There’s plenty of fish in the sea; if this one doesn’t work out, there’s always another.

As Zhao Qin’s thoughts were interrupted by a flash of a figure in black, she felt puzzled, why was she suddenly thinking of him again?

She quickly lowered her head and took a sip of water to calm her nerves.

Such a heartless guy, disappearing for so long, did he die or something?

Zhao Qin felt a pang of anxiety in her heart; suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted past her nose, and she froze on the spot.

She abruptly stood up, startling everyone around her.

Zhao Qin quickly turned her head to look outside, and in the next moment, Zhu

Mingjing entered.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Zhao Qin stared intently at Ming Jing’s face. Why did their scents smell so similar?

Was it a coincidence?

Ming Jing’s gaze swept over Zhao Qin’s face, her eyes narrowing slightly, and her eyebrows furrowing.

With a poker face, she said, “The food has gone cold, I’ll have the kitchen heat it up. What would you two like to eat?”

The manager walked in with the menu, sweating profusely from her nervous hands.

The people seated there were all influential figures not to be messed with.

Master Xiao, the well-known mastermind of Jiangzhou, Ms. Zhao, his cousin, and the recently notorious Ms. Zhu; any one of them could shake up Jiangzhou just by stamping their feet.

She secretly glanced around – what a feast for the eyes: all the gorgeous men and women.

Suddenly, the manager’s eyes widened in shock.

Wasn’t that the famous movie star Qu Fei Tai?

My god, what kind of earth-shattering secret did she just stumble upon? Turns out Qu Fei Tai was the one dating Ms. Zhu.

This was a well-known couple’s restaurant and popular social media hotspot, so the manager wouldn’t think two ordinary friends would meet here on a date.

If this information leaked, the internet would go into meltdown.

The manager was experiencing a storm of emotions, but she kept a respectful and attentive expression on her face.

To keep her job and avoid a lawyer’s letter, she had to keep her mouth shut tight.

Zhao Qin snapped back to reality and raised her eyebrows, asking, “What are your signature dishes here?”

The manager listed a few, and Zhao Qin nodded, “Let’s have one of each.”

The manager respectfully retreated, nearly tripping on her way. One of her co-workers quickly caught her, “Manager, what happened? Was that guy difficult to serve?”

The manager shook her head, Master Xiao was much more approachable than rumors suggested, but there was something else that was throwing her off balance.

Glancing at the young woman’s innocent face, the manager tightly closed her mouth.

Some things were better left unknown.

“That was Ms. Zhao, right? That kick she gave Pan Jingjing earlier was so vicious, I’m still feeling shudders.”

The manager shook her head, as long as you don’t offend Ms. Zhao, she’s quite easygoing.

“Then that’s Ms. Zhu? I heard that the fake rich girl was driven out of the Zhus; she mustn’t be an easy person to deal with.”

The manager gave her a side-eye, “What nonsense are you talking about?” She had never seen a socialite gentler and kinder than Ms. Zhu.

“Forget it, hurry up and deliver the food to the kitchen. Remind everyone to muster their spirits. We must serve these guests well tonight. Our lives and livelihoods are at stake, understand?”

The young girl nodded and hastily rushed to the kitchen to deliver the message.

The manager sighed and glanced at a certain spot, all the surroundings seemingly shining with light.

The most despairing thing in the world was having a potential internet-breaking news story right under her nose, and all she could do was to keep her mouth shut tight.

Ming Chen and Ming Ti sat on two additional chairs brought in, Ming Jing sat with Qu Fei Tai while Zhao Qin and Ran Tengxiao sat across from them.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere became awkward.

Zhao Qin’s gaze flitted between the two of them. They were a good-looking couple; handsome man and beautiful woman, a perfect match indeed.

“Ms. Zhu, I heard that Zhu Xiangxiang has been driven out of the Zhus?” This statement was clearly stirring up trouble, and Zhao Qin couldn’t wait to see Qu Fei Tails reaction.

Reading the news about Ming Jing, Qu Fei Tai had come across the name Zhu Xiangxiang, who was apparently the fake rich girl mistaken for Ming Jing at that time.

It was only natural for things to get back on track as she was coveting something that didn’t belong to her in the first place.

“Her real parents finally found her, and after years of separation, they are now reunited – everyone’s overjoyed.”

“Overjoyed?” Zhao Qin smirked, “She got off too easy.”

When Li Jiaojiao found out, she gleefully wanted to rush to Zhu Xiangxiang’s new home to shove her face in the mud. Zhu Xiangxiang had grown accustomed to living the easy life of a rich girl.. Asking her to live in poverty wouldn’t last long before she’d come running back to the Z
