"Can this old man appreciate ballet? He's still not convinced. Chu Xinrou dances better than Lan You."

The old man still stood straight and said in a loud voice, "I used to be a member of the Hai City Ballet Company, so I hope the judges can give me an explanation."

Everyone's attention was on the old man. Neither Lan You nor Chu Xinrou expected that there would be any opposition to this result.

The judges had no choice but to explain, "Sir, this score was given after comprehensive consideration. The program said the performer was Mi Tanhua, but there was an additional Lan You, which violated the rules. Chu Xinrou also changed her program at the last minute, but since both groups performed excellently, we will not take it seriously. Since Mi Tanhua and Lan You's group has two people, we must give a comprehensive score. This is the rule. Please forgive me, sir."

This statement was reasonable. The old man apologized, sighed, and prepared to leave.

Seems to feel regretful and sorry.

The award ceremony was held next. When the award was given to Chu Xinrou, the whole audience cheered loudly. Countless flowers were given to her, so many that she couldn't even get them.

"I'll wait for you at Lao Tan Dry Pot Restaurant in the snack street."

Lan You received Lu Wanying's text message and glanced at Chu Xinrou, who was surrounded by flowers and applause on the stage. Mo Junyao had disappeared from the stage. He hurriedly whispered to Mi Tanhua, "I have something to do. I'm leaving now."

Mi Tanhua looked at her leaving figure and asked anxiously, "It will be our turn soon. Where are you going?"

Lan You did not appear on the award ceremony stage in the end and was currently sitting in a dry pot restaurant.

"Would you like some beer?"

"You can drink?" Lan You looked at her in surprise.

Lu Wanying's smile revealed a hint of sadness. "I learned it in the second year of junior high school. How come you don't know it?"

"Boss, six bottles of beer first." Lan You said cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"I didn't realize you could drink so well." Lu Wanying said in surprise.

"Of course." Lan You said frankly as he opened the bottle and poured a glass.

"This is a toast to you. I'm sorry that I didn't give you a satisfactory result." Lan You drank the whole glass.

Lu Wanying hesitated to drink, her brows furrowed as if she were pondering something. Seeing her like this, Lan You hesitated and asked, "Are you...blaming me for stopping you?"

Lu Wanying replied without hesitation, "No... Thank you, Lan You."

Her eyes were filled with gratitude and emotion, and she drank the whole glass.

"It's my turn to toast you with the second glass. Thank you for letting me go on purpose on the day of the robbery. Thank you for not telling Chu Xinrou that it was me that day. Thank you for offending Chu Xinrou for me. Thank you..." As Lu Wanying spoke, her throat choked and tears rose in her eyes. She tilted her head to suppress those slightly sad emotions.

"In short... Lan You, I've decided to be your friend. From now on... we'll help and trust each other, and I'll never... betray each other." A trace of sadness flashed across Lu Wanying's eyes, but they were ultimately filled with determination and vitality.

Lu Wanying held her cup in the air, her eyes staring at her nervously and expectantly.

Lan You smiled and raised his glass, clinking it loudly, as if sparking friendship.

"Let's do it, and we'll be friends."

After the conversation, the two of them had a tacit understanding and drank the whole glass of wine without hesitation, leaving not a single drop. Their friendship was full of passion.

Afterwards, the two of them ate their food. Since it was the eve of the National Day holiday and it was a little late, there were not many people in the restaurant and they were the only table there.

The two of them quickly drank four bottles, and their cheeks were flushed to varying degrees. Perhaps because of the alcohol, those past events gradually emerged in Lu Wanying's mind.

She lowered her head, a slightly sad expression on her face, and began to speak slowly, "Actually, my family used to be very wealthy, arguably the richest in Hai City. But... because I... mistakenly trusted Chu Xinrou, my family went bankrupt. That's why I hate Chu Xinrou. I'll make her pay the price, even if it means ruining my own life."

Her tone became fierce, and anyone could hear the deep hatred in it.

"Wanying, I can understand your feelings, but I don't agree with your approach. Although I don't know what exactly happened between your family and the Chu family, you ruined yourself and made Chu Xinrou pay the price, but the Chu family still exists. But your father not only lost his career but also lost his precious daughter like you. Aren't you forcing your father to death?" Lan You said seriously, supporting his face with his hands.

Lu Wanying gradually collapsed on the table, unable to control her tears. "But I'm just a student. I can't even handle Chu Xinrou, so how can I ask the Chu family to return everything that belongs to me and my father? I'm really useless."

Lan You felt irritated when she heard the crying, but she felt more distressed. She comforted them, "Sooner or later, the Chu family's unscrupulous actions will be drowned by higher waves. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Wanying, believe me."

She held her hand. Lu Wanying slowly raised her head, her eyes red from crying, her eyes confused like a child. "Can I trust you?"

"Of course." She said firmly.

Lu Wanying looked at her in confusion. "Sister You, I'm curious why you want to help me? What's the conflict between you and Chu Xinrou?"

Lan You was silent for a moment.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

"It's not inconvenient at all. I want Mo Junyao to fall in love with me." She looked determined.

This is her mission in this world and also the condition for her to return.

Lu Wanying looked at her in surprise, "You like Mo Junyao? This...this is enough to make you suffer."

Lan You had long anticipated that it would not be easy to make Mo Junyao fall in love with her, and she was in a low mood.

Seeing her like this, Lu Wanying opened the last two bottles and said with a smile, "Keep drinking. Even if it's just to celebrate the Chu family's unfortunate death in advance, I wish you all the best. Cheers."

She held the bottle and started drinking. Lan You was full of admiration as he watched her drink continuously. Was she trying to boost morale too much?

If you accidentally drink something, it will be troublesome.

Lan You suddenly snatched the bottle and said, "Don't drink it."

Lu Wanying shook her head and smiled, "Sister You, are you stopping me because you can't drink as well as I do and you don't dare to drink anymore?"

"You're drunk, you're not allowed to drink anymore." Lan You said fiercely.

"I'm not drunk, you

As soon as she finished speaking, a call suddenly came in on her cell phone and she picked up the call.

"Hello."

"Come to the alley next to the school now and I'll give you the shirt." An Xinghe frowned when he heard something was wrong in her voice.

"Shirt?" Lu Wanying suddenly remembered something and stood up. "Okay, I'll be right there."

"Sister You, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon."

"Where are you going? Are you okay?" Lan You watched her staggering as she ran out, and followed her worriedly. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't paid yet, so he went to pay first. "Boss, keep it for now."
