blinked twice, her nose turning red. "A-Jin, thank you. I thought you had forgotten about the child. I didn't expect you to still remember."Guan Xin Yue feigned sadness, but a triumphant smile appeare...Shen Ningran glanced at the time, it was already quite late. "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, let's go eat, I'll treat."

"You said it! I've reserved a table at Jinxuan Pavilion. Don't worry, I won't be polite. Come on!"

……

Study.

"Knock, knock." Guan Xinyue knocked twice on the door, then pushed it open.

"Ajin," she said, a gentle smile gracing her lips as she swayed gracefully towards Bo Jinyu.

"Hmm." Bo Jinyu was starting to get a headache now. The smell of Guan Xin Yue's perfume made him frown involuntarily.

Guan Xinyue was still leaning against Bo Jinyu, and said, "Ajin, I'll have dinner with Jiao Xue at Jinheng Pavilion later, can you pick me up"

Bo Jin'yi glanced at his watch and replied, "Mhm."

Guan Xin Yue's smile became even brighter, and a few calculating gleams flashed in her eyes that were hard to detect. "Thank you, A Jin,"

……

Jinxuan Pavilion is a famous high-end restaurant in the imperial capital, specializing in Cantonese cuisine. The interior decoration is antique and elegant, creating a romantic atmosphere, which is very popular among upper-class people.

So the location here is also extremely difficult to pinpoint, and Chiang Li also booked it a few days in advance.

Jiang Li led Shen Ningran to their already reserved spot and flipped through the menu, saying, "This restaurant is really hard to book. It took so much effort to get a reservation, I'm going to have a good meal today."

Shen Ningran smiled. "You order whatever you want, I'll pay."

Jiang Li was not polite to Shen Ningran and ordered everything she wanted.

The food arrived quickly, but Shen Ningran was still preoccupied with the child's situation and had little appetite.

On the contrary, it seemed that Chiang Li was truly hungry and ate with gusto.

At this time, Shen Ningran's phone rang. Shen Ningran answered the call.

Night bid farewell with a low and magnetic voice, "Solved"

Don't worry, it's all sorted out.

So the person you arrested is Bo Jin Yu

"Hmm."

Shen Ningran felt that Ye Ci was truly a magical person.

She can know what's happening here easily, even though she is far away in country y.

"I shouldn't have let you go in the first place."

Shen Ningran smiled faintly, "It's inevitable that we'll face it. You can't protect me forever, and I can't keep causing you trouble."

"Who said I was giving you trouble I'll go pull his tongue out."

"I!"

"Farewell,…"

A period of silence in a conversation.

After a long silence, the man let out a low, dismissive chuckle. “I’m too tired to deal with you.”

Ms. Shen, what a coincidence, we meet again.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from beside him.

Shen Ning's eyes flashed, she glanced sideways, raising her eyebrow slightly.

Guan Xin Yue was looking directly at her with a smile on her face.

Half an hour ago, we were arguing with each other. Now, seeing so many people around, she pretends to be best friends. If she didn't act, it would be a waste of talent.

There was also a woman standing beside her—Shen Jiaoxue.

Her half-sister.

These two people are completely alike in personality. They were best friends before, and now that they're appearing together, Shen Ningran isn't surprised at all.

"Coincidence I don't think so." Shen Ningran smiled coldly.

Could she not have come here on purpose

"Sister" Shen Jiaoxue called out to Shen Ningran in a coquettish manner. "Xinyue said you were back, and I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect to see you today."

"Making a show of things, even a meal comes with dirt."

Jiang Li stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, not even looking at them.

The two seemed to have not heard Jiang Li's words. Shen Jiao Xue stepped forward, her face filled with worry as she looked at Shen Ning Ran and continued, "Sister, where have you been all these years Grandma and Dad are very worried about you."

Shen Ningran frowned, a wave of disgust washing over her.

Shen Jiao Xue looked up and down at Shen Ning Ran, glancing at her clothes, which she couldn't tell the brand of, and then glanced at the food on the table.

Shen Jiao Xue seemed to have gained a sense of superiority, raising her lips in a sneer, "Sister, it seems like these years haven't been kind to you. Jin Xuan Ge is an expensive restaurant, can you even afford to eat here with your current capabilities"

Shen Jiao Xue looked at Shen Ning Ran with disdain and contempt in her eyes.

Guan Xinyue on the side couldn't help but smirk, a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

Shen Ningran's face turned cold. She said into the phone, "There are two disgusting things that have appeared. I'll hang up first."

"Mm." Ye Ci had heard the entire conversation clearly. She hung up the phone, her voice turning colder, "Jinxuan Pavilion!"

Shen Ningran said indifferently, "Is it any of your concern"

Shen Jiao Xue looked at Shen Ning Ran's cold face, a look of grievance on her face. "I just wanted to show concern for my sister. Sister, how about this When you leave later, just call me a word, and I'll pay for the bill for your table together. Let's treat ourselves as sisters. After so many years apart, let me treat you."

Shen Jiao Xue gave me a look of utter disdain, as if I were beneath her, and she was doing me a favor by even acknowledging my existence.

"You're all here to eat, why are you determined to make everyone feel uncomfortable" Shen Ningran was a little annoyed.

Guan Xinyue pursed her lips and frowned, “Miss Shen, Jiao Xue is your sister, she’s just trying to help you pay the bill. You don't have to speak to her like that.”

Then you teach me how to speak Like the two of you, being so pretentious Well, I'm sorry, I can't learn that.

Shen Ningran's voice held no trace of pleasantness, clearly unwilling to play along with these two shameless women.

Guan Xinyue and Shen Jiaoxue's faces turned cold.

Shen Jiao Xue let out a cold snort, "Sister, so many years have passed, and you're still the same as before. I truly don't know what gives someone like you, who has nothing, the audacity and pride."

Shen Ningran, upon hearing this, actually smiled and said, "What you've given me, a person who has nothing like myself, is it worth your envy and jealousy It's also my own ability. Am I not worthy of being proud"

"Who envies and hates you What do you have that we envy and hate Xinyue is about to become Mrs. Bo, Shen Ningran, you are just an abandoned woman. The envious one must be you."

As soon as Guan Xinyue mentioned this, a smile of undeniable triumph spread across her face.

Yes, she is about to be engaged to Bo Jinyu.

She is only one step away from becoming Mrs. Bao.

Those who should envy and hate are Shen Ningran.

Thinking of this, Guan Xin Yue crossed her arms and looked at Shen Ning Ran with even more disdain in her eyes. She took out an invitation card from her bag and placed it on the table.

"Miss Shen, I forgot to give this to you before. This is the invitation to my engagement with Ah Jin. Welcome to attend our engagement banquet."en with displeasure, "Why come out alone""Because...because the maid at home said that you and grandma, aunt went out shopping together. I was tired from practicing the piano, so I wanted to come out...
