The waiter was also verbally reprimanded by Lian Chuchu, for example, for not going in to tell her.

The party ended, and everyone left.

Xu Jingzhi got into the car before Xu Yao, while Xu Yao was still saying goodbye to her friends.

After waiting for ten minutes, Xu Yao happily skipped and hopped towards the car.

Open the car door and get in.

"Brother, let's go."

Xu Jingzhi glanced at her, his expression unreadable, and did not greet Xu Yao with the gentle smile he usually did.

Instead, he stepped on the gas and left the manor.

On the way, Xu Yao excitedly talked about the friends she had made that day, saying that Lian Chuchu was the one she talked about the most.

However, Xu Jingzhi only gave a few faint "hmm" sounds, and Xu Yao naturally sensed that something was wrong.

She asked in confusion, "Brother, what about you? Have you made any new discoveries?"

"No."

Xu Yao said with a grin:

“Brother, how about I go find Sister Chuchu? Her father treats her very well. Then our Xu family can cooperate with the Lian family and Grandpa Shen’s family. I didn’t expect their family to be so powerful in Beijing. Ever since they found out that I am Grandpa Shen’s goddaughter, those girls have been surrounding me.”

She spoke these words with great enthusiasm, completely unaware of the grim expression on Xu Jingzhi's face in the driver's seat.

At the party, Xu Yao always addressed Shen as Grandpa Shen and Shen Xingmian as Brother in front of outsiders, but ignored her own grandfather and brother.

That's fine, it's just a name, but the Yao Yao I remember is innocent and kind, sometimes a little mischievous, but she has never been like this before.
