Seeing Song Zhiji's gloomy face, Su Heng felt a sense of satisfaction.

Today, all the insecurity I felt because of Song Zhiji has vanished thanks to Liang Qing's care.

He was so happy that he drank a few more mouthfuls of the water Liang had poured out.

Like Chen Cuo, he had just noticed the doting look in Liang Qing's eyes.

He saw his own reflection in Liang Qing's eyes, and he also narcissistically thought that he looked really cute when he smiled.

No wonder Liang Qing looked at him like that.

Now that he's discovered this, he should make good use of it and get Liang Qing to pay more attention to him.

He was happily eating his meal when he realized halfway through that his desire to get Liang Qing's attention was actually a sign of liking her.

He belatedly realized that he had actually fallen for Liang Qing again!

He couldn't help but steal a glance at Liang Qing sitting opposite him. She was using a fork to twirl spaghetti and put it into her mouth, eating very elegantly.

With each glance, my heart beats a beat faster.

Liang Qing didn't notice Su Heng's furtive glances, but Song Zhiji did.

He was so angry that he pressed harder with the fork he used to cut the steak.

Song Zhiji is usually good-tempered, that's because others haven't crossed his bottom line.

Su Heng's provocation just now was almost a blatant declaration that he wanted to take her away from him.

Faced with a love rival, Song Zhiji would never back down.

While they were having their meal, Liang Mu and Gu Wei came out of the private room and saw them as they passed through the lobby.

“My sister is over there, shall we go over and say hello?” Liang Mu said softly to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei looked in the direction he pointed and saw the only girl at that table. Looking at that somewhat familiar face, she was momentarily lost in thought.

Gu Wei said, "She has grown up a lot more than she looks in the photos."

Liang Mu chuckled at her elder-like remark, saying, "You're only a year older than her."

Gu Wei found it funny after hearing this and laughed along with him.

Liang Mu asked again, "Do we want to go over there?"

Gu Wei shook her head, took out sunglasses from her bag and put them on. "Never mind, you go ahead, I'm leaving now."

Liang Mu didn't insist on her saying that, and after seeing her out the door, he turned back.

Su Heng was the first to spot Liang Mu; his seat was directly facing the door.

Upon seeing Liang Mu approach, he stood up almost immediately, leaving the other three somewhat bewildered.

Upon seeing Liang Mu, Su Heng inexplicably became nervous and stood up as if by reflex.

Su Heng thought it might be because he had just confirmed his feelings for Liang Qing, and when he suddenly saw Liang Qing's "parents," he felt guilty and did something so embarrassing.

But having already stood up, Su Heng couldn't just sit back down without doing anything. He composed himself, smiled, and called out, "Brother Mu."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Liang Mu was a little surprised but didn't say anything. She smiled and greeted him in return, "Long time no see, Xiao Heng."

When he greeted Liang Mu, his earlier action of standing up no longer seemed abrupt; in other people's eyes, he actually appeared very polite.

Liang Qing was the second to stand up, and Liang Mu happened to walk up to her just as she stood up.

Although Liang Qing has no memory, she has a natural affinity for Liang Mu. After their brief chat last time, they have grown even closer.

She was quite happy to see Liang Mu, so she decided to invite him to dinner. "Brother, what a coincidence, have you eaten yet?"

Liang Mu replied with a smile, "I've already eaten. I saw you when I passed by the lobby, and I only had time to come back and say hello after seeing a friend off."

Seeing Liang Qing's affectionate attitude towards him, and noticing the similarity in their features, Song Zhiji almost immediately guessed the identity of the person in front of him.

Liang Qing is an only child. If you were to name any relatives of similar age to her, they would only be her second uncle's two sons.

Song Zhiji overheard his mother saying that the eldest son of the Liang family patriarch's younger brother died last year, so the man in front of him must be Liang Qing's other cousin.

To his surprise, Su Heng knew Liang Qing's cousin and was being so attentive to him.

Song Zhiji felt that Su Heng was even more scheming, as he was secretly targeting Liang Qing's relatives and friends.

He and Chen Cuo also stood up to greet him.

Song Zhiji happened to be wearing a suit today, so his greeting was a bit more formal.

He extended his hand to Liang Mu and said politely, "Brother Liang, hello, nice to meet you. I am Song Zhiji."

Upon hearing his name, Liang Mu immediately recognized him, grasped his hand, and smiled, "Hello, no need to be so polite, just call me Liang Mu."

Although Chen Cuo didn't know anything about Liang Qing's family, he could guess a bit from their attitude and Liang Mu's surname. He wasn't as formal as Song Zhiji, and like Su Heng, he called her Brother Mu.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group sat down again and chatted and ate for a while.

During that time, Liang Mu received a phone call and had to leave.

After saying goodbye to him, Liang Qing and the others buried themselves in their food again.

Su Heng chewed on the beef in his mouth, feeling increasingly uneasy as he thought about what had just happened.

After Liang Mu sat down, he actually chatted the best with Song Zhiji among the group, and they even exchanged contact information in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, they were only talking about business, and Su Heng couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Although Su Heng would occasionally help his older sister with social engagements, it was limited to entertaining; Su Yan handled all the details of collaborations.

He glanced at Song Zhiji and, seeing his composed demeanor, guessed that the Song family had probably started entrusting him with some business matters.

Thinking of this, Su Heng wasn't too surprised. The Song family only had him as their son, so who else could they give him to if not him?

However, Su Heng did not feel inferior because Song Zhiji was doing well in business or because he got along better with Liang Mu.

Everyone has different strengths, and there is no perfect person in the world.

There's only one thing that makes him feel inferior: Liang Qing's attitude.

He discovered that although Liang Qing treated Song Zhiji well, there were still boundaries.

Su Heng felt that Liang Qing did not seem to have any romantic feelings for Song Zhiji.

Since Liang Qing has no romantic feelings for Song Zhiji, what is there for him to feel inferior about?

Just as Chen Cuo said, his family background and appearance were no less than Song Zhiji's; the only thing he lacked was his concern for Liang Qing.

If he starts treating Liang Qing well from now on, he will eventually surpass Song Zhiji.

Moreover, it seems Liang Qing prefers his looks; otherwise, why didn't she give Song Zhiji that kind of look?

Furthermore, there is another bond between him and Liang Qing: they both have a certain pursuit of art.

Does Song Zhiji have one?

He gets along well with Liang Mu, but not with Liang Qing; it doesn't matter.

Liang Mu wouldn't side with Song Zhiji just because he and Song Zhiji get along well.

Not to mention that Liang Mu was unaware of his and Song Zhiji's feelings for Liang Qing.

Thinking about all this, Su Heng's slight disappointment at not being able to join the conversation earlier vanished.
