CHAPTER 51: 52 CHAPTERS: UNTIL A TALL FIGURE BRUSHED PAST FROM THE SIDE

Hanging up the phone, He Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment by the words "Do you want to come and keep me company?"

She wanted to refuse, feeling it was inappropriate, but thinking of agreeing also made her a little timid.

Finally, after scanning her contacts, she dialed a number.

Ten minutes later, having heard the whole story, Wen Ya asked softly, "So, to summarize, Zhou Xiao sold you out, you asked Mr. Wen for help, and now he’s inviting you to keep him company for his birthday, to go to Ming Lake Island and have fun for three days?"

"Yes." Thinking of that bastard Zhou Xiao, He Xiaoqi ground her teeth in resentment, but then hesitatingly considered Ming Lake Island, a small island 200 kilometers from Rong City, "Sister Shiman, do you think I dare go? He said he invited many socialite ladies, just to have a party."

A gentle voice on the other end remained silent, and after a long pause, only asked, "You... I can’t really say, but isn’t your sister-in-law quite strict with you? Does she allow you to go?"

He Xiaoqi was taken aback, thinking of Gu Zixuan’s face which she detested even more, realizing that if it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing, her eyes immediately blazing with resentment.

With a cold voice, she spat, "She’s already been kicked out of the house, do I still need to listen to her!"

...

Yu Wei’s home.

Gu Zixuan had really been waiting for a message, for two days.

In two days, watching the unlit screen, her mood gradually shifted from nervousness to depression.

Thinking of Feng Chengjin not replying to her message, she couldn’t help but guess that he didn’t take it seriously?

But considering that he held a grudge just because she mentioned his age, he didn’t seem like that kind of person.

However, if she guessed he was really angry, and thinking she still owed him a favor, Gu Zixuan suddenly felt this deal might...

Gu Zixuan was in chaos, frowning.

Across, Yu Wei sat with Yu Youxuan, both showing identical frozen expressions.

Yu Wei: "I say, madam, are you reborn as a workaholic, or did Feng Chengjin threaten you with something outrageous if you didn’t get it done in three days? Why are you working yourself to death?"

Gu Zixuan: "..."

Yu Youxuan gave Yu Wei a dissatisfied glare, then said, "Sister Gu, are you not going to eat because my dad isn’t back to cook, or do you not care about me unless I call you mom, are you going to starve me like this?"

Gu Zixuan: "..."

Finally, Gu Zixuan barely curled her lips, looking at the two of them, "Are you hungry?"

The two of them together sighed, "It’s already noon, how can we not be?"

...

Half an hour later, when the three arrived at the Michelin three-star restaurant, the doorman couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Yu Wei, tall and stunning, had sharp and decisive movements, radiating a strong aura in a black MISSONI bodycon dress.

Gu Zixuan, elegant and graceful, every frown and smile like a masterpiece, wore a nude-colored long dress that not only encapsulated a Bohemian ease but also outlined an alluring charm.

Not to mention they also brought along a doll-like little girl.

Sitting in the booth, the waiter almost immediately presented the menu.

Yu Youxuan needed to go to the restroom, so Yu Wei took her away.

Gu Zixuan lowered her eyes to the menu. The restaurant was decorated in the style of 18th-century European Renaissance, with gray tablecloths and gold cutlery that were simply luxurious, and the menu was entirely in cursive English.

She focused intently.

Until a tall figure brushed past beside her, cold yet composed, with a familiar aura.
