"Yingying." Lin Nianxi bit her lip, her resentment growing stronger. "Should we tell the truth?"

Ji Fuying shook her head and looked at her calmly: "No, even if the truth is exposed one day, it shouldn't be us who expose it. After so many years of relationship, I can't go that far. I'd be happy to see her doing well, but she was just too radical."

“That’s true. If we did that, how would we be any different from her? I don’t want to become like her.”

"You're right to think that way. Everyone has the right to choose, and we can only respect that. If she wants to distance herself, then we should distance ourselves from her."

"Hmm, now that you mention it, my anger has subsided a lot. I'm actually a little hungry now because I didn't eat enough earlier."

"Let's go get something to eat. What would you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine. I want to turn my grief and anger into strength and have a big feast."

The two paid their bill and walked out of the coffee shop. Just as they were about to hail a taxi, a black Maybach in the distance suddenly flashed its high beams.

Ji Yan had been waiting in the car for a long time, following Ji Fuying ever since she stormed out in anger.

He didn't dare to go in and disturb them until he saw her and Lin Nianxi enter the coffee shop and knew that the two girls must have something to talk about.

Now that they've both walked out so calmly, it seems like everything's alright.

Ji Fuying glanced at the black car and sighed, "Niannian, do you mind if I bring one more person?"

Lin Nianxi patted her shoulder generously, "Of course I don't mind. Losing Yun Yao is nothing compared to having another new sister. I'd be more than happy to do that."

Half an hour later, the person who said she would be happy could no longer be happy. She never dreamed that the so-called new sister would be the icy Ji Yan.

Now that's it, she can't even eat anymore. She nudged the person next to her who was eating voraciously, "I'm breaking up with you too. Is this what you meant by 'bring someone along'?"

Ji Fuying bit into a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and glanced at Ji Yan with a frustrated expression. Where did she go wrong? Was Ji Yan not alone?

She slowly spat out the ribs. "You said a long time ago that you wanted to see him, and now that you've seen him, you're blaming me. You fickle woman."

Lin Nianxi gave a fake laugh, then gritted her teeth and said, "That was something we talked about in high school. How can it be the same as now?"

"Since you're already here, you should eat something. It would be embarrassing if you ate two meals out and then had to ask the servants to cook you snacks when you got back."

"You..." That's right. She was angry, but she couldn't be too hard on herself. So for the next half hour, Lin Nianxi ate more attentively than anyone else.

After dinner, Ji Yan and Ji Fuying first took her back to the Lin residence before driving back to Cloud Top.

On the way, Ji Yan held the steering wheel, but his gaze fell on Ji Fuying. "Yingying, you seem to know that Lu family's daughter who was just found very well."

"Well, we've had a great relationship since college, I never expected..." Her expression suddenly turned very forlorn. It would probably be awkward if they met again in the future.

It would be a lie to say I'm not sad. They used to talk about being each other's bridesmaids, but now it seems impossible.

"Is she really the daughter of the Lu family?"

A barely perceptible shadow crossed Ji Yan's eyes. If that were really the case, then...

"I don't know, but I guess so. We've already done a paternity test, haven't we?"

Ji Fuying was certain that Yun Yao was not the daughter of the Lu family, but what about that paternity test? Surely the report couldn't be faked?

The next day at noon.

Ji Fuying declined Ji Yan's offer and prepared to have dinner with Xu Nuo and the others. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she suddenly received a call from Lu Ci.

"Hey, Fuying, do you have a moment? I want to ask you something."

She gripped her phone tightly, hesitating. Lu Ci must have asked her out to ask about Yun Yao. Could she tell the truth?

"I'm probably fine..."

As if guessing her doubts, Lu Ci quickly interrupted her, "It won't take long, just half an hour, okay?"

Having said all that, Ji Fuying felt too embarrassed to refuse any longer, so she could only say, "Okay, then send me the address."

After hanging up the phone, she smiled ingratiatingly at the three people who were waiting for her, "I'll join you next time, something urgent came up today."

Li Xiaole was immediately displeased. "What? I finally managed to snatch it from President Ji, and it's been taken away again before I could even enjoy it."

"It's okay, you go ahead if you have something to do, we can eat together next time." After saying that, Xu Nuo grabbed one of them by the hand and led them to the cafeteria.

Ji Fuying found the place Lu Ci had arranged according to the address. As soon as she entered, a waiter came over and led her to the private room where Lu Ci was.

"Fuying, you're here." Seeing her walk in, Lu Ci quickly stood up and pulled out a chair for her. "Sit down, what would you like to eat?"

"I'm easygoing, you can arrange it however you like."

After spending some time together, Lu Ci had begun to discern her preferences. When the waiter brought out the dishes, the entire table was almost entirely filled with seafood.

Ji Fuying bit her lip in embarrassment. It was all seafood. Could he really eat it?

"Lu Ci, is there something you wanted to see me about today?"

"You eat first, we can talk after you finish eating, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Lu Ci peeled a large shrimp and put it in her bowl.

"Okay." This time she ate very quickly, and was full in about ten minutes.

Lu Ci, on the other hand, kept peeling shrimp and dismantling crabs for her, as if he himself hadn't eaten much.
