Chapter 100: All Gathered Together, Drama Unfolds!
Di Wenjun paused, her hand holding the teacup still.
He looked at Shang Shixu with a puzzled expression.
Tao Mengshu patted his leg under the table.
Di Wenjun turned to look at her, and Tao Mengshu leaned closer and muttered softly, "Did Shang Shixu take the wrong medicine today?"
Di Wenjun whispered in her ear, "They probably had a fight."
This was the only reason he could think of.
Pei Heyun assumed that Shang Shixu and Gu Manning had just had a fight.
Relationship problems are causing me frustration, and I have nowhere to vent my anger.
Pei Heyun decided not to stoop to the level of someone acting irrationally.
He faced Jiang Wan and continued to try to find topics to talk about.
"I'd like to visit S University tomorrow, could you be my tour guide?"
Just as Jiang Wan was about to make an excuse that she had something to do, a cold, sharp voice rang out again from across the street.
"Your parents have arranged a blind date for you tomorrow."
Pei Heyun's smile froze completely.
He turned and glared fiercely at Shang Shixu, his eyes saying, "How dare you undermine me?"
Besides, he had no intention of going on the blind date at all!
Shang Shixu didn't even glance at him, and slowly sipped his tea.
Di Wenjun couldn't help but speak up to smooth things over, "Pei Zi, let's eat first, the food is getting cold."
Pei Heyun picked up the bowl, feeling frustrated, and shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
Jiang Wan remained in a state of subtle confusion throughout.
She knew Shang Shixu's sharp tongue all too well.
But isn't Pei Heyun his childhood friend?
The intention to undermine them couldn't be clearer.
Did the two have some kind of private conflict?
This is highly likely.
Jiang Wan didn't dare to think about anything else.
Her current identity is "Chibi Maruko-chan".
He was just a stranger who had met Shang Shixu a few times.
But thanks to him, my ears are finally at peace.
Here, Shang Shixu's patience has run out.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to his assistant.
[End negotiations immediately]
Three seconds later, the other party replied:
【Yes】
After reading the reply, Shang Shixu suddenly got up and walked towards the door.
His action instantly drew everyone's attention.
Di Wenjun: "Where to?"
Shang Shixu: "I'll answer a phone call."
Jiang Wan felt a sense of relief when she saw him open the door and walk out.
That oppressive feeling is finally gone.
Hopefully, this phone call will get him to leave immediately.

Inside 207 private room.
The initial talks between the two parties went smoothly.
The representative from Dingsheng ended the conversation, citing other appointments with other guests.
The other party had also booked the same private room with the next group of guests, so Gu Manning tactfully took her leave with her subordinates.
Stepping out of the private room, just three steps away, stood a tall figure.
After seeing who it was, Gu Manning was furious!
Why is the business time sequence here?!
The man's sharp eyes shot straight at him.
Gu Manning forced a smile.
He turned and whispered in his subordinate's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You go first."
Although the subordinates were puzzled, they knew what they should and shouldn't ask.
She walked away first.
Gu Manning didn't forget that she was portrayed as having a sore throat, so she forced herself to remain calm and took out her phone to type:
What are you doing here?
"Having dinner with friends."
The man's tone was indifferent.
Gu Manning quickly typed down a line:
Okay, you eat first, I'll go now.
Shang Shixu raised an eyebrow slightly.
"No rush. Since we've run into each other, let me introduce you to some friends."
After saying that, he pushed open the door to room 206.
The four people inside the door, including Jiang Wan, were all attracted by the noise and looked out curiously.
Shang Shixu was standing at the door, but did not come in.
Outside the door, Gu Manning knew she couldn't escape it any longer.
She clenched her fist, took two steps forward, and stood at the door of VIP room 206.
He turned his head and looked into the private room with a smile.
The next second, the smile froze on his face.
Inside the private room.
Jiang Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
Shang Shixu kept his eyes fixed on her, not missing a single detail.
He subtly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Are you scared already?
The real show has only just begun.
Inside the private room.
Pei Heyun spoke first, warmly greeting, "Welcome, Miss Gu, please come in and have a seat."
Gu Manning stood at the door, caught in a dilemma.
She pulled out her phone and quickly typed a line into her notes app:
I have a sore throat and can't speak, sorry.
I'll flip the screen to show you.
Di Wenjun and Tao Mengshu nodded knowingly.
Shang Shixu stepped into the private room first and sat back in his seat.
Pei Heyun pointed to the chair next to him, "Miss Gu, sit there, next to Brother Xu."
Gu Manning walked over stiffly, and when she sat down, she looked up at Jiang Wan.
The two looked at each other across the distance and immediately exchanged glances.
Gu Manning: What's going on?!
Jiang Wan: Don't ask me, I'm confused too!
Shang Shixu remained calm and gave a light sneer.
Pei Heyun glanced at the two people opposite him, his eyes darting around, and he suddenly felt that his chance to make Shang Shixu suffer had come!
"Brother Xu, why aren't you serving Miss Gu some food? Her throat is sore, you should take better care of her."
"She can't use her voice, not her hands," Shang Shixu retorted casually.
Pei Heyun was momentarily speechless, but undeterred, he continued his attack.
"Tch~ You're just being stubborn, but you're more enthusiastic about giving gifts than anyone else."
"Didn't you order a couple's bracelet well in advance for Miss Gu's birthday?"
Couple bracelets?
Jiang Wan paused, her chopsticks still.
So those things were a pair...
She subconsciously looked at Shang Shixu, and the man's cold, sharp gaze met hers.
Jiang Wan hurriedly looked away, her chopsticks tapping against her teacup with a crisp sound.
The tea rippled slightly, stirring up a storm in her heart.
