Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Where Did You Buy It? (Second Update)

"Definitely some sweet nothings from the little sister-in-law," Zhao Xiangqian said confidently. Following recent events, Zhao Xiangqian had become more at ease with them, as Brother Mo, usually stoic, only showed such warmth when it came to matters involving the little sister-in-law.

No, to be exact, only when it involved the little sister-in-law, would he smile.

Following Brother Mo for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen Brother Mo smile.

"Do you guys even know? Little sister-in-law sent Mo Siyu a photograph," Li Wei said with the mien of an insider.

Instantly, everyone’s interest was piqued. Zhao Xiangqian and a few others had seen what Tang Yue looked like, but many in the military camp hadn’t, and everyone was extremely curious about her.

Li Wei, Zhao Xiangqian, and others began to describe Tang Yue’s appearance, and upon hearing their descriptions, someone commented, "Isn’t that just like a fairy descending to earth?"

"Exactly, if she weren’t akin to a fairy descending to earth, do you think Brother Mo would even spare her a glance?" Li Wei agreed, and even Zhao Xiangqian accepted this statement.

Tang Yue had the type of beauty that grew on you, naturally pretty, yet the more you looked, the prettier she seemed, and she had an aura about her, truly like that of a fairy descending to earth.

From one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred, even though not everyone believed such an otherworldly beauty could exist on this earth, it was certain that Brother Mo’s girl had to be attractive.

But of course, there were those who were sour about it, thinking they were exaggerating. If she were truly like a fairy, why wouldn’t she be brought here?

Moreover, everyone clamored to see Tang Yue’s photograph but Mo Siyu refused, treasuring it as if it were a hidden treasure.

Gradually, the rumors changed direction, insinuating that Mo Siyu’s significant other was actually quite ordinary-looking, just overly praised by Li Wei and others. Slowly, the rumors became suspicious.

When Mo Siyu heard these rumors, he did not refute them, and so, the rumors spread even more fiercely.

By the time Li Wei and the others tried to clarify, it was already too late to correct the rumor, instead making it seem even more credible.

"I’m so angry," Li Wei said, grinding his teeth,

Zhao Xiangqian rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight, saying, "Are they blind? With the little sister-in-law’s looks, she outshines them by miles. To say the little sister-in-law is ordinary, they must be blind to beauty."

"Brother Mo, just show everyone the photograph of the little sister-in-law, that way there will be no more misunderstandings," Yan Dong felt this could not continue.

"People have their own mouths; even if I show them the photograph, do you think they’d believe it without seeing the real person?" Mo Siyu gave them a sideways glance. These rumors were started by a staff member’s family, and his subordinates always protected him.

He added, "Besides, I like Xiao Yue, and that’s all that matters. What’s it to them?" Mo Siyu wished he could hide Tang Yue away, allowing only himself to see her, let alone deliberately bring her out for everyone else.

"So, we just let the rumors spread?" Li Wei worried, "Won’t the little sister-in-law dislike it here if this keeps up?"

"You’re overthinking it." Mo Siyu gave him a deep, meaningful look.

Once Xiao Yue arrives at the motor pool, the faces of those family members who have spread the rumors will be slapped by their own words.

As for whether Xiao Yue would like the place, with him being here, she would be too eager to come, how could she possibly dislike it?

Taking advantage of the time before departure, Mo Siyu finally wrote another letter to Tang Yue.

School started, and Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu could see each other every day.

"Xiao Yue, your watch looks really nice, where did you buy it?" Zhang Tingyu excitedly looked at Tang Yue’s watch and couldn’t help comparing it with her own white watch. She used to think her watch was very pretty, but now compared to the pale pink one on Tang Yue’s wrist, Tang Yue’s was obviously much nicer.

"Um..." Tang Yue thought for a moment and said, "It was given to me by a friend from outside."

"What kind of friend would give you such an expensive gift?" Zhang Tingyu handed over her own watch and said, "Look, I spent seventy on this watch when I bought it. Your watch looks even nicer than mine in terms of design, and it seems high quality. It must have cost at least US$ 100, right?"

"Cough, Xiao Yue, I thought I was the only friend you had besides myself." Zhang Tingyu looked at Tang Yue with a wounded expression, her playful demeanor appeared very cute.

Tang Yue chuckled. Zhang Tingyu’s previous words didn’t make her feel uncomfortable at all, and her latter sentence seemed to be intended to divert the subject.

She had a feeling that this watch was definitely not cheap, but she also didn’t think it would have cost upwards of US$ 100.

It was possible that Mo Siyu’s monthly salary couldn’t even afford this watch.

Suddenly, Tang Yue remembered that there were two months when Mo Siyu said he had sent money to Aunt Mo for the New Year. She hadn’t thought much of it at the time, but now, could it be that he used that money to buy the watch?

"Tingyu, when it comes to friends from our student days, you really are the only one I have," Tang Yue said earnestly.

Her friends from primary and middle school were Xu Zhenzhen, but now, she didn’t want to be friends with someone who was a white lotus and had harmed her. So, during these two years of high school, the only close friend she had made apart from Zhang Tingyu was truly no one else.

"Really?" Zhang Tingyu looked at Tang Yue with surprise and delight, hugged her excitedly, and said, "Xiao Yue, you’re also the only friend I have."

"Haha, it’s fate." Tang Yue grinned and watched her smiling, then suddenly, she asked, "Tingyu, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

She became serious and solemn, which startled Zhang Tingyu. "Xiao Yue, what is it? Why so formal?"

"My uncle has opened a clothing factory," Tang Yue said slowly.

Zhang Tingyu nodded; she had shopped at their clothing factory several times already.

"My uncle is thinking of getting a brand ambassador," Tang Yue paused and explained, "It’s someone to wear our clothes, record a video, and then we’ll send it to the TV station for broadcast, so that more people will know about our clothing factory."

"Ah..." Zhang Tingyu instantly understood and looked at Tang Yue with a strange look, "Xiao Yue, you’re so good-looking, why don’t you do it yourself?"

Tang Yue touched her nose and replied, "Tingyu, I prefer behind the scenes, I don’t like being in the spotlight."

"Neither do I like being in the spotlight," Zhang Tingyu responded without hesitation.

A flash of understanding crossed Tang Yue’s eyes. Before asking Zhang Tingyu, she had anticipated possible rejection, but Zhang Tingyu was really suitable for their clothes, so, Tang Yue still wanted to give it a try.

Zhang Tingyu said with a smile, "Well, actually, I think there’s someone really suitable."

"Who?" Tang Yue immediately pressed for an answer.

Although her uncle would also look for someone, not just anyone would be suitable.

"What do you think?" Zhang Tingyu countered with a question.
