Ye Nian wasn't lying; the family driver, Uncle Wu, really had to take leave.
Ji Yue stood up coldly, glanced at Ye Nian, and said, "Don't you have legs?"
After saying that, he decisively left the classroom.
Gu Yan, a beat behind, lazily got up and, considering that Ye Nian often took pictures of Duo Duo for him, said, "Come on, I'll take you home."
"Thank you." Ye Nian was a little excited. She turned around and glanced at Jiang Duoduo with a smug look, then quickly followed Gu Yan's steps.
The two walked to the school gate, in front of Gu's private car.
Seeing that Ye Nian wanted to get into the car, Gu Yan kindly reminded her, "Besides Duo Duo, no other woman is allowed to sit in the trunk of my car."
Ye Nian's movements froze.
After Gu Yan gestured for Uncle Chen to open the trunk, he waited for Ye Nian's reaction for a minute before ruthlessly closing the car door and saying, "Oh, since you don't want to ride, then you can walk back by yourself."
Forced to inhale a mouthful of exhaust fumes, Ye Nian's eyes widened in resentment as she glared in the direction Gu Yan had left. Her eyes instantly welled with tears of frustration.
...
Jiang Duoduo was pulled out of the school by Qin Xue. Feeling it was better not to stand Qin Jue up, she said, "Xuexue, my boss invited me to dinner, so I might not be able to come with you..."
The conversation was interrupted, "The Hilton Hotel? We're going that way anyway."
"Huh? How did you know?"
"It's a bit of a coincidence. A friend of mine happens to have a bit of a relationship with your boss. He and your boss have a dinner party tonight, and I came to A Middle School on the way to give you a ride." Qin Xue came to pick up Duoduo on Qin Jue's orders.
Jiang Duoduo felt that something was off. "Um... is it Shen Chuanyu?"
Qin Xue smiled but did not answer.
Seeing her acting so mysteriously, Jiang Duoduo didn't press her for details. She knew Qin Xue's identity was far more powerful than she had imagined, and it was perfectly normal for her to have a connection with Shen Chuanyu.
Just then, Jiang Duoduo's phone vibrated.
Gu Yan: [Duoduo, I took Ye Nian home.]
Gu Yan: [Am I a great older brother?]
Jiang Duoduo: [Thank you for your help]
Gu Yan: [If Duoduo calls me "brother," I won't bother. (Rubbing hands in anticipation.jpg)]
Jiang Duoduo silently put away her phone.

Hilton Hotel.
When Jiang Duoduo and Qin Xue entered the private room, Shen Chuanyu and Fang Chu had already arrived.
As for Qin Jue, something came up at the company and he arrived rather late.
When Jiang Duoduo sat down at the dining table, the four of them sat there awkwardly, and she could clearly feel the strange and uncomfortable atmosphere.
Didn't Qin Xue know Shen Chuanyu?
Why haven't you said anything? And why are you so quiet now?
She was very curious, but the atmosphere wasn't right, and she was too embarrassed to ask Qin Xue.
Fang Chu then spoke up, "President Qin will probably arrive in about ten minutes."
"Oh." Jiang Duoduo nodded.
"Miss Qin, what would you like for dessert before the meal?"
Before Jiang Duoduo could answer, Qin Xue spoke first, her voice icy, "I don't like sweets."
She paused, then turned to look at Fang Chu, her eyes flashing with coldness. "We haven't seen each other for only a year, and you've already forgotten this?"
Fang Chu raised his hand and pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses, his expression unchanged. "I wasn't asking you."
Qin Xue's expression gradually darkened. Fang Chu, in order not to waste time, had already asked her to come here to have dinner with Shen Chuanyu and the others, but instead, he immediately said what she hated most.
Seeing that he was still trying to argue, just as Qin Xue was about to explode, Jiang Duoduo spoke up weakly and helplessly: "I want to eat dessert...you, you can get me one of each kind of dessert."
"Okay." Fang Chu stood up, glanced at Qin Xue, sighed helplessly, and walked out of the private room.
