Inside the private room.
Zhao Xinyan kept asking Ye Huanhuan all sorts of questions, always subtly probing how she and Tang Yi met and inquiring about Tang Yi's preferences.
Whenever Ye Huanhuan gave her an expression that indicated she didn't want to talk to her, Zhao Xinyan's eyes would immediately well up with tears, and she would look at her with a pitiful expression, which annoyed Ye Huanhuan.
Wang Shuyao couldn't stand it anymore and said speechlessly, "Zhao Xinyan, can you please stop asking? You keep calling him 'Brother Yi,' do you like his husband?"
Zhao Xinyan's secret was exposed, and her face froze instantly. Wang Shuyao rolled her eyes at her and continued:
"Is it necessary for you to ask so many questions? He already has a wife. What, do you want to be a mistress and interfere in his relationship?"
Zhao Xinyan was, after all, just over twenty years old. Her family had never spoken a harsh word to her since she was little. Suddenly subjected to Wang Shuyao's blatant mockery, she immediately felt wronged, tears streaming down her face as she kept saying:
"Sister Shuyao, I didn't... I was just curious..."
Wang Shuyao remained unmoved and sneered, "Zhao Xinyan, stop pretending to be pitiful. I hate green tea bitches like you the most!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinyan stopped crying abruptly, her face showing a look of astonishment and anger, as if she hadn't expected to be so directly called a "green tea bitch."
Wang Shuyao gave her no chance to catch her breath and continued, "Let me tell you, Ye Huanhuan is my good friend, and Tang Yi is already married to her. You'd better not try anything with my friend's husband! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhao Xinyan bit her lip, her body trembling slightly. She raised her head and defended herself:
"Sister Shuyao, I didn't want to be a third party. I just... I just see Tang Yi as an older brother."
"Heh, treat him like an older brother?"
Wang Shuyao looked disdainful. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas, or I won't let you off the hook."
Ye Huanhuan was surprised that Wang Shuyao would stand up for her, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in her heart.
Just then, Zhao Xinran entered from outside. Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the private room, she immediately asked Zhao Xinyan:
"What's wrong? Xinyan, why are you crying?"
Zhao Xinyan sobbed softly without saying a word, only shaking her head.
"Shuyao, what happened?" Zhao Xinran turned to look at Wang Shuyao.
Wang Shuyao shrugged. "How would I know? Maybe your sister thought the snack was too delicious, which is why she cried like this."
Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Wang Shuyao's nonsensical ramblings.
Zhao Xinran naturally didn't believe this absurd reason, but Ye Huanhuan hadn't drunk the juice yet, and she didn't want to fall out with the two of them for the time being. She immediately comforted Zhao Xinyan:
"Alright, Xinyan, stop crying. I don't need to guess to know that you must have said something you shouldn't have, which upset Shuyao. Quickly apologize to Huanhuan and Shuyao, and this matter will be over, understand?"
Zhao Xinyan felt extremely wronged. Zhao Xinran, as her own sister, not only didn't speak up for her, but also made her apologize to that bitch Ye Huanhuan again. This was simply too much!
She hadn't planned to go out at all today, but she agreed to come along because Zhao Xinran said she could teach Ye Huanhuan a lesson.
She hasn't even been taught a lesson yet, and she's already apologized twice in a huff. How can she possibly tolerate this?
Seeing that Zhao Xinyan was about to lose her temper, Zhao Xinran quickly grabbed her arm and secretly gave her a "don't worry" look.
Despite her reluctance, Zhao Xinyan obediently apologized to Wang Shuyao and Ye Huanhuan.
Ye Huanhuan didn't say much, but Wang Shuyao mocked her:
"I'm advising some people not to keep thinking about other women's husbands; it's wrong. I'm letting it slide because you're young, but if you have these inappropriate thoughts again, don't blame me for embarrassing you in public!"
Zhao Xinyan was furious. She wanted to jump up and slap Wang Shuyao, but Zhao Xinyan kept holding her back, making it impossible for her to retaliate.
Just then, the waiter brought over four glasses of juice, placed them in front of the four people, and then left the private room.
Seeing the awkward situation, Zhao Xinran quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Oh dear, it's all a misunderstanding. Shuyao, we've known each other for so long, we see each other all the time, so please say less. Also, niece-in-law, you've just arrived in the capital, and as your aunt, I haven't been very hospitable. If you need anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you solve it."
As she spoke, she picked up the juice and continued, "We're all friends, and it's not easy for us to get together. Let's have a drink together."
Ye Huanhuan thought Zhao Xinran's words made a lot of sense, so without thinking too much about it, she also raised her juice.
Although Wang Shuyao was somewhat reluctant, she still lifted it up.
Only Zhao Xinyan remained sulking, sitting motionless. Zhao Xinran gently nudged her and whispered:
"Hurry up and raise your glass, stop being so stubborn."
Zhao Xinyan pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Oh, Xinyan, don't be so stubborn."
Zhao Xinran continued to persuade, "We're all friends, there's no need to get angry over such a small thing."
"But……"
Zhao Xinyan wanted to say something more, but when she saw Zhao Xinran wink at her, she finally gave in.
She slowly raised her glass, looking at Ye Huanhuan across from her with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. Ye Huanhuan, however, looked at her with a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened.
"Come on! Cheers!" Zhao Xinran shouted happily.
The four of them simultaneously drank the juice in their glasses, and the atmosphere instantly eased considerably.
