Chapter 1265: Chapter 477: The Beautician’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class (Part 2)

Tang Song took a bite of the braised pork bun and picked up a piece of pickled vegetable, putting it into his mouth.

The crispy and refreshing radish strips were very delicious, and he couldn’t help but take another bite with his chopsticks.

Feeling the texture and flavor, Tang Song’s eyebrows raised slightly.

The taste of this pickled vegetable is so similar to the ones Lele made.

During the days at the normal university teacher’s apartment, he could eat Qian Lele’s homemade pickled radish almost every day, leaving a deep impression on him.

“Qianqian, where did you buy these radish strips?”

Hearing his words, Zhao Yaqian said in a low voice, “A friend gave them to me.”

“Oh? A friend gave them to you?”

“Yes. She is a high school classmate of a friend of mine, someone I met at a cafe, named Qian Lele.”

“Uh…” Tang Song’s mouth slightly opened, a look of surprise on his face.

He never expected that Zhao Yaqian would be friends with Qian Lele.

Zhao Yaqian paused, then softly added, “Last weekend, when I was walking with Xue, we saw her standing at the East Gate of YJTC, saying she was out for a stroll. We happened to bump into each other, so she gave me the pickled vegetables she was carrying.”

After hearing her words, Tang Song’s lips pressed tightly together.

Knowing Qian Lele as he did, he could easily piece together the truth.

This girl surely wanted to see him, but felt shy, so she made pickles to give to him, but couldn’t bring herself to disturb him at the last moment.

And this was only one of the times Zhao Yaqian ran into her; she may have been there before.

The taste of radish pickles lingered on his tongue.

Thinking of the simple, strong, shy, and sensitive pure-hearted college girl, a wave of indescribable emotion welled up in Tang Song’s heart.

Zhao Yaqian didn’t say anything more, just quietly ate breakfast.

…

At 11:00 in the morning.

“Ding-dong——” The phone vibrated.

While watching a TV show, Zhao Yaqian picked up her phone and checked it.

[Auntie: “Qianqian, are you going back to De City for the Mid-Autumn Festival?”]

Zhao Yaqian pressed her lips together and replied, “I’m still not sure yet, I’ll see how things go.”

[Auntie: “Oh, okay, if you do come back, we can travel together.”]

Having a brief chat with her aunt.

Zhao Yaqian hesitated for a moment, then transferred 50,000 yuan via WeChat.

The message read, “Auntie, my mom borrowed 100,000 yuan from you before, still owe you 50,000 yuan. I have some money now, so I can finally pay it off.”

Over the past few months, she’d helped her family pay off some debts, the largest portion being her aunt’s.

“Buzz Buzz Buzz——”

[Auntie: “Oh dear! You’re such a good child, I didn’t mean to pressure you, it’s fine to pay it back slowly, after all Congcong will only start university next year.”]

Zhao Yaqian persuaded her for a bit, and Yu Wenxia eventually accepted the transfer.

Exiting WeChat, Zhao Yaqian opened the China Merchants Bank App and checked her current total assets.

[3.42 million yuan]

In three days, she would receive another 1.17 million yuan in trust earnings.

Putting down the phone, Zhao Yaqian rested her chin on her knee, a faintly thoughtful light flashing in her eyes.

She had never imagined that she would one day be this wealthy.

Of course, after the initial excitement, sleepless nights, she had now adapted to it.

Now she had her own business and was gradually growing.

She also gained a new understanding of family and wealth.

As Xue said, sometimes showing off your wealth and background appropriately is not a bad thing.

After all, it’s not possible to keep it a secret all her life.

She didn’t dare let others know before because her knowledge and abilities were limited, and her nature was particularly simple-minded, making it easy to make mistakes with so much wealth.

No one knows how much time passed.

A sudden, urgent ringtone snapped her back to reality.

It was her high school classmate Li Yuanyuan.

Answering the call, she heard the familiar voice through the receiver, “Hey? Qianqian, are you busy now?”

“Not busy, what’s up, Yuanyuan?”

“It’s almost noon, how about we go out for a meal? I know a newly opened western restaurant that’s really great, and they have your favorite steak!”

“Eh? It’s Wednesday, aren’t you working?”

“Ah, I took a day off. I just wanted to catch up with you and vent about work, it’s driving me crazy!”

Zhao Yaqian checked the time, nodded, and said, “Okay, send me the location, I’ll head over now.”

“Mm-hmm, bye-bye.”

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Yaqian started to tidy up.

She applied makeup, changed into casual wear, and grabbed her bag before heading downstairs.

…

The Beayce Western Restaurant was located in the downtown area, only 3 kilometers from YJHT.

The black Didi car stopped by the roadside.

Zhao Yaqian got out from the back seat and walked ahead with a light stride.

After just a few steps, she saw Li Yuanyuan sitting at an outdoor table.

Zhao Yaqian waved and loudly called out, “Yuanyuan!”

Looking up from her phone, Li Yuanyuan showed a surprised expression, “Qianqian?”

Having not seen her for a while, she felt that this high school classmate seemed a bit different.

Once seated at the dining chair, Zhao Yaqian smiled, teasing, “Hey, why do you keep staring at me? Could it be that the beauty of Beauty Zhao has enchanted you?”

Saying this, she playfully flicked her burgundy wavy long hair, her actions natural and lively.

The familiar appellation and small gestures instantly bridged the distance between them, allowing Li Yuanyuan to quickly regain her composure.

“Wow, Qianqian! You look like a big star now, and your figure has improved too, you’re truly stunning!” Li Yuanyuan genuinely complimented.

“Haha, I’ve been practicing dance recently, and it’s been quite effective.” Zhao Yaqian explained with a small sense of pride in her tone.
