So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

"..."

In the past, Yun Daidai might have retorted with, "This is the youthful vitality that Mother has lost," but now, she glanced at Zhou You.

She replied obediently and meekly, "Thank you for the compliment, Mother. You look beautiful today too."

"My dear daughter..."

"Sister Hua, you and Dai Dai look very beautiful today," Zhou You suddenly interrupted from the side.

"Hmm?" Yun Mingyue couldn't help but utter a soft question.

Yun Daidai's reaction was within her expectations. Her increasingly shrewd, or rather, increasingly mature, obedient daughter would definitely not argue with her in front of Zhou You now.

She was just teasing Yun Daidai on purpose.

But Zhou You's sudden voice made her sense something unusual.

"Little brother, has something happened between you and Dai Dai recently?" Yun Mingyue asked with unusual sharpness, getting to the heart of the matter.

"..."

Before Zhou You could reply, Yun Daidai's body stiffened almost imperceptibly. It wasn't that she had any ulterior motives about being discovered by Yun Mingyue.

She was just a little afraid that Yun Mingyue would make Zhou You keep his distance from her.

Can't we even be ordinary friends?

Although she doesn't deny that she would definitely try to climb the social ladder if given the chance, right now she really just wants to be ordinary friends with Zhou You and doesn't want to do anything that would bother him.

A jumble of thoughts kept surfacing in Yun Daidai's mind.

At this moment, Zhou You spoke slowly and deliberately: "I've talked with Dai Dai a few times recently, and we've come to terms with some things."

"Have you come to terms with some things?" Yun Mingyue turned her head to look at Zhou You.

“It’s just… I think you should understand, Sister Hua.” Zhou You didn’t avoid Yun Mingyue’s gaze, but responded to her frankly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Mingyue narrowed her eyes, slightly furrowed her brows, and looked somewhat serious.

This made Yun Daidai, who was already nervous, even more nervous. Her hands, hidden under the table, involuntarily twisted together, her fingers forming a pretzel.

A while later.

"Actually, this is quite good."

Yun Mingyue seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere and continued speaking to herself, "Just pretend the two of you have never interacted."

In her view, Zhou You had let go, and Yun Daidai no longer posed a threat to her as her ex-girlfriend.

At least she no longer has to worry that Zhou You might suddenly realize that the 'white moonlight' he dated for three years in high school is his true love, and dump her to be with Yun Daidai.

Zhou You's ex-girlfriend, as his current girlfriend, is someone he has to pay attention to whether he wants to or not, but if it's just Yun Daidai...

They're just insignificant little girls like Ning Mengmeng and Chen Youzi.

"Mother, it's best that you think that way." Yun Daidai breathed a sigh of relief, loosened her grip on Yun Mingyue's hand, and replied calmly.

As for Yun Mingyue's statement, "Just pretend he and she never dated," that extremely unsuccessful relationship is better off gone.

Without the interference of the past, either he and she will remain ordinary friends forever, or she will get a chance to take things further, even if the hope of that chance is very slim.

"If you really misunderstand, I will be very troubled."

"I thought you, my dear daughter, would really want me to misunderstand."

"Mother, please don't say strange things." Yun Daidai placed her hands flat on the hem of her skirt that covered her thighs.

Yun Daidai certainly understood what Yun Mingyue meant. Wasn't she saying that if Yun Mingyue misunderstood and argued with Zhou You, she could take the opportunity to put on a show and display her green tea style to steal her boyfriend?

“Mother, you always view others with such outdated perspectives. Sooner or later you will suffer a great loss.”

Upon hearing Yun Daidai's words, which were neither a reminder nor a sarcastic remark, Yun Mingyue raised an eyebrow indifferently.

Her current confidence is the result of her long-term high position, and it's impossible for her to suddenly become cautious just because of a casual remark from Yun Daidai.

They have to consider everything carefully, think things over and over again, for fear of any unexpected events.

Is she still herself? Or is she still Yun Mingyue? The head of the Yun Group in Hangzhou?

330. Rebellion

"I'll take it as you being concerned about me, Dai Dai."

Yun Mingyue responded politely, and just then a waiter pushed open the door from the outside and put the food in front of the three of them.

The food was nothing special, just the usual set menu. The only difference was that, since we were there to express our gratitude to Yun Daidai, we asked her for her opinion and ordered a bottle of high-end red wine.

The popularity of red wine is not solely due to the prevalence of Western culture; it has its merits, given that our country has a long history of drinking wine.

Grape wine luminous cup, urge you to drink Pipa immediately.

After eating for a while, Yun Mingyue, being the only person at the table who wasn't a college student, curiously asked the other two about their college life.

"College life?"

Zhou You thought for a moment, "I just attend classes and occasionally participate in some activities. There's nothing special about me. Maybe Dai Dai's college life will be more eventful. I often hear people say that she's been publicly proposed to by some rich second-generation."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yun Mingyue looked at Yun Daidai with great interest.

"Do you really need to be so curious?"

A faint blush rose on Yun Daidai's face after drinking red wine, and the slight intoxication diluted her already limited aloofness.

"You must have experienced all of these things, right?" She looked at the woman in front of her, who, though unwilling to admit it, was indeed more charming than herself.

Now that she's 'older,' she's like a vixen. When she was young, she was incredibly alluring to men.

The number of men who knelt at her feet could probably circle Hangzhou several times over.

"No."

"Ok?"

"Because I didn't actually go to university properly back then."

Yun Mingyue's eyes held a hint of inexplicable emotion. "Instead of working diligently in the group like you, Dai Dai, preparing to take over the Yun Group, you created some projects that seem absurd and laughable now, vowing to earn more assets than the entire group on your own."

Despite having little talent, she was incredibly ambitious, a flower in a greenhouse – that perfectly describes her at that time.

Because she had never had a good relationship with Yun Mingyue since she could remember, Yun Daidai really knew nothing about Yun Mingyue's past.

"So you used to be this rebellious."

Yun Daidai couldn't help but feel contempt at first, then asked Yun Mingyue curiously, "So how did you turn over a new leaf later..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

"It seems you've already guessed," Yun Mingyue said calmly. "My parents suddenly had an accident."

As for whether the accident that caused Yun Mingyue's parents' deaths was truly an accident, according to Yun Mingyue's subsequent investigation, it can only be said that her parents were really unlucky.

"Therefore, I was forced to drop out of university halfway through and start taking charge of the Yun Group."

"So, Sister Hua, you've known about this for so long..." Zhou You, who already knew some of the details, hesitated before speaking.

He hadn't asked Yun Mingyue's age, but now it seemed she might be a little younger than he had imagined.

As Zhou You pondered, his gaze swept over Yun Mingyue's exquisite and flawless face. To be honest, he couldn't tell at all how old Sister Hua was.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. What's past is past." Yun Mingyue took a sip of red wine, the crimson liquid staining her lips.

She licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. No matter what kind of person she was before, she was now the wealthy female CEO, the head of the Yun Group, who held an unparalleled and special status in Hangzhou and was admired and even worshipped by countless elites.

“Mother, I suddenly have a question for you.” Yun Mingyue didn’t want to talk about this topic, but Yun Daidai seemed to have something on her mind. She stared at Yun Mingyue and asked.

Yun Mingyue responded to Yun Daidai's gaze and nodded, "Go on."

Yun Daidai didn't mince words. "You wouldn't be so strict with me since I was little because you were rebellious in the past, and you don't want me to become like you in the future, would you?"

"..."

"To be honest, that's part of the reason," Yun Mingyue didn't deny.

She felt that her past rebelliousness was wrong, so she didn't want her child to become like her, which is a very normal parental mentality.

However, the real reason is actually more complex and goes far beyond what is stated on the surface.

"You really are a mother who doesn't know how to raise children," Yun Daidai said with even more disdain.

"Hmph, you talk as if you're some good kid who makes my life easy." Yun Mingyue snorted coldly.

It looked like a thank-you banquet was about to turn into a family drama between Yun Daidai and Yun Mingyue.

In order to divert their attention and prevent it from really turning into a family drama.

Zhou You picked up a silver knife, stood up, and cut a piece of pan-fried M9 beef on the table into neat little pieces. He then sprinkled Himalayan rock salt and black peppercorns on the pieces and gave them to Yun Daidai and Yun Mingyue.

It seems that men are destined to do hard labor in times like these.

"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

He then told them some interesting stories, which made them lose interest in continuing their previous conversation. "Back when the Himalayas were still underwater, before dinosaurs existed, the seawater gradually disappeared, the earth's crust lifted up the mountains, and this salt... is a product of that era. Salt produced in the Himalayas, doesn't it feel amazing to eat?"

"No." Yun Mingyue forked a piece and put it in her mouth. "Let's not even talk about how many Himalayan rock salts on the market are fake. Even if they were real, I would have eaten them countless times. What magical feeling could they possibly produce?"

“I actually think the beef with this kind of salt tastes really good,” Yun Daidai said, saying something completely different from Yun Mingyue.

She took a bite of the sliced ​​beef, quietly watching Zhou You distribute the food to her, and after chewing, a beautiful smile of enjoyment appeared on her face.

This is the best food she has eaten recently.

Although the reason she thought it tasted good seemed to have nothing to do with the Himalayan rock salt.

Once the boy they valued was feeding them, the mother and daughter stopped their back-and-forth and quieted down. After finishing their main meal and dessert, they were full and satisfied, and Zhou You left the restaurant with them.

Yun Mingyue hooked her arm around Zhou You's, her pretty face flushed from drinking too much, and rubbed against his arm.

Yun Daidai consciously stayed to the side, quietly watching Yun Mingyue and Zhou You being intimate, feeling somewhat lonely.

Although she felt some sadness, she was content for the night.

She didn't deserve much right to be treated with such tenderness from him, something she hadn't done in a long time.

enough.

"Dai Dai." Zhou You, with his arm around Yun Mingyue, stopped outside the subway entrance and called out to Yun Dai Dai, who was about to go in.
