Chapter 50

The Song family certainly received the invitation, but Song Luokui did not go, mainly because her parents were away on business trips, and she did not feel comfortable going alone. However, she sent a gift.

As for her brother, he was away on a business trip abroad at the time. All three members of the family were busy with their careers, leaving only her with free time.

Just after Weng Jiao had finished complaining about Song Luokui's absence, Chi Yu sent her another message: "Your decision not to come was the right choice."

Song Luokui: ?

Chi Yu: "Met an idiot. [Picture]" The picture showed a slight stain on his clothes.

Song Luokui: "Was it Chen Xinyuan?"

Chi Yu: "Someone I don't know. How did you know?"

Song Luokui: "My girlfriend just told me the gossip from the banquet."

Chi Yu: "What are you up to?"

Song Luokui was lounging on her bed watching TV, "Watching TV and chatting with my girlfriends."

Chi Yu saw that it was still early, so he asked, "Want to grab a late-night snack? I know your brother is not around."

Song Luokui: ...

Chi Yu: "There's more gossip from the banquet."

Song Luokui: "[Perks up ears]"

Chi Yu: "Coming out?"

Song Luokui: "Out! Give me a moment."

Chi Yu: "I'll be waiting near the gate of the compound."

Song Luokui: "Got it."

Song Luokui changed her clothes and tiptoed downstairs. Fortunately, the housekeeper Gui was not in the living room, so Song Luokui quietly opened the door and ran out.

Once outside the compound, she saw Chi Yu's familiar car parked nearby. She ran over, got in, fastened her seatbelt, and said, "Let's go."

Chi Yu immediately started the car.

Chi Yu took her to a small alley and entered a courtyard house. Following the server's guidance, they entered a private room.

Small crawfish, grilled meat, grilled chives, grilled corn - ordinary street food that seemed more upscale in this setting.

Song Luokui, wearing gloves, peeled and ate the crawfish. "Today at the banquet, besides your encounter with the 'crying beauty,' what else happened?"

Chi Yu: "...'Crying beauty'?"

Song Luokui blinked: "Yes."

Chi Yu: "That's not a 'crying beauty,' that's a scam."

Song Luokui shrugged: "Alright."

Chi Yu: "Come closer, let me tell you."

Song Luokui moved her chair closer, and Chi Yu leaned towards her ear. He could see the small earring hole on her earlobe.

"The Zhang family's..."

Song Luokui made sounds of disbelief as she listened: "Ah?"

"Really?"

"No way!"

"He's actually that kind of person?"

"Anything else? More?"

Chi Yu then leaned down and told her other things.

Song Luokui felt like she had gained more life experience. Since they were gossiping, Song Luokui felt they should speak quietly and secretly, so her voice also became very soft. She did not notice that they were getting closer and closer.

After the gossip session, Song Luokui realized they were too close. She shifted her butt and moved her chair slightly, subtly keeping some distance from Chi Yu.

Of course, Chi Yu noticed. He looked at the distance between their chairs and said, "Your turn now."

Song Luokui swallowed a piece of meat, "What?"

Chi Yu: "Your turn for gossip."

Song Luokui: "I..." She was about to say she had no gossip, but then remembered the information she had obtained from chatting with her girlfriends at the previous tea party.

Song Luokui looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then whispered to Chi Yu: "I heard that the second son of the Qian family is not the biological son of the Qian family?"

Chi Yu looked at her, surprised that she even knew this kind of information.

Song Luokui: "I found out from chatting with my girlfriends last time. Do you know about this? Is it true?" She leaned closer as she spoke.

Chi Yu also leaned in: "I've heard about this before..."

The two got closer and closer as they spoke.

It was almost 11 pm when they finished their late-night snack and exhausted the gossip. Both felt satisfied as they headed home.

Chi Yu dropped Song Luokui off near her home, and she sneaked back in quietly. The housekeeper Gui was already asleep.

On the weekend, Zhang Xiyue invited Song Luokui to go shopping and see a movie. They went to the L Store to buy handbags.

As soon as they entered, Zhang Xiyue said, "I heard you recently got a new style? The only one in the country for now? Let me see it."

The staff politely seated them on a sofa, served them tea and snacks, and then brought out the newest handbag style.

At that moment, two more people entered and immediately noticed the bag in the staff's hand. "That bag, pack it up for me!" one of them demanded rudely.

Zhang Xiyue was furious. She turned to see who was being so rude and disregarding the order of arrival.

To her surprise, it was familiar faces - Li Feiyi, Chen Nan's cousin, and Chen Xinyuan, who had recently been kicked out of Weng Jiao's social circle.

Since Chi Yu and the Song family were not on good terms, Chen Nan, who was on Chi Yu's side, naturally did not get along with them either. Li Feiyi, as Chen Nan's cousin, also did not have a good relationship with Song Luokui, Zhang Xiyue, and their group.

Zhang Xiyue narrowed her eyes: "Li Feiyi, where are your manners? Don't you know the order of arrival?"

Li Feiyi spoke without thinking, but when she saw who it was, she did not regret it. "I was wondering who it was. It's you guys. Since it's yours, I'll take it."

Zhang Xiyue rolled her eyes and waved her hand in front of her nose. "How stinky! I don't know who has bad breath! It stinks to death."

Li Feiyi: "You..."

Li Feiyi looked at the staff, "Pack it up for me."

At this point, Chen Xinyuan, who was next to Li Feiyi, also spoke up: "Xiyue, Kuikui, why don't you give the bag to Feiyi?"

Zhang Xiyue glanced at her: "Who are you? What makes you think we should give it to you?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Chen Xinyuan's eyes widened, her eyes reddened, and tears threatened to fall, as if she had been bullied.

Chen Xinyuan sniffled: "I... I'm sorry... Did I say something wrong?"

Li Feiyi shielded Chen Xinyuan protectively. "Zhang Xiyue, why are you being so harsh? What right do you have to bully Xinyuan?"

Zhang Xiyue's eyes widened as she pointed at herself. "Me? Bully her? Are you blind? If you're blind, go to the hospital and get your eyes checked. Maybe they can be saved."

Chen Xinyuan continued to sob: "Never mind, Feiyi. Let's just forget it and let them have it."

Zhang Xiyue was speechless. "What 'let'? First come, first served. It's ours, got it?"

The staff did not dare say a word, afraid of offending anyone.

Chen Xinyuan was still crying, and Li Feiyi was comforting her. Zhang Xiyue felt utterly annoyed.

Finally, Song Luokui spoke up: "Xiyue, let's not take it. I just remembered that I have two of these bags. I'll give you one."

Zhang Xiyue: "Kuikui, how do you have them? I thought there was only one in the country right now?"

Song Luokui: "My brother sent them to me from abroad a few days ago. I just remembered. I have other things too. Do you want to come to my place and take a look?"

Zhang Xiyue: "Sure, let's go, let's go."

The two linked arms, ready to leave. As they reached the door, Zhang Xiyue suddenly turned and said to Li Feiyi: "Li Feiyi, I called you stupid before, and you didn't believe me. Now you're friends with that girl who just offended someone from the Chi family at the banquet? Good luck!"

With that, Zhang Xiyue left with Song Luokui.

Li Feiyi immediately turned to Chen Xinyuan: "Xinyuan..."

Chen Xinyuan quickly became flustered and tried to explain: "It was all a misunderstanding... I accidentally... " Her face flushed. "Chi didn't say anything. In fact, he told me he didn't mind."

Li Feiyi looked at her strangely: "He told you he didn't mind?"
