"Yiyi..."

"Why don't you go by yourself? I want to go home."

Su Manqing glanced at the signboard of the Fragrant Pavilion, and suddenly her voice became weak.

"What's wrong, Sister Manqing?"

Ye Yiyi clenched her fist and waved it in front of her:

"Don't worry, I'll put aside family ties for the greater good and kill that brat Lu Ming for you!"

Although I don't know how Lu Ming offended Su Manqing, it's so hard to find a job these days.

Ye Yiyi would never give up the chance to cling to a rich woman's coattails!

Ye Yiyi left in a hurry, only wearing a light yellow shirt over her white tank top, and a pair of denim shorts that exposed her fair and tender thighs to the air.

Su Manqing looked at Ye Yiyi, who was up to her chest, and her mood immediately improved:

"You're probably not even half as heavy as Lu Ming, so don't make me save you then."

Su Manqing is 172 cm tall. When she wears sky-high heels, she looks absolutely stunning in a southern city like Hangzhou.

In contrast, Ye Yiyi is only a little over 160cm tall.

A typical cute and cuddly little potato from the South.

"He dares!"

Ye Yiyi's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she raised her fist:

"If he touches one of my hairs, my sister will skin him alive when she gets home!"

Lu Ming's mother?

Su Manqing's mind raced, and she glanced at the time almost casually:

"It's already 6:30, and Lu Ming's mom still hasn't gotten off work?"

"What does she do for a living?"

Actually, Su Manqing also wanted to ask about Lu's mother's temperament and personality, whether she was easy to get along with, and whether she would scold people.

Even what kind of gifts they like...

But Su Manqing managed to hold it in.

Ye Yiyi's bright face suddenly dimmed, and even her voice lowered:

"My sister used to work two jobs to support Lu Ming's tutoring classes."

"Fortunately, Lu Ming changed his ways when he started high school, managed to get into Hangzhou University, and even won a scholarship."

"I tried to persuade my sister not to work so hard. She just smiled and said she's used to it, and Lu Ming will have plenty of other expenses in the future..."

Ye Yiyi's voice grew softer and softer.

She was just a 23-year-old girl who had just entered the workforce and had been severely exploited by her unscrupulous boss, who owed her more than two months' wages.

It was only after meeting Su Manqing that he had some money to spare.

Even so, she couldn't find any reason to help Lu's mother.

Given Ye Qin's personality, helping her would be tantamount to looking down on her.

Su Manqing opened her mouth, unsure how to comfort her.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been accustomed to using a cold and indifferent facade to deal with everything.

Given her family background, she had never truly experienced the harsh realities of society and couldn't imagine what it would be like to get off work past 5 PM.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

"Sister Manqing, look, Lu Ming is here, and he brought Mu Wanqiu with him!"

Fortunately, Ye Yiyi recovered in a short time.

She raised an eyebrow and pointed at a young couple in the distance.

Lu Ming was tall, but his steps were extremely slow.

Just then, Mu Wanqiu, who was looking down behind her, caught up.

He was muttering something under his breath, his eyebrows dancing with excitement.

Seeing a scene that seemed familiar, Su Manqing suddenly remembered that she and Lu Ming had taken a walk by West Lake.

At that time, Lu Ming was also enthusiastically acting as Su Manqing's tour guide, especially since his steps always followed Su Manqing's.

Su Manqing had twisted her ankle at the time, so she wasn't walking very fast to begin with.

But it was Lu Ming's thoughtfulness that made her insist on finishing her tour of West Lake.

Back home, Su Manqing secretly cursed Lu Ming:

That idiot! Even if he didn't dare carry her on his back, he could at least have taken a sightseeing bus...

I never expected this guy to be so gentle and considerate to everyone!

To paraphrase a once-popular saying, if the tenderness you give me isn't an exception, then I'd rather not have it!

"Okay, very good."

"Ye Yiyi..."

Su Manqing crossed her arms and sneered.

"exist."

Ye Yiyi's smile froze on her face, and she couldn't help but shiver, shrinking back as she replied.

After spending so much time together, this was the first time Su Manqing had called her by her full name.

Oh no, Lu Ming will have to go home gradually today.

Because he will be torn apart by five horses and scattered to pieces in a moment.

"Does your promise still stand?"

"Of course..."

"Alright, you go rush over there and kill Lu Ming. I'll pay whatever bounty you want!"

Su Manqing's high heels touched the ground, her face grim.

"Okay... alright..."

Ye Yiyi nodded solemnly.

Lu Ming is her beloved nephew, so she has to pay extra!

Of course, Ye Yiyi didn't dare say this to Su Manqing, who was in a fit of anger.

……

Lu Ming sneezed, temporarily pausing his explanation of the delicacies at Jiexianglou.

He was also listening to Ye Yiyi's story, and he was almost at a loss for words after talking the whole way.

"We're here. Go up to the third floor."

Lu Ming pointed to a building with a classic and simple decoration.

The Jiexianglou building is ingeniously designed, and even the elevators have been restored to an antique style, but without being mistaken for mere decoration.

Mu Wanqiu paused, her eyes lowered.

"I already told you that my sister's boss had something come up at the last minute, so we might as well eat here."

Lu Ming immediately understood Mu Wanqiu's hesitation.

In such a luxurious place, a single meal costs more than Mu Wanqiu's living expenses for one or two months.

Mu Wanqiu kept her head down.

"Since we're already here..."

"I already told my sister I'd bring you, you can't leave me embarrassed later, can you?"

"You know my sister, she has a sharp tongue!"

Lu Ming reached out and tugged at Mu Wanqiu's sleeve.

Mu Wanqiu's long eyelashes trembled, but she did not flinch.

She obediently let Lu Ming pull her into the elevator.

In the distance, Ye Yiyi also sneezed and muttered to herself:

"Who's cursing me?"

"I am a woman of exceptional intelligence and beauty; it must be someone secretly badmouthing me..."

Meanwhile, Su Manqing's teeth were chattering.

"They're holding hands!"

"Lu Ming just got into university, right? How old is he?"

After graduating with a master's degree, Su Manqing stayed on at the university as a counselor.

Her parents also agreed.

After all, Su Manqing had no interest in business, and being a university teacher was a respectable job.

Having lived on campus all her life, Su Manqing's mindset has remained stuck in high school.

Her biggest thought is to sue her parents!

"Although we are far apart, I am certain that Lu Ming is just tugging at Mu Wanqiu's sleeve."

Ye Yiyi tried to explain, but was met with Su Manqing's cold gaze.

"Okay, that's not right either!"

Ye Yiyi immediately changed her tune and began to introduce the two of them:

"They were suspected of dating when they were in junior high school."

"My sister panicked and skipped work to go to school..."

Su Manqing felt a pang of jealousy when she heard that the two had known each other since childhood.

But everyone has the instinct to enjoy gossip, and she couldn't help but ask:

"Breaking up a loving couple?"

Ye Yiyi nodded:

"It's even worse than forcibly separating a loving couple."

"Actually, these two were born in the same delivery room and have been inseparable for over a decade..."

Su Manqing's surprised red lips parted slightly:

"Childhood sweethearts?"

Miss Su suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

She couldn't see what Mu Wanqiu looked like.

But Ye Yiyi once described her as: the undisputed school beauty.

Although Miss Su also won this title when she was in school.

But her childhood sweetheart was too powerful, and she was finding it difficult to cope.

Ye Yiyi nodded again, recalling those days:

"At that time, my sister grabbed Lu Ming, walked to Mu Wanqiu's desk, and asked Mu Wanqiu if she liked Lu Ming..."
