Before eating, Song Fengwan went out to call Qiao Aiyun, just to tell her who she was eating with.

“Fu Yuxiu is there too?” Qiao Aiyun wasn’t that magnanimous. Ever since Fu Yuxiu broke off the engagement, she had never had a good impression of him. “Stay away from him. That kid isn’t a good person.”

“I know.”

“Although it’s inevitable that you’ll meet, it’s fine as long as you treat him normally.”

“Okay.”

“Fu Chen is there too?” When Qiao Aiyun mentioned Fu Chen, her tone became much more relaxed and pleasant.

“Okay.”

“I’m relieved with him around. I’m just afraid that kid will say something shameful or do something to bully you. With him around, you’ll definitely be fine.”

Song Fengwan laughed. “Aren’t you too assured of him?”

“Fu Chen is a good person. He even calls me when he has nothing to do. He knows that I have severe morning sickness and even sent me something. Although it doesn’t have much effect on me after eating it, it’s already very rare for him to have this kind of heart. At least he still remembers me in his heart. It’s rare.”

Song Fengwan raised her eyebrows. How come I don’t know about this?

“Sometimes, he’s even more considerate than your Uncle Yan.”

The corners of Song Fengwan’s mouth twitched as she echoed with a smile. Third Brother hasn’t been idle recently. He really knows how to win people’s hearts and coax Mom until her mouth is as sweet as honey.

Before our matter is exposed, he’s already coaxed Mom so much that she’s praising him all the time. He is really impressive.

After she entered the bathroom in the private room, she went to the sink to wash her hands. When she thought of Fu Chen’s bold actions just now, she couldn’t help sighing.

This person isn’t that young anymore. He’s really passionate and childish.

Why did he do that under the table?

While Song Fengwan was in the bathroom, Fu Chen unexpectedly followed her in…

“Why did you come in? What if Fu Yuxiu sees?”

“There are so many people covering for us. What are you afraid of?” Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.

What he said was true. There were a few sly old foxes outside, and Fu Yuxiu was simply a naive fool and not good enough to see through everyone. How could he win against them?

Most importantly, Fu Yuxiu didn’t dare think in that direction at all. Seeing that they were on good terms, he thought that Song Fengwan had lived at Fu Chen’s house before, so the two of them should be on better terms.

It never occurred to him that the two of them were already together.

At this moment, a waiter was serving the dishes.

“Where’s Third Uncle?” Fu Yuxiu asked.

“He probably went out.” Shen Jinye coughed twice. “He’ll definitely be back soon. Do you miss him?”

Shen Jinye glanced at him. When he found out that the two of them were together, he had been scared out of his wits. I hope Yuxiu won’t be scared silly.

This unlucky child. When Little Uncle bullied him in the past, it was purely his bad hobby. Now, he’s targeting him…

… as a love rival.

He actually doesn’t know anything?

Fu Yuxiu didn’t say anything. He was very afraid of Fu Chen, so he naturally had to be concerned about his every move.

Between the restroom and the place where they were eating was the small partitioned-off section for playing games, so the people outside naturally wouldn’t notice them.

It wasn’t even clear what the two of them were doing inside.

Song Fengwan went out first…

“Wanwan, sit here.” Yu Manxi gestured for Song Fengwan to sit beside her. There were only two females at the table, so they naturally had to sit together.

“Where’s Fu Chen?” Jing Hanchuan asked the obvious.

“I don’t know. I didn’t see him.” Song Fengwan lowered her head and took a sip of water to moisten her throat and calm down the heat in her heart. She pretended to be innocent. “I went out to call my mom. Why isn’t he here?”

About five minutes later, Fu Chen returned. “I just answered a call. Sorry for the delay.”

Other than Fu Yuxiu, this naive fool, everyone knew that the two of them were acting.

Yu Manxi was speechless, and she suddenly felt sympathy for Fu Yuxiu. When he finds out about their relationship in the future, he will probably want to jump off a building.

Because Duan Linbai was here, the atmosphere at the dining table was always very lively. He kept talking about the strange things he had encountered during the demolition.

“… In fact, our compensation for the demolition and relocation is better than the standard because our company added extra. Most of the demolition households are very cooperative, but some of them are harder to deal with. When a family and a few children live together, the house size is around seventy to eighty square meters. How can they expect to get enough money for their children to get a house each?

“Every time I go to talk to them, they’re always acting shamelessly. Some of them are older, and I don’t dare to touch them.

“Last time, my assistant just wanted to have a chat with elderly uncle. But he just shamelessly threw a tantrum on the ground and almost angered me to death. There are many good people and many weirdos.”

…

Yu Manxi looked at the dishes on the table and turned her head to look at Fu Sinian. “Are all the dishes served?”

“Third Uncle has one left. That dish hasn’t been served.”

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a waitress carrying a soup bowl walked in.

“Sorry, it’s a little busy today. Your last dish has just been prepared.”

Duan Linbai happened to be sitting near the door. When he heard this voice, he couldn’t help turning around. Isn’t this…

Xu Jiamu!

Xu Jiamu didn’t expect to meet them either. Although she was surprised, she still served the dish. “Your dishes have all been served. Please enjoy.”

She had met Fu Chen a few times and nodded slightly as a greeting. She came out to earn money and work a proper part-time job. Although she was a service staff and they were consumers, she didn’t feel that there was anything to be embarrassed about.

She had always appeared natural and unrestrained.

“Hey…” Duan Linbai was about to say something, but Xu Jiamu had already left.

“An acquaintance?” Yu Manxi turned her head and asked.

Fu Sinian shook his head. He didn’t know her.

“Big Brother Duan, is she your acquaintance?” Shen Jinye was curious.

“I just know her. I didn’t expect her to work here.” Duan Linbai bit his lip. Actually, it was normal for university students to work and study. But when he thought of her family situation, he felt uncomfortable.

“Didn’t I have snow blindness before? The professor who checked my eyes is her doctoral advisor, so I know her,” he explained casually.

Fu Chen lowered his head and chuckled.

Duan Linbai cared a lot about his face. He couldn’t possibly tell these people that she was the one who had beaten him up and sent him to the hospital.

Soon, he received a WeChat message from Xu Jiamu.

[Young Master Duan, when are you free? I’ll return your jacket to you.]

Duan Linbai narrowed his eyes and glanced at the people at the table. [When I’m done eating.]

[I’m almost off work.] Xu Jiamu wasn’t a full-time worker, and she worked on an hourly basis. If she wanted to earn more money, she could only work longer. If she didn’t want to earn money, she could leave early too. There were no mandatory rules.

[I’ll call you later.]

Fu Chen looked at Duan Linbai acting sneakily with a spring breeze on his face. There must be something going on. “Linbai, eat. I specially ordered this for you. Didn’t you say that your foot was almost pierced by a nail and wanted me to nourish you?”

Duan Linbai looked up and saw a large bowl of soybean pork trotter soup.

Fu Chen, f*ck you!
