Xu Tingyu was also feeling a bit drowsy and didn't take the words too seriously.
She just turned over, grabbed Youyou's hand, and said, "Uncle is not in the capital. He said he'll bring you a gift when he comes back. Then we'll have a meal together."
Not long after her emergency business trip, Shen Yan also left the capital.
His family immigrated abroad many years ago, but in recent years, they've been quite optimistic about the domestic market and have made many investments here.
Previously, Shen Yan's elder sister, Shen Dai, came back because of an investment project.
The Shen family invested in a new - energy vehicle company in the country. Their first new car model has already been completed and is currently undergoing final debugging. A press conference will be held soon.
The Shen family attaches great importance to this project. Since Shen Yan happened to be in the country, he became the best project leader.
Shen Yan left and hasn't come back yet. When they contacted each other yesterday, he said he'd been at the factory for the past two days and might as well live there.
Xu Tingyu knew that he was very serious at work, so she didn't bother him too much. She just sent him a cheering emoji.
After hearing Xu Tingyu's answer, Youyou looked a bit down, but quickly adjusted, "Okay."
Neither of them knew that the soundproofing of the children's room wasn't that good. Their conversation was clearly heard by Qi Shifeng next door.
He lay in bed and let out a soft sigh.
Sure enough, in Xu Tingyu's heart, besides work, Shen Yan still held a relatively important position.
His jewelry and flowers were years late.
But it didn't matter. He'd never encountered many setbacks in his life and was never short of patience and perseverance.
The next day, Xu Tingyu really moved back to the hotel.
To her surprise, Qi Shifeng didn't say much. He just arranged a car and told her to come over when she was free.
Without even looking back, she got in the car directly.
After returning to the hotel, her two assistants came to go over the latest work with her.
The performance was approaching, and all the work couldn't afford any mistakes.
They'd done this kind of thing more than once, but there were always new challenges every time.
Xu Tingyu also had to rehearse the dance. In the afternoon, she went to the venue to check if there was anything that needed to be changed.
As a result, outside the venue, she met the Su siblings again. Zhao You was also with them.
She was a bit surprised. She didn't expect that after the last argument, the three of them could still get along calmly.
When Su Yi saw Xu Tingyu, his eyes lit up, while Su Yue's face immediately showed a cold look.
Zhao You's expression was more complicated. Different from her previous anger and disdain, this time, there was a bit of fear in it.
Originally, the people had nothing to do with each other. But Su Yue was always fearless. When she saw Xu Tingyu, she would definitely provoke her.
"Aren't you Miss Xu? I didn't expect you to come to work in person."
Xu Tingyu loved to argue with her because the other party could never beat her and would always run away in a hurry. This feeling was really stress - relieving.
So she smiled slightly, "That's right. I can't compare to Miss Su. She can survive just by drinking the northwest wind."
In terms of being sarcastic, she was never inferior to anyone.
Su Yue was still overconfident but incompetent. After being said like this, she immediately jumped up in anger, "What's so great about you? You're just relying on men."
"Previously, you were dating multiple men at the same time and got exposed. You sent your little lover abroad overnight. Then you had to coax Young Master Shen and President Qi. You must have put in a lot of effort, right?"
She was clearly envious, but she tried hard to make a contemptuous expression, which made her facial features look ferocious.
Xu Tingyu still smiled, "You seem to know a lot. How about it? Have you been sleeping under my bed every day? You know so much about my affairs. Could it be that you like me?"
"Let me state in advance that I'm not interested in you. There's nothing about you, from your appearance to your personality, that I like."
She deliberately sized Su Yue up and down and then shook her head.
After all, they'd played together for many years when they were kids. She knew that Su Yue cared most about her appearance. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been the first one among them to learn how to put on makeup.
In recent years, she'd been exhausted mentally, and her finances were tight. Most importantly, she'd been arguing with people all day long and living in fear.
So she looked older than her peers.
She was already very self - conscious about this. Now that Xu Tingyu said it out in public, she was so angry that she almost spat out blood.
"You, you're still as eloquent as ever. Those men were just deceived by you."
Su Yue was so angry that she trembled. After scolding, she looked at Su Yi and Zhao You, hoping that the two of them could help her.
Who would have thought that Su Yi pretended to answer a call and walked to one side. But out of the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to Xu Tingyu.
And Zhao You also seemed to ignore Su Yue's hint. She just looked at Xu Tingyu with a complicated expression.
Xu Tingyu then felt it was boring.
She'd originally planned to scold the three of them and vent all the grievances from today's work.
Unexpectedly, these three people were all weaklings. One was belligerent but had weak combat power.
The other two didn't seem to want to get involved at all.
But what was wrong with this Zhao You?
The last time they met, wasn't she still very fierce? Why had she suddenly changed?
Just as she was wondering, Zhao You suddenly spoke, "Xu Tingyu, you're really amazing. I admit defeat."
What did this mean?
Xu Tingyu frowned slightly, "What aspect are you referring to? I have quite a few advantages. I'm not sure what you're talking about for a moment."
"Miss Xu, don't play dumb with me. You made President Qi target my family step by step, making it difficult for my family to move forward. And you made it clear that it was because I offended you."
"Now, I can't stay at home anymore. My parents kicked me out, and I don't even have a chance to apologize to you and beg for your forgiveness."
"Seeing me in such a sorry state, you must be very happy. This is your amazing part. You don't have to do it yourself. There will naturally be someone to do it for you."
There was a resentful look in her eyes.
During this period, she'd been very unhappy. Since the incident at the bar last time, the Zhao family's business was almost ruined.
Moreover, the Qi family's targeting was very obvious. They might as well have announced publicly that they were going to wipe out the Zhao family.
Zhao You was severely scolded by her family and was immediately kicked out.
She also knew that she'd offended someone she shouldn't have.
So she repeatedly promised her parents that she would go to Xu Tingyu in person to apologize and beg her to show mercy.
But it was useless. Her parents clearly stated that the Qi family had said that they didn't allow her to bother Xu Tingyu.
If they found out, her situation would only be worse.
Most importantly, now the whole capital knew that she'd offended the Qi family.
It meant that in the capital, she had no one to interact with.
People had the natural instinct to avoid harm. They would automatically shield her from the circle and marginalize her.
This was where she thought Xu Tingyu was ruthless.
Knowing that she cared most about her face, Xu Tingyu stepped on her face.
After being kicked out of the house, she really had nowhere to go. Her card was frozen by her family, and even her house was taken back. So she had no choice but to rely on Su Yi.
Fortunately, Su Yi probably thought that after all, she was the daughter of the Zhao family and would definitely go back in the future, so he gave her a place to stay.
