Chapter 273: Chance Encounter with Zhao Qian and Li Zhe

Honey, should we go buy some gifts for Aunt first?

Then let's go to Xingcheng International Shopping Centre first!

Saturday is the day Chen Chunmei's new house warming; Lin Wei wanted to go buy some gifts. Chen Yang then directly drove to Xingcheng International Shopping Centre.

Honey, what gifts does Aunt like?

Gold and jade, you pick and buy!

Then let's buy jade! The last time we came back from Hong Kong we already gave gold.

Seeing Lin Wei had made a decision, Chen Yang accompanied her to the jade shop to look at jade.

Funny enough, when they arrived at the jade shop they discovered Zhao Qian was also inside, accompanied by a refined young man.

Chen Yang instantly recognized him as his future brother-in-law Li Zhe. Just as he was about to step forward to greet him, Lin Wei spoke first.

Yo, haven't seen you in a few days, our Qian Qian has found a boyfriend!

Sister-in-law, Brother, how did you come? Zhao Qian stared in surprise at the suddenly appearing Chen Yang and Lin Wei. She had been holding Li Zhe's hand, but now she quickly pulled it back as if shocked.

Chen Yang and Lin Wei exchanged a glance, the corners of their mouths simultaneously curling into a faint smile. Lin Wei, looking gossipy, eagerly asked Zhao Qian: "Qian Qian, quickly introduce this handsome guy to Sister-in-law—who is he? What exactly is your relationship? How far have you gotten?"

Zhao Qian's pretty face flushed red with embarrassment, and she coquettishly said: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense—we're just ordinary classmates."

"Hands are already held, and you still claim to be just ordinary classmates?" Lin Wei utterly disbelieved, smirking: "Or are you saying that medical school college students are already this open?"

Sister-in-law, hello! I'm Li Zhe, Qian Qian's classmate. Seeing Zhao Qian shyly lower her head, Li Zhe quickly stepped forward to help her out.

Lin Wei gave Li Zhe a once‑over, then said solemnly: "Do you like our little sister-in-law?"

Li Zhe glanced at Zhao Qian, a bit shy, and nodded: "Yes… yes!"

Lin Wei pressed further: "So, you're dating now, right?"

Li Zhe cautiously glanced at Zhao Qian; seeing her glare at him, he hesitated a moment, but then nodded.

Sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense—I haven't fully agreed yet! Seeing Li Zhe confess so readily, Zhao Qian grew a bit anxious.

At this point Lin Wei couldn't possibly believe her excuses: "Qian Qian, it's perfectly normal for college students to date; what's there to be embarrassed about? I got together with your brother before we even graduated from university, didn't I?"

Seeing her lie exposed, Zhao Qian said somewhat embarrassed: "But we're only freshmen—wouldn't that be a bit early?"

It really is a bit early. Although Chen Yang agreed to this marriage, he couldn't resist interjecting: "I don't oppose you dating, but for now you should prioritize your studies. If you haven't even graduated and you give me a little nephew, that wouldn't be appropriate!"

Brother, what are you talking about! Zhao Qian hadn't expected Chen Yang to mention having a child in public; blushing, she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Brother, rest assured, we won't overstep. Li Zhe immediately assured Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded satisfactorily, then asked Li Zhe: "What are you here to buy?"

Li Zhe honestly replied: "I heard Aunt likes jade, so I came with Qian Qian to see if there's anything suitable."

Upon hearing that Zhao Qian also wanted to buy jade for Chen Chunmei as a gift, Lin Wei immediately felt awkward: "Honey, we'll have to get something else—can't have a clash..."

Chen Yang said: "No problem, we can buy separately—one gets a jade bracelet, the other a jade pendant. Anyway, as long as it's jade, my aunt will like it."

Lin Wei thought Chen Yang's suggestion was not bad, so she told Zhao Qian: "Qian Qian, you go ahead and pick; after you're done, give me some advice."

Zhao Qian pointed to an ice‑type jade bracelet in the counter and whispered to Lin Wei: "I think that jade bracelet looks nice, but it's really expensive!"

Chen Yang and Lin Wei walked over and took a look; the price tag read 100,000, which is indeed quite expensive!

However, the price of jade fluctuates wildly—let alone 100,000, pieces costing hundreds of millions exist.

Since Zhao Qian had taken a liking to it, Chen Yang didn't mind the money. He thus told the shop assistant: "Please take out that jade bracelet for us to have a look."

The salesperson glanced at Chen Yang's party's attire, spoke a bit cautiously: "Sir, this bracelet is very expensive; are you sure you want it?"

Chen Yang and Lin Wei were dressed casually today, the only thing slightly upscale being Lin Wei's Chanel handbag she was carrying. Zhao Qian and Li Zhe were still wearing their medical university uniforms. Thus, the other party doubting their spending power is only natural.

Rest assured, we're not short of money!

The salesperson hesitated a moment, then carefully took the jade bracelet out of the display case.

Chen Yang, not knowing much about jade, turned his head to Lin Wei and said: "Honey, what do you think of this jade bracelet?"

Lin Wei lightly picked up the jade bracelet, carefully examined its texture, color, and translucency, then nodded satisfactorily: "This ice‑type jade bracelet is great—ample water content, proper color, no obvious flaws. Let's buy this one!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang directly pulled out his bank card from his pocket and handed it to the salesperson.

The other party, seeing Chen Yang produce an ICBC black gold card, immediately became respectful.

Brother, this is Qian Qian's gift for Aunt—should I pay instead?

Seeing Chen Yang about to pay, Li Zhe immediately took out his own bank card from his wallet and offered it to the salesperson.

Chen Yang was pleased with Li Zhe's attitude, but he definitely couldn't let him pay.

Li Zhe, you've only just started dating; giving such an expensive gift is a bit inappropriate. What if your parents find out—how would they view my Qian Qian?

Brother, it's fine—this is my own saved money. Li Zhe persisted in wanting to pay for Qian Qian.

Chen Yang had the cashier swipe the card directly, then told Li Zhe: "I appreciate your intention. Keep that money to buy Qian Qian some tasty treats and fun stuff—she loves to play, and if you're broke you might not be able to keep her heart."

Hearing Chen Yang's evaluation of her, Zhao Qian felt a bit displeased: "Brother, am I really that worldly?"

Chen Yang laughed: "I'm saving your boyfriend money, and you're still not happy?"

Zhao Qian pouted and gave a soft hum: "Saving money is fine, but you can't malign my image!"

Chen Yang, worried she was upset, gently said: "Then I'll take it back—I said wrong. Can I apologize?"

Zhao Qian nodded satisfactorily, then threatened: "If you dare speak ill of me, I'll tell Sister-in-law all your embarrassing stories."

Qian Qian, what embarrassing stories does your brother have? Tell me later... Upon hearing this, Lin Wei immediately got excited.

Chen Yang gave them a glance. As a proper man, what embarrassing stories could he have? It must be Zhao Qian that little girl fabricating tales to get back at him.
