Song Xi rushed to the bathroom, feeling she shouldn't have come today!
But thinking of her brother lying in the hospital bed, she could only take a deep breath.
Endure, Song Xi, endure one more time!
She rallied her spirits, preparing to re-enter the fray, only to see Yao Yifan standing by the restroom door, seemingly having waited for a long time.
"Miss Song, this is something the master prepared for you."
He handed her a shopping bag, which appeared to contain a change of clothes.
What did that mean? A slap followed by a sweet date?
His tactics were truly slick.
"I don't need it." Song Xi walked away immediately.
"Miss Song."
Yao Yifan blocked her path. "Be prudent. The master dislikes his people embarrassing him."
Indeed, anyone who followed Lou Yu Ming spoke with such unpleasant tones.
So what if she was embarrassing? Hadn't she embarrassed herself enough just now?
"Miss Song, don't do anything you'll regret."
Seeing her stubbornness, Yao Yifan directly placed the bag at her feet.
"I've said all I can. Please consider carefully."
Song Xi watched his retreating back and angrily kicked the bag with her foot.
Birds of a feather!
When Song Xi returned to the private room, dressed and tidied, she found a woman sitting in her previous seat.
It was Anna.
She was actively serving Lou Yu Ming food, and he did not refuse.
At that moment, a voice rang out, sounding somewhat familiar.
"Uncle, look how good Auntie is to you!"
The flippant tone made Song Xi's face turn ashen, her fingers on the doorknob trembling uncontrollably.
Even though her wounds had healed and she no longer had nightmares, the incident had left an indelible scar on her heart.
She knew she couldn't be so weak, that she had to overcome it bravely, but at this moment, she still showed her timidity.
"Miss Song is here?"
Someone noticed her, and all eyes immediately swept over.
Now, she had no choice but to enter.
"What are you doing here!"
Zhang Qi sprang up from his seat. Seeing the dress she was wearing, he inexplicably felt relieved. It was a different color from the dress worn by the woman in Lou Yu Ming's car.
He knew it. How could Lou Yu Ming possibly be interested in her!
"Come on, I have something to ask you!"
Song Xi struggled fiercely. "Let go!"
Lou Yu Ming's gaze deepened, focusing on the hand Zhang Qi used to grip Song Xi's arm, as if trying to bore a hole through it.
Anna, however, recognized the dress Song Xi was wearing at a glance.
It was a new autumn collection piece, not yet available in the country.
How could a poor student afford this? So it could only be...
Anna took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She proactively poured Lou Yu Ming a glass of wine, as if deliberately asserting her claim in front of Song Xi.
Song Xi's train of thought was indeed disrupted by her action.
She took a step back and shook off Zhang Qi. "Let go, we've broken up!"
Zhang Qi naturally wouldn't agree. Just as he was about to say something, Song Xi's face turned cold. For some unknown reason, she dared to directly warn him.
"With so many people here, you'd best not provoke me! If I reveal what you've been up to, let's see how you'll have the face to stay in this circle!"
Her words indeed worked.
Zhang Qi was most afraid of being caught by Lou Yu Ming again, especially in front of so many people.
Thus, he reluctantly returned to his seat, frustrated and unwilling.
Song Xi sat next to Teacher Sun, as it was the only empty seat.
This small interlude did not affect the others, as everyone's attention was on Anna.
Especially Zhang Qi's use of the word "Auntie" solidified the relationship between this woman and Lou Yu Ming.
While everyone was surprised, questions arose:
When did Lou Yu Ming get married?
