Shen Jiu’er curled her lips into a smile, "Actually, have you ever thought that Yu Dou might have fallen in love with you?"
Song Qingyang was stunned and then shook her head, "Impossible! Yu Dou is someone who only cares about profit, where would he find love? It’s also impossible for him to fall in love with anyone. Besides, even though we’ve been engaged for a year, you know very well, I’ve barely met him a few times, and before the engagement, our interactions were even less!"
Shen Jiu’er nodded, "That’s true!"
The waiter brought the food, and Shen Jiu’er, who had been working all morning, was also hungry, so she started eating first.
Song Qingyang also put down her wine glass and began to eat, as she had to return to work at the Song Family in the afternoon.
Shen Jiu’er ate a few bites of steak, drank a few sips of red wine, and then looked up at Song Qingyang.
She asked, "Qingyang, I mean it, do you really want to call off the engagement with Yu Dou?"
Song Qingyang frowned, "Of course, I dream about it!"
Shen Jiu’er’s beautiful chin lifted, she said, "I have a way, but I’m afraid you won’t dare to try it!"
Song Qingyang was taken aback, and asked, "What way?"
That night, Yu Dou had a business cocktail party to attend.
He needed to bring a female companion.
Originally, he planned to have his secretary Ji Xia go in his place.
But in the evening, he suddenly received a call from Song Qingyang, who invited him to dinner.
With his schedule already set for the evening, it was naturally unlikely for him to go have dinner with Song Qingyang.
However, since Song Qingyang rarely contacted him, it was quite a rare occasion.
So he conveniently invited Song Qingyang to accompany him to the cocktail party as his companion.
Their engagement was well-known in T City’s business circles.
But throughout the year, the two of them had hardly appeared together in any public setting.
Rumors outside even suggested they might have canceled the engagement long ago.
Tonight, bringing Song Qingyang along, he could finally dispel all those ridiculous rumors.
Knowing that their daughter was going to attend a cocktail party with Yu Dou, Song Mingzhong was very pleased and asked his wife, Liang Yue’e, to carefully select a dress for their daughter.
He also reminded his daughter not to act willfully, making the Song Family and Yu Dou lose face.
Song Qingyang thought that her purpose this time was to embarrass Yu Dou, so her parents were likely to be disappointed.
At six in the afternoon, Yu Dou personally drove to the Song Family to pick up Song Qingyang.
The moment Song Qingyang appeared, he raised his eyebrow, "Very beautiful!"
Song Qingyang was beautiful and had a great figure, and tonight she was "meticulously" dressed by her parents, how could she not be beautiful?
She gave a faint smile without saying anything else and got into the car on her own.
Yu Dou said goodbye to Song Mingzhong and his wife, and then also got in the car and left.
Along the way, the two hardly talked, but it seemed neither cared.
The car soon arrived at the location of the cocktail party. Seeing the grand setup, Song Qingyang raised an eyebrow.
This was exactly what she wanted; had it been smaller, she wouldn’t have wanted to come.
That evening, Shi Nuan went with her roommates to a hot pot restaurant near the school.
Unexpectedly on the road, they ran into two people.
One of them was their thesis advisor, Lin Junyi.
The other one, Shi Nuan was seeing for the first time, but she wasn’t too unfamiliar.
She had even been thinking about her and her name during the day.
She was a beautiful teacher in the Foreign Language Department of T University, Chu Jingyun.
Shi Nuan remembered, she had once asked Lin Junyi about Chu Jingyun over the phone.
Lin Junyi had said at the time that Teacher Chu Jingyun was a very good friend of his!
So seeing them here, Shi Nuan wasn’t surprised.
What surprised her was that she had been at T University for so long and had never run into Chu Jingyun before.
