Chapter 133 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 01
The streets are lined with low buildings made of red bricks, and some of the walls have slogans such as "Marry later and have children later, and enjoy a happy life as sweet as honey."
The road is not wide, mostly paved with cement, and occasionally there are some potholes.
The entire street is full of the breath of life, showing the unique style of the late 1990s.
A slightly plump middle-aged woman was walking down the street hand in hand with a young woman, saying as they walked, "Wang Haitao is such a piece of shit. You've been dating someone for five years, and we're about to get married, but now he's hooking up with the daughter of a leader. What's going on? Is he disgusted that our family can't match the power and influence of that leader's family?"
The young woman wore a blue shirt, straight-leg jeans, and simple flat shoes. Her ponytail swung as she walked, exuding energy. She glanced at her mother, smiled faintly, and didn't respond.
He Hongxia grew increasingly angry as she spoke. She turned to look at the young woman and said indignantly, "Let me tell you, this guy today was introduced by your third aunt's colleague. Even though he's a little older, I heard he's a coal boss, no worse than that Wang Haitao. You'd better be nice to him when you meet him later. Don't let your bad temper show, or else you'll be disliked."
The young woman nodded and murmured "hmm".
The two walked forward, and when they approached the Women's Normal School, He Hongxia waved to a short-haired woman across from them, "Xiumei, we're here. You must have been waiting for a long time!"
The woman named Wang Xiumei stood at the entrance to the Normal School. She shook her head, her face wrinkled with a smile. "We just got here too. This is the Zhou Yaoqi I told you about."
He Hongxia looked Zhou Yaoqi up and down. He was 1.8 meters tall, with regular features, and looked quite good. She also introduced her daughter, "This is my daughter Shiqian."
Zhou Yaoqi smiled at the young woman and said, "Hello."
"Hello." The young woman also nodded to Zhou Yaoqi, but her expression was indifferent.
Because the young woman was none other than Shen Xinran, who had been traveling here for nearly a month.
The protagonist of this small world is Zhou Yaoqi. He started out as a poor boy with nothing, and worked hard to become a coal boss, and then a real estate tycoon.
Her identity is the male protagonist's ex-wife, a troublemaker who has nothing but beauty.
The current plot has just begun. Zhao Shiqian and Zhou Yaoqi met through a blind date and will get married in three months.
There is an eight-year age difference between the two. Zhou Yaoqi takes good care of Zhao Shiqian. She enjoys the best of everything, wears top-notch clothes, and uses the highest quality items.
However, Zhao Shiqian was not satisfied and disliked Zhou Yaoqi because he was older and did not know how to use sweet words to make her happy.
By chance, she made a movie that became a national hit. But at this time, Zhou Yaoqi's mine had an accident and Zhou Yaoqi was facing bankruptcy.
Zhao Shiqian is the kind of person who can only share happiness but not hard times, so she resolutely divorced Zhou Yaoqi.
She thought she could run towards a bright future, but the outside world was not as beautiful as she imagined. Apart from her first movie, she had no other role to show off.
Later, Zhou Yaoqi made a comeback and became a real estate tycoon.
Zhao Shiqian has fallen to the point where she can't even afford to eat. She can only act like a troublemaker by relying on her identity as Zhou Yaoqi's ex-wife in an attempt to attract attention.
Ironically, these actions of hers helped Zhou Yaoqi find true happiness and belonging.
She was a rising star in the entertainment industry. Her purity and innocence were like a blank sheet of paper, forming a sharp contrast with the vicious Zhao Shiqian.
Wang Xiumei knew there was something fishy going on between the two of them as soon as she saw Zhou Yaoqi's expression. "We've already brought the people here, so let's leave the young people to handle their own affairs."
After she finished speaking, she looked at He Hongxia and said with a smile: "I want to buy a piece of red cloth. Can you accompany me to consult?"
He Hongxia nodded immediately, "Okay."
But when she left, she did not forget to give Shen Xinran a look, indicating that she should not forget what she said when she came.
After the two left, Zhou Yaoqi looked at Shen Xinran and asked with a smile: "Do you like drinking tea? There is a new teahouse opened in front, it is said to be very good. We can go there to sit down and chat while drinking tea."
Shen Xinran nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Yaoqi had very long legs. He led the way in front and would stop and wait for Shen Xinran almost every few steps.
…
There are exquisite carvings on the wooden windows, and antique calligraphy and paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds are hung on the walls.
The tea room is filled with a faint fragrance of tea, and under the soft light, everything seems so harmonious and beautiful.
Zhou Yaoqi walked in with a tray and said, "I heard that girls like to drink flower tea, so I ordered some for you."
Shen Xinran raised his head and glanced at Zhou Yaoqi. He had strong features, a high nose bridge and firm lips. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.
However, Zhao Shiqian did not like Zhou Yaoqi. She felt that Zhou Yaoqi was too old, and if He Hongxia had not forced her to come, she would not have come for the blind date at all.
Thinking of this, Shen Xinran's expression was indifferent, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "I don't like drinking flower tea."
Zhou Yaoqi's eyes flickered, and after raising an eyebrow, he asked, "What kind of tea do you like?"
Shen Xinran chuckled, "Tea is only drunk by the elderly. Who among the young people today still drinks tea?"
Zhou Yaoqi was not angry either. He seemed to have anticipated Shen Xinran's reaction. He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said casually:
"I didn't expect that in the eyes of you young girls, I am already an old man. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhou Yaoqi, I am 30 years old, and I work in the mine."
His voice was calm and steady, with a charm that was unique to him, which made people feel at ease for some reason.
Shen Xinran nodded and began to follow the procedures. He said in a nonchalant tone: "My name is Zhao Shiqian, I'm 22 years old this year, and I work in the art troupe. I have a delicate personality, I want the best of everything, and I have a bad temper..."
Shen Xinran didn't listen to He Hongxia. She followed the plot and told all her shortcomings at once.
There's no need to pretend to be a drama queen, she is one just like that.
But Zhou Yaoqi smiled and said, "After listening to you for so long, I realized that my introduction just now was not sincere enough."
Shen Xinran pursed her lips and stopped talking. Humph, who wants to be serious with you? She will never be serious this time!
Zhou Yaoqi seemed to sense Shen Xinran's resistance. He stared at Shen Xinran quietly, his eyes fiery and focused, as if he could see through every wave in Shen Xinran's heart.
Under his gaze, Shen Xinran blushed involuntarily. After coughing, she picked up the teacup in a panic and took a sip of tea.
Only after she finished drinking it did she feel something was wrong.
Bah, didn’t she just say she doesn’t like tea!
Shen Xinran straightened his back and said in a slightly pretentious tone, "This tea is really hard to drink. It smells like tea."
The smile in Zhou Yaoqi's eyes grew thicker. "It's okay. Next time I'll take you to drink tea without the taste of tea."
