Chapter 935: Chapter 935: Do You Recognize Me?
"Yes, why don’t you buy these Red Delicious apples? They’re pinker than regular apples and bigger, too," the shopkeeper recommended, handing over an especially large and red Red Delicious apple.
Compared to regular apples, the Red Delicious apple is larger and has a much deeper red color, almost blackish red. It’s bigger than a regular apple, and of course, pricier too.
"Is it tasty?" Lian He asked while picking carefully.
The shopkeeper, seeing Lian He dressed in a suit and driving a sedan, eagerly recommended them and even peeled an apple for him to taste.
Lian He tasted it and said, "I’ll buy these, my daughter will definitely like them."
Lian He picked each apple by himself.
Tang Yue finally understood why the fruits at home had been so delicious lately. They were all meticulously chosen by Lian He. The red-hearted pomelo they bought earlier was very sweet, thin-skinned with juicy pulp, and she loved it.
In the past few days, Lian He hadn’t talked much to her, and around the house, his presence was minimal.
"Xiao Yue." Si Yu planned to go over to greet her.
Tang Yue quickly held him back, shaking her head slightly, she took Si Yu for a walk in the small park to sit and bask in the sun.
"The tangerines we ate the day before yesterday were delicious too. I bet he picked them like this as well," Tang Yue murmured. She had stayed in Sea City for quite a few days, and the fruits at home were great; she thought it was the aunt who had bought them.
Unexpectedly, it was Lian He who bought them.
"Actually, he..." Si Yu began but then paused.
Si Yu held her hand as they sat down and said, "No matter what you choose, I will support you."
"Hmm." Tang Yue closed her eyes. Even knowing that Lian He might have been deceived by Xiang Yazhi, why hadn’t he gone to find Mom sooner?
If he had gone sooner, perhaps things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did in her past life.
No.
Tang Yue suddenly opened her eyes. The tragedy in her past life wasn’t caused by Lian He. It was her own doing, naive trust in others, indecisiveness, giving her all for someone unworthy, which led to such an end.
This matter was her fault, unrelated to anyone else.
Perhaps Lian He was at fault too, whether intentionally or not, he abandoned her mother Zhang Hualian, but she couldn’t blame him because of that.
Lian He didn’t know about her existence.
After figuring these things out, Tang Yue felt much better. Leaning on his shoulder, she said, "Actually, when it comes down to it, I’ve already recognized him, haven’t I? Otherwise, I wouldn’t let Zaozao and Chenchen call him grandpa."
"Happiness is most important." Si Yu held her hand, pulling her up to head back.
Lian He had already returned home. Seeing them come back, he enthusiastically talked about the new fruits at home and didn’t mention it was him who bought them.
"I want to eat Red Delicious apple." Tang Yue glanced at Si Yu.
Si Yu immediately went to peel a Red Delicious apple. As expected, it was pink, sweet, and not like the crunchy type of apple, very delicious.
"Not bad, quite tasty. It’s a pity that Zaozao and Chenchen are still young, otherwise they could try it too." Tang Yue laughed and praised.
Seeing Tang Yue enjoying the apple, Lian He smiled even wider and said, "If you like it, eat more."
"Okay."
Tang Yue smiled and responded, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but eventually, she didn’t.
Lian He had already turned around to busy himself with other things.
Evening approached, and Tang Yue was aware of a meal at Yipin Inn, which surprised her a bit.
"Chu Hong has a knack for business. Yipin Inn is now in almost every major provincial capital," Si Yu explained.
Tang Yue’s eyes lit up, asking, "Then, your Dividend Card, is it worth a lot?"
"Probably," Si Yu said, unsure.
Tang Yue pondered internally, planning to check the balance of that Dividend Card sometime soon to see how much money was in it.
Yipin Inn, compared to her first visit, looked significantly more antique and upscale and classy this time.
This time, Leng Hua booked the Flower Blossom Wealth Hall. The hall had two large tables and a small lounge area with sofas for resting.
The atmosphere in the private room was excellent. It had an antique feel, even the table and chairs looked like ancient large tables, but with a large lazy Susan on top adorned with flowers at the center, creating a wonderful ambiance.
This was also the first time Tang Yue saw Mo Xiaoyu since her marriage. Mo Xiaoyu’s eyes held happiness, it seemed like she was in the honeymoon phase, her cheeks were rosy. Xie Tiantian had also started calling Leng Hua ’Dad.’ Xie Tiantian was close to Leng Hua, more so than some children are with their biological fathers.
Leng Hua also treated Xie Tiantian as his own daughter.
The men had one table, and the women another, with a few children added to the mix, making it very lively.
"Sister Xiaoyu, your husband treats you really well," Xiao Rui said with a smile.
"Doesn’t Luo Wen treat you well?" Mo Xiaoyu teased back, a bit shy. Since getting married, Mo Xiaoyu had become a bit more thick-skinned than before.
"Yes."
Xiao Rui nodded vigorously, sneaking a glance at Luo Wen at the table next to hers.
Xiao Rui’s actions made everyone laugh.
Tang Yue laughed along. Xiao Rui and Luo Wen got along very well. Since their marriage and the birth of Luo Xuan, Mo Xiaolin had shared many stories about them. They argued sometimes, but they always made up the next day.
Perhaps drinking too much soup, Tang Yue felt the need to use the restroom. After settling Zaozao and Chenchen, she got up and headed to the washroom.
"Sister Xiao Yue, let’s go together," Lian Qingzhi said, taking a big sip of her juice and feeling the urge to go too, following Tang Yue.
When they got to the restroom, Lian Qingzhi had a stomachache and ended up with diarrhea, keeping her in there for a while.
Tang Yue waited for her in the corridor.
The corridor had an ancient wrap-around style, with standing rock gardens and a small artificial lake filled with red koi fish, looking beautiful. The lantern-like light was dim and hazy, quite appealing. A cool breeze blew through, making it a bit chilly, but the warmth from inside was enough to counteract it.
"Beauty!"
Suddenly, a heavily-soaked-in-alcohol person approached.
Tang Yue quickly stepped back, avoiding the person, and upon seeing the man’s face, her expression darkened. Wasn’t this Xue Zhiyuan, Lian Qingxuan’s husband?
Xue Zhiyuan had even missed the family photo today, yet here he was, drinking himself drunk, truly...
Tang Yue didn’t even know what to say; such a person deserved to be kicked to the curb multiple times over.
"Xue Zhiyuan, look closely at who I am," Tang Yue sternly scolded.
Xue Zhiyuan was quite muddled from drinking. He had been dining here with a group of dubious friends and was feeling unwell from the alcohol. He ran out intending to vomit and unexpectedly encountered Tang Yue. She wore a red coat that made her skin look snowy white, exceptionally beautiful.
Who’s calling his name?
"Do you recognize me?"
Xue Zhiyuan attempted to open his eyes wide to see Tang Yue clearly.
