After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 18 Childhood Sweethearts and a Sudden Appearance

This was the first time Yuska had ever received a card from someone other than her family.

She didn't hesitate at all. Wedding preparations were already underway, and her relationship with Meng Weiyuan was a done deal. Wouldn't it be pretentious to refuse a man's offer at this time? Besides, she was willing to agree to her family's arranged marriage because she knew that the son-in-law her father had chosen wouldn't let her life be worse than before.

“I’m a big spender,” Yuska muttered to herself.

Yu Kui-ching jokingly calls herself a money-shredding machine at home, which speaks volumes about her ability to spend money.

Meng Weiyuan stood outside and opened the car door for her. "Perfect timing. I'm not good at much else, but I'm good at making money."

Upon hearing this, Yusjia burst out laughing.

She reached out and placed her hand on the arm that was offered to her, and gracefully got out of the car.

After sleeping all afternoon, Yusjia wasn't very hungry.

Upon arriving at the private room of the Japanese restaurant, Yusjia tried two pieces of sashimi and then put down her chopsticks.

"Not to your liking?" Meng Weiyuan asked.

Yusja shook her head. "I'm not hungry at all."

Meng Weiyuan frowned. Looking at the slender figure opposite him, he felt that You Sijia was a little too thin.

"I want an ice cream cone," Yusjia suddenly said, remembering that this chain of Japanese restaurants offered free snacks.

Their ice cream cones have always been highly praised.

I don't want to eat a meal, but I want to eat snacks.

Meng Weiyuan wasn't usually a talkative person, so he naturally didn't approve of You Sijia's eating habits. But when he met You Sijia's big, innocent-looking, watery eyes, Meng Weiyuan couldn't bring himself to refuse and immediately prepared to ring the bell.

"I'll go by myself!" Yu Sijia stopped Meng Weiyuan. "It seems they have a new flavor, I want to try it."

Meng Weiyuan had no choice but to give up.

Yu Sijia never expected to meet Tang Yayi here.

She had met Tang Yayi a few times when she went to Harvard to find Gu Yu.

However, after learning that Gu Yu and Tang Yayi were together, she never appeared in front of them again.

Tang Yayi had arranged to have dinner with her close friends, as she hadn't been in a good mood these past few days.

"You said you couldn't meet up with Gu Yu, isn't that normal? He just returned to China, and he's probably busy taking over a bunch of things at home. Where would he find the time?" The person who said this was Tang Ya Yi's best friend since childhood, named Fu Yue. She knew that her friend still had feelings for Gu Yu after they broke up.

Fu Yue didn't think there was anything shameful about Tang Yayi's inability to let go. She had met Gu Yu and knew that his family was not an ordinary one. Even Tang Yayi, a young lady whose family owned a media company, was no match for Gu Yu.

Besides, Gu Yu himself is quite good-looking.

It's perfectly normal for Tang Yayi to be unable to forget her ex-boyfriend, who was outstanding in every way.

Tang Yayi shook her head and poured herself a glass of sake. "But he's already in Beijing, doesn't he have time to meet up and have a meal with me?"

A woman's intuition gave her a bad feeling.

Even after she broke up with Gu Yu, and the two were separated by distance, Gu Yu had never been so cold to her.

This made her a little uneasy.

"Does he have other women around him?" Fu Yue asked.

Tang Yayi propped her head up with her hand, "He used to have a childhood sweetheart by his side."

“Didn’t you say before that Gu Yu treats her like a younger sister?” Fu Yue patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry, it’s always the unexpected that defeats the childhood sweetheart. Since Gu Yu has known his sister for so many years and they’re still not together, it’s probably unlikely they will be now.”

While comforting Tang Yayi, Fu Yue scrolled through her phone. "I heard from Zhang Qi that Gu Yu's family might be planning for him to get married soon after returning to China," Tang Yayi said.

Before Fu Yue could react, Tang Yayi drank another glass of wine. "His mother has always liked his childhood sweetheart, his younger sister. I'm worried..."

"Holy crap!" Fu Yue exclaimed in surprise. It wasn't because of Tang Yayi's words earlier, but because she saw a message from someone in the same city: "You know that alley opposite the Forbidden City, right? We went there a few days ago."

Fu Yue's family is in marketing and has many collaborations with Tang Yayi's family's media company. She herself is also a minor internet celebrity in Beijing, often posting photos of afternoon tea or travel online, a typical rich and beautiful woman.

Tang Yayi: "Hmm? I know."

"That house is actually lived in!" Fu Yue exclaimed. "I just saw a post on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) that someone went there to check it out today, and guess what? While they were taking pictures, the front door actually opened! My goodness, that's such a dramatic scene!"

Tang Yayi wasn't very interested. "That house must have an owner."

"The point is that I saw this blogger's reply below, and the people coming out of that courtyard house were a handsome man and a beautiful woman." Fu Yue's tone was somewhat envious. "They must be young masters and ladies from some family in Beijing. To be able to buy a courtyard house in that area, tsk tsk, they really have too much money to burn."

Although her family also owns a company, their net worth is nothing compared to that of established wealthy families in Beijing.

Even her friend Tang Yayi's family is nothing compared to these centuries-old families with profound heritage.

As Fu Yue was talking, she realized that her friend next to her was not responding. She wanted to show Tang Yayi the photos she had in her hand. The blogger was really audacious. When someone in the comments section asked for the photos, she actually posted the back view of a young couple.

Although the image was somewhat blurry, Fu Yue could still clearly see the small crocodile skin crossbody bag that the girl in the photo was carrying—a bag that wasn't even available in China.

She had been influenced by foreign bloggers on Instagram to buy certain products, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Turning her head, Fu Yue saw Tang Yayi staring at a girl walking in the dessert area.

"Do you know him?" Fu Yue asked casually.

Tang Yayi's heart was pounding; she hadn't expected to run into You Sijia.

She actually found it hard to forget Yuska.

When the other party appeared in front of her and Gu Yu, she could sense that the latter had the same aura as Gu Yu, the aura of people from the same social class.

Gu Yu treated her like a younger sister, taking good care of her.

Moreover, Yustia's appearance is truly unforgettable at first glance.

Her company has signed many popular celebrities, but even among the current crop of young actresses who are very popular on screen, none of them can match You Sijia's temperament.

She was a pampered young lady who had been spoiled by wealth.

Youski is probably the only person who can wear haute couture as everyday clothes.

“That’s Gu Yu’s childhood sweetheart’s younger sister,” Tang Yayi said.

As she said this, she looked down and sent a message to Gu Yu.

[Tang Yayi: Where are you?]

Gu Yu replied quite quickly this time, "Let's eat out."

Tang Yayi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when she saw the message.

“They should be eating together,” Tang Yayi said. “Gu Yu is here too.”

So, did Gu Yu refuse my invitation tonight because of You Sijia?

When this realization dawned on Tang Yayi, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
