Ye Wan felt the restlessness of her dog head and thought that it understood the meaning of the cute collar she bought for it, so she touched it even more happily.

Everyone sat in the living room without disturbing each other. After a while, a servant came out from the kitchen and called everyone to eat.

Only then did Ji Fu come out of the awkward and restless atmosphere, and dinner was finally about to start.

There would always be someone who would notice me when I was eating, right? Could it be that because Gu Sui had to shoot a night scene today and wouldn't be back for dinner, they were just going to leave me alone?

Didn't Gu Sui say that his family was easy to get along with? Why were they all like this?

Forget about Shen Qingzhou, the feeling of actually interacting with Ye Wan and Ye Zhuohua is completely different from what they show in the variety shows.

Especially Ye Wan, why is she so arrogant? Why?

As she thought this, Ji Fu's face showed some displeasure.

The expression on her face was too obvious, and anyone could see it as long as they looked at her. But no one paid attention to her expression, and everyone walked around her to wash their hands while chatting and laughing.

There were many bathrooms in Gu's house. Ji Fu randomly picked an empty one and went in to wash her hands. When she came out and sat in the seat she usually sat in when she ate at Gu's house, she was the only one in the dining room.

Ji Fu was a little confused about this.

She went to the restroom that was a little further away. Although there were five or six people queuing in the nearest restroom, even if there were more people, they shouldn't be so slow, right?

And when I came out, did I see that cold-looking woman wiping her hands and coming out of a bathroom farther away from the one I went to? Where did she go?

Ji Fu always felt that something had happened that she didn't know about, and soon someone gave her the answer.

There was a noise coming from the other side of the gate, which was a bit far away. She first heard the sound of a door closing, and then vague words like "...Young Master", "...small dining room...waiting for you..."

The short walk from the gate inevitably leads to passing the dining room, so Ji Fu turned her head and looked towards the gate.

After a while, the indistinct conversation stopped, and a man wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers walked in from outside.

He looked young, probably in his early twenties, and was carrying two large suitcases in his hands. He looked tired and exhausted.

His short hair was hanging down listlessly. He was not very handsome but very pretty, just like the white moonlight described in campus novels.

He was quite tall, probably a head taller than the servant who was following behind him carrying a small box.

As far as she knew, the Gu family had a strict family tradition and they should not have any illegitimate children. So who could this person be, and how could he attend the Gu family's private party when he looked like he had just returned from outside?

Ji Fu was wondering who he was when she saw the man's eyes suddenly turn towards her.

It was clearly just a casual glance, but Ji Fu had the illusion that she was seen through from head to toe.

She wanted to say something, but saw that the man had withdrawn his gaze, continued to walk inside, and soon disappeared at the door.

She sat there, somewhat at a loss.

Why did he look down on me too? Why didn't he come over? Why was there no one?

Everything that has happened since Gu's family came to this day seems to be different from what that person told me...

This realization made Ji Fu unconsciously clench her fists, and her carefully crafted manicure dug into her flesh, which made her sober up a little.

The empty table in front of her also made her realize one thing - no one had served a single dish yet!

No servants had ever even come to the dining room!

Thinking of the word "small dining room" she had just heard, Ji Fu seemed to have thought of something. Her pupils suddenly shrank. She stood up from her seat, walked to the kitchen door and opened it.

The faint smell of cooking smoke made her take a step back and look inside. The servant was holding a tray and walking towards the small door wide open in the corner. The sound of the kitchen door opening made everyone look over.

Ji Fu gripped the door handle so tightly that her fingertips turned white. Looking at this scene, no matter how dumb she was, she knew what was going on!

They don't eat in the dining room?

And no one told me about this?

Her anger suddenly surged up, and she couldn't control herself and wanted to explode: "You guys...!"

However, she was cut off before she could even begin to speak.

A maid, who she hadn't seen in half a month, handed the tray of food in her hand to someone else and interrupted her: "Miss Ji? I was wondering why I couldn't find you after looking for you for a long time. You are here? Why don't you go to the small dining room? Aren't you used to eating with so many people?"

"I......"

Just when she was about to say "I didn't", Ji Fu was interrupted by the maid in front of her again, "I know you are a little socially anxious. After all, you don't eat with your husband when he is alone. We can understand!"

"Some of the people who came here today are also quite socially anxious. In the past, they would not come no matter how we called them. It's almost the same as you! Don't worry, our Gu family is very friendly to those with social anxiety!"

She smiled and nodded at Ji Fu, not giving her a chance to reply, and blocked her remaining words. "Are you hungry? Do you want us to prepare something for you? What do you want to eat? I see you like noodles, how about making you a bowl of noodles?"

Ji Fu was speechless after hearing her string of words. This maid spoke quickly and it sounded like every word she said was for her own good. By the time she came to her senses, she realized that everything had been arranged clearly by the person in front of her. It seemed that she was really a person with social phobia who was afraid to eat with others.

Before Ji Fu could say something, the door closed in front of her.

A few minutes later, the maid who had just spoken came out with a bowl of noodles.

The maid's words sounded apologetic: "I'm really sorry, there aren't many ingredients left after dinner, so I can only prepare these for you. Do you like them?"

Ji Fu looked at the tray in front of her. In the middle was a simple bowl of plain noodles, with several small plates of various toppings on the side. Ji Fu took a look and found that they were all things she could eat.

She suddenly felt touched. He had prepared so many things for her in such a short time. This person seemed different from others and was really kind to her. "I'll just eat this. Thank you for your help."

The maid nodded, said "Enjoy your meal" and left.

As soon as she returned to the kitchen, Wang Ma came up to her and asked, "How's it going?"

"It's OK. I was saying that the master and his men are very good at judging people. If they say they don't like her, they must have their reasons. Look at how worthless she is." The maid chuckled. "If she knew that those were just leftover employee meals from overcooking, and they just picked out some food she could eat and put it on a plate, I don't know what her expression would be."

Aunt Wang patted the maid's shoulder and said, "You are such a bad person."

The maid smiled and looked at her: "I'm flexible."

Wang Ma was a little helpless, but she still followed her words: "Okay, okay, you are the best."

On the other side, in the small dining room.

Except for Ye Wan who knew the truth and Shen Qingzhou who had been watching her playing with her phone and therefore knew their conversation, everyone else was a little surprised at the man who suddenly appeared.

Ye Yu even went up to him and punched him in the chest: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Do you still consider me a brother?"

The man rolled his eyes at him and said, "How come you can't tell that I've been so idle lately? You're the only one who can't tell."

The man was Ye Chen, who had been managing the Ye branch and some other businesses under Ye Wan's name in the United States some time ago.

Ye Si, who was standing by, heard this and his eyes wandered for a moment. He said to Ye Chen, "Fifth brother, please sit down."

Ye Chen piled the suitcases in the corner and gave Ye Si a look with a half-smile.

Ye Si felt a little guilty after being looked at like this, so he lowered his head and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.

Although I didn't realize that he was going to come back, I've been spending a lot of time with my second brother recently, so I've become a little thick-skinned and can pretend that I don't understand the meaning in his eyes.
