After hearing Shen Zhi Qiu's words, Si Ming Yu's gaze became extremely dull. He seemed to have lost all his strength, sitting there numbly, only blinking occasionally.
"Don't bother my sister anymore, or I won't hold back." Rong Mo stood up, his face tense, and said to Si Mingyu with a cold look in his eyes.
"Clap clap clap," a few minutes later, a burst of applause suddenly rang out from the corner.
Fu Jingran, wearing a black baseball cap, came out of the second-floor restroom.
"Wow, she really is the most affectionate person in the South City! Haha."
Fu Jingran clapped his hands and walked out with a grin.
Si Mingyu looked at him with some surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"Hehe, you're allowed to stay here, but I can't come and try something new?"
Fu Jingran pulled his baseball cap down further, covering most of his face, and sat down opposite Si Mingyu, casually resting his hands on the armrests of the chair, looking quite comfortable.
"What do you want to do?" Si Mingyu looked at him with hostility, instinctively feeling that Fu Jingran was not going to do anything good.
"I'm not doing anything," Fu Jingran said, taking a small, upside-down teacup, pouring himself a cup of hot tea, and taking a sip.
Seeing that Si Mingyu didn't speak, Fu Jingran leaned closer and said mysteriously:
"I bribed one of Rong Mo's bodyguards to drug Gu Qingyan, making him suffer a bit, hehe."
"How does that make you feel? Are you feeling a bit better now?"
“You…” Si Mingyu pursed his lips, considering how to answer.
"Oh, if you feel better, just say so." Fu Jingran pursed his lips and sat back down indifferently. "I'm different from you people. I don't have so many rules or such strong moral concepts."
Gu Qingyan annoyed me, so I sent out the invitations and then canceled the engagement, losing face in front of everyone.
I only feel better if I make him pay a price.
I'm the kind of person who always seeks revenge!
Si Mingyu frowned slightly, a serious look flashing across his previously blank face, and he pursed his lips.
Fu Jingran sneered, looking at Si Mingyu with a mocking expression, "What? Do you think I'm too ruthless?!"
Si Mingyu, go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. Look at yourself in this pathetic state. If I were Shen Zhi Qiu, I wouldn't choose you either.
What are you trying to achieve by making yourself look like this? Are you trying to soften Shen Zhi Qiu's heart by looking so miserable?
Save your breath!
If I were you, hehe.
As he spoke, Fu Jingran leaned closer and lowered his voice, saying, "Think about it. Right now, you're competing with Lu Jia, whom you spend every day with, and Gu Qingyan, the biological father of your child."
What do you have?
You have nothing, how could you possibly beat them?
Even if Lu Jia isn't by Shen Zhi Qiu's side anymore, are you sure you can outmaneuver Gu Qing Yan, that donkey?
Seeing Si Mingyu's brows furrowing more and more, Fu Jingran curled the corners of his lips and said with a cold smile, "So, we need to solve the problem at hand first."
Imagine if Lu Jia and Gu Qingyan both died?
You suddenly appeared when Shen Zhi Qiu was at her most vulnerable. What do you think will happen?
Back then, Gu Qingyan only took advantage of a loophole, didn't he?
If it was possible back then, it's possible now. Besides, you two have a past relationship.
What do you want to do?
Si Mingyu was clearly tempted by Fu Jingran's words. He swallowed and tentatively asked a question, but then looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Never mind, forget I asked."
"Heh, interesting. Still putting on airs at a time like this. Fine, if you don't want to get involved, I'll only target Gu Qingyan. After all, I don't have any major grudges against Lu Jia."
"When Shen Zhi Qiu and Lu Jia get married later, remember to go!"
Fu Jingran stood up leisurely, looked at Si Mingyu with a mocking expression, and said with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Si Mingyu's expression gradually faded, and he stared blankly at Fu Jingran, his heart churning with conflicting emotions.
Just as Fu Jingran adjusted his hat and prepared to leave, Si Mingyu seemed to have made up his mind. He grabbed Fu Jingran's coat and said in a low voice, "Wait."

“We won’t be coming here anytime soon. If you want some Western food, I’ll take you somewhere else. It’ll save us from running into people we don’t want to see and ruining our appetite.” Rong Mo said coldly as he drove home.
“Okay.” Shen Zhi Qiu sighed and answered softly.
"Are you tired?" Lu Jia gently pulled her head to rest on his shoulder and patted her back softly, as if comforting a child.
"It's alright." Shen Zhi Qiu adjusted her posture, letting her weight fall on Lu Jia. "It's just that we hadn't finished the dessert yet. I still have more than half a cup of mango pomelo sago left."
"Shall we go buy another cup?" Lu Jia smiled and hugged Shen Zhi Qiu even tighter. "I saw online that there's an old-fashioned dessert shop that makes really good mango pomelo sago. It's right on our way home, so let's grab a cup on the way?"
"Then you keep an eye on the road for a while, and I'll stop when we get there."
Rong Mo chuckled, feeling a bit better. He had been worried that Shen Zhi Qiu would be unhappy because she had met Si Ming Yu, but he hadn't expected her to still be thinking about the dessert she hadn't finished. It seemed that his younger sister was quite easygoing and hadn't been greatly affected.
“That shop is right across the street. We can park here and walk over to buy it,” Lu Jia suddenly said, pointing to an old shop on the opposite street corner.
"So many people?" Shen Zhi Qiu peeked out and was surprised to see the long queue on the other side.
"Yeah, it's so delicious that there's always a long line every day," Lu Jia said with a smile, looking down at Shen Zhi Qiu. "Do you want to come with me? Or should I buy some to take home?"
“Let’s go together.” Shen Zhi Qiu was eager to try. “I’ll go see if there’s anything else good to eat and buy it to take home.”
As they were talking, Rong Mo's phone rang.
Rong Mo took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Mu Ziqi.
"I'll take this work call and then come find you." Not wanting to spoil Shen Zhi Qiu's good mood, Rong Mo said to Shen Zhi Qiu with a smile.
“Okay, Lu Jia can come with me.” Shen Zhi Qiu got out of the car with a smile and walked towards the dessert shop with Lu Jia.
Seeing the long queue, Lu Jia suggested, "How about I help you find a seat first? You can order and then I'll join the queue while you rest?"
“Alright.” Shen Zhi Qiu nodded.
"I'd like a cup of mango pomelo sago, a cup of hot almond paste, a cup of ginger milk curd..." Shen Zhi Qiu ordered several cups in a row, "We'll also bring one back for Aunt Zhao and the others."
"Zhi Qiu?"
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind with a smile.
