Qiu Hu's rare outburst of anger was something A Yi had rarely seen before, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
He glanced again at the strange woman beside him; she didn't seem like a kind person.
Qiu Hu ignored her and kept staring at the woman in front of him, looking like he wouldn't let her off easily.
"I didn't mean to." Zhu Yumeng didn't expect things to turn out this way.
She was having dinner with friends at the restaurant when she ran into Ning Yizhan leading Qiu Hu in. Her steps faltered as she tried to rush over, her excitement quickly turning to jealousy. She immediately changed her demeanor, walking slowly towards him. After calling his name, she pretended to twist her ankle and lunged at him, hoping he would catch her. However, he dodged in time. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a waiter carrying hot soup, and the hot soup spilled on his hands.
"Hiss," he gritted his teeth and shook his hand, trying to cool it down, but it was no use. Qiu Hu pushed him to the bathroom.
Zhu Yumeng stood there stunned, startled. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Before she could even feel scared, Qiu Hu had already come out menacingly.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you? Pretending to have impure thoughts and pounce on him?"
Zhu Yumeng was startled and stunned for a moment before realizing how embarrassing it was. However, she wasn't stupid and denied it, saying, "No."
"Still denying it? Should we check the security footage?"
Zhu Yumeng was speechless.
"You think you're so great? Who gave you the audacity to covet my man!"
Zhu Yumeng thought, what does "his man" mean? Yi Zhan will be hers sooner or later. She blurted out, "What do you mean 'your man'? Does Yi Zhan know what you'd say?" "Do you know who I am? I grew up with Yi Zhan. We're childhood sweethearts!"
"Ha, I really don't know who you are, and you'd better make him tell me he isn't."
"Enough!" Ning Yizhan walked over quickly, his wounds already bandaged, a dark cloud hanging over his eyes.
Zhu Yumeng thought Ning Yizhan was talking about Qiu Hu, and she was secretly delighted.
Before she could even feel happy, the man continued to reprimand her in his icy tone, "Zhu Yumeng, how dare you show your face again? Wasn't I clear enough last time?"
Before her smile could even appear, Ning Yizhan's words forced her to swallow it back. So, he was talking about her!
Faced with Ning Yizhan's accusation, she didn't know how to refute it. Her mouth opened but she couldn't say anything until she saw his bandaged hand. She asked timidly, "I'm sorry, Brother Yizhan, is your hand alright?"
"Please leave!" Ning Yizhan said sternly.
Ning Yizhan's words were like a knife to her heart. "How could you do this to me!" Then, she covered her mouth and ran away without Ning Yizhan even glancing at her.
She ran back to the dining table, where her friends comforted her, saying, "Yumeng, don't cry... it's not worth it."
"With your talent, who wouldn't like you!"
...She only stopped crying after Ning Yizhan and the others had gone far away and a waiter came up to her. The people at the table were surprised by her change, realizing that their attempts to comfort her had been in vain.
Ning Yizhan was even more annoyed by Zhu Yumeng's annoying crying. Why would someone cry so loudly? His ears were disturbed, so he grabbed Qiu Hu and walked away quickly.
When they went up to the second floor of the restaurant, A-Yi specifically asked a waiter for help, pointed to Zhu Yumeng's seat, and said with a smile and politeness, "Your guest is too noisy, could you please handle it?"
"Okay, I'm sorry, miss, I'll take care of it right away." The waiter was very perceptive; seeing that Ayi had come in with Ning Yizhan, he was sure he would handle it for her.
"Thanks!"
The waiter approached Zhu Yumeng and politely said, "Miss, your crying is disturbing our other guests. Please control your volume!"
"..."
Looking at the result, A-Yi went upstairs with satisfaction. As he entered the private room, he saw Qiu Hu asking Ning Yizhan about his hand, "How's your hand? Should we go to the hospital?"
"No need, Ah Hu, it's not serious," Ning Yizhan said. He had just seen the burn on his hand and it wasn't too serious.
"Alright then!"
"Ah Hu, did that woman say anything just now?" Ning Yizhan was still quite concerned about what Qiu Hu would think.
"I told her, she said you two are childhood sweethearts," Qiu Hu answered truthfully.
"No, that's not it. She came with Shao Jin and the others before, and we didn't really have much fun. Although she kept bothering me, I ignored her. If it weren't for the Shao family, I wouldn't even know who she was. Ning Yijia had more contact with her. Plus, I've always been busy since I was little, so I never had time to play. Later, I went abroad and we lost contact completely. I don't know why she's bothering me again now that I'm back." Ning Yizhan said all this in front of Qiu Hu and everyone else.
Before Qiu Hu could react after hearing this, Xiang Gexuan, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, reacted first, letting out a sigh. "Alas! He's been so much better to that scoundrel Shang Ji."
Hearing Xiang Gexuan's sigh, Qiu Hu asked with disdain, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong! He's fine, unlike Shang Ji. We're finally divorced!"
Ah Yi, who talks a lot, reacted the most, "What? You two are divorced?"
Even Ning Yizhan, who always maintained a cold and indifferent attitude in front of others, was surprised that Shang Ji agreed to this.
Qiu Hu remained calm, asking, "Have you all made up your minds?"
"I've made up my mind. Anyway, it's all over now, there's nothing to continue..." Xiang Gexuan's emotions were too calm, as if he were stating something that had happened a long time ago.
Everyone present knew she was very sad, but she just didn't show it.
"Once you've made up your mind, what are your plans?" Shuzi empathized with him; she knew that what was needed most at this time was to let go and cheer up.
