Chapter 1356 Unrequited Love 10
Xu Yanzhen had already opened her suitcase and started packing: "Let's leave now, we'll go back to look at apartments tomorrow. Teacher Tan, you're my god!"
"I never imagined that someone would give me a house one day, I'm so happy!"
She is a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament and even a touch of melancholy, but once you get to know her, you will find that her personality has a contrasting side. Deep down, she has a very playful side and is very humorous.
Tan You chatted with her quietly. She quite liked Xu Yanzhen's personality. She never brought her bad mood to others and always processed her negative emotions on her own.
She was much more mature than the clients she had encountered. Many clients, because of their closer relationship with her, would vent all their negative emotions on her.
Although Tan You can process things, ultimately, who doesn't like someone who can process their own emotions?
Xu Yanzhen is decisive, and Tan You is also efficient. When the two met, Xu Yanzhen acquired a 200-square-meter apartment in less than two days.
"I've bought a house, so I need to tell Meng Qingtong and have a farewell dinner together. Then I'll need to find a moving company."
Tan You: "Are you going to tell her that the house was bought with cash?"
Xu Yanzhen shook her head: "Forget it, it's hard to explain. I'll just say there's a loan. Meng Qingtong, she's not a bad person on the surface, but she's a bit petty and can't stand seeing others doing better than her."
Tan You asked curiously, "So you knew she wasn't that great, yet you still stayed with her for so many years?"
"She later interfered in your relationship with Shi Cheng."
A hint of sadness flashed across Xu Yanzhen's eyes, then she smiled and said, "I know, but in the end, she was the one who got together with Shi Cheng first. Shi Cheng proposed to me back then because he was angry with her and made the decision in the heat of the moment."
"They were already in love, so it was I who really interfered."
Tan You shook her head: "They've already broken up. Shi Cheng proposed to you, and you've registered your marriage. Legally speaking, you're not at fault. They're the ones who are."
"How come you always run into crazy couples?"
"Shi Cheng and his friends each have their own eccentricities."
Xu Yanzhen couldn't help but chuckle: "Teacher Tan, you have a good eye for criticism. Looking back now, they really were... crazy."
"To be honest, I never blame Meng Qingtong for Shi Cheng's infidelity. There's no need, because Shi Cheng is not the kind of person who would stay for anyone."
"Having seen through his true nature, why take it out on others?"
Seeing Xu Yanzhen driving this car that's almost ten years old, Tan You said critically, "In two months, I'll get you a new car."
“Okay,” Xu Yanzhen said without hesitation. “Teacher Tan is spending money on me because she cares about me. I won’t be ungrateful.”
Tan You liked Xu Yanzhen's generosity; she accepted what she offered without any affectation.
"You've become much more relaxed compared to before. How awkward were you when you were with Jin He?"
When Jin He was mentioned, a hint of sadness crossed Xu Yanzhen's eyes: "He is indeed a very good lover and a good guide. If he were more steadfast and more devoted, he would be a perfect partner."
"It's a pity that these only exist in fairy tales."
"Once his white moonlight came back, he couldn't care about anything else."
Tan You: "Fairy tales usually end with the prince and princess living happily ever after, which means that the beauty of fairy tales ends at that moment, and the rest is not worth telling."
Xu Yanzhen smiled, revealing her dimples: "Teacher Tan, your perspective on this matter is truly unique." After parking and turning off the engine, Xu Yanzhen carried the gift into Meng Qingtong's house. Meng Qingtong had just woken up from a nap and was sitting in front of the mirror putting on makeup, preparing for her date that evening.
"You're back?" She glanced at Xu Yanzhen casually, then put down the brush in surprise and stared at Xu Yanzhen carefully: "Where have you been for the past month? You look so good!"
As she spoke, she even pinched Xu Yanzhen's face and ran her fingers over her features, as if she wanted to know which hospital Xu Yanzhen had undergone minor cosmetic surgery at, since the level of expertise was too high.
Xu Yanzhen let her touch her: "It's all original, it's just that I ate and slept well this month, and my condition naturally improved."
Meng Qingtong touched it all over, but didn't find anything high-tech, so she withdrew her hand with regret. She sat down in front of the makeup mirror again: "Looks like I need to adjust my schedule too. You're so tender, it's like you could squeeze water out of you."
Xu Yanzhen picked up the oranges she had bought on the way: "Can you adjust?"
Meng Qingtong sighed, "It's difficult, but if the results are outstanding, I should be able to do it."
"By the way, you said on the phone that you had something to tell me. What is it?"
Xu Yanzhen took out the property certificate from her bag: "I bought a house, and I plan to move out in the next couple of days."
Meng Qingtong flipped through the property certificate. "Such a big house? You've struck it rich? Paid in full?"
Xu Yanzhen peeled an orange with her head down, making it impossible to see her expression: "I've made some money from investing over the past few years, but how could I afford to buy it outright? My job is relatively stable, so I took out a loan."
The jealousy in Meng Qingtong's eyes gradually faded. If Xu Yanzhen had bought the house outright, she would have been green with envy.
"Okay, you can move it. Just leave the key on the table when you get back. We rarely run into each other, I'll see it when I get back."
Xu Yanzhen smiled and said, "Okay, it's just some clothes and shoes. I'll get the rest later."
Meng Qingtong sighed: "Now that you've moved out, I'll have to find someone to share the rent and split the mortgage. I don't know if the other person will be as easy to manage as you."
Xu Yanzhen remained noncommittal. She herself was indeed worry-free, and as for Meng Qingtong's future life, that was none of her business.
Before the start of the school year, Xu Yanzhen moved into her new home. To celebrate her housewarming, she sent invitations to all her friends, inviting them to a small gathering at her home.
Even Han Yu, who works part-time at a fried chicken shop, was no exception; he also received an invitation from Xu Yanzhen.
Early Saturday morning, people started arriving at Xu Yanzhen's house. As Xu Yanzhen's student, Han Yu was busy serving guests, getting them slippers, pouring water, and cutting fruit—the proper demeanor of Xu Yanzhen's top disciple.
Jin He came with Shi Cheng and Shi Yuexin. After entering, Shi Yuexin whistled when she saw Han Yu, and then went up to Xu Yanzhen and asked, "Unnie, who is he?"
“He’s my student. He doesn’t have a part-time job today, so I asked him to come and help out.” Xu Yanzhen introduced Shi Yuexin: “Han Yu, this is Shi Yuexin, she used to be my student too.”
Shi Yuexin deliberately put on a stern face: "I'm your senior, your junior, good luck."
Han Yu chuckled to himself, glancing at the burly Shi Cheng and then at the petite Shi Yuexin, and thought to himself how amazing genes were. These two were actually siblings.
Right? Why is Kim Hyuk here? Just as Kim Hyuk left a deep impression on Han Yu, Han Yu couldn't forget Kim Hyuk either. Although this guy is old, he's really ruthless; he almost knocked out Han Yu's teeth back then.
They're all middle-aged men, yet they still have such bad tempers. Han Yu shook his head and went to the kitchen to brew a pot of bitter melon tea.
Bitter melon has cooling and detoxifying properties, making it perfect for someone like Kim Hyuk, who is known for his peacock-like appearance.
