“Sure!” Xianggu laughed, originally thinking that Gu Qiangwei would be angry and feel stood up!

When she hung up the phone, Nangong Mingchuan and Tang Yuyan unexpectedly did not leave.

Gu Qiangwei lifted her gaze and glanced at the two of them. If Xianggu wasn’t coming, then there was no need for her to stay and have a meal here anymore.

“Friend isn’t coming?” Tang Yuyan spoke up.

Even Nangong Mingchuan was somewhat surprised.

Because Tang Yuyan had always been a woman of few words, let alone with strangers, she had never taken the initiative to say so much even to acquaintances.

...

“Yes.” Gu Qiangwei pursed her lips and nodded.

They must have deduced from her earlier conversation that she had arranged to meet a friend.

“Would you mind joining us?” Tang Yuyan said with a smile, looking at her.

Gu Qiangwei was taken aback, a bit surprised.

After all, this was only their second meeting.

Confronted with her invitation, Gu Qiangwei suddenly didn’t know how to refuse.

After hesitating for quite some time, she awkwardly began, “No, it’s okay, I…”

“Consider it a thank you for the last time you gave up the book for me.” Even Tang Yuyan wasn’t clear why she was inviting this unfamiliar girl to dinner.

Subconsciously, she felt this girl to be very familiar and not at all like a stranger.

But where this feeling came from, she herself could not understand.

It was as if these words inviting her to dinner had just naturally slipped out.

Her persistence made the words of refusal stuck in Gu Qiangwei’s throat.

After all, the middle-aged woman standing before her bore the shadow of her mother.

“Let’s go.”

Tang Yuyan took the initiative to link arms with her and headed toward the second floor.

Gu Qiangwei, stunned, watched the familiar sideline of her face and followed her steps upstairs.

Upon entering the private room, there sat a boy of about ten years old.

“Xi.”

“Mommy’s here!”

The boy’s face showed little expression when he saw Tang Yuyan, but it was clear that he was very close and intimate with her.

Indeed, this woman appeared much younger than her mother and had a son who was only about ten years old.

She must be in her thirties, too.

“Come over, meet a friend.” Tang Yuyan said smiling, pulling her son and then turning to Gu Qiangwei, “Mommy’s friend, named…”

Tang Yuyan paused, only then remembering she didn’t know Gu Qiangwei’s name.

Gu Qiangwei quickly said, “Gu Qiangwei.”

No sooner had she spoken than the expression on Tang Yuyan’s face visibly froze.

Gu Qiangwei…

“Your name is Gu Qiangwei?”

Nangong Mingchuan also spoke up in surprise, looking at her.

At their astonished expressions, Gu Qiangwei was baffled.

“Yes.”

So, was she the girl Qin Sijue liked? Or was it just a coincidence of identical names?

“She’s Mommy’s friend, Gu Qiangwei.”

A few seconds later, Tang Yuyan regained her composure, the smile still present on her face as she spoke to her son, Nangong Xi.

The boy looked at Gu Qiangwei, his gaze lingering for a few seconds, “Hello!”

“You should call her sister!” Tang Yuyan corrected, watching her son.

He was always like this, impolite, not fond of addressing people.

It was then that the boy pursed his lips, not showing any dislike for Gu Qiangwei, but somewhat reluctantly called out, “Hello, sister!”

Gu Qiangwei smiled, the awkwardness of moments before vanishing with the breeze.

“Hello.”

“Please sit here.”

She gestured to Gu Qiangwei to sit down beside her.

Facing the family, Gu Qiangwei felt somewhat uneasy, but still took a seat politely.
