A few people, who all enjoyed seafood, were able to get along well. It did take a bit of time, but their lunch break was over two hours, so it was fine.
Mu Yinyin curved her lips slightly. Seeing Gu Xiaoqi hand her a disposable glove, she accepted it.
Li Chuan peeled a crawfish and placed it in Gu Xiaoqi’s bowl. He then turned his gaze to Mu Yinyin and asked plainly, "Who were you on the phone with just now?"
Mu Yinyin’s eyes flickered. When her grandmother had called earlier, another call had indeed come in, but she had been distracted and didn’t pay attention. She only noticed it after hanging up with Gu Xiaoqi.
Immediately, she softly replied, "Fu Siye’s grandmother called me and asked me to come over tonight."
"Ah…?" Gu Xiaoqi instantly looked a little troubled. "Don't tell me she's going to try and push you and Fu Siye together again."
Jiang Ling frowned slightly. "Are you going tonight?"
"I have to go," Mu Yinyin simply pursed her lips and said those two words.
Gu Xiaoqi immediately frowned. "You're going? But if you go, what if she tries to make you and Fu Siye live happily together again? Usually, when you go back, you'd have Fu Siye come too. This time, she'll definitely look for Fu Siye, and then the two of you will meet again."
Gu Xiaoqi was a bit worried, not wanting her sister to encounter that scumbag again!
Jiang Ling also turned his gaze to Mu Yinyin and slowly said, "I guess… she probably doesn't know you're divorced."
Li Chuan continued to peel shrimp without speaking. Once peeled, he continued to drop them into Gu Xiaoqi’s bowl.
Mu Yinyin nodded with a complicated expression, but it didn't affect her peeling shrimp. Before she could finish, a peeled shrimp from Jiang Ling appeared in her bowl.
She softly said, "You don't need to peel shrimp for me, I can do it myself."
Gu Xiaoqi quickly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Li Chuan, I can manage. You two shouldn't just focus on us, or it'll get cold and won't taste good."
Li Chuan didn't respond to Gu Xiaoqi. He fixed his gaze on Mu Yinyin. "So, you're still going tonight?"
Mu Yinyin sighed softly. "Although I don't want to go, Grandma has taken good care of me over the years. I can't refuse her. Besides, if I go tonight, I have to settle things with them. Since we're divorced, there's no need to hide it. I guess Fu Siye wouldn't want to disappoint the elder, so he definitely hasn't told her."
Gu Xiaoqi tilted her head. After eating a shrimp, she slowly said, "The divorce isn't completely clean, it's quite possible he hasn't said anything."
Mu Yinyin pulled at her lips without saying anything.
The atmosphere seemed to become a little heavier.
Gu Xiaoqi paused, then looked at Mu Yinyin. "How about I accompany you? If they dare to say a single word against you, your godmother will curse them out for you! If you're embarrassed, I'm not!"
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh. "What are you going to curse them out with?"
"Curse out that heartless man! My Yinyin is so outstanding, and he doesn't know how to cherish her, still fooling around outside. He cheated first, so he should compensate you. Yinyin, you shouldn't have left empty-handed back then!"
Mu Yinyin smiled faintly. "His things, I don't deign to take."
Jiang Ling curved his lips slightly. "Yes, his things are indeed not worth taking. Fu Siye has money, but it's not ours. There's no point in taking it; we can earn our own. Besides, does Yinyin lack money?"
"King of Hell Ye! Of course not!" Gu Xiaoqi said, baring her teeth.
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh.
She hadn't hidden the fact that she was King of Hell Ye from them. It was because anyone could have health issues, and she was afraid that if something happened to her good friends, they wouldn't get timely and accurate treatment. So, she had told them about it.
If there were any real problems, she could also resolve them immediately. Fortunately, her friends were all in good health.
"Forget it, let's not talk about their matters. I'll handle it, don't worry about me." Mu Yinyin didn't want her friends to have a bad lunch because of her.
"Alright, then let's not mention those spoilsports! Let's eat!" Gu Xiaoqi said, picking up a crab.
Soon, the group began chatting about other things.
Although Mu Yinyin hadn't eaten or chatted with them for a long time, it hadn't affected their feelings. Everything was still good.
After the four of them finished eating, they sat together and chatted for a while, discussing everything from north to south and the future development of the company. Every topic was pleasant.
Watching their smiling faces, Mu Yinyin’s heart grew more complex.
Why did she abandon such good friends to pursue some damn love?
Was Fu Siye really worth such devotion?
If she had never gotten involved with Fu Siye, perhaps she could have focused more energy on Fanxing?
Maybe… if she had paid more attention to that mother and daughter, she might have noticed something was wrong, and her father might not have been killed by them alive…
Mu Yinyin took a shallow breath, controlling her emotions to continue chatting with them, not wanting them to notice anything amiss.
It wasn't until almost one o'clock that Li Chuan slowly said, "It's time to go to work."
"Ah? So soon!" Gu Xiaoqi glanced at her watch and made a whimpering sound. "Alas… time passes too quickly. Every time I chat with you all, I feel like there's not enough time. The boring afternoon is coming again!"
"Have some self-control," Li Chuan glanced at her indifferently.
"Hmph!" Gu Xiaoqi made a face at him and stood up. "I'm going to work! I'll definitely finish before you all today!"
Jiang Ling smiled faintly, saying nothing.
Li Chuan's cold expression now held a hint of a smile in his eyes. He had always doted on Gu Xiaoqi completely.
Mu Yinyin looked at the two of them, envy flashing in her eyes. In the past, this was probably what she longed for the most.
It seemed like Gu Xiaoqi and Li Chuan were also close to a happy event.
She also slowly stood up and said, "Then I'll head back too."
Thus, everyone returned to their respective offices.
The afternoon passed quickly while dealing with work, and finally, it was time for her to go to the Fu family's old residence.
As soon as she got into the car, Mu Yinyin's phone rang.
Without hesitation, she answered, "Grandma."
"Oh, Yinyin, are you on your way?"
"I'm just about to set off. It will take about an hour to get there," Mu Yinyin's voice was very gentle.
Liang Min smiled immediately and said, "Good, good, then Grandma will wait for you. Drive slowly on the way."
"Okay."
After they hung up, Mu Yinyin put down her phone, her hand on the steering wheel. Her gaze fell forward, and she finally took a slow breath.
Today, she was going to resolve everything.
