Those words seemed to make Xie Yuning feel a little better.
Although this commotion almost escalated, most people held it in and continued to eat.
Afterward, Xie Yuning threw more shade at Gu Qingjiu. Yao Zixing talked about his opinions and analysis of his business. Since he was someone with experience, Yang Han and the rest who had a bad impression about him started warming up.
On the other hand, Gu Qingjiu who had no one standing by her side seemed to become more isolated.
The entire table seemed to revolve around Xie Yuning and Yao Zixing.
Only Zhong Xiaoxiao didn’t entertain them but her expression was not great either.
Once Yao Zixing came, everyone’s attention fell on Xie Yuning.
Gu Qingjiu was extremely amazed at herself. Under such a frustrating situation, she was still able to eat comfortably until the end when Xie Yuning started to flaunt the diamond ring Yao Zixing bought for her.
She narrowed her eyes at Gu Qingjiu’s hands as she mocked, “You’re already going to get married and your boyfriend didn’t even get you a ring?”
“He did.”
Gu Qingjiu answered honestly. “I left the ring at home and didn’t bring it. I will take a photo to show you another day. Remember to add me on the app.”
Xie Yuning said, “Hmph, who knows if you will randomly send a photo you get online to fool us.”
“Why would I do such a thing? Why don’t you follow me back home to see it?”
Xie Yuning was speechless.
She almost couldn’t find any faults with this Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t bring any evidence to support herself but it felt like she was the one losing.
Until Yao Zixing gently placed his arm on Xie Yuning’s shoulder. “Yuning, some people are filled with lies. They are not worth your time.”
The entire place fell into silence.
Everyone knew that his words were directed at Gu Qingjiu.
Xie Yuning startled a while before laughing. “You’re right.”
She eyed Gu Qingjiu with disdain as she said that.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t reply.
Zhong Xiaoxiao asked in a mirthless smile, “Mr. Yao, do you recognize the brand of Qingjiu’s clothes?”
Yao Zixing paused. “I don’t research much about women’s things.”
“Oh, I thought that since Mr. Yao came from a rich family, you would have some understanding about these things. I guess that’s true too, prestigious brands like Fortier are not something even rich families can come in contact with.”
At that, silence ensued.
Yao Zixing stiffened.
Fortier was a brand he couldn’t afford, but one he had heard of before.
The brand was so high above their level that even Yao Zixing’s family wouldn’t encounter it. What was more to say about Xie Yuning?
Everyone was startled. Gu Qingjiu was wearing clothing from Fortier?
Before they could recover from the shocking news that came one after another, the respectful voice of a waiter came from the entrance. “Sir, this is the place.”
Following that, the door was pushed open. Beside the respectful bow of the waiter, a man with unparalleled nobility walked in, pushing the student’s gathering up to an unprecedented level and causing everyone to stare in shock.
The man was clad in a casual black shirt with pants that accentuated his perfect figure. An intoxicating temptation, his eyes were beautiful like the gentle caress of moonlight.
An idea sparked and Gu Qingjiu called out, “Hubby, didn’t you go back?”
Hubby???
Everyone’s jaw dropped.
