Chapter 33 The Family Collects Recyclables
As for why she came to Lin Yu for a blind date, it was purely because she thought blind dates were fun. She found the unattractive men her father introduced her to boring, so she commissioned a matchmaking agency to introduce her to blind dates herself.
She wanted to see what kind of weirdos were out there, so she thought of Lin Yu, but unexpectedly, Lin Yu turned out to be quite normal.
Lin Yu's character and personality were exactly her ideal type. She didn't care whether he was rich or not; what she wanted was a man she could control.
Lin Yu seems easy to control.
"Lin Yu and I have already broken up, so there's no need for us to say hello, right?" Qiao Xing politely returned a smile.
"Isn't there a saying that you can still be friends after breaking up?" Fang Ya turned to look at Qin Ce, and said with feigned surprise, "Oh, is this your boyfriend? Sorry, I didn't notice."
Qin Ce sat calmly in his chair and watched her performance.
Qiao Xing didn't want to pay attention to her either. Fang Ya was ignored by the two of them and suddenly got a little angry, feeling like a clown jumping around like that.
Fang Ya then said, "Handsome guy, what do you do for a living? I heard that Lin Yu's ex-girlfriend dumped him for money, so you must be quite wealthy, right?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Qin Ce suddenly asked.
Fang Ya choked for a moment, her anger rising even higher.
Lin Yu came over and advised her, "Forget it, let's go."
"Why are you leaving? You're the victim, what's there to be afraid of? You don't still have feelings for her, do you?"
Lin Yu felt very guilty, but he still pretended to be hurt and said, "Let's not talk about this."
This ignited Fang Ya's competitive spirit. Lin Yu's performance made her feel that Lin Yu still cared about Qiao Xing.
Suddenly, she wanted to win this man over.
Qiao Xing couldn't listen anymore. She stood up, her gaze shifting between the two of them, and said to Fang Ya:
“Miss, Lin Yu and I have already broken up, and I am now married. You don’t need to target me here. If you really like him, I wish you a long and happy marriage.”
"Married?" Fang Ya was a little surprised, but then she thought about it and realized that Lin Yu was right. This woman was indeed fickle and married someone else so quickly.
"Yes, we're married, so can you leave now?"
"You..." Fang Ya gritted her teeth in anger. She had been pampered since childhood and no one had ever dared to treat her like this or even drive her away.
She was about to say something more when two men suddenly entered through the door and walked towards them.
"Damn it... Old Qin!" One of the men in casual clothes walked over and slapped Qin Ce on the shoulder. "You really did come here to eat. I knew you'd lend me your food... Ouch, that hurts!"
Before the man could finish speaking, Qin Ce grabbed his wrist with such force that it nearly snapped his wrist, causing him to scream in pain. He didn't even get to finish his sentence.
Qin Ce released him, and the man, clutching his wrist, glared at Qin Ce in pain. "What are you doing! Are you crazy?!"
"Is he your friend?" Qiao Xing asked tentatively, as the two seemed to have a good relationship.
Qin Ce nodded: "Yes, his name is Yang Han, his family collects scrap."
Yang Han: ? ?
When did his family become a junk collector's family?
At this moment, Fang Ya suddenly laughed, a laugh that contained a hint of contempt and mockery, as if to say that birds of a feather flock together.
"Who are you? What are you laughing at?" Yang Han glanced at Fang Ya, not quite understanding why she was laughing so sarcastically.
"It's okay, you guys chat." Fang Ya waved her hand, as if she disliked the unclean air around her.
The ragpickers reek of stench from their very bones.
"Lin Yu, let's go."
Fang Ya took Lin Yu's arm and walked away without looking back.
Yang Han looked completely bewildered. He watched the two walk away, then turned back to Qin Ce and asked, "Who were those two? Weren't they your friends? Why were they acting so strangely?"
Qiao Xing explained, "We are not friends with her."
"Oh, so that's the enemy?"
"Not really, that was me..." Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce, whose face was expressionless, before she said, "He was my ex-boyfriend."
“Oh, ex-boyfriend.” Yang Han nodded seriously, then quickly realized something. He widened his eyes, looked at Qiao Xing, and then at Qin Ce.
He finally discovered something that shocked him two hundred years ago: Holy crap, Lao Qin went out to dinner with a girl!
Yang Han plopped down next to Qin Ce. "Old Qin, aren't you going to introduce him?"
Qin Ce looked somewhat impatient. "Her name is Qiao Xing."
"Anything else?"
"What else?" Qin Ce asked in return.
Yang Han's gaze swept between the two of them, a mischievous grin on his face: "What's your relationship?"
"What's it to you?" Qin Ce frowned. "Get out of here!"
"Hehe, I'm not leaving. I came here to eat, you have no right to kick me out."
Qiao Xing listened to their conversation and glanced at Qin Ce. It seemed he didn't want his friends to know he was married.
Yang Han was quite impolite. He said to Qiao Xing, "Beautiful lady, would you mind if I ate with you?"
"Huh?" Qiao Xing was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Qin Ce.
Before the two could speak, Yang Han waved to the waiter to bring bowls and chopsticks.
He even picked up his chopsticks without any politeness and started eating by himself, saying, "This tofu is really good, delicious. You guys eat it, what are you standing there for?"
Qin Ce stared at him coldly, while Yang Han acted as if he were the host.
Qin Ce sighed and said to Qiao Xing, "Eat quickly."
Qiao Xing nodded and silently picked up her chopsticks to continue eating.
Yang Han was very enthusiastic when he met Qin Ce. After eating a few bites, he started chatting with Qin Ce.
"Old Qin, you've been back for so long, why haven't you looked for me? What have you been busy with?"
Qin Ce coughed, pressing his fist to his lips, and said in a low voice, "Looking for a job."
Yang Han's smile froze for a moment. "Huh?"
He wondered if he had misheard. Was he saying that Qin Ce was looking for a job?
Yang Han is a shrewd person. From Qin Ce's previous request to borrow his membership, his claim that he was a junk collector, and now his talk of looking for a job, it's not hard to guess this guy's true intentions.
Therefore, Yang Han couldn't help but glance at Qiao Xing a few more times.
Noticing his gaze, Qiao Xing looked up and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Yang Han laughed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little too full."
"You haven't eaten much."
"We still have to go collect scrap later, it's not good to work if we eat too much." Yang Han said this while making a face at Qin Ce.
"Do you usually work very hard?"
Yang Han waved his hand, forcing a smile, and said, "Of course, we're not educated, unlike Qin Ce who's a returnee from overseas. We can only do manual labor to make a living."
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "All work is for making money. There is no distinction between high and low. In fact, no matter what you do, it is hard work."
"Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is so considerate."
The word "sister-in-law" made Qiao Xing blush, and she quickly changed the subject, "So how did you two meet?"
