Chapter 32
According to the information provided by Qin Jie, Xie Yuqing is a junior female student studying classical literature in the Chinese Department. She also happened to take the Xianyu course taught by Pei Yu. In addition, she also participated in the student union and about three or four club activities. She is a girl who is relatively active in her circle of friends.
The slender fingers slid across the phone screen, revealing the second page of content hidden behind it.
The second page not only had Xie Yuqing's weekly schedule, but also specifically noted that she liked to eat the braised chicken with rice from the fourth cafeteria. She was 1.62 meters tall, weighed 53 kilograms, had a chest measurement of 96, a waist measurement of 58, and hip measurements...
No, what a mess.
He's looking for someone to negotiate with, not to date, so why is he doing all this useless stuff?
Suppressing his dislike for Qin Jie, Pei Muyang stuffed his phone back into his pocket and left the office building with a stride...
Pei Muyang didn't see Xie Yuqing until the afternoon of the next day.
She was a girl who looked like a good girl, with delicate features that were not aggressive at all. Her long black hair flowed neatly behind her, without any perm or dye. She looked very much like the first love goddess that most boys in high school liked.
According to common sense, such a pure appearance should be matched with a plain figure, but Xie Yuqing is not like that.
She is the kind of girl who can drive all the old perverts around her crazy with her hot body when she walks on the university campus. The boys who enter the university campus have long passed the beautiful innocence brought by spiritual love, and it seems that visual senses can fascinate them more.
It stands to reason that such a pure and lustful goddess would have no shortage of suitors in school, but according to Qin Jie's observation, Xie Yuqing has been single since her freshman year. She has never had a boyfriend whom she acknowledges, and she doesn't even have a good friend of the opposite sex.
That's strange.
You have to know that everyone is an adult college student, there is no such thing as premature love, and the best time in life to fall in love is in college. Except for otakus like Pei Muyang, most people will choose to have a few relationships that are worth their life.
So what is the reason that makes Xie Yuqing choose the same "pure" lifestyle as Pei Muyang in her prime years?
"Hello, classmate Xie." Pei Muyang quickly locked onto the target person in the crowd based on the photos Qin Jie took secretly.
"Who are you, classmate?" Xie Yuqing's face was full of confusion, obviously unsure of the other party's identity.
"I'm Pei Yu's son, my name is Pei Muyang." Pei Muyang had a friendly smile on his face, stepped forward and extended his right hand, "Nice to meet you."
Xie Yuqing's expression gave people the feeling that he was not happy to meet the other person.
Seeing that she was unwilling to shake hands, Pei Muyang understood and took his hand back. He then proceeded to the next step without any embarrassment. "I know you don't have classes this afternoon. Would it be convenient for me to invite you out for a cup of milk tea?"
Xie Yuqing took a step back cautiously, his rejection evident in his expression.
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to chat with you. You can choose the place. It's my treat."
To show his sincerity, Pei Muyang spread his hands out to the girl opposite him.
The other party's vigilance was obviously reduced. After hesitating for three minutes, he slowly nodded and agreed.
It is said that the coffee shop at the school gate was started by seniors from previous classes who started a business near their alma mater after graduation. Because the seniors were popular, the younger students were happy to take care of his business.
Xie Yuqing was actually this senior's direct junior, so when Pei Muyang asked her to choose a place, for her own safety, she thought of this place first.
The environment of this cafe is nice, suitable for young couples to date or students to finish their papers. Occasionally, white-collar workers from nearby come to sit here. However, because it is class time, there are fewer people inside than usual.
Pei Muyang sat down opposite the seat chosen by Xie Yuqing, looked at the menu handed over by the waiter, and casually said, "Ladies first."
Xie Yuqing looked at the menu in confusion, and randomly ordered a cappuccino with beautiful latte art on it from dozens of drinks, and said to the waiter, "I want this."
When it was Pei Muyang's turn, he didn't even look at it and just said ice latte.
After the waiter took the order, he left for the backstage. Pei Muyang thought the time was almost right and was about to say something first, but the girl opposite him spoke first.
"I know what you're going to say. Yes, it was me who reported Teacher Pei."
"Can I know the reason?" Pei Muyang was stunned for a moment but soon calmed down.
He didn't expect that Xie Yuqing, the party at fault, had no expression of guilt or remorse on his face, as if all this was very normal and natural.
If Pei Muyang didn't know Old Pei so well, to the extent that he knew that even if someone really took off all their clothes and posed in front of him, he wouldn't even look at them, I'm afraid even he would suspect that his biological father had really done something worse than an animal.
"Reason? Don't you understand the reason?" Xie Yuqing tilted her head in confusion. "Taking money to get things done is fair, isn't it?"
"But you know my father is innocent."
Seeing Xie Yuqing's indifferent attitude, even Pei Muyang couldn't help getting angry. Although he knew that he must control his anger at this time, he didn't have enough life experience so how could he control it easily?
"Innocent? Who in this world isn't innocent? Then tell me, am I not innocent?"
"What's so innocent about you?" Pei Muyang said in a sharp tone.
In his opinion, this woman is so vicious that she can do such a thing that goes against the bottom line of morality for money.
Xie Yuqing took a sip of the freshly brewed cappuccino and couldn't help but frown. "I really don't know why you rich people like to drink this kind of stuff. Isn't life hard enough? Why do you have to make it harder for yourself?"
Hearing this, Pei Muyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "It seems you have a lot of stories."
"Yeah, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is my first time sitting in a place like this drinking coffee. I come from a very remote place, and my family has been so poor since I was a child that we could barely make ends meet. But in order to continue the family line, my parents, who favor boys over girls, still desperately gave birth to children until my younger brother was born."
Pei Muyang didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
"Ever since I was little, I knew that in my family, all the sisters lived for their younger brother. But I didn't want to live the life my parents had instilled in me. So I studied hard to escape the fate of being sucked dry by my parents to feed my younger brother."
"Then you see, I succeeded and left that perverted and deformed family."
"Isn't this good? What else do you have to complain about?" Pei Muyang couldn't help asking.
"What do I have to complain about?" Xie Yuqing couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. "It's because after leaving that remote and backward place, I realized that the world outside is far more difficult to survive in than where we are."
"Yes, I was admitted to a good school and became one of the few college students in the village. However, my parents were unwilling to spend a penny on my education. If it weren't for the huge age difference between my brother and me, they were even so ignorant as to want my brother to impersonate me and go to school."
"I finally escaped from that home, and with the 5,000 yuan sponsored by the school and the village, I scrimped and saved to come to this place of my dreams. But the scholarship I applied for was taken by someone else. What's even worse is that person doesn't need money at all. I heard he has several thousand yuan a month for living expenses, but he still wanted to steal someone else's most precious thing."
"I had no other choice. To earn tuition and living expenses, I had to work part-time jobs everywhere. At most, I had to do three or four odd jobs a day, and even collapsed on the street from exhaustion. But just as I was desperately struggling for survival and dignity, a man came to me and said that I could stop working so hard for money. Of course, the way I got this money was not glorious. I became his mistress. He wanted me to be at his beck and call at any time. I had to be with him for a few days every month without his wife and children. I hated this relationship. Of course, it also saved me from having to work everywhere to make money."
Pei Muyang: “…”
Xie Yuqing had a strong desire to talk. It seemed that she had been holding these words in her heart for too long and she urgently needed to confide in someone, but she chose a boy who was supposed to have an opposing relationship with her as the person to confide in.
When Xie Yuqing realized this, he was shocked by his own behavior.
If Pei Muyang really used these words to slander and attack her, then she would no longer have a place in the school. But what's the use of regretting it now that it's already been said?
Moreover, for some reason, she had a kind of trust in Pei Muyang in her heart. She believed that he would not threaten her by saying that she was someone else's mistress just because she reported his father. Even she herself could not understand why she had this inexplicable trust.
"It's understandable, but it's hard to empathize with me. Besides, your experiences don't justify slandering my father." Pei Muyang said in a cold tone.
As he said, he could understand Xie Yuqing's difficult situation, but that couldn't be a reason for her to hurt others.
Life is not always satisfactory, but the bottom line of being a human being cannot be discarded at will. This is the essential difference between Pei Muyang and Xie Yuqing.
"Of course it's hard for you to empathize. How could you, kids raised with silver spoons in your mouths, possibly understand what I've been through? I had been planning to apply for an exchange student spot at the school. I was going to flee abroad so I wouldn't have to worry about being threatened and controlled by that man, or about his wife finding out and reporting me to the school. But Teacher Pei turned me down because I missed too many classes and my grades weren't good enough."
"Why? This is my only chance to escape my fate!"
Xie Yuqing's hysterical roar attracted the attention of people around him, but fortunately, in this situation, everyone usually assumed that it was a quarrel between a young couple, so they all looked at Pei Muyang as if he was a scumbag.
"So, when that person came to me, threw a large sum of money at me, and arrogantly asked me to report your father, I agreed to cooperate without hesitation, because I wanted revenge on him. I wanted to make the person who ruined my life go to hell with me."
"Calm down first. I know you're having a hard time, but the opportunity to be an exchange student is missed. If you need anything, I will do my best to help you. I hope you can withdraw your report against my father. Please."
"Okay." Xie Yuqing took a tissue from the table and wiped her tears. She said in a calm and indifferent voice, "First, I want you to cancel your exchange student quota yourself. I don't want the culprit's son to get what I lost. Is this not too much to ask?"
Xie Yuqing said this with a sarcastic smile. She didn't think her request was excessive at all, because she knew that this man who didn't know the dangers of society would naturally reject the conditions she proposed. Of course, she didn't expect to succeed. She just wanted him to give up.
However, Pei Muyang looked at Xie Yuqing for a while, then slowly said, "Okay..."
