She missed out on meeting that scumbag Qi Xing back then, but now she wants to meet her current boyfriend.

Zhao Xunkan spent most of his time at Qingfeng Mountain during this period, genuinely treating the resort as a career.

Upon learning that he was going to meet his girlfriend's friends from her dorm, Zhao Xunkan quickly arranged the time and the place to eat.

His commotion was quite significant, and Shi Jing soon received a call from Jiang Qingyue.

This guy was just joining in the fun, but his phone call also revealed one thing: Zhao Xunkan's actions this time were being watched closely by those who were interested, and the news would probably reach the Zhao family's ears in a few days.

Hearing the worry in Shi Jing's words, Jiang Qingyue didn't think so.

He advised, "Don't overthink it. You've met Xun Kan's family; they're not old-fashioned. Besides, don't you know what kind of person Xun Kan is? He finally fell for a girl; he wouldn't let his girlfriend be bullied."

Shi Jing certainly felt that Zhao Xunkan wasn't that kind of person, but she was still Tao Yue's good friend, so she couldn't help but overthink things.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it too much now. Let's wait and see," Shi Jing said, then smoothly shifted the topic to the construction site, "How's the villa construction going?"

"The foundation is almost complete. After all, it's on a mountain, so there are many factors to consider, and the construction speed isn't that fast."

"Okay, thank you both for your hard work."

Jiang Qingyue joked, "You're too kind. Just remember to give us a big red envelope later."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jing burst out laughing: "Don't worry, you'll get your share."

She didn't need to worry about the construction site, and all other work had been arranged. During this time, Shi Jing only needed to focus on her studies.

Aside from Qi Shuang's visit to the two of them before she went abroad, this was the only time Shi Jing went out with everyone when Zhao Xunkan treated them to a meal at their dormitory.

The restaurant Zhao Xunkan chose wasn't particularly expensive, not because he didn't value his girlfriend, but because he considered the spending power of students. Choosing an overly high-end place would seem pretentious and make people uncomfortable.

The couple had discussed the specific location for the dinner. Clearly, choosing this restaurant was Tao Yue's idea.

This restaurant has a nice ambiance and the food is quite good; it also has very positive online reviews.

Zhao Xunkan booked a private room and even arranged for a car to pick him up from the school gate, offering a complete pick-up and drop-off service.

Shi Jing didn't drive himself; he got into the car that Zhao Xunkan had called along with everyone else.

As for Tao Yue, her boyfriend personally picked her up and dropped her off.

The vehicles arrived at the restaurant almost one after the other, and the group of people got out of the cars chatting and laughing.

As soon as the girls reached the restaurant entrance, they saw a group of people surrounding Zhao Xunkan and Tao Yue.

Not knowing what had happened, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they all stepped forward together.

As Shi Jing got closer, he felt that the people in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

She thought for a long time before she suddenly remembered.

There was a person in the middle who looked like Cai Fanghai.

Cai Jiajia had told her more than once to stay away from Cai Fanghai. After that, Shi Jing hadn't seen Cai Fanghai except for one chance encounter, so she naturally forgot about it. She never expected to run into him again this time.

As the group got closer, they could naturally hear the voices of the people talking at the restaurant entrance.

"Xun Kan, not to criticize you, but you rarely come back, so why don't you take your girlfriend out for a nice meal? You just pick out these cheap, ordinary food." The man who spoke called himself Brother Meng, which brought back some memories for Shi Jing.

Zhao Xunkan didn't like to deal with these people. If it weren't for the fact that there were many of them and he had his girlfriend with him, Zhao Xunkan would have pushed them aside and left.

He glanced disdainfully at the guy called Meng Ge and sneered, "What? You look down on ordinary people? What makes you so superior to them?"

"How can you talk like that!" a young man with blond hair snapped angrily.

Meng Ge put on airs: "Aqi, why are you still so impulsive?"

This scene looks so familiar.

Shi Jing thought for a moment, and realized that he seemed to have encountered these people last year when he was gossiping.

Qin Yi used to hang out with these people, and naturally, he didn't end up well. Now, because of the huge debt he incurred back then, Qin Yi has been exiled overseas by his father.

A year has passed, and these people are still keeping an eye on Zhao Xunkan?!

What a profound love this is!

Meng Ge's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Tao Yue, a malicious smile playing on his lips: "Little sister, you're really looking down on Qin Lao Er. Do you want to come with me? I'll take you out to play."

As he spoke, he smoothed his expensive suit and twirled the designer watch on his wrist, his ostentatious display of wealth obvious.

If Tao Yue had come for Zhao Xunkan's money, she might have been swayed by his sweet talk, but that wasn't the case.

She glanced at the guy called Meng Ge and replied nonchalantly, "No need, not interested."

For Shi Jing and her roommates, it would be better to study and read books than to go out and have fun.

Tao Yue, in particular, wanted to study design in graduate school, which meant she had even more to learn. They wouldn't have come out at all if it weren't to introduce her boyfriend to her roommates.

After learning that Zhao Xunkan had booked a restaurant here to treat his girlfriend to dinner, Meng Ge investigated Zhao Xunkan's girlfriend and her social circle. He learned that Zhao Xunkan's girlfriend was a top student at a prestigious university in Beijing, which fueled his jealousy.

Both were abandoned by their families, so why is Zhao Xunkan living a better life than him? Now he even has a girlfriend who's a top student from a prestigious university!

Shi Jing was unaware of his thoughts; otherwise, she would have given him a good scolding. What's the use of being jealous of others when you're not ambitious yourself and only think about taking crooked paths?

"Little sister, why are you so stubborn, you're a girl?" Meng Ge said, shaking his head as if he didn't understand.

Zhao Xunkan wasn't about to let him toy with his girlfriend. He took Tao Yue's hand, pulled her closer, and said coldly, "Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight with me? Or does your family have some kind of problem with the Zhao family?"

"Of course not." Meng shook his head, looking like he was thinking of others. "Xun Kan, everyone knows what kind of family we come from. In the future, we will all have to walk the right path and follow our families' arrangements for marriage. I'm just worried about your little girlfriend and want to help her out."

The way he said it, casually flirting with young girls, made it sound like he was doing a good deed.

The other students in the dormitory were speechless and couldn't help but step forward.

The other side had a large number of people, but Shi Jing and her group were not small either.

On the other side was a group of tall, burly young men, and on their side...

Shi Jing glanced back. Although there was only Zhao Xunkan as a man, there was still a car full of her bodyguards in the parking lot.
