Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Xiao Meng turned her head incredulously to look into Yu Zhe's eyes.

The look in his eyes seemed to be both a joke and a serious statement, making it impossible to tell how much of it was true.

But... Xiaomeng knew that Yuzhe would never have said this to her before.

Does this mean that my romantic pursuit of Yu Zhe has made some progress?

Waaah, Zhang Zhi, the strategist at home in heaven, do you see? I've made something of myself!

Just as Xiao Meng was about to jump off Yu Zhe's leg and back to the ground, completely satisfied...

There was a knock on the door of a private room in the restaurant.

This diverted everyone's attention and made Xiaomeng decide to sit there a little longer!

Yu Zhe responded naturally, "Please come in."

Two female waitresses from the hotel entered, each carrying a huge plate with at least ten dishes on it.

The waiters in these five-star hotels are all specially trained, and their professional skills are absolutely flawless. Even with so many plates in their hands, they can hold them steadily.

Yes, this only refers to professional skills.

Even though they serve food every day, a hint of panic appeared on their faces at this moment.

The boss just came to them personally and instructed them that this table must not be neglected and no mistakes must be made, because this is an extremely important customer, even more important than the boss himself.

The boss's exact words were: if this table is served smoothly as usual, he'll give them a bonus; if there's a problem, they can just leave.

It means to make them take it seriously.

But when the task was handed to them and the boss said those words, they became nervous instead.

I don't know who this customer is, or how important they are.

They didn't need to know any of this; they had expected to see a group of middle-aged men in suits discussing business upon entering, but instead...

They turned out to be a group of beautiful girls! And all of them were the kind of stunning beauties you would never normally see!

Is this what a rollercoaster of emotions is all about?

They were so startled that they almost dropped the trays in their hands and ruined everything.

Thankfully... they managed to stabilize the situation in time.

It's probably a dinner party for the daughters of the hotel's major shareholders?

They dared not ask that question. Following their usual practice, the two entered with smiles, closed the door behind them with their shoulders, and then stood beside Yu Zhe, who was seated in the main seat. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

But why did it feel like, the moment I stood there, there were more than a few cold gazes and ice spikes piercing me?

Wrong...it must be an illusion.

The girl in front didn't dare to be negligent. She first smiled and nodded to Yu Zhe, and then used her other free hand to serve the dishes on the table.

Wow...this silver-haired girl is so pretty.

Even among a group of beautiful girls, his temperament stands out, and you can even feel that he has an ethereal aura around him, as if he would shatter at the slightest touch.

Is "as cold as ice and as white as snow" the kind of girl that's being referred to?

Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng sat down on a chair to the side, making room for the two waiters to serve the food more easily.

Even though the two waiters were so nervous they were about to explode when serving the food, it turned out that their regular professional training and several months of work experience were still very reliable.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, perfectly completed the serving and plating of the twelve dishes.

As the sound of the soup spoon being placed steadily next to the pigeon soup rang out, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guest."

"Okay, thank you both. Oh, by the way, you don't need to give us any special treatment. You can go about your other business while we eat."

"Ok!"

Yu Zhe was just giving a heads-up. Without even thinking about it, if he didn't inform them in advance, the owner would definitely send over a complimentary dish every few minutes, which would be too much trouble, and they couldn't possibly eat that much.

The waitress who was close to Yu Zhe was truly a sight to behold.

I just had a conversation with this girl!

Perhaps it was because her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

Perhaps it's because people feel particularly talkative when they relax.

Perhaps it's because people who see someone so incredibly good-looking naturally want to strike up a conversation.

In short, whatever the reason, this waiter couldn't help but say one more thing, even though it seemed like a strange impulse.

"Miss, I'm speaking from the heart, not flattery, you are absolutely gorgeous! Oh, is that your little sister in your arms? She must be in elementary school now? She's so cute! Um... sorry, I... I've been talking too much. Anyway, please enjoy your meal. We'll wait outside. Please feel free to come to us if you need anything!"

After being reminded by another friend, the young woman also realized that what she said was too...

Duo quickly left the private room and closed the door again.

It's just strange... why did the silver-haired girl and the cute blue-haired loli both turn pale when I was speaking just now...?

Did I say something wrong?

On Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng's side.

Besides the two of them, inappropriate stifled laughter could be heard from the surrounding area.

Ha... laugh, after all...

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.

5. No way!

Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng looked at each other in silence, waiting for Xiao Meng to climb back to her seat before everyone began to enjoy their dinner.

Everyone has their own pain points.

But Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng are particularly obvious examples.

"Zixiao, I guess I should just cut my hair, okay?"

“No way.” Zixiao served Yuzhe food as usual, and said with certainty, “Although the result is cruel, this topic has already been concluded, there’s no room for discussion, okay? Otherwise, Yuzhe and I would feel regret, no, we should say grief.”

Is it that serious?!

See? It's not that Yuzhe doesn't want to cut it; it's that even if he did, it wouldn't make a difference. They would definitely force him to grow it back.

Since the result is the same, it's better not to cut it at all, so as not to upset them.

It's true... They always listen to me on other matters, so why can't Yu Zhe make his own decisions when it comes to his own affairs?

I protest!

Zixiao: Protest invalid.

....................

Everyone enjoyed the meal. The pressure of finishing the exams was released, and everyone had a lot to say about looking forward to the future.

About an hour later.

Yu Zhe answered a phone call.

He said a few words and put down his phone, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief that was prepared next to him.

This is the posture of preparing to leave.

Mo Lingyun also put down her chopsticks: "Brother Yuzhe, is something urgent?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. Yu Che called me and asked me to go to the company. It's probably just some trivial matter. I've already paid for the food here. You can just go out after you finish eating. Lu Ling is waiting outside. She'll take you home."

"Okay, brother, take care. I'll keep an eye on them."

Oh dear, Zixiao truly deserves to be Yuzhe's virtuous wife; the sense of security she gives him at this moment is truly touching.

Zixiao and Molingyun both knew why Yuche was making the phone call.

This wasn't the first time. Sometimes Yu Che was too busy at the company to go to Yu Zhe, so he would make up some excuses to get Yu Zhe to come to the company. Ostensibly, it was to get him to handle some business issues, but in reality, nothing happened. The only thing that happened was Yu Che's grateful and coquettish behavior.

In other words, she let Yu Zhe sit in her chair, and then she sat on Yu Zhe's lap to continue working.

According to her, this wasn't about creating trouble for no reason, but rather about replenishing her brother's energy. This was the most important factor in her work at the Su Group, meaning it was absolutely necessary!

Alright, alright. She's usually the busiest, so giving her special treatment in this regard is fine.

After saying a few words to Lu Ling, Yu Zhe left with Lu Yao.

The atmosphere cooled down considerably as the girls were left sitting around the table.

Thinking about it, many of the heated discussions just now revolved around Yu Zhe. Now that the key figure is gone, they have nothing to say.

Having some cakes and tea snacks would make for a nice tea party for girls, but this table of food clearly doesn't create that delicate and refreshing atmosphere.

Just as Zixiao was about to suggest that they each go back to their own homes...

Xiao Meng blinked, raised her arm to pat Qin Ruoke's shoulder, and asked with a smile.

"Zixiao, Lingyun, since Yuzhe isn't here, could you tell us about Yuzhe's mother? Her surname is Yang, right? I'm quite curious. Every time Yuzhe talks about his aunt, his eyes light up."

This sentence reminded Qin Ruoke: "Yes...yes! I'd like to know too."

"Hmm...? Well, of course."

Zixiao glanced at Lingyun, and she nodded in agreement.

"Well, that's a long story. I wasn't at the Su family's place at first, you know... that happened before that..."

The two listened intently to what followed.

In addition, since Zixiao and Yun'er never met when they were young, their time accompanying Yuzhe during their childhood was seamless. The two complemented each other, which allowed them to tell Yang Qiuyun's story vividly and realistically.

They even shared many interesting stories that neither of them knew.

That's how the conversation started.

Xiao Meng and Qin Ruoke listened very attentively.

Yu Zhe had previously mentioned that his upcoming round-the-world trip was primarily for fun, with bringing his mother back as a secondary objective. However, judging from his eyes at the time, the real main purpose was clearly the latter.

In every sense, Xiaomeng Qin Ruoke must and should first learn about Aunt Yang's affairs.

After all... in a few years, we might not call her "Auntie" or "Grandma," but "Mom"... so shouldn't we do some research beforehand?
