Chapter 209: Open and Secret Fights at the Banquet Venue

Red wine, grape juice, and matsutake soup base were served at the same time. Several people drank some soup, but the drinks and wine were not opened yet.

After all the food was served, Zhao Yuxi asked the staff to leave. The service here was very thoughtful, but the more thoughtful the service was, the less it showed her habits and thoughts.

Zhao Yuxi wanted to use this dinner opportunity to teach Song Yihan another lesson, to let her understand that some things are not so easy to disguise: even if you do something with your heart, mistakes can happen at any time, not to mention that if you don't even have a sincere heart, then of course there will be many loopholes.

"When we have dinner together, we might say things that the staff can't listen to, so I asked them to leave. Everyone drank the soup, and drinking alcohol now won't be too exciting. After celebrating friendship, we are friends."

Song Yihan raised her lips, and her smile was a little disdainful: "I don't want to be friends with you, but it's good to be friends with a few other people, because I need them to tell me something about Gu Tingzhou. I have a feeling that even if I marry him, he will still hide a lot of things from me. I am not an ancient person, not even a recent ancient person. He is close to you and distant from me. You understand him, but I don't. Understanding you will help me understand him."

Gu Tingzhou's four friends, Zhao Yuxi, the professor, Xu Yingze, and Mu Zhengguang. Ignore Zhao Yuxi and the professor. Xu Yingze doesn't look like Gu Tingzhou's friend. Is she related to Gu Tingzhou? The person she likes may be Gu Tingzhou's friend, but she doesn't look like Gu Tingzhou's friend. Would it be unreasonable for me to ask Mu Zhengguang about his work in private?

No, I think I got something wrong. The "great professor" Zhao Yuxi mentioned is definitely not the great professor I understand. How can there be a great professor at the age of 20? This is just a virtual title. Logically speaking, her academic qualifications and her age are not enough to compare with a real professor. If you want to deceive her, you may succeed. If it is feasible, it is definitely more appropriate and more convenient to communicate with a great professor than with Mu Zhengguang.

To communicate with Mu Zhengguang, I have to go through not only Gu Tingzhou but also Xu Yingze, which is too troublesome. But then again, if I can communicate with Mu Zhengguang alone, like a boy of his age, can I get the information I want from him with just a little guidance?

Zhao Yuxi poured Xu Ying half a cup of grape juice.

Xu Ying stood up, took the cup with both hands and sat down.

Then, Zhao Yuxi poured half a glass of grape juice for Mu Zhengguang, who was closer to her.

The person farthest from Zhao Yuxi was Jiang Mengxi, but she was the first person to take the wine glass from Zhao Yuxi.

The second person to take the wine glass was Gu Tingzhou, and the third person to take the wine glass was Song Yihan.

Song Yihan could hardly conceal her pride when she took the wine glass. At this moment, she felt that the person who handed her the wine glass was not an ancient being, not a powerful figure, nor a colleague or friend of Gu Tingzhou, but an ordinary stranger.

It is like attending an unknown banquet, and someone at the table takes the initiative to stand up and pour wine for everyone. This person is very enthusiastic, polite and courteous, but that is all that people know about him. Moreover, most people will not be enthusiastic about him just because of his enthusiasm, politeness and courtesy.

Zhao Yuxi didn't want to pour wine for Song Yihan. If this was a cup of poisoned wine, she might be a little interested. But unfortunately, this cup of wine was not poisonous.

The last cup was poured for herself. "Okay, everyone, stand up. Let's toast to celebrate our friendship."

Xu Ying raised the cup of grape juice without any burden. The classmate hesitated when he stood up. She understood his concerns, gently pulled his arm, and lifted it up a little.

Zhao Yuxi saw this inconspicuous little action. She wondered which of the two people was more like a child: our wine glasses were filled with wine, and your tea cups were filled with grape juice. Xu Ying could accept this difference with peace of mind, either because she didn't care about the dinner party or the people who drank, or because she was really as honest, straightforward, pure and simple as a child. Perhaps it can be said that she is a very smart child. She is kind, but not stupid, and it is impossible to "hurt" her with kindness. This is just right. She knows how to help others and protect herself.

Song Yihan was sitting opposite Xu Yingze. She noticed this slight movement and her mind became active: These two people are indeed more than just good friends. Who is in the lead when these two are together? Who is in the lead in this relationship? Is it Xu Yingze who is in the lead? If Gu Tingzhou and I are officially together, can I take the lead?

Raising their glasses, clinking them, the four adults drank the little bit of red wine that just covered the bottom of the glass.

Mu Zhengguang drank the grape juice in one gulp, but Xu Ying didn't want to drink it anymore after drinking half of it.

Suddenly, an idea that she had never had before flashed through Xu Ying's mind: Can I ask my classmates to help me drink the remaining grape juice?

She was shocked by the idea. In fact, even if the classmate offered to help her drink the remaining grape juice, she would have to think carefully about whether to let him drink it. Moreover, if the classmate did not offer to help her drink the grape juice, she should not let him drink it.

She wondered if it was because she had seen Zhao Yuxi too many times recently, and Zhao Yuxi often ordered Gu Tingzhou around, and she was influenced by Zhao Yuxi, so she subconsciously wanted to order her classmates to help her do things?
Xu Ying drank the remaining grape juice with worry and fear.

Zhao Yuxi really wanted to know why Xu Yingze was afraid: If you don't like drinking grape juice, these negative emotions should appear after you take the first sip. With the appetite of a second-order asymptote, it is impossible to be full by drinking only half a cup of grape juice, so it is not a matter of quantity, but that you have some special thoughts while drinking grape juice. What kind of thoughts can scare you? Should I ask you after the dinner? But now, I have more important things to do. I'm sure Song Yihan is ready to make a move, and she is definitely brewing something terrifying.

Zhao Yuxi finished the wine in her glass and sat down: "From now on, we are friends. Song Yihan, you and Gu Tingzhou have known each other for a long time. You are more familiar with him than we are. You can definitely help him a lot. With you by his side in the future, he will definitely live a more relaxed and happier life."

Song Yihan didn't think she could "help him a lot", she was very self-aware, but in this situation, Zhao Yuxi said so much, she could only bite the bullet and respond: "Yes, he will definitely live a more relaxed and happier life."

Zhao Yuxi sneered in her heart: "It will definitely be easier and happier." This sentence is a lie when I say it. I am using this lie to trick you, but it is also a lie when you say it? Even if you can't do it, even if you sincerely wish him well, this sentence will not be a bitter lie!

What are you thinking? Are you full of doubts about your future? Do you realize that you will only be a burden to him, not a help? Have you been prepared to be a burden to him? In this case, let me ask you again what you really think. Maybe after the dinner, you have to go back.
