Su Yue bought nothing . No matter what Xuxu pointed at, she looked disinterested and merely shook her head .
In the afternoon, they ate at a restaurant in the mall .
The shopping mall was the most luxurious mall in the capital city . All wealthy people came here to buy world-class brands .
Xuxu had grown up with the Yan family, so she knew most of the wealthy families in the capital city . It was nearing Chinese New Year and the shopping frenzy had begun .
They had bumped into countless familiar faces that day .
Xuxu tried to avoid as many as she could, those that she didn’t manage to, she fled after greeting them .
In the posh Western restaurant, they got a corner table . But to no avail, acquaintances still spotted her .
“Third Madam Yan . ”
A middle-aged man walked enthusiastically towards her .
Xuxu smiled politely . “President Zhang, you are here for lunch?”
The man smiled happily and said, “I’m here with my wife and children . ”
“Third Madam Yan, you haven’t had lunch?” President Zhang didn’t give her a chance to speak, and he suggested politely, “Can I have the honor of giving you a treat?”
Xuxu kicked Su Yue under the table .
Su Yue immediately understood and she frowned at President Zhang . “I don’t like to eat with a group of people . ”
President Zhang was awkward and he smiled at Su Yue . “This must be Miss Su Yue . ”
“She is my sister, Su Yue,” Xuxu answered politely and smiled apologetically . “Sorry President Zhang, Yueyue isn’t too comfortable with strangers . ”
“Next time then…” President Zhang couldn’t hide his disappointment .
Xuxu smiled and the man departed .
Their food arrived .
“Third Madam Yan, Miss Su, what a coincidence . ”
Su Yue and Xuxu had barely started eating when someone strode over .
They both turned their heads at the same time, and their expressions changed instantly, too .
“President Lei, what a coincidence . ” Xuxu placed her cutlery back on the table before faking a stiff smile at Lei Yong .
When she saw the girl behind him, her expression softened instantly .
Lei Yong walked up to them and his eyes scanned the table of food . He glanced at Su Yue and politely said, “It’s the holidays, and I kept urging Xiaojing to invite Miss Su over to our place . But Miss Su had rejected our invitation . ”
Su Yue bowed her head and avoided Lei Yong’s gaze . Actually, she was trying to avoid Bai Jing .
They used to be close friends who could talk about everything under the sun . Now, she didn’t even know how to face her and she didn’t want to .
Xuxu smiled at Lei Yong and answered on Su Yue’s behalf . “Other than Bai Jing, Su Yue isn’t familiar with any of your family members . She would be awkward there . Bai Jing can come to our place instead . ”
Su Yue protested hastily . “No! Don’t come to our house! I’m staying at my brother’s place . ”
She didn’t want Bai Jing to go to their house . She didn’t want her to even look at her third brother .
Her response startled both Xuxu and Bai Jing .
Bai Jing, who was hiding behind Lei Yong, fell silent as her eyes gleamed coldly .
She hid her face from view, successfully hiding her emotions .
Xuxu assumed that they had merely bickered and that Su Yue was still angry with Bai Jing .
But it wasn’t the right time to give her a piece of advice .
