Chapter 22: Xu Hongdou's Beauty Was Sealed by Bangs

Yang Muye returned to the Fairy Hotel at around 8 p.m.

As I passed through the lobby, I saw Yang Tao helping a couple check in. Next to her stood a girl with her hands on her phone, looking down and texting.

Due to the angle, Yang Muye did not see the other person's face.

Instead, Yang Muye heard the girl's mother thanking Yang Tao.

"Peach, thank you so much for booking a room for us in advance. There was a parent with us, and we asked all the hotels and guesthouses in the area, but they were all fully booked."

"No, no, you contacted me in advance to book the room. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find accommodation nearby if we had come at the last minute."

"That's all thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to stay in such a high-end hotel at a 30% discount."

"Aunt Liu, you're too kind. My cousin and Uncle Xu are relatives, so we're relatives too. Isn't it normal for family to help each other out?"

"Yes, yes, we're all family, so let's not be formal."

The other person warmly took Yang Tao's hand and called to her daughter, "Dou'er, stop playing on your phone and come talk to your sister Taozi. I didn't know you two were in the same school and the same major. If you don't understand anything, just ask your sister Taozi."

The girl quickly looked up and responded:
"Know it."

At the same time, I quickly sent a message to my sister in Shanghai:
"Mom's calling me, I'll talk to you later."

The girl put down her phone and walked over quickly.

Just then, Yang Muye happened to pass by.

Their eyes met, and the two nodded to each other in tacit agreement, which was considered a greeting.

Behind them came the girl's mother's enthusiastic introduction.

"Peach, this is our youngest daughter, Xu Hongdou. She has an older sister who is five years older than you. She went to Fudan University for college and stayed there to work after graduation. She's always very busy."

Xu Hongdou?
Yang Muyi suddenly turned his head, but before he could see the girl's face clearly, he met Yang Tao's gaze.

Something?

Yang Tao looked puzzled and asked with her eyes.

Yang Muye subtly shifted his gaze to the side, fixing it on the girl from before.

She was tall with long hair and wore a red Mickey Mouse headband.

With fair skin, delicate features, and a beautiful oval face full of collagen.

She just had bangs, which made people a little confused.

Although this kind of straight bangs is popular among girls now, it really doesn't look good.

Her stunning beauty, which could have been a near-perfect score, was reduced to a mere 80.

Although she is still a beauty, the contrast is obvious when she stands next to Yang Tao, who is also a beauty with a score of over 90.

Of course, one is without makeup and the other is with makeup, so it's really hard to compare.

To avoid being discovered, Yang Muye only glanced at it before looking away.

Just then, Xu Hongdou received a text message from her sister on her phone. She picked it up and was busy reading it, not realizing that Yang Muye was actually looking at her.

"Manager Yang, I suddenly remembered something, my room—"

"Mr. Yang, don't you want to stay here anymore?" Yang Tao asked.

"No, I plan to extend my stay until January next year."

"Should we do it now?"

"No rush, you go ahead with your work, I'll contact you later."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the elevator.

As soon as Yang Tao looked away, her arm was warmly taken by Xu Hongdou's mother, Liu Guiqin.

"Peach, I heard from Su Qing that you didn't date anyone during your four years of college. What happened? Didn't you meet the right person?"

Yang Tao was caught off guard. Why was she suddenly asking this?
Liu Guiqin glanced towards the elevator: "That young man just now looked pretty good. He was as young as a student, tall, and handsome. This is an opportunity!"

what?
Yang Tao was instantly confused. What was all this about?
"No, Aunt Liu, you've misunderstood. I have no relationship with that Mr. Yang—"

Liu Guiqin interjected, "It doesn't matter if we're not familiar with each other yet, we'll get to know each other better with more interaction."

Yang Tao finally understood where the problem lay. Yang Muye looked so young, and she called him President Yang. Liu Guiqin saw that he was so handsome, so she had the idea of ​​playing matchmaker.

Seeing Xu Hongdou looking at her phone, Yang Tao suddenly had an idea.

"red beans?"

Xu Hongdou looked up from her phone screen and glanced over.

"Sister Peach, did you call me?"

"Did you see that boy just now?"

"I was texting with my sister and wasn't paying much attention."

"His name is Yang Muye. He's a freshman in the business school this year, just like you, majoring in business administration. He's a very capable young man. He started a business with his friends during the summer vacation and created two very popular online games. Now I have to call him 'General Manager Yang' whenever I see him."

Liu Guiqin, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Her husband, Xu Jianguo, glared at her irritably.

Serves you right for always asking around; now you've really embarrassed yourself!

Xu Hongdou, holding her phone, belatedly looked towards the elevator.

Yang Muye had already gone upstairs in the elevator.

At this moment, Yang Tao's voice continued to ring out.

"You have to admit Aunt Liu has good taste. I haven't met a single outstanding guy like Mr. Yang in my four years of college. To be honest, I'm even a little envious of Hongdou now."

Liu Guiqin was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say, and her husband Xu Jianguo was forced to step forward.

"Peach, your Aunt Liu was just joking! It's getting late, why don't we go upstairs and check out the rooms?"

"Okay, I'll take you up."

Liu Guiqin and Xu Jianguo hurriedly waved their hands.

"You go ahead with your work, we can go up ourselves."

"Okay, the room is on the 26th floor."

After Yang Tao finished speaking, she smiled and gestured for the elevator to proceed.

The family entered the elevator, and after the doors closed, Liu Guiqin patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xu Jianguo muttered from the side, "Serves you right, for messing around with matchmakers!"

“Xu Jianguo, I was just thanking Taozi for her help and wanted to help her find a partner sooner, right? Didn’t you hear Su Qing say that her aunt, Taozi’s mother, is almost worried to death about this?”

"Taozi is only 23 years old, the same age as our Mi. If you're in such a hurry, why don't you try urging your own daughter?"

"How can that be the same? Mi is already working hard enough on her own in Shanghai. How can I, as her mother, bear to urge her and add more pressure to her?"

Just as Xu Jianguo was about to speak, Xu Hongdou's voice rang out.

"Dad, Mom, can you please stop arguing?"

Liu Guiqin grabbed Xu Hongdou's hand.

"Dou, I might have to tell you this: that guy just now isn't right for you. Don't let his good looks and rich money fool you. Taozi practically raves about him. Unless he's had his fun, it's best to stay away from guys like that until he's truly settled down. In college, just like your sister, focus on your studies and don't get distracted by dating."

Xu Hongdou raised her phone; there was still an unfinished text message on the screen.

"Okay, Mom, my sister has already told me repeatedly in text messages that I should be an independent woman. Being beautiful isn't a skill; living beautifully is! I can almost recite it by heart."

Xu Hongdou felt helpless.

She didn't even get a good look at Yang Muye, yet she acted like she was already in love with him.
