Without knowing when she had become Lu Zhiting's friend, Shi Qian inexplicably became his best friend.
When he saw Lu Shifeng, he stood up and greeted him.
"Dr. Lu."
Lu Shifeng smiled at Shi Qian, nodded, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"alright."
Seeing that the two seemed to know each other as they exchanged questions and answers, Lu Zhiting asked curiously, "You two know each other?"
"Um."
Lu Shifeng nodded and didn't explain further. Seeing that they didn't say anything, Lu Zhiting became even more curious and asked in a half-coquettish, half-accusatory tone.
"No, brother, you went to Yan City and you already have a new younger brother. No wonder you haven't come back to see me for so long!"
Lu Shifeng just smiled and patted Lu Zhiting's head, "I'm back now, aren't I?"
"Why don't you stay here this time? It must be so boring for you to be alone in Yancheng. Why don't you go back to the capital? We're all here!"
Lu Shifeng had planned to stay in the capital after returning this time, because he could no longer run away like this, and neither could his father.
"I'm not going back this time."
Guan Mo also glanced at Lu Shifeng a few more times. When he was a child, his father mentioned that his aunt had a son named Lu Shifeng.
Guan Mo had always known that his aunt had married into the Lu family, but by the time he found out, Lu Shifeng had already gone to Yancheng, and the two had never been able to meet.
Now it all makes sense; the person in front of him is probably his aunt's son.
He was indeed a handsome man, and looked three or four parts like his aunt.
There were too many people around, so Guan Mo didn't plan to greet them rashly. He thought he would ask Lu Shifeng for his contact information later.
His dad had blocked him because of his gaming, and Guan Mo planned to tell his grandfather later that his aunt's son had returned to Beijing.
Qi Huai, Xu Wei, and the others were not familiar with Lu Shifeng, which made things a little awkward. Lu Zhiting, on the other hand, was easygoing and introduced them one by one.
The banquet began soon after.
Shi Qian was inexplicably assigned to the same table as Meng Qing. He looked at Meng Qing sitting next to him, wanting to say something but holding back.
Finally, she tugged at Meng Qing's sleeve and whispered, "I'll just sit with Guan Mo and the others."
"No need, sitting here is just as good."
Shi Qian felt a little embarrassed. How could they be the same?
He and Meng Qing weren't that close, so why was he sitting at the head table at the Meng family's birthday banquet?
Why didn't Meng Qing just let him sit on his head?
However, Shi Qian's embarrassment didn't last long, as Lu Zhiting sat on his other side and talked nonstop.
Meng Qing didn't invite many members of the Meng family to her birthday party. There were only three members of the Meng family at the main table: Meng Qing, Meng Xu, and Meng Qing's grandfather, Meng Pang, who hasn't appeared yet.
Most of the remaining people were from the Lu family, which shows that the Meng family and the Lu family have a very good relationship.
Shi Yan was seated at the table furthest from the door. He looked at Shi Qian sitting next to Meng Qing from afar, his teeth itching with hatred.
Why? Why is Shi Qian sitting next to Meng Qing? When did they become so close?
That was clearly his spot! Only he was qualified to sit next to Meng Qing! He was Meng Qing's destined other half!
How dare this cannon fodder step on his head!
Damn system, Shi Yan used to receive some notifications intermittently, but now there haven't been any messages for a long time.
He can only rely on himself now, which is so annoying. What kind of broken system is this? Shouldn't he have some kind of cheat code?
Since Shi Qian resumed his studies, everything has gone wrong for Shi Yan. He thought things would get better once he arrived in the capital, but unexpectedly, Shi Qian followed him there as well.
Compared to him, the protagonist, Shi Qian, the cannon fodder, is far too dazzling. Not only is Fu Xiuhan eager to be with him, but even Yan Ge has become Shi Qian's roommate.
Shi Yan thought of Yan Ge. After that chance encounter at the school gate, Shi Yan tried to find Yan Ge several times, but Yan Ge avoided him like the plague, and he didn't even have a chance to get close to him.
Fu Xiuhan went even further, directly declaring that he had blocked him.
Shi Yan had previously spread rumors that Fu Xiuhan and he were close friends in high school, hoping to use this to test Fu Xiuhan's attitude towards him.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xiuhan directly told people that the two had a grudge, which scared away those who originally wanted to use Shi Yan to climb the social ladder and get close to Fu Xiuhan.
He couldn't get to know Yan Ge, he couldn't get close to Fu Xiu, and he couldn't even see Meng Qing.
The Meng family had layers upon layers of bodyguards. Meng Qing had already deleted all of Shi Yan's contact information. Shi Yan tried to go to the Meng Group building to find Meng Qing, but the receptionist asked him to leave his name and call to inquire.
Meng Qing directly said she didn't know him and that strangers shouldn't be allowed in, so Shi Yan was kicked out.
Shi Yan grew angrier the more he thought about it, his fingers digging into his flesh. His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Shi Qian, as if he were about to devour her at any moment.
He tried to relax; there should still be a chance. Oh, right, Meng Qing's grandfather, yes, and Meng Qing's grandfather, Meng Pang.
Shi Yan remembered that Meng Qing's grandfather was very strict and never smiled. He emphasized that the Shi family was far inferior to the Meng family, and Meng Pang would never allow someone like Shi Qian to marry his grandson.
He knew Meng Pang's methods towards these ill-intentioned people. If Shi Qian angered Meng Pang, tomorrow might be his death anniversary.
Shi Yan looked at Shi Qian, who was still sitting at the main table, and raised the corners of his mouth. When Meng Pang arrived, he wanted to see if Shi Qian could still sit there so comfortably.
Shi Qian drank several cups of tea and started to feel a little hungry, but Grandpa Meng Qing hadn't arrived yet, so they couldn't eat for the time being.
Thanks to the kind person who called Lu Zhiting, Shi Qian was finally able to have some peace and quiet.
Meng Qing turned her head and saw that Shi Qian was in a daze, and asked, "Are you hungry? You can eat first."
As she was about to serve food to Shi Qian, Shi Qian quickly pulled Meng Qing's hand back.
