Song Qingyou turned around: "Is there anything else?"

Xu Qingran finally asked what had been troubling her for days: "Why...why won't you see me? I've gone to the Song family's office seven or eight times, and I've even gone to see your boyfriend, but you..."

"Does wanting to see me mean I have to see you?" Song Qingyou curled her lips slightly, as if she had heard something amusing. "Why should I see you? Do we know each other, or are we very close?"

Xu Qingran was stunned: "Huh?"

Song Qingyou said expressionlessly, "We're not even friends, so why should I see you? Or rather, why are you so insistent on seeing me?"

Xu Qingran's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Song Qingyou's eyes were so cold, without a trace of warmth.

She suddenly didn't dare to continue.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Qingran finally spoke up: "Someone wants me to give you something."

"Is that so?" Song Qingyou's expression was indifferent. "Sorry, I'm not interested."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xu Qingran said urgently, "Miss Song, I beg you, she...it's just a jade pendant. I was only doing this for someone else, Miss Song..."

Song Qingyou closed her eyes slightly, slowly turned around, and reached out her hand: "Where are the things?"

Xu Qingran looked at the slender, jade-like fingers in front of her and said softly, "It's in the changing room. My bag is there, and the things are in my bag. I haven't finished get off work yet, so I can't leave here. Can I give them to you after I finish work?"

Song Qingyou nodded: "Mm."

Xu Qingran said excitedly, "Can I add you on WeChat? I'll text you after I get off work."

Song Qingyou hesitated for two seconds before taking out her phone.

Xu Qingran finally got her WeChat account, and her earlier frustration vanished. She stared at Song Qingyou expectantly and said, "I'll contact you later."

"Um."

Seeing that she agreed, Xu Qingran left happily.

Song Qingyou stood still for a few seconds without moving, lost in thought, her eyelids slightly lowered, making it impossible to discern her emotions.

She slowly let out a breath, and as soon as she turned around, she saw that Jiang Xun had already changed his clothes and returned, followed by Yan Miao, who had initially been reluctant to come over.

Song Qingyou paused slightly: "Weren't you not coming?"

Yan Miao ran over with a grin and hugged Song Qingyou's arm: "The people on the first floor are either exchanging pleasantries or talking about things I don't understand. It's much more comfortable being with you guys."

Jiang Xun glanced around: "That girl left?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyou responded with a "Mm".

Jiang Xun clicked her tongue: "I thought she was really planning to pay up."

As Song Qingyou walked, she said, "I'll pay for her skirt."

Jiang Xun looked at her with surprise: "I didn't know you were a philanthropist. This is quite different from the Song Qingyou I usually know."

Song Qingyou didn't reply, but Yan Miao couldn't hold back any longer. She was completely confused: "What are you talking about? What dress, what money to lose, what philanthropist?"

Jiang Xun succinctly explained: "A waiter dirtied my dress and said he would pay for it. But when he heard the price, he was so scared that he only dared to say he would wash it for me. And then, your good friend Song Qingyou took pity on me and said she would pay for the dress herself."

In Yan Miao's eyes, Song Qingyou has always been a kind and innocent girl. When she was in college, Song Qingyou would feed the stray cats on campus, patiently answer questions for classmates who didn't understand the topics, and even make PPTs for them. She would even give all the money she had to beggars on the street.

Yan Miao once said that all beggars nowadays are liars, and that she had been scammed last time.

Song Qingyou just smiled and said, "Maybe it's true."

Yan Miao immediately decided that Song Qingyou was her friend.

Moreover, Song Qingyou has always been involved in charity work. Even during the most difficult months for the Song family, as far as Yan Miao knows, she did not stop making regular monthly donations to the mountainous areas.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Song Qingyou to help the waiter lose money in Yan Miao's eyes.

She said casually, "Qingyou is a kind person, but I'm afraid some people will take advantage of her kindness."

Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow, carefully examined Song Qingyou, and clicked his tongue in amazement: "I really didn't know you were such a kind person."

She remembered that back in Binhai, Song Qingyou was not kind at all to her stepbrother.

Song Qingyou helped Xu Qingran not out of kindness, but she didn't explain much. She happened to walk to Fu Wenzhou's room, the door was ajar, and the sounds inside could be heard clearly from outside.

"See this? This earring of mine, wow, it's worth a full three billion. Yes, it was a gift from my wife."

Fu Wenzhou leaned back in his chair, his long legs crossed, showing off his earrings to the group of people in the room.

Seeing the envious looks from these single guys, Fu Wenzhou was quite satisfied and got more and more excited as he spoke: "Now I have a curfew every night. Not only that, my wife won't let me smoke. She controls everything about me. Even if I play cards with you guys, I have to report to her first. Do you know why?"

"have no idea."

Fu Wenzhou said smugly, "That's because she loves me! Women are possessive and jealous, so it's understandable that she keeps a close eye on me. But you guys definitely wouldn't understand, since you don't have girlfriends."

"Song Qingyou actually loves you this much?"

Fu Wenzhou pointed to his leg: "When my wife saw that my leg was injured, she cried so hard. The injury is on my body, but the pain is in her heart!"

"Hey Wenzhou, I saw your WeChat Moments post about your successful proposal. One of the pictures was your WeChat profile picture. If I remember correctly, you've been using that picture for five or six years now. So that back view is Song Qingyou?"
