Upon hearing Shu Yunfang’s words, Gu Tingyu said blandly, "Today I came with a friend, so why don’t you and your friend sit at another table? There are other empty seats."

Only then did Shu Yunfang turn her gaze to Yiyi, and upon seeing a girl opposite with exquisite features and exceptional beauty, her smile slightly stiffened. However, she had maintained a smile since just now, not letting anyone notice.

"Brother Tingyu, who is she?"

Shu Yunfang asked a question with composure,

At this moment, Song Weili hurriedly pulled Shu Yunfang and whispered in her ear, "I told you about her before, Mo Yiyi, the Song family’s newly adopted daughter."

Upon hearing Song Weili’s words, Shu Yunfang couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows, looking at Yiyi with less defensiveness than before, and a perfectly fitting smile on her face, instantly making one perceive her as a dignified lady.

Knowing Yiyi’s identity, she felt relieved. She had, of course, heard about the Song family adopting a goddaughter and knew this Mo Yiyi was acknowledged by the Chu family from the countryside and then was accepted by the Song family as a goddaughter. However, she also heard that Mo Yiyi didn’t really have a blood relationship with the Chu family, her mother was just adopted.

Thinking of this, Shu Yunfang looked at Yiyi and asked, "Are you a friend of Brother Tingyu?"

Although Shu Yunfang had been smiling warmly and dignifiedly since earlier, making people feel friendly, Yiyi intuitively didn’t like this girl in front of her. Therefore, instead of answering, she asked, "And who are you?"

"Brother Tingyu and I grew up as childhood friends. Our families are neighbors, and we even attended the same schools from childhood to adulthood." Speaking of her and Gu Tingyu’s past, Shu Yunfang’s face was full of tender smiles, and her gaze at Gu Tingyu was filled with admiration.

Seeing this, Yiyi understood clearly that the girl in front of her, Shu Yunfang, obviously liked Gu Tingyu. Moreover, now speaking in front of her about anecdotes between her and Gu Tingyu, Yiyi’s initial good mood was all gone.

Gu Tingyu, however, glanced at Shu Yunfang and said, "We weren’t in the same university, so you were mistaken earlier."

Shu Yunfang: "..."

Hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, her previously downcast mood instantly brightened.

Earlier, she had thought Gu Tingyu and Shu Yunfang were childhood friends and had a great relationship, but now seeing Gu Tingyu’s attitude towards Shu Yunfang, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

"Brother Tingyu, no matter what, growing up together is undeniable, so don’t mind this little mistake. But why did you suddenly come here to eat today, without inviting me? You clearly knew I wanted to come here for a long time. Today’s meal was only possible after reserving for a long time."

Shu Yunfang’s smile remained unchanged, and her tone inadvertently had a coquettish feeling.

A lady originally poised and virtuous revealing such a charming demeanor made people suddenly feel a bit dazzled.

However, Yiyi wasn’t dazzled; she actually felt this Shu Yunfang was not simple and knew how to use her advantages.

"Since it’s been reserved for a long time, you all should quickly sit and order some dishes."

Seeing Gu Tingyu’s repeated coldness, Shu Yunfang couldn’t help but bite her lip, and finally, she showed a smile and said, "Alright, then I’ll go sit over there with my friend."

After Shu Yunfang and Song Weili sat down, there was some silence between them. Eventually, Song Weili spoke, "Yunfang, let’s go ahead and order the dishes."

At this moment, Shu Yunfang wasn’t in the mood for eating, not even interested in the specialties she always missed, so she waved her hand and said, "You go ahead and order."

Song Weili didn’t say much more, and started ordering several dishes according to her own taste.

She had heard about this restaurant long ago, but the reservation list here was too long, and jumping the queue was not allowed. Previously, someone tried jumping the queue and was severely taught a lesson; reportedly, that person came from a family with quite a background, so nobody jumped the queue after that, knowing this restaurant was not simple.

She had tried reserving several times before without success, and eventually gave up. She was quite happy to come with Shu Yunfang today, but didn’t expect to run into Mo Yiyi and Gu Tingyu.

"Yunfang, I’ve ordered already. Do you want to order any more?"

Shu Yunfang shook her head and said, "No need, I’ll eat whatever you ordered."

Upon hearing Shu Yunfang’s words, Song Weili didn’t comment further.

When the dishes arrived, Shu Yunfang looked at Sun Weili and said, "Wei Li, you were really wronged this time. You’ve lived in the Song family for so many years, and still couldn’t have your uncle acknowledge you, and they decided to recognize Mo Yiyi from who knows where instead."

Song Weili’s face directly turned sour upon hearing this.

It’s inescapable that she felt wronged; leaving her biological parents to come to her birth family from a young age, she thought she would become the daughter of Song Chi and Song Xiaoqing, but they didn’t want to recognize her. It was only Old Mrs. Song who found her pitiful and took her in.

Old Mrs. Song treated her very well, just like a real grandmother, hence she gradually got used to living in the Song family, thinking this would sustain, that everything would remain as it was, but now such a status quo has been broken.

The Song couple recognized Mo Yiyi as their goddaughter, and now her situation became awkward.

Shu Yunfang naturally didn’t miss Song Weili’s unpleasant expression, and she continued, "But Wei Li, things are like this now, you’ll just have to endure a bit. But don’t worry, I’ll take you out to eat delicious food often to make you feel happier."

However, Shu Yunfang’s words didn’t comfort Song Weili; her face became harder, and finally, she took a deep breath, trying to suppress the jealousy, unwillingness, and resentment erupting within.

"Alright Yunfang, let’s stop talking about these discouraging matters and hurry to eat. The dishes here are truly the best I’ve ever tasted."

Shu Yunfang chuckled and didn’t say more, slowly eating together with Song Weili.

Meanwhile, Yiyi and the others were almost done eating.

"Yiyi, later let’s head to Houhai."

Yiyi nodded with a smile, then glanced at Shu Yunfang’s table, and said, "Gu Tingyu, won’t you say goodbye to your childhood friend?"

After all, Yiyi still felt somewhat unhappy, knowing a woman coveting the man she fancied affected her mood. Especially since that person grew up with Gu Tingyu.

Fortunately, Gu Tingyu wasn’t interested in that woman; otherwise, she’d be quite downcast.

Gu Tingyu directly shook his head and said, "No need."

Actually, ever since high school, he barely interacted with Shu Yunfang, let alone studying at the same university thereafter.
