Yan Qingxue's act of turning around and leaving stunned Qiao Zhishu; the difference in her attitude before and after was obvious.
It's not that he doesn't want to say hello anymore, it's that the other person simply doesn't want to talk to him at all.
Qiao Zhishu, who had originally intended to give a perfunctory greeting, now felt a thorn in her side and was somewhat awkward.
Yang was also a little confused. What did this mean?
Could it be to avoid suspicion? Yang's gaze involuntarily drifted to Bai Naijiong on the table to the side.
Is it because of that kid?
It's definitely because of that kid!
Madam Yang glared fiercely at Qiao Zhishu. Now look what happened! He made a mess of things. What was he doing? Now he's ruined everyone's relationship. They've moved on to someone else and are eyeing that young master now.
They ruined a perfectly good marriage.
When someone was offering themselves to you, you didn't treat them well; now it's too late to say anything.
Yang felt so much regret for Qiao Zhishu.
With two cans of beer and a large can of lemonade in hand, Yan Qingxue returned without looking to either side. This time, she ignored the three Yangs and went straight to Bai Naijiong. She placed a can of beer in front of Bai Naijiong, opened the lemonade, and poured him a glass.
"This lemonade tastes good. You should try it. It's sweet and sour and very refreshing. Lemonade is best enjoyed when it's ice-cold."
"Especially after eating something greasy, I really want to have another sip," Yan Qingxue laughed heartily.
Bai Naijiong chuckled and chatted with Yan Qingxue in a gentle manner, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the table.
Yang was eating absentmindedly, watching the whole thing closely. Seeing the two chatting and laughing, seemingly on friendly terms, she grew anxious.
What to do? Her son's marriage to this girl seems to be on the verge of happening.
This girl clearly cares a lot about her son, and her son seems to have some feelings for her too. He wants to succeed in both of them, so won't they break up and it's really over?
At this moment, Yang was filled with mixed feelings, feeling conflicted, anxious, flustered, and helpless. She wanted to leave the table to discuss things with Anle, but she also wanted to stay here and keep an eye on the activities at the other table.
The last meal was eaten in a state of unease. Zhong Ling suggested that she wanted to walk around a bit, so Yang had no choice but to leave with her. Before leaving, she kept looking back at Yan Qingxue's table.
Qiao Zhishu showed no reaction from beginning to end, appearing to be in the same state as usual.
Qiao Zhishu couldn't quite put her finger on the awkward feeling in her heart.
Originally, it was always Yan Qingxue who was chasing after him and acting crazy. Before, he thought she was crazy and seemed to be mentally unstable.
He used to avoid her like the plague, but now that she's suddenly acting normal, he feels a bit uncomfortable, as if something just doesn't feel right.
The awkward feeling in my heart was impossible to ignore and lingered.
This made him feel somewhat irritable and depressed.
What's wrong with me? Lately, Yan Qingxue hasn't been around him, and he keeps thinking about her.
With Yan Qingxue on his mind, he was somewhat absent-minded while shopping with Zhong Ling.
Zhong Ling seemed to sense Qiao Zhishu's perfunctory attitude, and her heart sank. She had finally met a man she liked at the relatively late age of twenty-two. This man appreciated her, understood her, and knew her.
She didn't want to let go of this man.
This man has a gentle temperament. Although he sometimes seems a bit dull, you feel very at ease when you are with him.
Most importantly, this man is rich, which allows her to go further and longer in her art.
If she married into an ordinary farming family, who would allow her to squander money in this area? Writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones all cost money.
In an ordinary farming family, even having enough to eat and drink can be a problem, let alone having extra money to buy brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for her to paint. That is obviously impossible.
Therefore, she never chose to marry into an ordinary farming family, not because she looked down on ordinary farmers, but because she did not want to give up her talent for painting.
This is the only thing she feels can support her and make her proud.
In fact, she had other options, such as marrying into a wealthy family as a concubine. With her looks and talents, she could have married into a wealthy family as a concubine, but she was proud by nature and would never have been a concubine.
But just when she was almost in despair, planning to give up painting and marry an ordinary farmer, this man appeared, and he was the lifeline she could grasp.
She would never let go of this man. He could accompany her shopping in Jincheng, take her to eat Jincheng's delicacies, stroll through Jincheng's streets, and buy her Jincheng's gifts. This was enough to show that he was wealthy.
Even if this man says he has no house or land.
But as long as you have money, it's not hard to get a house or land.
The chicken I ate at that hot pot chicken restaurant just now was enough to buy several acres of land.
The pastries and desserts I took her to eat when we first met were so expensive that they could buy half an acre of land.
Even the gifts she was given to take home were very expensive. You don't need to look at the price of the gifts; just tasting them is enough to tell you.
Her life took a turn for the better, a blessing from heaven. The gods heard her cries for help and sent this man to her side to save her.
She absolutely did not want this man to be taken away by another woman.
That girl always seemed absent-minded and distracted ever since she met Young Master Qiao.
It's obvious that Young Master Qiao cares a lot about that girl.
Although the girl seemed quite indifferent to Young Master Qiao and didn't treat him any special way.
However, one must be wary of any woman who appears around Young Master Qiao.
The best way to keep Young Master Qiao is to quickly get engaged to him and marry him, thus avoiding any unforeseen complications.
It's just that since Young Master Qiao and the others didn't bring it up, she, as a young woman, was too embarrassed to speak first, lest it seem like she was desperate to get married. Although she was not young, she hadn't reached the point where she couldn't get married.
She would never do something that would damage her reputation and also affect Young Master Qiao's impression of her.
But if she doesn't speak up, and Young Master Qiao keeps stalling, then it will just drag on forever.
Zhong Ling was secretly getting anxious. What could be done to arrange her marriage with Young Master Qiao without her taking the initiative?
Walking down the street, Yang, Qiao Zhishu, and Zhong Ling each had their own thoughts.
