After returning from the Nan family's old house that time.

After making inquiries from various sources, Yang Yu confirmed that Nan Yannian did not have a secret girlfriend.

The only person who could elicit such a gentle expression from Nan Yannian is probably Nan Shu, the newly found daughter of the Nan family.

This reignited Yang Yu's fighting spirit.

After all, Nan Shu had suffered for more than 20 years, so it's only natural for her brother to want to make it up to her and treat her better.

Once she becomes Nan Yannian's wife and Nan Shu's sister-in-law, she will treat Nan Shu well as well.

Simultaneously.

This gave Yang Yu a new idea: since Nan Yannian cares so much about Nan Shu, why not cater to his interests and invite Nan Shu to the birthday banquet?

And then leaked the information.

As for Nan Shu not coming, that was almost entirely outside of Yang Yu's considerations.

She felt that it was perfectly normal for Nan Shu, as the only socialite daughter of the Nan family, to represent the Nan family at banquets for wealthy ladies; she had lived like that since she was a child.

The Nan family is currently enjoying unparalleled success, but fortunes change, and who knows if they will decline one day.
Only through cooperation among established families can wealth and status be passed down from generation to generation—this was the education Yang Yu had always received.

So when the waiter informed Yang Yu last night that Nan Shu had not attended her birthday party, she was completely bewildered and even wondered if the waiter had missed it.

But as it turned out, Nan Shu did not come.

As a result, Yang Yu was subjected to a lot of ridicule, both overt and covert, last night.

This made Yang Yu very embarrassed, but she still tried to find an excuse for Nan Shu, wondering if Nan Shu had some case to deal with.

Unexpectedly, I saw Nan Shu playing with her friends here today. In other words, Nan Shu deliberately didn't come to her birthday party last night, making her feel embarrassed and ashamed.

Think about this.

Yang Yu stared at Nan Shu's face, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"Ms. Nan may have had plans with her friends beforehand. She has been a homeless person since she was a child, so it's normal that she might be a little shy around strangers."

Yang Yu smiled and tried to justify herself.

Upon hearing this, Qi Jing scoffed and didn't say anything more hurtful.

The Qi family and the Yang family still have a cooperative relationship. It's okay for her to step on Yang Yu's landmines a few times, but if they really break off relations, her living expenses may be reduced by more than half.

The others all agreed.

"Yes, it's normal that Miss Nan isn't familiar with our circle. Let's go to the third floor for a meal. I heard there's a seven-Michelin-starred restaurant there, and all the ingredients are freshly flown in daily..."

"I'm a little hungry too, Sister Yu, let's hurry up and go."

"..."

Yang Yu smiled and responded, then led the group away.

Nan Shu was unaware of this little incident.

After Ming Sheng opened up and spoke frankly, the atmosphere among the three became increasingly harmonious.

“I have a friend who is also here. He has already finished his visit. Rong’er and Xiao Nan, would you mind if he came along?”

Mingsheng glanced at his phone and asked.

"Who?"

Sister Vitamin D frowned; she didn't want anyone to disturb her and Xiao Shu's time together.

Ming Sheng glanced at Nan Shu, "Xiao Nan should know..." Although he said "should," his tone was very certain.

Nan Shu raised an eyebrow, about to ask a question, when she saw Sister Wei D pause and look behind her.

Nan Shu turned her head and looked in that direction.

When he saw who it was, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Forensic Doctor Xu?"

"Xiaoshu."

Xu Yunli's lips curved into a gentle smile. Ming Sheng's lips twitched. He and his girlfriend were still right there; didn't they have any manners?!
"I'm delivering some gifts to the directors of the hot spring resort on behalf of Grandpa. I didn't expect you to be here, Xiaoshu."

After explaining to Nan Shu with a smile, Xu Yunli looked at Ming Sheng and Sister Wei D, "Ah Sheng, Miss Wei."

"H-hello."

Sister D came to her senses and winked at Nan Shu.

Nan Shu: ...

Ming Sheng called out "Brother Xu" with a respectful tone, an attitude that reminded Nan Shu of Hu Guang.

Xu Yunli sat down in the empty seat next to Nan Shu without any hesitation.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

"Um... Brother Xu, we're going to see a movie later, do you want to come along?"

Ming Sheng spoke up to ease the tension.

Sister D sensed the gossip and remained silent.

"it is good."

Xu Yunli nodded, then naturally put on disposable gloves and began to break the crab legs for Nan Shu.

Mingsheng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Sister Wei D had a bellyful of questions she wanted to ask, and under the table, she pinched the soft flesh of his thigh and twisted it. Mingsheng quickly grabbed her wrist and whispered:
"Sister, I'll tell you everything later."

Only then did Sister Vitamin D withdraw her hand, satisfied.

"Thank you."

Nan Shu ate very naturally.

Xu Yunli: "We should soak in the hot springs for a while longer. Seafood is cold in nature and not good for your health."

Nan Shu agreed as she ate.

After the buffet ended, it was already past 2 p.m. The four of them watched a movie, and since they weren't too hungry, they decided to soak in the hot springs first and then eat something later when they got hungry.

Sister D booked a small hot spring bath with separate pools for men and women, separated by a wooden wall, which ensured privacy while also making it convenient for friends to chat and communicate.

Nan Shu took off her bathrobe and stepped into the hot spring pool. Her pores instantly opened up, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Comfortable."

Sister Vitamin D swam over to her and pinched her cheek. "What's so fun about staying home all day? This is what it means to enjoy yourself."

Nan Shu nodded in agreement. The spring water was a little hot, so Nan Shu leaned against the pool wall and relaxed her body.

Before long, she was floating on the surface of the pool. Nan Shu tilted her head with interest and asked Sister Wei D, "Sister Wei D, do you think I look like a floating corpse right now?"

Vitamin D Sister: ...

"Just shut up now."

Such a beautiful atmosphere was instantly ruined. Sister Vitamin D rolled her eyes, swam to the edge of the pool, poured a glass of fruit wine and handed it to Nan Shu, "I heard it's made from bayberries from the back mountain, all-natural and additive-free."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shu fiddled with the bottle for a bit, stood up, took it, and smelled it. She could indeed smell a strong bayberry aroma, but the alcohol smell was very faint. It should be just ordinary low-alcohol liquor, which was drinkable.

I took a small sip, and the taste of alcohol hit my head. The liquid slid down my throat to my stomach, bringing a burning sensation.

"Why is it so spicy?"

Nan Shu frowned.

"Yes, I heard the owner uses high-concentration rice wine, but it's quite refreshing to drink."

Sister Vitamin D actually likes it quite a bit.

Nan Shu stuck out her tongue, placed the cup by the pool, and dared not try again. She knew her alcohol tolerance and knew she had to be careful when traveling.

Nan Shu didn't expect that just one bite would make her feel dizzy and lightheaded when she came out of the bath, but apart from blushing a little, she didn't show any obvious signs of it.

"Sister Vitamin D, I'll wait for you in the private room."

Sister Vitamin D, who was applying a face mask, asked with some confusion upon hearing this, "Xiao Shu, aren't you going to blow-dry your hair?" (End of Chapter)
