Zhou Yuerou smiled awkwardly and coughed a few times to cover herself up: "Oh, I ate a lot of greasy food at school, so I want to eat something light today."
Xie Shizhu smiled but didn't expose her.
The dishes were served, and Zhou Yuerou happily talked about what happened at school while eating.
Xie Shizhu didn't talk much, but he nodded in response every time.
Halfway through the meal, Zhou Yuerou quietly went outside to pay the bill on the pretext of going to the restroom. When she found the waiter, he politely said that someone had already paid.
Zhou Yuerou was startled and subconsciously asked, "Excuse me, who bought it?"
The waiter smiled slightly and pointed at two people at the door. One of the men was in a suit and was on the phone, while the other man looked around until he saw Zhou Yuerou. The man opened his eyes wide and greeted Zhou Yuerou enthusiastically.
Zhou Yuerou responded with a faint smile.
The man on the phone just glanced at her, then casually looked away and continued talking on the phone.
Zhou Yuerou was very surprised. Isn’t this Jiang Yuhuai and Song Yao?
While she was shocked, Xie Shizhu had finished his meal and was walking towards her.
Jiang Yuhuai, who was on the phone just now, looked at Xie Shizhu with burning eyes.
Xie Shizhu only noticed Zhou Yuerou. She asked curiously, "You didn't pay the bill secretly, did you?"
Zhou Yuerou shook her head. "I didn't buy it. Jiang Yuhuai bought it."
After she finished speaking, she pointed outside. The two people who were there had disappeared.
Xie Shizhu looked in the direction of her fingertips, but there was nothing there. "Don't talk nonsense just to pay the bill secretly. If you do this again next time, I won't treat you to a meal."
Zhou Yuerou was stunned and hurried to explain, but she stopped at her words. After all, Jiang Yuhuai and Song Yao had already left, so no matter what she said, it would be in vain.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Zhou Yuerou smiled helplessly, took Xie Shizhu's arm affectionately, and invited him warmly, "The driver is here, come to my house and play for a while. My dad recently installed a private theater for me. Let's go watch a movie together."
Xie Shizhu hesitated for a moment, "But, Zhou Yuan and I have been..."
Zhou Yuerou naturally knew about the online incident. She sighed and said, "Never mind her. I've wanted to tell you this for a long time. She doesn't consider you a friend. We are good friends."
Xie Shizhu nodded reluctantly: "Okay, let's go."
After getting in the car, Xie Shizhu and Zhou Yuerou sat in the back seat, discussing what movie to watch later. Xie Shizhu caught a glimpse of two figures not far away from the corner of his eye, but pretended to ignore them and looked away.
"Everyone's gone, and you're still watching?" Song Yao said in astonishment. "I surrender to you. You paid for Xie Shizhu and didn't even dare to show your face. When did you become such a coward?"
Jiang Yuhuai took out a cigarette case and took out a long cigarette. Song Yao quickly lit it for him.
The smoke obscured his dejected look.
Jiang Yuhuai also has his dignity. After seeing what Xie Shizhu posted last night, he felt lost and couldn't sleep all night.
The only bit of rationality left in his heart told him that if Xie Shizhu still liked Chi Ze, he would naturally not destroy it.
After all, that was the result of Xie Shizhu's secret love for many years.
But why did his heart feel empty, as if something was missing?
Jiang Yuhuai felt a pain in his fingertips, and then he realized that the cigarette had burned out, burning his skin and leaving a mark.
Song Yao stared at him for a long time, but Jiang Yuhuai didn't say anything. He sighed deeply in his heart.
Brother, I didn’t expect that you would have such a time, where you can’t get what you like.
"Let's go," Song Yao said, "Didn't we sign the contract today? I'll buy you a drink."
Jiang Yuhuai said without any interest: "No, I have something to do so I will go home first."
After saying this, Jiang Yuhuai turned and went to the parking lot. He got in the car and sat in it for a long time, not knowing where he wanted to go.

As soon as Xie Shizhu and Zhou Yuerou arrived, they heard noisy sounds coming from the house.
The two looked at each other and looked into the house.
Mr. Zhou sat on the sofa, his arms folded, and said to Zhou Yuan, who was nodding her head with a sullen face, "Look at what you've done. Now, because of you, the company's stock has plummeted. Have I ever treated you unfairly in all the years you've been in the Zhou family?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yuan cried and shook her head.
Master Zhou continued to curse while panting: "Even if you are not my biological daughter, I will still raise you as my own daughter. If you make any mistakes again, our Zhou family will not tolerate you."
Zhou Yuan's breathing stagnated, tears streaming down her face as she whispered, "Dad, please don't chase me away. I don't want to go back to the countryside. I didn't do it on purpose. I won't say nonsense again..."
Mr. Zhou snorted coldly, "Alright, stay home for the next few days. Next Thursday is your birthday, and I've arranged a marriage for you. Your Uncle Xu's son has admired you for a long time. I'll arrange this on Thursday, and this will also help you undo the mistakes you made."
Zhou Yuan bit her lip. Uncle Xu's son weighed three times as much as she did, was ugly, and spent all his time eating. How could she marry such a man?
But what can we do now...
Zhou Yuan was unwilling to give in. If she had to marry, she would marry Chi Ze.
When Zhou Yuan wanted to beg her father not to arrange the marriage, she caught a glimpse of two people coming in from outside and swallowed her words back.
She didn't want to show such a low attitude in front of the person she hated the most.
One is a woman who grew up in the countryside and stole his life, and the other one is trying to steal her man.
She hated both of them.
If it weren't for Xie Shizhu, the company's stock wouldn't have plummeted, and her father wouldn't have let her marry an ugly man.
All this is because of Xie Shizhu.
Zhou Yuan stared at Xie Shizhu's face with hatred flashing across her face.
Zhou Yuerou saw her unfriendly look and quickly blocked Zhou Yuan's sight, protecting Xie Shizhu like a chick protecting its chicks.
At this time, the original owner's malicious value suddenly dropped to 35, and Xie Shizhu laughed mockingly in his heart.
Isn't Zhou Yuan just shooting herself in the foot?
When Mr. Zhou saw his daughter coming back, his face, which had been dark and gloomy just now, instantly softened. "Rou Rou, you're back? Are you having a lot of classes lately?"
Zhou Yuerou shook her head, her tone quite polite and distant: "Not much, Dad, I brought my friends home to watch a movie, we'll go upstairs first."
Mr. Zhou nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll ask the nanny to prepare some fruit for you and send it up. Have fun."
"Thank you, Dad," Zhou Yuerou took Xie Shizhu's hand and walked towards the elevator, passing Zhou Yuan directly.
Xie Shizhu greeted Mr. Zhou obediently.
When they got on the elevator, Mr. Zhou's smile suddenly stopped. He looked at Zhou Yuan with cold eyes: "Look at your sister, she is a good student and sensible."
Zhou Yuan felt aggrieved. With red eyes, she said, "I will change," and then trotted back to the bedroom.
As soon as she entered the door, the viciousness in her eyes was about to burst out.
Zhou Yuan wiped her tears and called Baldy, with whom she had worked before, and asked Baldy to find a way to drug Chi Ze.
She wants to force Chi Ze to marry her at her birthday party.
