488: Chapter 0489: You Made Me Look Bad 488: Chapter 0489: You Made Me Look Bad When moving from the old neighborhood of the Jiangbei textile factory, most things were left in the old house there.
Because, in the eyes of Ye Weidong and Chen Fang, everything in the new house was brand new, and bringing over the old stuff would just clutter up the new place.
However, Ye Qiu’s electric bike was brought over for the convenience of Chen Fang or Ye Xue to go grocery shopping, and Ye Weidong’s old 28-bar Hongqi bicycle, which used to be stored at the congee and noodle shop, was also brought over to the garage of the new house because Ye Weidong couldn’t bear to part with it.
Now, in the garage were Ye Qiu’s Mercedes AMG, Ye Weidong’s motorcycle, an electric bike, and a bicycle.
Since there were two parking spaces, it was still quite spacious inside.
Chen Fang and Ye Xue thought that Ye Qiu would drive the big Benz over, but to their surprise, Ye Qiu didn’t.
Instead, he rode the Hongqi bicycle.
“Riding this bike over?”
Initially, it was strange that Ye Qiu was just wearing a set of worn-out clothes, which was odd to Chen Fang and Ye Xue.
But Ye Qiu liked wearing them and didn’t care if they were name-brand, so the two didn’t mind.
Unexpectedly, it was now Li Qianqian’s birthday, and Ye Qiu didn’t drive the Benz over but rode this old-style bicycle instead.
“Mom, I know what Qianqian needs.”
Chen Fang and Ye Xue were both perplexed and couldn’t figure out what Ye Qiu was thinking.
When they saw Ye Qiu riding that 28-bar bicycle out, looking at Ye Qiu’s back, Ye Xue and Chen Fang covered their mouths and laughed.
However, Liu Lingxiu didn’t laugh because she knew Ye Qiu was right; she knew Ye Qiu understood what Li Qianqian needed.
As Ye Qiu rode out from the security guard booth, the guards recognized Ye Qiu.
Usually, he drove the Mercedes AMG, so seeing him on this old-style bicycle, they felt a bit unnatural.
However, the two guards didn’t dare say anything and only whispered once Ye Qiu rode far away.
According to the mobile’s map navigation, Peach Blossom Source Residential Area was about ten kilometers from Jiangnan Spring Club, not very far.
Now, Ye Qiu was riding fast on his bike.
While it might take others forty minutes to an hour, Ye Qiu could make it in no more than twenty minutes.
Li Qianqian, Zhou Muling, and Han Xiaowan first entered the Jiangnan Spring Club.
Originally a medium-sized private garden, it was purchased at a high price by the owner behind the club and then renovated.
Now, the Jiangnan Spring Club featured the essence of a Jiangnan garden, combined with European styles.
As Li Qianqian had been here several times, it didn’t feel new to her.
But for Zhou Muling and Han Xiaowan, who were first-timers, it was naturally very intriguing.
Pavilions, rockeries, small bridges, and flowing water, with delicate willows swaying in the night breeze, made the scenery inside look particularly beautiful to Zhou Muling and Han Xiaowan.
Occasionally, the two girls would take out their phones to take pictures while Li Qianqian led them into a separate room.
This was their main activity place with Ye Qiu.
It was spacious, perfect for chatting, watching TV, singing, drinking, and eating—everything was readily available.
As the three girls sat down, Li Qianqian thought that Peach Blossom Source Residential Area was less than ten kilometers from here.
Driving would take less than ten minutes.
But she and Zhou Muling had walked from the club’s entrance for ten minutes.
Li Qianqian took out her phone and called Ye Qiu again.
“Ye Qiu, are you not here yet?”
Hearing that Ye Qiu was almost there, Li Qianqian, worried that he might be distracted while driving, hung up the phone to wait for his arrival.
Ye Qiu, on the road, riding that bicycle, found it a bit uncomfortable as he hadn’t ridden in a while.
But he found it quite fun, at least something he never experienced in the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, riding a bicycle.
After cycling for another five minutes, Ye Qiu saw a garden-like Jiangnan Spring Club entrance.
With a drift, he stopped the 28-bar Hongqi bicycle, where a row of luxury cars was parked.
The two guards were waiting for the friend of Li Qianqian who drove the Mercedes AMG, but they hadn’t seen anyone.
Instead, they saw a plain-looking guy on an old-style bicycle stop there.
“Move along, move along.
You can’t park here!”
“My friend asked me to come here.”
“Your friend, what friend?”
After speaking, the guard and his partner snickered.
They found Ye Qiu quite funny.
Everyone coming to this club was either rich or powerful, but this young man, dressed like a scrap collector or an ordinary laborer, didn’t seem to fit in.
Ye Qiu didn’t know that Li Qianqian had assumed he would drive the Benz over.
She had informed the guards, and they were expecting the Mercedes-driving Ye Qiu, not the one on the 28-bar bicycle.
Looking at the three large characters at the entrance of this high-end club.
This should be right!
Li Qianqian had mentioned this place, and Ye Qiu already saw Li Qianqian’s red Beetle parked nearby.
“Kid, hurry and leave.
Someone else needs this spot.”
The person he was referring to was none other than the Mercedes-driving Ye Qiu, not knowing it was him right in front of them.
Ye Qiu ignored the two guards and took out his phone to call Li Qianqian.
“Qianqian, I’m at the entrance.
The security won’t let me park!”
I’m coming out right now.”
Li Qianqian found it odd.
If Ye Qiu drove here, why wouldn’t they let him park?
She planned to file a complaint against the guards with the club.
Li Qianqian, Zhou Muling, and Han Xiaowan hurriedly came out from their private room and saw Ye Qiu sitting on the bicycle with the two guards glaring at him.
Ye Qiu stayed there and didn’t leave.
The two guards felt that Ye Qiu was affecting the club’s image and wanted him gone quickly.
Li Qianqian called out.
Ye Qiu already saw Li Qianqian, Han Xiaowan, and Zhou Muling.
All three were very surprised when they saw him.
Ye Qiu didn’t drive the Mercedes AMG, and he was wearing a set of washed-out clothes, empty-handed, with no visible gifts.
At least, Zhou Muling and Han Xiaowan expected Ye Qiu to bring a birthday cake and a bouquet of roses.
“You, you know each other?”
The two guards, seeing Li Qianqian’s expression, were immediately astonished.
“But, but this isn’t a Mercedes AMG!”
Li Qianqian felt a bit embarrassed and slapped Ye Qiu on the hand, saying, “You jerk, you made me look bad!”
How did he make her look bad?
Was it not okay to ride a bicycle over?
