Chapter 1351 Unrequited Love 5
Although Xu Yanzhen agreed with Tan You's assessment of Jin He and Shi Cheng, she also wanted to know what kind of people Yu Ning and Chu Qian were in Tan You's eyes.
Tan You snapped her fingers, and a light screen immediately appeared in front of Xu Yanzhen, showing a photo of Yu Ning chatting happily with a beautiful woman in a coffee shop. The light screen quickly switched, and the photo on the screen transformed into that of another beautiful woman.
The other protagonist is Yu Ning.
"Yu Ning was the first of the four to get married, but in the eighteen years of marriage, Yu Ning cheated on his wife about once every three months. Over the years, how many times has Yu Ning cheated on his wife in total?"
"And as Yu Ning's friends, Jin He, Shi Cheng, and Chu Qian all helped Yu Ning keep it a secret from Ji Yingqiu. Why?"
Xu Yanzhen muttered to herself, "Because Ji Yingqiu is rich, Shi Cheng's construction company has to contract business from Ji Yingqiu's company, and Jin He also relies on Ji Yingqiu for his livelihood. And Chu Qian..."
"The law firm where Chu Qian works rents office space in Ji Yingqiu's office building."
"In order to protect their own interests, they will naturally try every means to help Yu Ning. Once Yu Ning and Ji Yingqiu divorce, their lives will be greatly disrupted."
Tan You: "So, from a man's perspective, they are undoubtedly righteous. But from Ji Yingqiu's perspective, doesn't it seem pathetic? She provides them with convenience, and yet they all keep it from her?"
Xu Yanzhen shuddered: "That's terrifying."
Tan You concluded, "So all four of them are rotten in their own way. If we have to find treasure in the trash can, Chu Qian is probably the only one who's not so bad. At least he's faithful to his marriage, and even after so many years since his wife's death, he still thinks about her."
"Although he was also fond of women, it was a kind of romanticism that was not vulgar."
"But why should we look for men in the trash can? Of the four of them, Chu Qian is standing on the ruins, while Jin He, Shi Cheng, and Yu Ning have all fallen vertically to the bottom of the pit and can't even climb out."
Xu Yanzhen wiped away the tears of laughter: "Teacher Tan, you are really funny."
"You're right, why should I look for a man in the trash?"
"Since we've already broken up, it means we're not compatible, so there's no need for us to cross paths again. After tonight's dinner, we won't see each other again."
She beckoned to the waiter: "Hello, I'd like a small cake to go, this one. And two cups of coffee, I'll take them with me."
The waiter went about his business, while Xu Yanzhen quietly waited for the shop to pack her cakes. She was packing small cakes because she had received a request from Shi Yuexin.
Shi Yuexin has always secretly loved Chu Qian, even though she is 20 years younger than him. Even though Chu Qian has been married before, and even though he is Shi Cheng's good friend, Shi Yuexin still secretly loves Chu Qian.
It couldn't even be called a secret crush; it was an open crush, because everyone knew she liked Chu Qian.
To separate Shi Yuexin from Chu Qian, Shi Cheng sent Shi Yuexin to university in a neighboring city. If Shi Yuexin hadn't threatened to kill herself, Shi Cheng would have originally intended to send her abroad.
Even when she went to the neighboring city, Shi Yuexin would always ask Xu Yanzhen to send Chu Qian various gifts every year, regardless of the holiday. For example, today is Christmas, and Shi Yuexin specially asked Xu Yanzhen to send a cake with Christmas elements.
A little girl's thoughts are always so straightforward that they are almost childlike.
Xu Yanzhen rested her chin on her hand and glanced at Tan You unintentionally, only to find Tan You staring intently at her face. Xu Yanzhen asked curiously, "Teacher Tan, what are you looking at?"
Tan You carefully scanned Xu Yanzhen's facial features: "You are 36 years old this year. Your skin is very good, clear and smooth. However, as you get older, your collagen will gradually be lost. Although your bone structure is good, it is still a bit flat."
"You are a typical beauty with an air of melancholy. Your features are not particularly striking overall, but they are well-combined, giving people a sense of sadness at first glance."
“When she was young, she looked a bit mature, too mature. But as she got older, she gained a lot of stories and became very mysterious.” Xu Yanzhen also looked at Tan You: “Teacher Tan, your analysis is comparable to that of the most professional plastic surgeon.”
She also looked Tan You up and down carefully before finally smiling and saying, "If Teacher Tan lost weight, she would be an absolute beauty."
Tan You's eyes held a strange look: "Now there's a chance to become a great beauty, do you want it?"
Xu Yanzhen was somewhat wary: "I will absolutely not get plastic surgery, not even minor procedures."
She touched her face as she spoke: "Everyone gets old, and I accept this natural aging process. There are many side effects from cosmetic surgery, but I quite like how I look now."
Tan You: "It's not plastic surgery. I can increase your beauty score without any side effects. Your current beauty score is 82, and I can increase it to the maximum."
"It's not about changing your appearance, but about optimizing your facial features and subtly adjusting them to best suit your bone structure."
To gain Xu Yanzhen's trust, Tan You even showed her a preview image, which was what she would look like with her beauty rating maxed out.
Xu Yanzhen was irresistibly tempted. She wasn't opposed to aging, but if there was such a procedure with no side effects, she wouldn't refuse it. After all, who doesn't love beauty?
She was just an ordinary person.
Xu Yanzhen was somewhat conflicted: "Won't such a drastic change attract attention?"
Tan You tempted her, just like the beauty system had tempted her before: "We can add it slowly. I'll add it to 90 first, and then add it more slowly after you start school."
"This way, you're changing step by step right under everyone's nose, and people are more likely to accept it."
Xu Yanzhen immediately agreed: "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Tan. I also want to experience what it's like to be a great beauty."
Tan You added 8 points to her beauty rating: "You are actually very beautiful, with a slender figure and distinctive features. Most importantly, you have a calm, melancholic, and scholarly air about you."
Just then, the waiter brought over the cake and coffee that Xu Yanzhen had brought from outside.
Xu Yanzhen looked up and thanked her, "Thank you."
The waiter's hand trembled slightly, and after making eye contact with Xu Yanzhen, his face flushed slightly. He said in a daze, "You're welcome."
Was that customer just now really that beautiful? How come he doesn't remember her?
Xu Yanzhen looked at the waiter who was moving his hands and feet awkwardly and couldn't help but laugh: "Teacher Tan, is it really that exaggerated that your beauty score is only 8 points?"
Tan You commented, "90 points already puts her in the category of a great beauty."
Xu Yanzhen patted her face: "I have to go see it with my own eyes. I'll go to the restroom to touch up my makeup."
In the bathroom, Xu Yanzhen stared at herself in the mirror, not wanting to blink. She pinched her cheeks, and her previously loose face seemed to have suddenly become firm and full.
Xu Yanzhen, not believing it, pinched it and immediately frowned, saying, "It hurts."
"Is it true?"
She touched her eyebrows, then her eyes, nose, and lips, finally confirming that the flawless face before her was indeed herself.
