Knowing that her daughter had no interest in Yang Yu, Madam Xing answered very tactfully. After all, they were old acquaintances, and some things couldn't be said too directly. She couldn't very well say, "My daughter doesn't like your son, so just give up on him."
Her answer, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings," made it very clear that whether the two children could ultimately be together depended entirely on their own thoughts and choices, and at least she and Minggao would not interfere.
Although a birthday banquet had been held during the day, the two families sat together in the evening, making it a particularly lively occasion. Yang Yu drank some wine amidst the banter between President Yang and Xing Minggao. However, when the wine glass was placed in front of Xing Fei, she waved her hand and declined.
"I have work tonight."
Lin Que is coming to pick her up later, and she's feeling down and wants to drink.
Everyone knows that Xing Fei has already secured a place in ZN Group at such a young age. In addition, Ji Zhinan thinks highly of her and often entrusts her with important projects. President Yang chuckled and said, "Work is still the most important thing. It's good for a girl not to drink."
Soon the dinner table became lively again. Xing Minggao and General Manager Yang talked about work between men, while Yang Yu occasionally made a few perfunctory remarks. Madam Xing and Madam Yang kept Old Madam Yang company.
Xing Fei rarely said a word; when she wasn't called upon, she would quietly play on her phone.
Near the end of the meal, she suddenly stood up, said, "I'm going to the restroom," and left, but actually went somewhere to make a phone call.
She wasn't lying; she did have a job, and her staff had already sent the compiled documents to her email.
"I received it. I'll take a look when I have time. I'll send you the results before noon tomorrow."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xing Fei turned her head and saw a figure walking with a slight stagger appear in her line of sight.
She paused, looking at the person walking towards her, and asked, "Why are you out here?"
Slightly drunk from the alcohol, Yang Yu's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Hearing Xing Fei's words, he smiled and curled his lips: "Come out and sober up."
"Oh." Xing Fei nodded. "Then... I'll head back now?"
After carefully saying this, Xing Fei was about to go back.
"Xiao Fei!"
Suddenly, someone behind her called out to her. Xing Fei turned her head in confusion and saw him staring intently at her, his eyes shining with a light more intense than ever before.
"……What's wrong?"
He stared intently at her, remaining silent for a full minute before saying, "There are some things I want to tell you."
Xing Fei pursed her lips: "But you don't seem to be in a very good state right now."
"I know, but I still want to say it now."
He feared that once he sobered up, he wouldn't have the courage he had now.
Perhaps there's a saying that's true: people do have a sixth sense. For example, right now, even though Yang Yu hasn't said anything yet, just by looking at his serious expression and tone, she already has some ideas in her mind.
The idea she least wanted to become a reality.
She sighed softly and looked at Yang Yu: "I understand. Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."
There were some things that hadn't been clearly explained before, so there were certain things she couldn't say. Now that she was ready to be honest, she might as well be decisive and have a thorough talk.
Yang Yu stared at her, pursed his lips, and then slowly said.
"I remember the first time I saw you was in the school corridor. You seemed to be in a bad mood, just looking down and immersed in your own world, not paying attention to what was in front of you..."
