He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Zhou Fu.

Fu Lu's childhood betrothal.

So, when Fu Lu said he was busy during this time, was he busy dating Zhou Fu?

Suddenly, a thought popped into my head.

She wanted to rush in and confront them.

In the end, she simply left quietly.

When we arrived at the private room, all the dishes had already been served.

When Wei Yinuo saw that it was Song Zhi, she immediately waved to her with a smile: "Auntie, come over, let's sit together."

Song Zhi snapped out of her thoughts, put on a smile, and walked towards Wei Yinuo.

During the meal, Wei Yinuo noticed that Song Zhi seemed a little absent-minded. She put down her chopsticks and asked with concern, "Auntie, what's wrong? Don't you like these dishes?"

Song Zhi snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head slightly: "No, I like it very much."

Wei Yinuo pouted: "You're lying. You barely ate any and you still say you like it."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi smiled somewhat awkwardly: "No, it's really delicious."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Wei Yinuo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately grinned, "I'm glad you like it. I was worried you wouldn't like it."

Song Zhi shook her head and said softly, "I like it."

Wei Yinuo relaxed and started talking to Xu Ning about the start of the school year.

Feeling a bit bored, Song Zhi took out her phone and sent a message to Fu Lu, asking if he was busy.

As soon as the message was sent, Fu Lu replied.

"Yes, I'm off work. I just finished eating."

Song Zhi tightened her grip on her phone for a moment, then edited a message and sent it.

Do you eat alone?

【yes. 】

It was followed by a pitiful emoji.

When Song Zhi saw those two words, her heart sank to the bottom.

Why did Fu Lu lie to her?

Song Zhi couldn't understand it.

"Auntie, what are you daydreaming about?"

Wei Yinuo's voice pulled Song Zhi back to reality.

Song Zhi composed herself and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."

"You're on your phone even while eating? Are you very busy?"

"No, I'm just looking at houses and preparing to move."

Song Zhi said something casually.

Wei Yinuo was somewhat surprised: "Moving?"

Song Zhi nodded: "Yes, my dad is about to be discharged from the hospital. The house I live in now is too small, so I plan to move."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo immediately became interested: "Does my uncle know? My family owns many properties. Ask him to give you one."

Song Zhi smiled somewhat awkwardly: "This... isn't a good idea."

Wei Yinuo disagreed: "What's wrong with that? You're going to get married anyway, so what's his will be yours."

Song Zhi still refused.

Xu Ning, who was standing nearby, said, "Auntie, I have a property, a three-bedroom apartment. If you're interested, you can borrow it to live in."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No need, I'll take another look myself."

Xu Ning said, "Anyway, my house is just sitting empty. It's conveniently located nearby, quite close to your workplace."

Wei Yinuo chimed in, "Yes, Auntie, I've seen his house, it's quite nice."

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then, I'll pay the rent."

Xu Ning declined: "No need, it's all empty anyway, just consider it as me guarding the house."

Song Zhi insisted on paying the rent, and Xu Ning had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, then I'll give you five hundred yuan."

Song Zhi's lips twitched.

Five hundred dollars.

In this place where land is incredibly valuable, 500 yuan isn't even enough to rent a toilet.

Before Song Zhi could even speak, Wei Yinuo quickly agreed: "Okay, five hundred yuan it is. Otherwise, we can take my aunt to see her after we finish eating. We still have time."

Xu Ning nodded: "Okay."

After finishing their meal, Xu Ning went to the garage to drive the car first. Song Zhi and Wei Yinuo tidied up before leaving the private room hand in hand. As they passed the private room where Fu Lu had dined earlier, they subconsciously glanced at it.

Only the waiters were clearing away the dishes inside; clearly, the two had already left.

"Yinuo, are you and Miss Zhou on good terms?"

Wei Yinuo asked with some confusion, "That Miss Zhou?"

Song Zhi reminded her: "Zhou Fu."

Without thinking, Wei Yinuo said, "Aunt Zhou Fu is such a nice person, I like her very much."

After saying that, Wei Yinuo felt a little embarrassed, thinking about what she had said to Song Zhi when they first met. She quickly added, "Of course, my favorite person now is my aunt, hehehe."

Song Zhi smiled, intending to ask about Zhou Fu, when she suddenly heard Wei Yinuo exclaim in surprise.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing here?"

Following her words, Song Zhi looked up and saw Fu Yao walking towards them.

She was wearing a light blue Chanel-style suit, light makeup, and carrying a Chanel bag. She looked much more mature, and you would never guess that the girl in front of you was a student from a poor family.

Fu Yao walked over gracefully, stood in front of them, and greeted them with a smile: "You came here to eat with your boyfriend. Are you eating here too?"

Song Zhi was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Is Zhou Yan here too?

Wei Yinuo excitedly took Fu Yao's hand and said, "Wow, your boyfriend is here too! Introduce him to us!"

Fu Yao nodded generously: "Okay, but my boyfriend hasn't arrived yet. He won't be here for a while, so you might have to wait a bit."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo immediately felt a little disappointed: "Then we can't wait, we have other things to do."

Fu Yao smiled and said, "That's a bit of a pity. I'll introduce you to him next time I have time."

As she spoke, she reached out and brushed aside the hair that was draped over her shoulders.

Song Zhi's gaze unconsciously fell on her neck, and she paused for a moment after seeing the necklace on her neck.

This necklace looks a bit like the one Wei Yinuo lost.

For a moment, Song Zhi was not quite sure. She looked at Wei Yinuo and found that she had not noticed.

She smiled at Fu Yao and raised an eyebrow: "The necklace around your neck is really beautiful, it suits your temperament very well."

As Song Zhi spoke, a hint of panic flashed in Fu Yao's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She smiled, adjusted her collar to cover the necklace, and said shyly, "My boyfriend gave it to me."

Wei Yinuo stared blankly at Fu Yao, and asked in surprise, "Your boyfriend gave this to you?"

How could it be such a coincidence?

This necklace is exactly the same as the one she lost.

Fu Yao smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Wei Yinuo looked at her neck and asked, "Can I take a look?"

Fu Yao paused for a moment, then gracefully pulled the necklace out of her clothes and introduced it, saying, "My boyfriend gave it to me for my birthday last month."

Wei Yinuo stared blankly.

The same.

She couldn't be mistaken; this necklace was exactly the same as the one her father had given her.

Wei Yinuo was pampered by her family since childhood and always said what she thought.

So after seeing the necklace around Fu Yao's neck, he directly questioned, "My dad gave me one on my birthday, and it's exactly the same as yours."

Fu Yao nodded: "Yes, I was quite surprised when I saw it. How could such a coincidence happen?"

"But I lost my necklace on my birthday night. Isn't that a coincidence?"
