This was quite the coincidence.

Ever since Bai Changyou had Fang Rushuang switch positions, she had to socialize for business reasons.

Bai Family’s business in South Australia was doing well, gaining some fame. However, in China, it’s not just about business strength, but also about connections and relationships. After Fang Rushuang assumed her position, she swiftly revived her old relationships. Her father, lawyer Fang Zheng, also introduced her to many of his old friends.

Even though the Fang Family lived abroad, Fang Zheng specialized in Chinese law. With laws differing across countries, he often returned to China for work. Their base moved from Yan City to Shang City, but they still kept some connections. Thanks to support from her maternal grandfather and uncle, Bai Family’s business was starting to find its feet.

Nevertheless, she was there to seek help from others and couldn’t avoid socializing. However, Fang Rushuang differed from Lu Weixi. From a young age, her parents groomed her to be agile and well-rounded. She held her liquor well, and her assistant secretary took some of the drinking off her hands to ensure her safety.

But no matter how good one’s alcohol tolerance, drinking too much could still cause discomfort. So, she decided to get some fresh air outside.

Lu Weixi, standing in front of the washroom door, silently observed her. Five years had passed, and Fang Rushuang had grown a lot. She had already been the chairman of the student union back in their university days. Despite the pool of talents at N University, no one under her command slighted her. Now though, with refined makeup, a streamlined suit, and slightly short hair falling just beyond her shoulders, she looked more capable and intelligent.

Facing Bai Changyou, Lu Weixi could remain indifferent. She could ignore Qin Zhigu. As for Cai Yiren, she had never taken her seriously, both in the past and present. As for the likes of Liu Yiyi and Xiang Yirou, she felt that mentioning them only belittled herself.

Only Fang Rushuang made her feel guilty from the bottom of her heart – an implied sense of competitiveness too.

After all, Fang Rushuang had been stellar in both academics and student affairs at N University. Back then, people used to called her and Fang Rushuang the “Two Pearls of N University”.

Moreover, Fang Rushuang was the only woman Qin Zhiyou, the infamous playboy, respected and cared for, even to the point of cutting off his other romantic relationships for her.

Lu Weixi was watching Fang Rushuang, but Fang Rushuang didn’t notice her. Fang Rushuang took a rest outside for a while, and someone came out of the nearby private room, seemingly whispering something in her ear. Fang Rushuang’s expression quickly cooled, and then she walked back into the private room.

With decisive eyes and graceful movements, she appeared highly capable at first glance.

Thinking back to today’s dinner, which Qin Zhiyou had personally arranged, it happened to be next to the private room where Fang Rushuang was entertaining guests. However, she was not a woman who would feel jealous over baseless speculations. If Qin Zhiyou really wanted to rekindle his relationship with Fang Rushuang, he wouldn’t have stirred things up at Siyi Company today, and certainly wouldn’t have flirted with her in front of so many people.

But perhaps this was the legendary “fate”? Qin Zhiyou and Fang Rushuang shared interests and tastes, which was why they chose this place for their respective meetings.

“Miss Lu, Miss Lu, are you alright?”

Behind her, Xiaochen looked puzzled when Lu Weixi blocked the exit of the washroom.

Having been called out, Lu Weixi didn’t say much. She turned around and headed towards her own private room. The crowd inside was still rowdy. Qin Zhiyou glanced at her, and upon seeing her entering with Xiaochen, he looked away with a disgruntled expression..
