No longer talking about Xu Shiqing, everyone started playing cards and the atmosphere became harmonious again.
There weren't many people in the box to begin with, not even enough for two card games, so there were just Xu Nanzhi, Zhang Hao, and the two people who had just spoken.
Bai Yiyi sat behind Xu Nanzhi.
After a few rounds, Xu Nanzhi could be said to have won continuously, and the others who lost were a little depressed.
After losing several rounds in a row, one of them looked at the few remaining chips in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Nanzhi, you're amazing! You really are worthy of being the top student you used to be. Not only are you good at studying, but you're also good at playing cards."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone nearby laughed and said, "This is the difference between a top student and a poor student. Haven't you noticed that Nan Zhi counts the cards while playing, while you all only care about the immediate gains and losses?"
As soon as these words came out, the person who had just spoken spoke up: "Nanzhi, how come you're counting cards just for fun? Even if you have a good brain, you can't use it like this, right?"
Xu Nanzhi smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm used to it."
He touched a card and then pushed the one in front of him: "Sorry, I lost again."
After saying that, Xu Nanzhi smiled sweetly, which made everyone dazed.
Then, she looked at the time on her phone and said, "Sorry everyone, it's getting late. I'll be leaving first."
He pushed the chips in front of him and said, "It's just entertainment, forget it, let's make an appointment again when we have time."
Xu Nanzhi stood up, and Bai Yiyi followed suit: "Zizi, I'll go with you."
Seeing Xu Nanzhi about to leave, a few people who were still not satisfied said: "What time is it now? Nanzhi is playing for a while."
Xu Nanzhi shook his head: "Next time, I have something to do tomorrow, let's make an appointment next time."
Then he looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Zhang Hao, today is the day your bar opens. Congratulations. I came in a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts. I'll make it up to you next time."
As he said that, he walked towards the door. Seeing that Xu Nanzhi insisted, no one stopped him.
After the two of them left, the others in the box spoke again: "I really didn't expect Xu Nanzhi to come back."
Another person chimed in, "Yeah, her breakup caused a lot of uproar back then, and then she left the country straight away. It's a pity."
As soon as this was said, someone followed up, "Not necessarily. With that person's current status, Nan Zhi might not be worthy of him. Besides, I heard that the Xu family is interested in forming a marriage alliance with the Su family. Although Nan Zhi is not bad, her family background is not as good as that of Xu Shiqing."
"Indeed, unless she is from Bai Yiyi's family. But it's strange why Bai Yiyi is so hostile to the Xu family. Their two families are not competitors."
"After all, Bai Yiyi is also Nan Zhi's friend. It would be strange if their relationship is good."
"That's right."
Watching the discussion, Zhang Hao, who knew the relationship between Xu Nanzhi and the Xu family, said, "Alright, stop talking behind her back. Nanzhi is our classmate after all. Besides, we don't know the truth about what happened back then."
Outside the bar, Bai Yiyi spoke with a look of resentment: "These people have no good intentions. If I had known, I wouldn't have called you. I wanted to take you out for some fun, but who would have thought that such a terrible thing would happen."
Seeing her angry expression, Xu Nanzhi smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if it's not today, it will be inevitable later."
Bai Yiyi knew she was right, but she was still upset: "I know, but I got angry when I saw their pitiful expressions. What's the matter? Do you think Su Yanqing is a member of the Su family now?"
"You're all a bunch of low-brow people. Su Yanqing was a poor boy when she was still Yanqing, but you didn't look down on her. You even refused to let me know your identity so that you could date her. Everyone thought your family was just running a small business in Yuncheng."
"Later, Su Yanqing was a piece of shit. He said it in a high-sounding way. When you broke up with the Xu family, he returned to the Su family and even attended the banquet with Xu Shiqing."
"If you ask me, it's true that birds of a feather flock together. They're all mistresses, so they have such a good relationship."
Bai Yiyi was starting to talk without thinking at the end, so Xu Nanzhi stopped her: "Yiyi, shut up."
"We know these things, but don't say them out loud. Words can cause trouble."
"Also, I'm not a big spender. I just haven't started the liquidation yet. Don't worry, you know my temper. It's just that the timing is wrong."
Bai Yiyi stopped talking after hearing what Xu Nanzhi said: "Ziji, I, I."
"I know you're doing this for my own good." Xu Nanzhi took over.
"I never disliked Su Yanqing when I was with him, and I never regretted breaking up. Now, he's just a passing stranger to me."
"The two of us are simply not suitable for each other. To some extent, we haven't seen each other clearly. Our future interactions will only be in the business world, so there's no need to keep clinging to it."
"As for the Xu family today, we'll just have to wait and see, Yiyi."
When Bai Yiyi heard Xu Nanzhi say this, she opened her mouth but said nothing more.
In fact, in the years since Nan Zhi left, as one of the few people who knew the inside story of everything, Bai Yiyi never had a good face towards Su Yanqing at various banquets or other occasions where they had interactions.
Now, Su Yanqing has shed his former college airs and immaturity, and has become a well-known figure in the business world.
As optimistic about the pair as Xu Nanzhi and Su Yanqing were at the beginning, he now resents Su Yanqing as much. When Nanzhi needed him the most, he went out with Xu Shiqing together, and said that it was all arranged by his family and that he had no say since he had just returned.
Xu Nanzhi looked at Bai Yiyi's expression and knew that she was thinking about those things again. He raised his hand and smiled, "Okay, don't think about it. Your driver should be here soon. Give me a ride."
"Of course." Bai Yiyi responded with a raised eyebrow.
The two got in the car, and Xu Nanzhi gave the address. The driver was Bai Yiyi's elderly family member. He felt the voice was familiar, and when he looked back, he was surprised: "Miss Zhi?"
"Um, Uncle Zhang, it's me."
Uncle Zhang had been with the Bai family for over ten years, and Xu Nanzhi had ridden in his car quite often before, so the two of them were quite familiar with each other. After chatting for a few minutes, he stopped talking when he saw Xu Nanzhi looked a little sleepy.
Uncle Zhang drove very steadily and soon arrived at Xu Nanzhi's residence, an apartment in the city center. He got out of the car and waved to Bai Yiyi.
Xu Nanzhi took the elevator upstairs alone. She had drunk some wine tonight and was feeling sleepy. After arriving at the apartment, she washed up and went straight to bed.
Maybe he was too sleepy, he didn't even notice the message sent by Wen Yan, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
Xu Nanzhi slept soundly that night without any dreams. If it weren't for the alarm clock and the phone ringing the next morning, she might have slept for a while longer.
