Chapter 238: A Little Conscience, But Not Much

On the other side of the table, two heads were almost touching, engrossed in the content of a WeChat chat window.

What? The class beauty went to see the second brother?

Everyone looked up instantly, their expressions varied, but their gazes all turned to Lu Yining.

Is this class beauty really that fast?

Lu Shiwen hasn't even arrived here yet, and the class beauty has already contacted them?

Oh! The class beauty said she hasn't seen me in years, and coincidentally, she's around here right now. She wants to invite my second brother to dinner tonight.

[The second brother originally wanted to refuse, but the class beauty said she missed her old classmates after so long, and she also specifically mentioned that her friends would be there too, so there wouldn't be any awkwardness when they had dinner together that night.]

Her two friends were also her second brother's high school classmates; they were in the same class. Her second brother figured it wouldn't be easy to refuse, and besides, with other classmates present, it wouldn't be awkward.

So, he agreed.

Hehehe, there's going to be a good show tonight!

Everyone: Looks like we need to eat early tonight, otherwise we'll definitely miss the gossip time.

Director Liu pressed the side of his phone, and the screen lit up.

Great, it's past four o'clock now. These bowls of mutton soup are so big that even if several people share them, we'll probably be about six or seven tenths full after we finish eating.

Why bother eating a proper meal? Just go to the food street and buy something to eat to fill your stomach.

Zhao Yunlin ate the mutton with even more gusto, as if the mutton in her mouth was her enemy...

The people at the table silently moved their chairs, sitting a little further away from her.

A woman driven by love and consumed by jealousy and anger is utterly irrational!

To avoid getting caught in the crossfire, it's best to keep your distance from her for now...

"Hey, Second Brother's here? We're having mutton soup, want some?"

Director Liu was the first to see Lu Shiwen. He raised his eyebrows, opened his voice, and called out to Lu Shiwen.

Lu Shiwen: "Sure, get me some, I have some food to share with you guys too."

He carried a black bag and strode towards them. Every step he took felt like it was treading on their hearts, making them tremble violently.

Jiang Xinghe forced a smile and said, "Why are you being so polite? You've come all this way, why bring any food?"

Please! Take it back now!

“That’s right, Second Brother is too kind.” Song Zixu couldn’t even manage a smile: “However, I just drank two big bowls of mutton soup, and my stomach is already full. I probably can’t eat that much.”

Then, he looked at the others and said, "You guys eat, I won't eat."

Others: Don't think we don't know! You're just trying to escape this "poison"!

How full can two bowls of mutton soup be?

As if he couldn't see the rejection on their faces, Lu Shiwen took out boxes of things from the black bag.

"It's okay, you can eat a little more. I happen to have some pastries here, they're bite-sized, perfect for you. Why don't you have a few later?"

"There are also some roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), wheel cakes, egg burgers, and bubbly tofu, come on, have some of everything, they're all delicious."

Afterwards, he went over to the staff and warmly invited them to eat. The staff didn't know who he was, but having heard Director Liu call him "Second Brother" not long ago, they guessed that the two must be very close.

So they all accepted the food he gave them without any qualms.

Lu Shiwen returned to Lu Yining's side with satisfaction. His gaze inadvertently shifted and met Mu Linglan's hesitant expression. He then looked away again and met Lu Beishu's speechless face.

"Hi~"

"Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"

Lu Beishu: "What? You can come, but we can't?"

"No, it's just a bit unexpected. You guys were saying you were going on a beach vacation just two weeks ago."

"Oh, it's too cold, so I'm back again." These words were spoken by Mu Linglan. She paused for a few seconds, turned her head, and looked at Lu Yining with affection: "I was just missing Ningning, so I took a plane here."

Lu Yining tilted her head and smiled at Mu Linglan.

[When Daddy and Mommy came to see me, 40% of the time they missed me, and 60% of the time they wanted to see Shi Yan. More than missing me, they wanted to see what kind of person Shi Yan was. And... and, incidentally, to catch some of our gossip...]

Mu Linglan & Lu Beishu: That's because we miss you and care about you.

Lu Yunjie: Sure enough, my mother and father are always on the front lines of gossip.

This egg burger looks delicious. Let's eat two while they're still hot. They won't taste as good when they're cold.

As she thought about it, Lu Yining reached out, casually picked up a hamburger, and was about to put it in her mouth.

Everyone: Huh? Lu Yining, are you sick? You actually dared to eat your second brother's culinary disaster?!

Commendable courage!

Ji Shiyan reached out and grabbed her wrist, his face full of disapproval.

You dare to eat anything? Do you think you have an iron stomach? What if you have a reaction after eating it?

Lu Yining misunderstood Ji Shiyan's meaning. Seeing him grab her hand, she thought he wanted to eat the egg burger she was holding. She moved her hand to the left and stuffed the egg burger into Ji Shiyan's mouth.

"Here~"

Although I really wanted to eat the egg burger as soon as possible, since it's my boyfriend who wants an egg burger, I can give him mine.

Mmm~ Egg burgers, wheel cakes, and juicy tofu, oh my god, they smell so good!

Everyone: No matter how delicious it smells, we can't eat it! This kind of culinary monstrosity will land you in the hospital in no time if you eat it! Lu Yining, wake up! Don't be fooled by their smell!

Of all these things, only the pastries should be avoided; everything else is fine!

The pastries were made by my second brother, and everything else was made by his friend. His friend's cooking skills far surpass his; the food he makes is amazing!

To be honest, my second brother has a conscience; he knows he can only harm us, not the staff. We're the only ones who get pastries; he didn't dare give any to the staff.

Everyone fell silent: He has some conscience, but not much...

A truly conscientious person wouldn't make such a terrible dish to harm them...

However, he didn't make the other things.

So... charge!!!

Song Zixu acted quickly, holding a wheel-shaped cake in his left hand and a piece of bursting soy milk on a bamboo skewer in his right, happily munching away.

Lu Shiwen's eyebrows twitched as he watched.

Didn't you just say you drank two bowls of mutton soup and couldn't eat anything else?

Now that he's heard that he didn't make the food, why is he eating it so enthusiastically?
