come to eat buns and fried dough sticks, they are soft and fresh out of the pan."
"Alright!"
Liu Yu agreed, called over his cousin and walked over, they wiped their hands on their clothes and took a bite of the bun, they were all meat-filled and tasted very good, Liu Yu ate three in one go.
"You guys just eat, don’t be shy." Fearing they would feel embarrassed to eat too much, Tong Yao couldn’t help but add more words.
The Liu brothers nodded, knowing Tong Yao wasn’t a stingy person, and they didn’t hold back. They figured finishing their work earlier and helping Tong Yao open her shop earlier was a way to recompense her good intentions.
An extra day open for business meant an extra day’s income. A shop outside the school gate could afford dozens of breakfasts like this with one day’s revenue.
"Yaoyao." An oddly familiar voice suddenly came from behind. The sweetness in the person’s tone made Tong Yao’s skin crawl.
Turning around to see who it was, Tong Yao’s face sank instantly. It was truly revolting. Tong Yao had long guessed that Jia Qing would come looking for her, but she had never imagined that he would find her here.
Jia Qing was dressed in a classy black suit that didn’t fit his personality at all. It was so long it almost touched his shoes. It was simply like a pig wearing a phoenix feather, Tong Yao wanted to step forward and give him two swift punches.
Her eyes widened, "How did you find this place?"
Jia Qing was taken aback by Tong Yao’s tone of disgust. The last time they met, they had agreed to elope together. It had only been more than a month since they last saw each other. Why was she acting like a bitter enemy when they saw each other again?
Could it be that she hates him for running away and not coming back to find her?
Most likely that was it. In TV dramas, hatred born out of love was always the case. He hadn’t expected that Tong Yao might not seem interested in him, she had him in her heart all along. Jia Qing’s heart felt full of contentment as he stepped closer to Tong Yao, attempting to reach out and touch her, but was dodged by Tong Yao. His expression stiffened and then he started to lure her in a nauseating tone.
"Okay, okay, Yaoyao, stop being angry. I know, it was my fault that I didn’t rush into your house and take you away last time. But I didn’t want to cause you any trouble, did I? As soon as I found out you were here, I came to see you instantly."
"Did a donkey kick your head?" She was already disgusted with Jia Qing. Hearing him saying these words, Tong Yao almost spat out the buns she had just eaten. "You better get out of here now, stop making people nauseous."
Liu Yu and his cousin glanced at each other. They didn’t know what was going on and dared not interfere, so they buried their heads and kept working.
If Tong Yao didn’t know this person, they certainly wouldn’t have stood by. But the two seemed familiar, judging by the intimacy in the man’s speech, he must be very familiar with Tong Yao. They didn’t interfere as they did not know the circumstance.
"Yaoyao, I have apologized, that’s enough!" Jia Qing gave a glance to the Liu brothers, feeling Tong Yao was kind of excessive to talk like this in front of outsiders, completely disregarding his face. Even if she was angry, she should have some restraint.
"Try calling me Yaoyao again?" Tong Yao’s eyes were round with anger. If looks could kill, Jia Qing would have been full of holes by now.
To Tong Yao, Jia Qing was as disgusting as finding a mouse in her bowl while eating, she didn’t want to look at him, nor did she want to say another word to him.
"Tong Yao, what do you mean?" Seeing no trace of affection in Tong Yao’s eyes, but full of disgust instead, Jia Qing sensed something awry, his smile faded, "are you looking down at me because you have a shop in the city, you think you are capable, and want to abandon me?"
There was actually no relationship between the two, but with Jia Qing saying this, outsiders would think that they had an affair. Even Liu Yu couldn’t help but take a few more looks at them.
To be honest, if you said Tong Yao and Jia Qing were having an affair, he wouldn’t really believe it. Tong Yao was beautiful and smart, and judging from her outfits, she had a good family background. In contrast, Jia Qing looked sleazy and could never match up to Tong Yao. He was completely the type of person who could not change his low-class demeanor no matter how elegantly he was dressed, a very vulgar person, definitely not an upright, hardworking person.
To put it bluntly, even if Tong Yao really had something to do with Jia Qing, it must be because she was forced to, not voluntarily.
Tong Yao scoffed, her tone full of disgust, she taunted, "Jia Qing, I advise you to clean your mouth before you speak. You are such a person, even if you fall into the water, you would be polluting the water source. Looking at you makes me lose my appetite, do you think I would be interested in you? Go home, look at yourself in the mirror, know your place and stop being shameless."
Tong Yao had no mercy for Jia Qing at all, making fun of him from head to toe.
For someone like Jia Qing, if she spoke to him in a more gentle way, he would think she was flirting with him, and would shamelessly pester her. The fact he pursued a married woman already show he was not a good person, anyone with a little bit of bottom line wouldn’t do such a thing.
