Yu Xinyu was about to refuse with a smile when she heard this.

Cen Yu, who was eager to create opportunities for the main characters, interrupted them, saying, "That's perfect, we don't have a car to go back yet."

As he was saying this, he noticed Qiang Yuanqing coming out of the room and nodding to the group.

Pei Zhe arrived at the same time, also dressed in new clothes. Whether it was to curry favor with Lou Baichuan or something else, he was wearing a brand under the Lou family.

Lou Baichuan glanced at it once and then looked away.

Pei Zhe greeted Cen Yu with a nod, then his gaze fell on Yu Xinyu beside Cen Yu…

Since he knew Yu Jinheng, he was naturally very familiar with her beloved younger brother.

He never expected that Cen Yu would actually be with Yu Xinyu!

But then he remembered the rumors he had heard at some parties—

It is said that Yu Xinyu is love-struck and has fallen in love with a poor young man from a humble background. She is so infatuated with him that she is acting like she is dying. Yu Jinheng does not want to disappoint his younger brother, so he lets the other man go and waits for Yu Xinyu to get tired of him before making any decisions.

Therefore, everyone knows that Yu Jinheng dislikes Cen Yu very much.

Pei Zhe's heart skipped a beat at this thought, feeling as if he had found a breakthrough, but unexpectedly, he heard a familiar voice—

"...Why isn't anyone coming in?" the man following behind Qiang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Seemingly because he wasn't feeling well, he coughed a few more times before saying to everyone, "Come in, everyone, the food is ready."

Cen Yu stared at the familiar, sickly man, almost frozen in place. He looked at him in disbelief, so he didn't notice Yu Xinyu's suddenly darkening gaze or her feigned surprise and exclamation—

"Big brother, when did you arrive?"
