The two women looked up simultaneously and saw Gu Jin standing at the company entrance with her entourage, looking at them with resentment.

Gu Yingying was standing behind Gu Jin.

Gu Yingying looked even more indignant than Gu Jin, pouting and raising her chin as she stared at Tang Shu with a defiant expression.

Although she was very envious of Tang Shu's figure.

However, this doesn't mean she would compromise and let her become her sister-in-law.

"Are you two crazy?"

Seeing that Tang Shu and Ye Yun did not move, Gu Jin crossed the road and ran to them.

"elder brother!"

Gu Yingying stomped her feet in anger.

What a spineless man! He said he didn't want to see Tang Shu before, but as soon as he saw her, he ran over to her like a little puppy.

Gu Jin couldn't care less about Gu Yingying at the moment.

Seeing that Ye Yun and Tang Shu didn't look too good, he glanced at the school behind them and seemed to understand something.

"You two went to find someone all by yourself?"

Upon seeing Gu Jin, Tang Shu's expression softened somewhat, and she shook her head.

"Why do you look so pale?" Gu Jin leaned down and, seeing Tang Shu's unwell expression, immediately forgot everything else and looked at Ye Yun: "What happened?"

Ye Yun pursed her lips.

She found the details of the process a little difficult to describe. After pausing for a couple of seconds to choose her words, she said, "We suspected that the person who helped Ye Xue was Liu Xiaoyun's childhood sweetheart. We went to check on him today, but it wasn't him, so we were a bit disappointed."

Just a little discouraged?

Gu Jin's expression clearly showed disbelief. She looked down and glanced at Tang Shu's expression again.

At this moment, Tang Shu looked somewhat bewildered and absent-minded, a stark contrast to her previous calm and composed demeanor, which remained unperturbed even when the sky was falling.

Gu Jin couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

His intuition told him that Tang Shu's ordeal was definitely not as trivial as Ye Yun had made it out to be.

"Alright, let's go back to the company first."

Gu Jin didn't press further, patted Ye Yun on the shoulder, and told her to take Tang Shu back with her.

Gu Yingying was still waiting at the company entrance.

Seeing Gu Jin return with Tang Shu, she pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "What a piece of trash..."

Gu Jin's expression hardened. "What are you muttering about?"

Gu Yingying's face paled for a moment, but she quickly regained her arrogance and said stubbornly, "What's it to you? Didn't you say you were here to help me get revenge? The person is right in front of you now, what? Are you going back on your word?"

"To vent?"

Ye Yun was puzzled.

"Oh, is that so?" Gu Jin explained, "Didn't Yingying come to you saying you bullied her? You bullied her?"

Ye Yun: "..."

Tang Shu: "..."

Uninterested in playing house with Gu Yingying, Tang Shu remained silent, glanced at Gu Jin indifferently, and then stepped into the company.

Ye Yun quickly followed.

Still bewildered, Gu Jin followed, asking, "Tang Shu, why are you running?"

"Look, brother! She's acting guilty!"

Gu Yingying stamped her foot and hurriedly followed, continuing to chatter and complain in Gu Jin's ear.

...

Class reunion.

Despite the unpleasantness between Tang Shu and Xie Jiaming, Xie Jiaming still organized a class reunion at Tang Shu's request.

The location is in Tangjia.

Tang Shu's uncle was very sensible. When he learned that his niece was going to hold a banquet at home, he was afraid that they, as elders, would affect the social interactions of the young people, so he left home with his lover.

Ye Yun was also invited.

To be precise, Gu Jin was invited, and Ye Yun and Gu Yingying attended as Gu Jin's friends.

The group held an open-air feast in the Tang family's courtyard. They were all spoiled rich kids who had hired a chef from the Chunfeng Restaurant in the city to prepare the food.

Before the formal meal begins, everyone usually sits together to eat some dessert and drink some wine.

Whether sitting or walking, acquaintances eat and drink together, and strangers can exchange a few words when they bump into each other.

Ye Yun was not familiar with anyone here.

Gu Jin was pulled away by Tang Shu to meet everyone, leaving only Gu Yingying sitting next to her with a plate of desserts, turning her grief and anger into appetite and eating non-stop.

While eating, he glared fiercely at the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Damn it."

Gu Yingying, biting into her bread, snorted, "Pah, what a spineless stinking man. In the end, he was won over by this woman."

Ye Yun: "..."

Upon learning that Tang Shu was about to get married, her close friends all enthusiastically offered their congratulations.

Tang Shuyi agreed to all of them.

"There are quite a lot of people today, so please feel free to do whatever you want, eat and drink well. Who knows when we'll get together again next time!"

After saying those polite words, Tang Shu took Gu Jin's arm and went elsewhere.

The two quickly disappeared into the shadows.

In a corner where no one could see, Tang Shu coldly pulled her hand away from Gu Jin's arm.

"Tang Shu, are you really going to expose Liu Xiaoyun in front of so many people?" Gu Jin asked anxiously, grabbing Tang Shu's shoulders with both hands.

Tang Shu's voice was very cold.

"Yes, isn't Ye Yun your friend?" Although her voice was cold, it was firm. "Gu Jin, you should know that Liu Xiaoyun and I have always been at odds. She has always looked down on young people like us who rely on our parents' protection, but we have also worked hard. I can't tolerate her anymore. Besides, isn't Ye Yun your friend? I'm standing up for your friend, and you're going to stop me?"

"I did not mean that……"

Gu Jin's voice trailed off.

"I just think this matter should be decided by Ye Yun herself. She didn't say she wanted to expose Liu Xiaoyun, so we..."

"Don't say anything more. My mind is made up. Doing this will not do Ye Yun any harm."

Tang Shu interrupted Gu Jin directly.

Before leaving, she coldly remarked, "Ye Yun is too kind-hearted. It's unlikely she can succeed on her own. I'm determined to expose Liu Xiaoyun. If you want to stop me, you'll have to die!"

"When I go upstairs to change my shoes and come back down, that will be the moment I announce Liu Xiaoyun's death sentence!"

Then she turned and left.

Gu Jin sighed helplessly, glanced at the bonsai tree next to her without leaving a trace, and walked away with a sullen face.

Upstairs, Tang Shu entered the room.

After wearing high heels all afternoon, she seemed very tired. She took off her shoes and took out a pair of flat shoes from an old-fashioned wooden shoe cabinet next to her.

But even in flat shoes, her tall figure makes her a pleasing sight.

After changing her shoes, she stood up, took a deep breath, and pretended nothing was wrong as she opened the door and walked out with her head held high.

They walked and talked.

"Liu Xiaoyun, it's no use no matter who pleads for you this time."

"Do you think Xie Jiaming can still protect you?"

"This time, I will expose Xie Jiaming's secrets as well, ruining both of your reputations. No one can save you then!"

Suddenly a cold wind swept up from behind!

A dark figure darted out from the corner behind her and shoved her hard in the back—
