The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 489: Chapter 488: Ye Jia Ren

”Tingyu, sister-in-law, over here, over here.”

Wei Zixiao saw the two of them coming and quickly waved them over.

”Zixiao, you got here pretty early.”

Wei Zixiao chuckled twice, then said somewhat puzzled, ”I wonder why Jinming suddenly decided to invite us today. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him, not sure how he’s been lately.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman walked over.

The man wore glasses and looked very scholarly. Wasn’t that Jinming? And the woman beside him was tall and striking, a real head-turning beauty.

Seeing this combination, Wei Zixiao couldn’t help but be a bit surprised, and then raised an eyebrow at Jinming, asking, ”Jinming, who’s this?”

Jinming smiled warmly and said, ”This is my girlfriend, Ye Jia Ren.”

Ye Jia Ren smiled and greeted everyone, ”Hello, I’m Ye Jia Ren, nice to meet you all.”

”Hello.”

Yiyi also smiled and greeted.

At this point, Jinming invited everyone into the hotel, ”It’s rare for everyone to be free today, so I thought I’d invite you all for a meal.”

After everyone was seated, Jinming asked Gu Tingyu and the others to order.

Gu Tingyu casually ordered a few dishes, and eventually let Jinming order more.

After ordering, Jinming introduced Ye Jia Ren in detail. It turned out she attended the same university as Yiyi, but she graduated a while ago and is now working.

When Ye Jia Ren heard that Yiyi also went to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she quickly said with a smile, ”Oh, so you’re my junior, it seems we’re quite fated.”

Yiyi didn’t expect this person to be from the same university, so she smiled and said, ”So you’re Senior Sister Ye.”

The two of them then had even more to talk about.

Ye Jia Ren asked Yiyi about recent events at the university.

Yiyi shared everything in detail.

Then Ye Jia Ren asked, ”Who’s your advisor? Maybe I know them.”

Yiyi responded directly, ”Our class director is Director Sun, and Professor Qian is our traditional herbal medicine teacher.” As for the other course instructors, she mentioned them all one by one.

Hearing this, Ye Jia Ren couldn’t help but laugh.

”It seems we’re really fated. When I was in school, our traditional herbal medicine teacher was also that Professor Qian. We must be talking about the same one, the Professor Qian who’s a bit thin on top.”

Hearing this, Yiyi chuckled and said, ”Yes, that Professor Qian.”

Describing him as ’a bit thin on top’ was a polite way of putting it; in fact, Professor Qian was almost bald.

Ye Jia Ren delightedly shared stories about Professor Qian and funny anecdotes from her school days.

Yiyi listened intently, and she couldn’t help but laugh at the amusing parts.

Jinming watched Ye Jia Ren and Yiyi chat with a smile in his eyes. Previously, he had worried that Ye Jia Ren wouldn’t be able to connect with Tingyu’s circle, but he was relieved to see that she got along well with Tingyu’s fiancée.

During this time, Ye Jia Ren talked about some amusing stories from her work.

Wei Zixiao commented from the side, ”My sister-in-law may still be in university, but she already has her own career. She’s started a pharmaceutical factory and opened a Wuming Pharmacy on the street, where the medicine pills they sell are quite effective.”

Since Wei Zixiao was close to Yiyi, he naturally praised her fervently.

”Wuming Pharmacy?”

Ye Jia Ren was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then exclaimed in surprise, ”So that pharmacy is yours! I’ve heard about it before; the medicine pills there are really effective. Recently, they launched new ointments which also have great results. I didn’t expect it was yours; you’re quite impressive.”

Yiyi smiled and replied, ”I owe it to the old masters at the factory for researching the medicine pills; otherwise, the factory and pharmacy wouldn’t have gained such a reputation.”

Ye Jia Ren remained full of admiration.

”Regardless, you’re truly amazing. Next time I have the chance, I’ll visit your Wuming Pharmacy and get a prescription for some ointments for my own health.”

Yiyi nodded and said, ”Sure, winter is a great time for using ointments to nourish the body.”

While they were talking, dishes started arriving one after the other.

Jinming busily invited everyone to start eating. Though he carried a scholarly aura and appeared somewhat aloof, he was incredibly attentive to his girlfriend, knowing her tastes well and often serving her favorite dishes.

Similarly, Gu Tingyu continuously served Yiyi her preferred foods, de-shelling her shrimp and picking out fish bones for her.

Watching his two friends’ gestures, Wei Zixiao felt envious. They both had partners, while he was still all alone.

With this thought, Wei Zixiao turned to Yiyi and said, ”Sister-in-law, do you know any outstanding girls like yourself? I feel I’m getting older, so I should find a partner. Otherwise, every time I eat with you guys, I’m left watching you couple up, and it’s just too sad for me.” He even clutched his chest dramatically.

Seeing Wei Zixiao act like this, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, and then she said, ”Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for you.”

At that moment, Ye Jia Ren said, ”I do know a few beautiful girls. If you’re really looking for someone, I can introduce them to you.”

Wei Zixiao quickly grinned and said, ”I was just joking earlier, I appreciate the thought, sisters-in-law.”

Hearing Wei Zixiao’s words, Ye Jia Ren just smiled and didn’t say more.

The group continued to eat leisurely, and after finishing, they sat for a while longer before parting ways.

After Jinming and Ye Jia Ren left, Wei Zixiao quickly turned to Yiyi and said, ”Sister-in-law, I was serious earlier. If you know any suitable girls, you have to introduce them to me.”

Hearing this, Yiyi gave him a puzzled look. She distinctly remembered Wei Zixiao saying earlier that he was joking.

Seeing Yiyi’s expression, Wei Zixiao hurried to explain, ”Sister-in-law, earlier, with the other sister-in-law present, it was embarrassing to say more, so I said I was joking. But I really meant it, you know. I can’t ask such a favor from someone I just met, so I’ll rely on you, sister-in-law, to solve my life-long issue.”

For some reason, upon seeing Ye Jia Ren, he didn’t feel as close to her as to Yiyi. Perhaps it was just from meeting her for the first time, so he instinctively turned down Ye Jia Ren’s offer.

When Yiyi heard Wei Zixiao, she nodded and said, ”Okay, got it. If I find someone suitable, I’ll introduce them to you.”

”Thank you, sister-in-law.”

After chatting a little more, Wei Zixiao finally left.

Yiyi then went with Gu Tingyu to the street, planning to do some New Year shopping as the holiday was just around the corner. They needed to prepare gifts for the celebrations.
