“What are you so nervous about?” Shu Yaqi directly pushed Shu Mei’er. “Getting anxious over a small matter, you’re indeed the daughter of a mistress. You can’t handle big occasions.”
Facing Shu Yaqi’s disdain, Shu Mei’er felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but she did not dare to say anything. However, she secretly hated Shu Yaqi.
Old Master Shu was completely unaware of his granddaughters’ feelings at the moment. The moment Huangtu Ruiling entered the banquet hall, ne brought his three sons to welcome him. “Young Master Huangfu, it is our greatest honor to have you here.”
“Old Master Shu overpraises me.” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly, “You and my grandfather are old friends. My coming today on his behalf to attend your birthday banquet is only proper.”
“Hehe, that’s right!” Old Master Shu beamed with joy and went along with Huangfu Ruiling’s words. “I haven’t seen your grandfather for many years. I wonder if he is doing well now?
In fact, this was somewhat of an exaggeration. He had previously invited
Huangfu Ruiling to attend the birthday banquet and used such an excuse. However, he and the old master of the Huangfu family were not good friends for many years. They were just lucky enough to go to the same university abroad.
The two of them did know each other, but they were just ordinary schoolmates and not good friends. However, he did not expect that Young Master Huangfu would actually agree to the invitation because of this excuse. This made him overjoyed. Because only the Shu family had this honor.
“Grandfather is very well.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “Old Master Shu, you don’t need to make special arrangements for me. I’m just here as an ordinary junior to congratulate you.”
Old Master Shu didn’t say anything. He asked his eldest son, Shu Hui, to personally attend to Huangfu Ruiling before leaving to chat with his other old friends. Or rather, showing off would be more fitting.
Ye Leng’an half-squatted down and whispered into Huangfu Ruiling’s ear, “I’m going to the washroom.”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded.
Shu Hui immediately called for someone to lead the way for Ye Leng’an.
Although Ye Leng’an was only Huangfu Ruiling’s female companion, Shu Hui did not dare to neglect her. He wasn’t sure about their relationship, but being able to appear so intimately in public, they definitely weren’t ordinary friends. However, this was not something he could pry into.
After Ye Leng’an asked for directions to the washroom, she walked over herself without letting the waiter lead her.
After coming out of the washroom, Ye Lengan saw a familiar face. An amused smile appeared on her face. She had only guessed before, but now she was sure.
The washroom of a five-star hotel was naturally decorated luxuriously. However, she found it funny that she was cornered in it now.
“Why, Miss Shu, are you waiting for me?” Ye Leng’an glanced at Shu Yaqi, her expression unchanged. “However, your hobby of waiting for people in the washroom is really special!”
“You…” Shu Yaqi wasn’t a fool. Naturally, she could detect Ye Leng’an’s sarcasm. Her expression wasn’t very good. “You’re just a plaything using your looks to serve men. What right do you think you have to speak to me here? Relying solely on men.”
“So what?” Ye Leng’an didn’t care at all. “At the very least, the reality now is that you’re waiting for me, not me waiting for you. This is sufficient to clarify our respective positions.”
Ye Leng’an’s attitude made Shu Yaqi’s already gloomy expression turn even uglier. She looked at Ye Leng’an and warned, “I don’t care how you managed to get close to Young Master Huangfu, but I’m warning you now. Don’t you dare say a single word about what happened in the jade jewelry store that day to anyone!”
Originally, she did not care about this at all. However, when she saw her grandfather’s attitude just now, it involuntarily stirred up some emotions in her heart.
She didn’t know much about the Huangfu family, and she didn’t feel much about her grandfather’s repeated orders. However, when she saw her grandfather’s actions when facing Young Master Huangfu, she knew that he held a very high position in her grandfather’s heart.
Although she was a little willful and arrogant, she still had some intelligence growing up in such a family. Therefore, after seeing her grandfather’s attitude, she was worried that Ye Leng’an would spill the beans about what happened that day..
