Different gazes, from time to time, fell on them, when Rui stiffly smiled, "So it is so ... Thank you for caring about me."

"You're welcome, it's the right thing to do." Ze raised his face and smiled at her.

Gu Jinchi didn't say anything, just watched in silence as several of them together targeted such a scene like Shirui.

Su Qinglan's gaze still couldn't help but fall towards him, and after a moment of silence, he was about to open his mouth, but Shirui took a step ahead of him.

"You guys are also here for dinner, right? In fact, Ms. Su has taken care of me during this period of time, and even gave me a very beautiful set of gowns."

"So I wonder if there's any chance for me to invite Ms. Sue to join me for this meal as well."

Su Qinglan glanced at him, "No need."

"Together." Gu Jinchi opened his mouth and reached out to summon the waiter next to him, "Five people."

There was something eerie about the atmosphere in the booth, with five people hardwired together.

"Actually, this one is not only to thank you guys, it's like a celebration all the same."

"I'll be interning at Gu's in a while, so I'll have to trouble Mr. Gu to take care of me then."

This news caused both Su Qinglan and Ji Ha Yue to be stunned, what the meaning of such an arrangement was couldn't be more obvious.

Not to mention the fact that Shi Rui was originally someone who knew Gu Jinchi, and now she was placed in the Gu family's company.

Close to the water, you get the moon first.

From Ji Ji Yue's point of view, Gu Jin Chi's intentions were already clear.

After exchanging a glance, Ji Jiha Yue smiled, "So that's how it is, congratulations, I've heard that Gu is notoriously strict, this time you're considered to have hugged a solid thigh."

The mockery in the words spoke for itself.

Indeed, Gu was a well-known company that everyone was squeezing their heads to get into. Although Shirui herself was in a good position, I'm afraid that with her personality, she wasn't the type that could work steadily.

Su Qinglan was silent, not saying a word, and from time to time, she helped Ze add food to his bowl.

"This time it's also thanks to Grandpa Gu taking care of him, Mr. Gu he should always be working overtime excessively during the week." Saying this, Shi Rui's eyes fell on Su Qinglan, "Don't worry, in the future, I'll be here, I'll supervise him for you mother and son."

These words were said with incomparable intimacy, and like a nail, they penetrated deeply into Su Qinglan's psyche.

It didn't particularly hurt, it just prickled like a small thorn that existed there.

In the past, she was Gu Jinchi's personal special assistant, but now when this position was about to change hands, her heart was surprisingly a little bit unfavorable.

In the past, before her, Gu Jinchi only had An Nian by his side, and then he had her, a female special assistant with outstanding abilities. When she attended the drinking parties, Gu Jinchi hadn't failed to take care of her.

Don't attend the drinking parties, banquets, and even when meeting clients, Gu Jinchi will take care of her in a very gentlemanly manner.

Definitely not letting her have one more drop of wine, and blocking out the unseemly salty hands, even helping her wrap her skirt in her jacket to take her home.

All that thoughtfulness, all that meticulousness, all that care, is now going to another person.

Think about it. If Gu Jinchi must start another relationship, all the care and tenderness that had been given to her. Would all be similarly transferred to another person.

Even though that person could not have children, perhaps they would receive more tender care from this man because of it.

Between thoughts drifting away, her heart suddenly felt like a knife.

She couldn't do it to remain calm as if she were oblivious, and as she wandered off, the knife and fork in her hand fell to the floor.

A crisp, ringing sound caused the seemingly cordial atmosphere on the table to lurch, restoring the silence and stiffness that should have been there.

When Rui looked at her, she pretended to be concerned, "What's wrong, is Miss Su not feeling well?"

She beckoned for a waiter to change the knife and fork, and this hypocritical greeting caused the unhappiness in Su Qinglan's heart to be suppressed a little deeper.

"I'm fine, my hand slipped." She bent down in disbelief and picked up her fork before leaving her seat without a word.

She desperately needed a place to calm down now, or else she was only afraid that all those suppressed emotions would explode out of control.

Never show it in a scene like this.

She went to the restroom to calm down and came out just in the right mood when Ji Ha Yue came and blocked her way, "You're just going to go back and let that woman look at you funny?"

"What joke is not a joke." Su Qinglan snorted lightly, "I've seen a lot of these women before, I'll take care of it, don't worry."

"But what identity are you going to use now, Gu Jinchi's ex-wife?" Ji Zha Yue glanced around, saw that no one was around, and directly unlocked the door to the restroom.

The atmosphere was all of a sudden grave.

Su Qinglan looked at her and smiled, gently patting her shoulder, "Are you thinking of things as too serious and stereotypical, I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already said what you're most worried about right now."

She was a bit unable to catch the words between one yes and the smile at the corner of her mouth faded.

Without uttering a word, she turned and leaned against the sink propped up against the side looking up at the ceiling, "Nothing gets past you, what do you think I should do now?"

"It depends on whether you want to completely cut ties with Gu Jinchi or whether you want to renew your relationship with her. You choose differently, and what you need to do is of course different." Ji Zha Yue shrugged her shoulders and also went to the side to accompany her to look up at the ceiling.

The two were shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to shoulder.

Su Qinglan suddenly felt very tired, not body tired, but the bottom of the heart of the oil born in a wave for the future of confusion and hopelessness.

Luckily, Ji Haoyue was right beside her, and she tilted her head, resting it on Ji Haoyue's shoulder.

"On the basis of those things, I won't forgive him."

What exactly was the idea she couldn't answer, she was now like a single boat lost in the ocean.

The tower light that had guided her and illuminated her had gone out. Left on her own, how could she possibly know what direction to go.

"You're not unforgiving him, I think you're unforgiving yourself. Saying that you don't forgive, but watching him with another woman still makes you feel bad inside."

Ji Ha Yue shook her head and sighed, "Defeated, who made me your good sister?"

"Now what you have to do is simple, if you want to renew your relationship with Gu Jinchi, walk out this door, give that woman a hard time, and then take him home."

"If you don't want anything, just be the forgiving and generous one and we'll go back together for a little session, and we won't have to have him stay with you again for a few days, I'll stay with you guys just so I can still spend more time with Ze."

Two choices were in front of her and she didn't want to choose either one.

How could things suddenly turn out like this? It seemed like ever since coming to Suizhou, everything had been going in the worst direction little by little.

The whereabouts of her grandmother was still unknown to this day, and there were even so many people who were inextricably linked, which was an invisible threat to her, and to Gu Jinchi.

Even the existence of this threat was as long as they didn't take the lead. Sooner or later, the threat would explode like a time bomb and force them into a desperate situation.

The only two words left in my mind were exhaustion.

"Forget it."

She braced herself and shook her head, her heart, which had been firmly set in place earlier, wavering for some reason.

Now it's just a matter of seeing him have contact with another woman, and her mood ripples so much, is it that she doesn't think she's lost enough?

She was Su Qinglan, she wasn't one of those women who couldn't carry her own weight, she had to be clear about herself.

Without warning she stood up, washed her hands, and returned to her seat.

"Mommy, can I have my sister-in-law over to our house tonight?" Zee had finished the steak on her plate and was sitting there, good-naturedly waiting for her.

"Of course, Auntie just came over here and doesn't have a place to stay yet." She agreed and looked at Gu Jinchi.

The corner of Su Qinglan's lips hooked up in a smile and said faintly, "Then it's a coincidence that today, you can move back home."

This time, it was Gu Jinchi's turn to have his facial expression unnaturally stiffen and his brows unconsciously furrowed, "If Ji Jirayue doesn't have a place to stay, I can help you arrange it."

"Doesn't Ze want to sleep with Daddy."

He pinned his last hope on Ozawa, but Ozawa looked at him and scornfully skimmed his lips, "You'll be sleeping on the couch if you come anyway, it's not as comfy as sleeping on the big bed at home."

He was abjectly disliked.

Rui Shi watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but smile, "It looks like little General Gu has grown up and doesn't need daddy by his side anymore."

It was fine if she didn't speak, but as soon as she did, she made the irritation brewing in Su Qinglan's heart double again.

Ji Jiha Yue also walked back from the restroom and happened to sneer after hearing these words, "If I were, I wouldn't choose to interfere in the affairs of a family of three at a time like this."

"One can't be intellectually and emotionally unavailable."

If the previous words had been subtle, this one she made no effort to hide the hostility and disgust in her body.

Under the stiffness of the atmosphere, Su Qinglan also lost her interest in easing up, and pinched Xiao Ze's face, "Have you eaten enough, let's go back."

"Okay!" Xiao Ze cheerfully answered down, got up and went to pull Ji Ha Yue, "I've already kicked daddy out, today, Auntie Xiao you can come to our house to sleep, I'll tell you a bedtime story."

Such special preferential treatment made Ji Jihaiyue not happy, "It's more like I'm telling you, let's go."

"Many thanks for the hospitality." Su Qinglan nodded, still not holding back and letting her eyes linger on Gu Jinchi for a moment.

To seem less abrupt, she spoke bashfully, "Remember to come back and organize your things."

All good things were fleeting, and since she had already made her choice, sooner or later, Gu Jinchi would have her own life.

She was the one who used to look away a bit, and she's the one who should be looking away now.

But as they walked out of the restaurant to the parking lot, Gu Jinchi sprinted after her and grabbed her hand.

"Loosen up." She frowned.

"Something wrong?" Ji Zhaoyue gave him a look, and also asked without a trace of humor.
