Chapter 672: Chapter 672 Pretending

Because it was the weekend and off the regular meal times, there were not many people on the street.

Yue Qingqing saw that on the quiet path, Ye Chunxiao was talking to an old man sitting on the ground.

She was stopped by the other party as she passed by.

“Hey, you’re just going to walk away?”

Yue Qingqing was confused, “Is there something wrong?”

Ye Chunxiao pointed at Qian Zhengxin, “Help him up, he says he fell down.”

Yue Qingqing frowned and walked forward, coming face to face with Qian Zhengxin’s serious expression.

“Young lady, I accidentally fell just now, could you please help me up?”

The principal’s heart, which had plummeted to the depths, suddenly bloomed like dead wood in spring, eagerly looking at Yue Qingqing.

In his eyes, she was absolutely a good student in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor, she couldn’t possibly ignore this, right?

Who knew Yue Qingqing suddenly laughed, “You want me to help you up?”

“Yes.”

“You’d better stand up on your own.”

Both Qian Zhengxin and the principal were taken aback.

The principal, with his head full of green, felt a chilling sense all over his body.

He hadn’t expected Yue Qingqing to have this attitude as well.

Qian Zhengxin sighed inwardly, feeling that although the students in this school had good academic performance, they seriously lacked in character education.

He couldn’t invest his money in this kind of school.

“Forget it, you guys go ahead, just let this old man perish here.”

Ye Chunxiao mocked Yue Qingqing, “Aren’t you always pretending to be very kind? It’s all an act, and a good one at that, even Lu Zhu believed you.”

Yue Qingqing retorted, “He’s the one pretending, haven’t you realized?”

Ye Chunxiao was stunned, “What do you mean, is he trying to scam money with a fake injury?”

As Qian Zhengxin saw his deceit about to be exposed, he quickly said, “Young lady, you can’t just say anything. I came to see my grandson today, got lost, went blind, and then fell over.”

Qian Zhengxin, transformed into a dramatic actor, pitifully wiped the corner of his eyes as though he were wiping away tears, even adding an accent to his speech.

He seemed like an honest and simple country old man being slandered without knowing how to defend himself.

Ye Chunxiao despised Yue Qingqing, “You’re really hypocritical, if you don’t dare to help, don’t make excuses.”

But Yue Qingqing just smiled, “Which leg did you fall on?”

Qian Zhengxin blurted out any excuse, “The left leg, I must have broken a bone, sitting on this cold ground for so long, I… ah, young lady… hiss.”

Qian Zhengxin watched, eyes wide, as Yue Qingqing reached out and gently tapped on the knee of his left leg.

The old man immediately inhaled sharply.

The intense tingling and numbness made Qian Zhengxin jump involuntarily, popping up from the ground as if spring-loaded.

Ye Chunxiao: “…”

Principal: “…”

Yue Qingqing: “Isn’t that much better?”

Qian Zhengxin, now exposed, showed no embarrassment and nonchalantly took a couple of steps.

“Oh my, how suddenly I’ve recovered, truly a blessing from the heavens.”

Ye Chunxiao immediately felt played and angrily said, “You’re truly despicable, a scam artist.”

Qian Zhengxin argued, “I only asked you for a hand, I didn’t ask for money, how could it be a scam?”

Ye Chunxiao cursed furiously, “Why put on an act when you can stand on your own? You must have been planning to blame me once I helped you, you…”

Before Ye Chunxiao could finish the offensive words, Yue Qingqing interrupted, “I see your nose bridge extends straight to the hall of fate, your nostrils are full and powerful, with an even philtrum and a prominent central court, you must be a wealthy person, doing these things today must have your calculated reasons.”

Ye Chunxiao stared at Yue Qingqing in disbelief, “Are you sick too? You two nutcases go play by yourselves.” What a bunch of nonsensical talk.

Ye Chunxiao walked away in a huff, while Qian Zhengxin looked at Yue Qingqing with a probing gaze.

“Young lady, do you know what you’re talking about? In the past, these superstitious words could have gotten you denounced.”

Yue Qingqing wasn’t actually skilled in face reading; she had merely observed the old man’s vitality and casually mentioned a few plausible lines.

However, she didn’t say these things randomly; that was because Yue Qingqing noticed something off about the old man’s energy.

Otherwise, Yue Qingqing certainly would not have engaged with Ye Chunxiao, let alone come over knowing it was all an act.
