While they were chatting, Fang Yan had caught up with Su Zhen.

“Zhen’er, don’t be like this. The Gu family is watching.”

Fang Yan tried to calm Su Zhen’s emotions.

“So What? Everything I have has been taken away by someone else. Does it matter what I look like?”

Su Zhen was throwing a tantrum like a child.

“Who said it doesn’t matter? No one can take what belongs to you. I will help you get it back!”

Fang Yan’s gaze was vicious as she looked in the direction of the living room.

If she could abandon her once, she could make her disappear for the second time!

…

After Su Zhen’s tantrum, the Su family left first. The two families had agreed to meet again for dinner.

Before Qi Hong returned to her room, she looked at Su Yu meaningfully and said, “Don’t underestimate a mother’s desire to protect her child. I hope you’re sincere towards my son.”

She felt that it was too much of a coincidence and suspected that Su Yu had other intentions toward Gu Chen.

“I really want to be with Gu Chen.”

Su Yu made her stance clear again.

Qi Hong knew that she would not be able to get any useful information from her, so she did not say anything more and went straight to her room.

“I always thought that I was using you. It seems that I have overestimated myself.”

Gu Chen lifted Su Y’uchin, his eyes filled with danger.

“It’s a partnership, to begin with. We both get what we need. It’s not like we are using each other.”

Su Yu pushed Gu Chen’s hand away with a calm expression. She didn’t feel guilty at all after being exposed.

Gu Chen had many questions he wanted to ask Su Yu. However, there were still matters that needed to be dealt with in the company, so he could only find a suitable time to ask her.

Soon, it was time for the banquet. Qi Hong chose a high-end hotel and Gu Chen rushed over after work.

Everyone took their seats, but they all had their plans.

The dishes were all served. Qi Hong smiled and said, “Everyone, hurry up and start eating. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

“Of course of course. From now on, we’re all one family. There’s no need to separate us.”

Su Wen continued, emphasizing that they were one family.

Qi Hong was very disdainful of his philistine appearance and still replied politely, “Of course, our two families are family friends. We should get along as a family.”

“Come, these are your favourite dishes. Eat more.”

Gu Chen pretended to be a good husband and poured Su Yu some water. He was very considerate.

Su Yu knew that Gu Chen was deliberately teasing her because the dishes that Gu Chen gave her were all dishes that she did not like to eat.

As everyone was present, Su Yu could not tell the truth. She could only bite them and eat the dishes that she did not like. She cursed Gu Chen in her heart for getting his throat stuck by the fish bones.

Su Zhen saw that they were “loving each other” and was furious.

Su Yu sat beside her and Su Zhen’s thoughts sank. She stood up and prepared a bowl of soup. Then, she pretended to be scalded and threw the soup in Su Yu’s direction. “Oh my, it’s so hot!”

Su Yu subconsciously avoided it. Fortunately, it did not burn her skin. Only her dress was dirtied.

Everyone’s attention was attracted to her. Su Wen immediately asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Chen checked whether Su Yu had been scalded nervously.

Su Zhen pretended to be apologetic. “The soup was too hot. I didn’t hold it properly and accidentally spilt it. I’m sorry, Sister Su Yu.”

How could she have been careless!

If she had been careless, how could she have spilt it so accurately on her side? She, Su Zhen, didn’t even get her sleeves wet?

Su Wen scolded, “Why are you clumsy?”

Su Yu did not want to expose her. She smiled magnanimously and said, “It’s fine. She didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll go to the toilet to take care of it.”

Su Yu stood up.

Gu Chen stood up too. “I’ll go with you.”

Qi Hong was not a fool. She could tell that Su Zhen did it on purpose. She stopped Gu Chen on purpose. “She has to go to the female toilet to take care of it. Why are you going with her?”

Su Zhen immediately said, “I’ll go with sister Su Yu. After all, it’s my fault.”

Su Yu knew that Su Zhen would not be so kind. She might be trying to bully her.

However, since there were so many people here, it would not be good for her to take revenge. She did not expect Su Zhen to deliver herself to her doorstep.

Su Yu quickly agreed. “Let Sister Su Zhen go with me. Have a good meal.”

Gu Chen noticed that something was wrong with Su Yu’s gaze. He could not help but sympathize with Su Zhen, who was feeling pleased with herself. She still did not know what kind of monster she had offended.
