A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

The waiter turned around and saw Shen Nian entering the VIP room. He then smiled politely and replied, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't quite understand what you mean. We don't have staff washing dishes here. Waitstaff can only enter the VIP room with the guest's permission. Everyone here is a guest of our VIP room, so you can rest assured."

"How could that be?" Shen Ximan blurted out in a high-pitched voice.

How could Shen Nian be a guest here, let alone a guest in a private room? She's just a temporary worker who cleans tables and washes dishes.

"Madam, is there anything else I can help you with?" the waiter asked with a standard professional smile.

Shen Ximan looked unwillingly at the place where Shen Nian had just disappeared, but in the end she could only return to the hall.

She walked into the hall, saw Chu Yunyi's back, her eyes darted around, and then she walked to her seat and sat down.

When Chu Yunyi saw her return, he said to her, "Manman, why don't you order the food?"

Then he handed the menu he was holding to Shen Ximan.

He had just looked at the menu, and the prices here were outrageously expensive. But since Shen Ximan wanted to come, he figured, he might as well come. A man shouldn't appear stingy in public.

He and Shen Ximan were not actually together.

They are still just good friends, just like before.

On the night of Uncle Shen's birthday banquet, Shen Nian went out in the rain. After he chased after her, the two parted on bad terms, and Shen Nian proposed to dissolve their engagement.

He should have breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Shen Nian was no longer the little girl she used to be...

No matter how many women a man has, the wife he marries must be pure and innocent.

He was somewhat reluctant to actually fulfill the marriage agreement.

However, Shen Nian resolutely told him that she would break off the engagement and allow him to marry freely.

He felt uneasy again.

When they met again at school, Shen Nian was cold and sarcastic towards him, treating him more like a stranger than before.

This made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Shen Ximan quickly ordered the restaurant's signature dishes after looking at the menu.

She didn't care about the price at all, since it wasn't her money.

While waiting for the food to be served, she looked at Chu Yunyi hesitantly, then deliberately said, "Yunyi, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you..."

Chu Yunyi looked up at her and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you encounter some difficulties?"

Shen Ximan turned her head to look towards the VIP rooms in the restaurant, then turned back, her expression conflicted. "Actually... when I went to the restroom just now... I saw, I saw..."

"Who did you see?" Chu Yunyi asked impatiently.

Shen Ximan answered as if she were going to take a gamble, "I just saw... my sister Shen Nian..."

"How could that be!" Chu Yunyi blurted out, immediately retorting, "How could Niannian be here!"

Like Shen Ximan, his first reaction was disbelief that Shen Nian would appear in such a high-class restaurant.

He also speculated, "Does Niannian work here?"

Shen Ximan shook her head, feigning difficulty, "I originally thought the same thing as you, but... it seems that's not the case..."

Seeing Chu Yunyi's somewhat unpleasant expression, she added fuel to the fire, "I saw her go into that VIP room over there, but I don't know who she came with... Besides, the people who can eat in that room must be important figures. She really came for the money..."

Before Shen Ximan could finish speaking, Chu Yunyi suddenly stood up.

The chair he made made a jarring noise, which quickly attracted the attention of the waiter who came over to them.

This is exactly the effect Shen Ximan wanted.

She knew that Chu Yunyi had been going to school every few days lately.

He said his advisor needed to speak with him.

Who would believe that?

Not to mention that Uncle Chu gave Chu Yunyi a newly established branch of the Chu Group to practice with, and even gave him a sum of money to develop the business himself. Just handling company affairs is busy enough, yet he still finds time to stroll around the school.

It's obvious they're going to find that bitch Shen Nian.

After all, the two had a relationship of more than ten years, and Shen Ximan naturally understood that it couldn't be erased overnight, nor could she completely sever their relationship by saying a few words to Chu Yunyi.

The only way is to let Chu Yunyi see for himself, to witness firsthand how Shen Nian sold herself out for money.

He completely erased Shen Nian from his heart.

The waiter approached their table and politely inquired, "Good evening, gentlemen. How may I help you?"

Before Shen Ximan could speak, Chu Yunyi pushed past the waiter and rushed straight towards the VIP room.

Of course, he was stopped after taking only a couple of steps.

"Sir, what can I do for you? I can help you with that." The waiter asked, maintaining his professional demeanor.

"Get out of the way!" Chu Yunyi roared at the waiter in a furious tone.

"Sir, this is a public place. Please be mindful of your emotions. If you continue like this, we may not be able to serve you your meal." The waiter said indifferently, still wearing a professional smile.

Chu Yunyi was so angry that he didn't care what the person in front of him was saying and still wanted to find Shen Nian.

Of course, the restaurant staff would never allow him to disturb the guests in the VIP rooms.

He continued, "Sir, that's the restaurant's VIP room. There are guests dining there right now, so it's not convenient for you to go and disturb them. If you'd like to visit, you can apply in advance when our room is available."

"Should I go there now?" Chu Yunyi asked through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry, not right now. Please don't disturb the other diners," the waiter reminded him.

Shen Ximan did not expect Chu Yunyi to have such a big reaction. At this moment, many people in the hall looked in their direction.

She immediately felt extremely embarrassed.

She hurriedly grabbed Chu Yunyi, "Yunyi, don't worry, let's eat first, and we'll know who comes out later."

Chu Yunyi knew he couldn't force his way in, so he had no choice but to sit back down.

Previously, I had only heard Shen Ximan say that Shen Nian sold herself for money, selling alcohol in bars and such.

He felt uncomfortable, but it was nowhere near as shocking as finding out today that Shen Nian was having dinner with someone else in a private room.

Is she more at ease earning this shady money than he gives her money to spend?

Shen Ximan looked at Chu Yunyi's expression and felt secretly pleased.

She deliberately played the victim, saying, "Yunyi, I know my sister has never liked me or Mom, but when adults do wrong things, there's nothing we children can do to change it. I've always treated her like my own sister, and I always think of her first. I don't know why she's always so hostile towards me, doing things like this just to save face in front of Dad..."

"Hmph, she brought this upon herself, choosing to fall into depravity. She has no one to blame but herself," Chu Yunyi said angrily.
