The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Seeing that even her mother was saying this, Yun Huan could only suppress her displeasure and said with great dissatisfaction, "That's true, but I'm already a little disgusted by her doing this so quietly and secretly. She didn't even say anything beforehand. Oh well! Anyway, I have Huai Nan now. I have no interest in knowing who she wants to hook up with or attract other men."

Seeing that Yun Huan no longer objected, Li Meng smiled and said, "Yes, you already have Huai Nan. It's okay to let your sister receive some attention from others. Just make sure Yun Shu doesn't steal the spotlight from you."

Hearing Li Meng's words, Yun Huan looked up at Yun Shu, who was sitting quietly in the corner. Yun Shu was dressed as usual, without much embellishment. However, she was naturally beautiful and had a slender figure, so she looked good in anything. The key was that she wasn't interested in her father's birthday, so why would she dress up to attract attention?

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Yun Huan's eyes. She thought that after tonight, no matter how beautiful she was, it wouldn't matter; she wouldn't be able to compete with her for a man anymore. The Gu family's assets also belonged to her and Yun Le; she wouldn't get a single penny.

"Mom, has Cousin Jiancheng arrived yet?" Yun Huan thought of a key figure.

"Isn't it over there?" Li Meng pointed in a direction to Yun Huan.

"The medicine is ready. Once the banquet starts, we'll administer it to them as soon as they're not looking. But why hasn't Huainan arrived yet? Our two families live so close. Could something have prevented him from coming?" Yun Huan said worriedly. Just as she finished speaking, a tall and handsome figure entered through the door. It was none other than Sheng Huainan. Who else could it be?

"Well, here she is! Look how anxious you were." Li Meng teased. It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home. This child is just like her when she was young. She was also very infatuated with Gu Cheng, so she begged her father to help her marry Gu Cheng no matter what.

"Mom, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to find Brother Huainan." After saying that, Yun Huan hurriedly lifted her skirt and headed towards where Huainan was standing.

The living room was crowded, mostly with people from the compound and close relatives of the Gu family. Gu Chi's family was away on vacation and didn't attend. Old Master Gu, whom Gu Cheng had greeted earlier, was currently having tea with everyone.

Yun Huan came to Huai Nan's side, and Huai Nan wanted to see Yun Shu, so he was about to go to find her.

"Brother Huainan, you're here!" Yunle said happily.

Yun Huan was about to greet Huai Nan when Yun Le suddenly appeared and started chatting with him first. This immediately angered Yun Huan; what was Yun Le up to today?

Seeing Yun Huan's displeasure, Yun Le guessed that her older sister had a bad temper and must be blaming her. However, her plan had only just begun, so after greeting Huai Nan, she walked away and let Yun Huan talk to Huai Nan.

Yun Shu's expression softened a bit, and she was about to say a few words to Huai Nan when Huai Nan turned around, saw Yun Shu, and walked towards her.

Yun Huan hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Huainan, I have something to tell you. Can you give me a few minutes?"

Huai Nan looked at the woman in front of him with impatience. Even though she was dressed up today, she didn't evoke any goodwill in him. These twins were no easy task, and he couldn't be bothered to talk to them much.

"I have nothing to say to you. I need to talk to Yun Shu." After saying that, he shook off Yun Huan's hand and went to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu was anxiously waiting for Xu Ruo to come to the Gu family. She wondered if that damned woman had forgotten to come. Just as she was about to call and urge her, she saw Huai Nan walking towards her.

Behind Huainan, Yun Huan bit her lip in dissatisfaction. In Huainan's eyes, there was only Yun Shu, and she couldn't see the other members of the Gu family at all, which was why she disliked Yun Shu more and more.

Huai Nan approached Yun Shu and saw that she was dressed as usual, unlike the twins who dressed in a flamboyant and seductive way. He hadn't wanted to come, but her mother had forced him to. He had never liked crowded places.

"Have a cup of tea!" Yun Shu poured him a cup. Ever since she learned that Huai Nan was willing to break off their engagement, Yun Shu suddenly felt no pressure being with him, and instead felt a little guilty.

“I can tell you don’t like these kinds of occasions either,” Huai Nan said with a smile.

Yun Shu nodded. Although it was a family affair, what did it have to do with her? And all the people who came were strangers to her, so it wasn't interesting at all. She would just sit outside for a while, and then go back inside. Once Xu Ruo arrived, she would slip away when no one was looking.

"You talk to them. I might need to go in and lie down for a while. I went to bed too late last night and I'm sleepy now."

Yun Shu made up a lie; she was leaving soon and didn't want to involve Huai Nan.

"Okay, you should get some sleep later. This kind of occasion isn't very interesting anyway." He also wanted to leave if possible.

The two exchanged only a few words before the food was served, and the dinner began. Yun Shu absentmindedly looked towards the door; why hadn't A Ruo arrived yet? If she didn't come soon, they wouldn't have a chance to leave after dinner.

Xu Ruo was about to leave home when her father, Xu Yang, started feeling unwell. He had gone out for a business dinner, drank too much, and now had a splitting headache. Xu Ruo was both angry and anxious; the old man was causing trouble at home, and Ashu was still waiting for her.

Her father was holding her hand. At that moment, he was crying like a child, telling her about his past with his mother. Every time his father got drunk, there was no peace at home.

Unable to leave, she could only anxiously call Brother Kun.

"Hey, Kun, are you free right now?"

"What's wrong?" Mingkun was having dinner with Tietou and the others after work when he received Xu Ruo's call, which surprised him quite a bit.

"Brother Kun, I'm busy right now. Hurry up and go to the Gu family to pick up Ashu. It's Ashu's father's birthday today, and Ashu wants to sneak out to meet you." Xu Ruo said anxiously. It was already seven o'clock, and she was too embarrassed to admit that Yun Shu had promised to pick her up earlier.

Mingkun, on the other side, understood immediately. He went to the counter to pay the bill and then said to Tietou and the others, "You guys eat, I have something to do and I have to go first."

Upon hearing this, Tie Tou immediately said, "Brother Kun, you've only just sat down and haven't eaten much yet!"

Mingkun waved his hand and then hurriedly fired the cannon.

"Jin Yuan, why is Brother Kun in such a hurry? I don't think I've heard anything about it."

"It must be about Yun Shu, your sister-in-law's situation. Kun-ge is really troubled by it lately." Jin Yuan had heard a bit from Xu Ya, so he knew more than Tie Tou.

“Yun Shu… I haven’t seen her recently. I thought she broke up with Brother Kun.”
