In the evening, Shen Qingyue went to Tang Fangmo’s place. Just as she entered the elevator, she encountered a group of ominous people – Qin Zhen, Wei Jiu’er, Ling Bing’er, and Madam Qin. It was quite a coincidence, the way they all appeared together.

The people inside the elevator had various reactions upon seeing her.

Shen Qingyue walked into the elevator with an unchanged expression, as if she hadn’t seen anyone. She was about to press the button for her floor when she noticed it was already lit. She was on the same floor as these people from the Qin family.

Ling Bing’er, seeing she didn’t press any button, muttered, “Is she planning to go upstairs with us? Following her brother again? She really is persistent…” The intimidation from Shen Qingyue during their last encounter had some effect, making her hesitate to provoke directly. Plus, Qin Zhen was present; she did not dare to make him angry again.

Shen Qingyue acted like she didn’t hear, closing her eyes to rest.

“Shen Qingyue, would you like to join us for dinner?” It was Madam Qin who spoke.

Shen Qingyue was slightly surprised, slowly opening her eyes. Usually, it was Wei Jiu’er who would speak to her in such situations, likely to maintain her gentle and kind image. But Qin Zhen’s mother, who she had never gotten along with, was being so warm? She always felt like there was something off about this.

Wei Jiu’er’s face, which had previously carried a smile, changed instantly upon hearing Madam Qin’s words. Her eyes gave off a warning when she glanced at Madam Qin. This old witch wanted to win over Shen Qingyue again! That old woman just could not stay still for a moment…

Madam Qin pretended not to notice Wei Jiu’er’s gaze, still staring at Shen Qingyue, waiting for her response.

Shen Qingyue was about to refuse when she heard Qin Zhen say, “Mom, why did you invite her? She must have followed me here, deliberately trying to find out my schedule. You’re just playing into someone’s hands.”

Shen Qingyue looked at Qin Zhen’s face reflected in the elevator wall, not in the mood to be polite. “I’m not like you, President Qin. I don’t do this kind of sneaky stuff. Really sorry, we made plans to have dinner with my brother. If I knew you were here, we would have gone somewhere else. Seeing you, I’ve lost my appetite for two bowls of rice.”

Qin Zhen was momentarily speechless, unable to come up with a retort. After all, he had been the one following her.

When the elevator reached the designated floor, Shen Qingyue stepped out first. But before leaving, she couldn’t resist giving some ‘kind’ advice, “President Qin, you just managed to stand up, and you’re running so far to have a meal. Be careful. Don’t get into another accident or something life-threatening. If you end up bleeding heavily again, I won’t easily donate blood to you next time.”

She had decided that if Qin Zhen dared to use her again, she would ask for money in exchange. Otherwise, she wouldn’t let this guy treat her like a mobile blood bank.

Qin Zhen frowned, watching Shen Qingyue’s departing figure, utterly puzzled. What was this woman babbling about again?

Wei Jiu’er hurriedly said, “Zhen, let’s go quickly, I’m really hungry…”

Qin Zhen nodded, but his thoughts were in disarray.

Shen Qingyue found the private room, pushed the door open, and walked in. Inside, she saw people from the Tang family and Yan Xi.

And when the people in the private room saw her, they were also stunned. Tang Fangmo immediately stood up from his chair, looking a bit awkward.

“Qingyue, why are you here?”

Shen Qingyue was puzzled, “Didn’t you message me to come?”

Tang Fangmo was even more confused, “I didn’t.” He started to doubt himself and took out his phone to check. He indeed hadn’t sent any message to Shen

Qingyue.

Shen Qingyue raised an eyebrow, “Did Yan Xi use your phone?”

Tang Fangmo suspiciously glanced at Yan Xi, “I didn’t see her use it, but my phone was indeed beside her in the morning…”

Yan Xi hurriedly said, “Big Brother MO, it wasn’t me.”

Shen Qingyue took out her own phone and showed the message, “That’s strange. Brother Mo’s phone seems to be capable of sending messages on its own!”

Yan Xi felt wronged, “I don’t know what you mean…”

There was a hint of mockery in Shen Qingyue’s eyes. It seemed this person hadn’t taken her words seriously at all.

Mother Tang was not a fool. She immediately stepped forward to mediate, “Qingyue, it must be a misunderstanding. Yan Xi is a good girl. Since you’re here, why don’t you sit down and have a meal together?”

“No, thanks. I have something else to do.” Shen Qingyue’s gaze shifted away from Yan Xi. “I won’t eat. You all enjoy your meal.”

Shen Qingyue casually declined, but Yan Xi caught on to her words ‘you all’ versus ‘us,’ immediately saying, “Sister Qingyue, even though I’m the niece by marriage to Uncle and Aunt, after so many years, we also consider you as our family. Don’t be so polite. Sit down and eat with us.”

Yan Xi’s tone made it seem like she was the hostess, and Shen Qingyue was the guest..
