Back in Baigang University, those who shipped the campus beauties into couples were divided into several factions.
Among them, the "Siqing" CP fans have the loudest voices, followed by the "Yunyu" CP fans. However, whenever the two sides have a conflict, the side supporting Zhou Sinian usually ends up losing.
It's not that those people aren't strong, but rather that the other side often only needs to throw out a sentence like "But Zhou Sinian doesn't have a formal title," which leaves the "Siqing" CP fans speechless.
Recalling these past events, Lu Ting whispered in Yun Qing's ear, "He is Xue Jiayu, the one who competed with Zhou Sinian for the title of school heartthrob."
So it was him. Now Yunqing knows.
Xue Jiayu was actually quite popular with Bai Xiaohe among her ex-boyfriends, but he was too controlling. Whenever Zhou Sinian invited her to the Zhou family for dinner, he would secretly follow them and then suddenly appear when they were about to leave, making a huge scene in front of Bai Xiaohe.
This was extremely unbearable for Yun Qing, and after two such instances, she broke up with Xue Jiayu.
This memory is long gone for Yun Qing, but Xue Jiayu still feels a burning hatred whenever she thinks about it.
After Yun Qing told him about breaking up, he finally realized that Zhou Sinian had deliberately spread the news to make him jealous, causing him to lose his composure and lose Yun Qing's heart.
It is said that rivals in love are especially hostile when they meet, let alone rivals who have stabbed each other in the back.
Seeing Zhou Sinian walking towards them, Xue Jiayu said sarcastically, "Why is President Zhou here too? If I remember correctly, you weren't invited."
Yun Qing was surprised for a moment, then turned to look at Zhou Sinian, her eyes clearly saying: Why did you come to my welcome banquet?
Before Zhou Sinian left the Yu family that day, he made a harsh statement: I will never take the initiative to look for you again.
Seeing Yun Qing's puzzled expression, Zhou Sinian obviously remembered what he had said, and his face turned slightly red.
But he couldn't admit defeat in front of Xue Jiayu.
"Can't I come without an invitation? I also have shares in the Starry Sky Hotel. Whether I'm here to catch up with old classmates or to inspect the work, I have a perfectly good reason. But Mr. Xue, why aren't you staying in Qingyang City? What are you doing in Baigang?"
"Hehe, my alma mater is in Baigang, and there are people I care about. Why can't I come?"
"In that case, I wish Mr. Xue a pleasant time."
Yun Qing stood to the side, somewhat disinterested. She had thought the two would start fighting; how boring.
Sure enough, as people get older, they have more things to worry about and are not as young and impetuous as they used to be.
She vaguely remembered hearing a piece of news about Xue Jiayu when she had just broken up with him: Xue Jiayu and Zhou Sinian had fought in public to compete for the title of school heartthrob.
Yun Qing was surprised for a moment, not expecting Xue Jiayu to be so childish, and was glad that she broke up with him early.
Looking back now, there might be more to the story than meets the eye regarding that fight.
At this moment, Xue Jiayu turned her gaze to Yu Heng, who had remained silent.
Looking at Yun Qing with curiosity, he asked, "May I ask who this gentleman is?"
"Ah, he is my brother-in-law."
"I see. I was also very saddened to hear of your husband's unfortunate passing. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. It seems that Mr. Yu really took good care of you."
Yun Qing didn't understand why Xue Jiayu was rambling on and on, so she could only nod perfunctorily: "You're right."
As they entered the banquet hall with Lu Ting and the others, countless eyes immediately focused on Yun Qing.
Her beauty was like a bright pearl, illuminating not only the banquet that night but also the hearts of everyone present.
"My God! Yun Qing, how come you're still so beautiful? Don't you ever age?"
Yun Qing's smile froze, unsure how to respond.
To be honest, in her heart, she is still very young and at the age to explore the world.
However, she couldn't say this directly, as it would make her seem too narcissistic.
So she could only put on her formulaic smile again and say modestly, "Not at all, you take good care of yourself too."
There were dozens of people at the banquet, but Yun Qing knew less than a third of them. Not to mention that she had only a few roommates whom she was truly familiar with after living abroad for many years.
Lu Ting would observe Yun Qing every now and then, and the more she looked, the more uncertain she felt.
Xue Jiayu's plan is likely to fail, as Yun Qing seems to have no feelings for him at all.
Moreover, she subtly noticed that Zhou Sinian and Yu Heng's attitude towards Yun Qing was also very strange, completely unlike how they would treat their sister-in-law and ex-wife.
So, she sent a message to Xue Jiayu midway through the meal, and when no one was paying attention, the two of them left one after the other.
At the dinner table, the topic of conversation gradually shifted to Yun Qing.
"Yun Qing, are you alone right now?"
"Yes, yes, have you been planning to find someone else? We can introduce you to some people."
Yun Qing paused, her hand holding the wine glass still. She felt a little strange. Why were all these people so concerned about her love life?
"No, I don't have any plans in that regard at the moment."
Upon hearing Yun Qing's idea, the people around her became anxious and began to offer their advice in various ways.
"Oh dear, how can we not look for someone? We can't stay alone forever."
Some people even glanced at Zhou Sinian and Yu Heng, wanting to know what they were thinking.
"Si Nian, what are you thinking? Yun Qing and you have been separated for several years now, why haven't you found someone else? Could it be that you can't forget our school beauty?"
Zhou Sinian, who was mentioned, remained indifferent. Such sarcastic remarks no longer angered him. He would do anything for his child.
"I will not marry anyone else for the sake of Yunnan."
"Won't marry someone else?" After pondering this question, everyone had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
It seems the goddess's charm remains as strong as ever, and Zhou, the school heartthrob, maintains his arrogant and devoted persona.
Although Xue Jiayu organized this welcome banquet, not everyone present supported him in pursuing Yun Qing. Quite a few wanted to see the school beauty and the school hunk reunite.
Some people also felt that Yu Heng and Yun Qing looked like a good match, and the younger brother-in-law had a unique charm.
Yun Qing was completely unaware of these inner thoughts. She didn't frequent forums much, so she wasn't very clear about how everyone used to ship her with other people.
But hearing Zhou Sinian's words still stirred something within her.
She knew her ex-husband quite well; he was the most stubborn person in the whole family. The fact that he could say these words now, completely overturning the flag he had set a couple of days ago, meant he had probably mentally prepared himself countless times.
