Chapter 513 A Refined Young Lady from the Republican Era Gets the Male and Female Protagonists Killed (15)
Zhang Jiqing came with Zhang Jisheng and Zhao Hanying.
Zhao Hanying is a high-achieving student who returned from studying abroad. She applied for a library card at this library as soon as she arrived in BH City.
This time, Zhang Jiqing kept nagging from the side.
"Sister Hanying, I already promised my classmates that my sister-in-law is a high-achieving student who studied abroad and has a library card at this library. Today, I'll help them borrow a few foreign novels from the library."
"Sister-in-law, please take me to see him for my brother's sake."
Zhao Hanying, who usually doesn't meddle in other people's business, was secretly pleased to hear these words.
In the entire city of BH, the only people who can get a library card, besides the students from those two universities, are these high-achieving students who have returned from studying abroad.
Zhao Hanying nodded.
"The library is full of cultured people. I can take you in, but don't shout or make a fuss."
Zhang Jiqing readily agreed, and Zhao Hanying took out a library card from her wallet and brought the two siblings in together.
When she arrived at the door, she casually asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.
Zhang Jiqing was incredibly envious of the coffee she was holding.
It turns out that people can live so elegantly and calmly. With a cup of coffee and a book in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the ordinary people outside the library who are busy making a living, a sense of superiority arises in my heart.
Zhao Hanying also asked Zhang Jiqing a question.
Would you like some coffee?
"Coffee... I've never had it before. I've heard it's bitter, and I'm afraid I won't be used to it."
"Yeah, you really don't like it, but I have to drink a cup of coffee every day when I'm abroad, otherwise I can't muster the energy to do anything."
Zhang Jiqing looked at her with a mixture of envy and admiration.
Even though he knew she looked down on him deep down, his longing for outside things had long since made up for the awkwardness and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Since this is my first time visiting such a high-class place, I definitely want to explore it thoroughly.
Zhao Hanying was very familiar with this place. She easily carried her coffee to the window, then randomly picked up a foreign language book from the bookshelf and flipped through it while drinking her coffee.
Zhang Jisheng was utterly captivated by Zhao Hanying, who radiated intellectual charm at that moment.
He had only a superficial understanding of English, and seeing Zhao Hanying sit down to read, he also thought of finding a book that he could get into.
The brother and sister were browsing when Zhang Jisheng, who was seriously looking for books, was suddenly drawn to Zhang Jiqing's exclamation.
Following Zhang Jiqing's gaze, I looked into the corner.
"Jin Shu?"
Zhang Jiqing had already walked up to them, looking aggressive as if he was there to settle scores.
"You've finally shown up! What are you doing here?"
This is not a place for someone like Jin Shu who can't read.
Zhang Jisheng subconsciously turned around and glanced at Zhao Hanying sitting by the window.
She must have noticed this, but Zhao Hanying was still calmly sitting and drinking coffee, her attention seemingly focused entirely on her hands, completely oblivious to what was happening here.
Or perhaps she knew Jin Shu was there, but she didn't care at all, so she didn't even bother to give her a glance.
Jin Shu was reading a book at that moment.
The books on embroidery and textiles were so obscure and difficult to understand that Jin Shu had to use an English-Chinese dictionary in one hand and flip through the book with the other. She would look up anything she didn't understand on the spot, copy it down, and then go back and memorize it slowly.
Although the process was somewhat bumpy, it went quite smoothly overall.
Jin Shu has a strong learning ability, and she seems to have a sense of familiarity with this language, which she is encountering for the first time in her life. As long as she delves deeper into it, a sense of "it should be this way" wells up in her heart.
This wasn't the first time she'd noticed this feeling.
It wasn't a bad thing, so Jin Shu didn't delve too deeply into it or think about it too much.
They focused all their attention on the most important things at hand.
So when she was interrupted while studying, Jin Shu frowned and looked at Zhang Jiqing with a cold expression.
Do I need to report to you where I am?
Zhang Jiqing stared at her, then looked around and couldn't help but mock her.
"You're still holding an English book, can you even understand it?"
Jin Shu, you don't actually think that just by pretending to be cultured you can win my brother back, do you?
"I'm telling you, my brother and Sister Hanying are already engaged! Forget about it!"
Zhang Jisheng remained silent, his gaze briefly lingering on Jin Shu.
Today she wore a handmade Suzhou embroidery cheongsam. Even a layman could tell at a glance that the fabric was soft and smooth, exquisite and meticulously crafted. Every stitch seemed to have been sewn just for her, perfectly outlining the woman's slender and graceful figure.
It's not overly flamboyant, but like a lily blooming in a corner, it quietly attracts the attention of others.
Zhang Jisheng had unconsciously glanced at Jin Shu several times.
There was one thing he discovered on the day of the divorce.
Although Jin Shu was a rigid, feudal, and backward woman, he had to admit one thing: she was very beautiful.
Especially her skin, which was so white and glowing from head to toe, was flawless and perfect like a piece of jade, making her the most dazzling presence in any crowd.
When Zhang Jisheng's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Jin Shu for the third time, Jin Shu stood up.
Her tall, slender figure was graceful and graceful, and a jade pendant with a bright green color hung on her long neck, making her look dignified and noble.
"Take off your clothes before you talk to me. You're barking at my dog while wearing clothes I bought you. Is your Zhang family professional wolf breeders?"
"What nonsense are you spouting! What wolf nonsense?!"
"You ungrateful wretch, aren't you?"
"You...you're spouting nonsense!"
Zhang Jiqing's voice was quite loud, and it had already attracted a lot of attention.
Zhang Jisheng pulled her aside, telling her to keep her voice down.
"Brother, she only came here to pester you! It's a wonder you even got in; you must have gone through a lot of trouble to get a library card, right?"
Ha, my sister-in-law has her own library card! Unlike you, you have to pitifully borrow one from someone else.
Jin Shu looked down at Zhang Jiqing, unable to understand what had gotten into her before that she had been so kind to such an ingrate.
"Let's not talk about me, but I heard that one library card is only allowed for one person to enter. You guys... one, two, three, three people shamelessly came in with one library card, and you still have the nerve to yell here?"
Zhang Jiqing choked immediately.
There is indeed such a rule, but everyone here is a civilized person and few people would do it, so the library director turns a blind eye.
But after Jin Shu said that, the three of them became a little restless.
