Yun Suiwan was prepared to accidentally spill her drink.

Lu Dongjue suddenly spoke up: "What kind of drink is this?" He looked at the waiter with a cold face.

The waiter was startled and stammered, "This...this is our freshly squeezed mango juice."

With a loud "bang," Lu Dongjue slammed the cup down on the table. "You dare give my grandfather this stuff!"

His cold, sharp eyes instantly chilled the atmosphere in the private room to freezing point, and for a moment no one dared to say a word.

"Dump it all and replace it with fresh ones!" he shouted.

"Yes! Yes!" The waiter nodded immediately, as if he had been granted a pardon.

The waiter was incredibly efficient; before anyone could fully react, all the drinks on the table had already been poured into the trash can.

Including cups.

Yun Suiwan couldn't help but look at Lu Dongjue, whose face was cold and displeased, and whose gaze never once fell in her direction.

Did he genuinely find the drink unpalatable, or did he also realize Yun Wanqing had ulterior motives? Was he deliberately trying to help her?

"Mr. Lu," the waiter asked cautiously after finishing tidying up, "what would everyone like to drink?"

Gu Fanyan replied calmly, "Just don't serve mango juice, I'm allergic to it."

Lu Dongjue nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Yun Suiwan withdrew her gaze, wanting to laugh at herself for overthinking.

Aside from this little incident, the meal went fairly smoothly.

After the meal, Yun Suiwan was about to say goodbye to Grandpa Lu when Yun Wanqing spoke up again: "Sister, it's rare for us to get together with Grandpa Lu, let's play a little more chess with him."

"You don't not have time, do you?" Yun Wanqing asked again when she saw Yun Suiwan hesitate.

“Yun’s too busy to play chess with us old men,” Grandpa Lu waved his hand. “Yun, go ahead and do your thing.”

“A game of Go takes a while, but we can always find time for a few games of Gomoku,” Yun Wanqing said, pouting. “Some things aren’t about time, but about how we feel.”

Ha, Yun Wanqing won't give up until she achieves her goal.

Yun Suiwan was almost amused by her. "Grandpa, let's play a few rounds of Gomoku."

She wanted to see what other tricks Yun Wanqing had up her sleeve.

She helped Grandpa Lu to a chess table, and the two sat facing each other.

Grandpa Lu had also seen through Yun Wanqing's ulterior motives and cast a worried look at Yun Suiwan.

Yun Suiwan smiled and shook her head, "Grandpa, you have to be careful, I'm still very good at Gomoku."

Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, Grandpa Lu felt relieved and cooperated.

The chessboard was a square table, with Yun Suiwan and Grandpa Lu occupying two sides. Suddenly, Lu Dongjue sat down to Yun Suiwan's left.

His powerful aura immediately swept over Yun Suiwan, and faintly, she could also smell his familiar scent.

Yun Suiwan's heart trembled uncontrollably.

Grandpa Lu asked in confusion, "Kid, aren't you leaving yet?"

"Fan Yan would like to sit with you for a while," he said in a deep voice.

The shock made Yun Suiwan's head buzz.

Immediately afterwards, the waiter placed a chair next to Lu Dongjue.

Near the end of the year.

Gu Fanyan gracefully sat down, squeezing herself between Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan.

"Yun girl, it's time to make your move." Grandpa Lu's voice came.

Yun Suiwan regained his composure and prepared to make his move.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Yun Wanqing walked over quickly and placed a pot of tea and two small teacups on the table.

“Since it’s a competition, there will be winners and losers,” she suggested. “Whoever loses should drink a cup of tea.”

Lu Dongjue didn't even lift his eyelids: "My grandfather is old and doesn't drink tea after meals."

Yun Wanqing said with a smile, "Brother Dongjue, Grandpa doesn't drink, but my sister can. My sister will definitely be the one to drink the most."

"This is just to add to the fun with tea. How about this, if Grandpa loses, I'll drink it for him."

Good heavens, Yun Wanqing has completely blocked all the way.

Yun Suiwan calmly played a game with Grandpa Lu.

Yun Suiwan won.

Yun Wanqing could only do as she had asked and drink a cup of tea on behalf of her grandfather.

Then, Yun Suiwan won.

We won again.

Keep winning.

...

Yun Wanqing had drunk a lot of tea, and her stomach sloshed around with the slightest movement.

But she appeared normal and moved freely, which made Yun Suiwan a little strange.

Could it be that there's actually nothing wrong with the tea?

While Yun Suiwan was playing chess with Grandpa Lu, the other old men were also enjoying themselves in their own ways.

Grandpa Lu is a VIP customer here, and he often gathers some old friends here for a get-together.

The teahouse also offers many special VIP services for Grandpa Lu.

At this moment, the waiters brought freshly cut fruit to each table.

The fruits used are all top-quality, and the fruit platters are very fresh and juicy.

Yun Suiwan was genuinely thirsty, so she casually forked a small piece of watermelon and put it in her mouth.

“Grandpa,” Lu Dongjue suddenly spoke up, “you eat whatever they send you?”

Yun Suiwan was taken aback, instinctively feeling that Lu Dongjue's words had a deeper meaning.

Grandpa Lu was also taken aback for a moment, and asked in return, "Is there something wrong with the things here?"

Lu Dongjue said, "At home, the food you eat is specially prepared by the housekeeper. From now on, when you dine here, have your family send the ingredients over."

Yun Suiwan swallowed hard. There was a problem, but no problem. Anyway, she had already swallowed the watermelon.

Yun Wanqing glanced at Lu Dongjue and frowned secretly.

What does Lu Dongjue mean?

Seeing and hearing him completely indifferent to Yun Suiwan, I felt it was really getting in my way.

"Dongjue," Gu Fanyan said, "I have some things to take care of at home this afternoon. Let's come and visit Grandpa next time."

As she spoke, she stood up and said, "Grandpa, have fun. I'll come see you again next time."

Grandpa Lu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let Dongjue take you."

Lu Dongjue didn't delay. He got up and led Gu Fanyan through the large private room toward the door.

The two looked well-matched and their intimate expressions attracted many admiring glances.

"Old Lu, your eldest grandson has good taste."

"This girl must come from a good family, she and your eldest grandson are a match made in heaven."

"It won't be long before Old Lu is able to hold his grandson, and he won't have time to play with us old folks anymore."

These old men were all friends that Grandpa Lu made after he got old. They didn't know anything about what was going on in the industry, let alone about Yun Suiwan and Lu Dongjue.

Grandpa Lu chuckled and waved his hand, "Young people these days have so many ideas, who knows if they'll actually work out in the end."

But Yun Suiwan's face turned pale, something seemed wrong.

“Yun girl, you…”

Yun Suiwan suddenly stood up. "Grandpa, I'm going to the restroom."

Watching her hurried departure, Yun Wanqing's lips curled into a cold smile.

There was nothing wrong with the tea.

But it's in fruit.

Trying to guard against me? I'll teach you a lesson you can't defend against.

Yun Wanqing did not leave immediately, but sat and waited for five minutes before getting up and going to the restroom.

Yun Suiwan should have already fainted in the bathroom by now; she just needs to take her away.

The teahouse's open-air parking lot.

Gu Fanyan sat in the car and looked out the window.

Lu Dongjue stood not far away, leisurely smoking.

They had been at the parking lot for a while, but Lu Dongjue wasn't in a hurry to leave. He said that it would be boring to stay in the teahouse all afternoon, so he wanted to have a cigarette first.
