After everyone had left, only Xu Zhaopei, Fang Yu, and Shao Xin remained.

Shao Xin apologized: "Fang Yu, I'm really sorry about today. I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Fang Yu glanced at her and said, "It's all minor stuff, no worries."

"How about this? Today's gathering was not very satisfactory. We drank a bit, but the food wasn't great. What do you say I treat you guys to some late-night snacks, as a way to make up for my mistake?"

Fang Yu looked back at Xu Zhaopei, saw her nod, and said, "Sure thing. It's not gentlemanly to refuse a good deal!"

Shao Xin suggested, "Let's go to a nearby street stall, it's delicious."

"Okay."

The two didn't mind at all, got into their cars, and sped off.

Soon, they arrived beside a street stall.

At this time, the place was bustling with many people, but fortunately, there were vacant seats. They got out of the cars and headed straight there.

"Boss, give us three servings of flatbread noodles," Shao Xin ordered the late-night meal like a regular.

"Alright, coming right up," the boss replied.

The three sat down around a small table.

"The flatbread noodles here are a special treat," praised Shao Xin.

"Then I must give it a try," Fang Yu said with a laugh.

Afterward, the three chatted about some high school topics.

"By the way, that Mr. Gu, how do you know him?" Shao Xin asked.

Fang Yu smiled, "Neighbor."

"Neighbor?" Shao Xin exclaimed in slight surprise, "You actually live next to Mr. Gu, impressive!"

"Is he that impressive?" Fang Yu only knew that the former Gu Ju was a disciple of the Lu Family.

"Tsks. He's more than just impressive," Shao Xin chuckled, "Mr. Gu is Jiangzhou's low-profile richest man, a big tycoon!"

"The richest man?" Fang Yu was slightly taken aback, not having expected that.

"Well, I'm in luck then, with such a powerful backer, who would dare to mess with me," Fang Yu said proudly.

Xu Zhaopei rolled her eyes at him, "Look at your petty aspirations."

Although his words were surprising, his expression was relaxed and carefree, not caring at all. Shao Xin noted this.

Though Shao Xin wasn't extremely wealthy or noble, she was a small-time leader, well-versed in the intricacies of human affairs, and could tell from Fang Yu's reaction that such composure is only displayed by someone who has truly experienced life.

Which is to say, Fang Yu's status might very well be above that of Mr. Gu, the richest man.

Shao Xin's expression became complicated.

It can only be said that gold shines no matter where it is.

"Senior Shao, stop talking about me. Let's talk about you," Fang Yu curiously said, "What have you been up to these years?"

Hearing this, Shao Xin didn't show any discomfort. Instead, she laughed heartily, "Just like you, messing around."

Xu Zhaopei interjected, "You may not know, but Senior Shao now holds a golden rice bowl."

"It's just a minor leadership role, nothing noteworthy," Shao Xin shook her head.

"What about your husband?" Fang Yu blurted out.

As soon as he asked, he regretted it. It seemed like the topic had come up before.

Fortunately, Shao Xin didn't mind and said, "Got divorced."

"Look at my brain, can't even remember things I've been told," Fang Yu smacked his forehead.

"No problem." Shao Xin said nonchalantly, "I'm not embarrassed to say that I've been divorced for a year now. Just felt embarrassed to tell anyone."

"It's okay, if it's not suitable then no need to force it." Fang Yu comforted, "Next time you get married you must let me know to celebrate."

"Better not. I don't have any aspirations for relationships anymore." Shao Xin sighed softly.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Fang Yu knew this was a case of 'once bitten, twice shy.'

"Can you tell me about this ex-husband of yours?" Fang Yu further inquired, "Did he cheat? Or was it... you?"

Shao Xin rolled her eyes, "When did you become such a gossip?"

Fang Yu laughed, "We're just chatting. If you're afraid I'll reopen old wounds, then we don't need to talk about it."

"That's nothing." Shao Xin spread her hands, "I knew him right after we graduated. We hit it off at first sight, dated often and got to know each other. Later he became an executive and I was still a minor leader, and then we got married."

Fang Yu listened with interest, "But that sounds pretty good?"

"It's hard to see what's in a person's heart. To truly understand someone, it can't be done overnight. Until now, I still don't know what his actual job was." Shao Xin said helplessly, "Every family has its own hard-to-read book."

"By what you're saying, do you mean your ex-husband likes men?" Fang Yu's eyes slanted.

"Long Xinyue said you had a nasty mouth, and she's right." Shao Xin rolled her eyes, "To tell you the truth, when a person gains status and reputation, it's inevitable they'll be tempted by various seductions—"

Fang Yu noticed she used the word "seductions."

Now he understood.

"So it was you who proposed the divorce?" Fang Yu asked.

Shao Xin didn't deny it.

At that moment, three bowls of hot, steaming noodle dishes were served.

"Maybe, we really weren't suitable for each other. People like him probably felt pained being with me. Since that's the case, it's better to separate early to avoid tormenting each other."

"Your ex-husband really is something." Fang Yu made a sarcastic remark.

"Isn't that so? Otherwise, how could he become an executive?"

Before she finished—

A voice came from not too far away.

"Haven't you ever reflected on your own problems?"

The voice was cold and confrontational. They turned towards it and saw a tall man approaching slowly, followed by several men in special uniforms.

Seeing this man arrive, Shao Xin's face changed dramatically, showing a hint of anger, "What else do you want? I've given you everything!"

The well-built young man approached slowly. The soldiers behind him also had a strong presence and a stern expression.

Shao Xin's words clearly stung the young man.

"No wonder people in this world like to describe women as gossipy, it's so true. Do you really like talking behind people's backs that much?"

These words sounded particularly harsh to Shao Xin.

She stood up, glaring at the young man, "Jiang Shijie, who are you calling gossipy?"

"What if I said it was you?" Jiang Shijie replied coolly, "What, you want to hit me?"

Shao Xin turned pale, pointing at the shameless Jiang Shijie, "I'd really like to know, since our divorce, how many times have you badmouthed me in front of my parents, saying I cheated, that I chased after men? Do you have any shame?"

"I want to know, during our marriage, how often were you even home?" Jiang Shijie asked coldly, "Shao Xin, you're always so selfish, never reflective. Ask yourself, have you ever fulfilled your duties as a wife for even a day?"

Shao Xin, furious, said anyway they were already divorced and it was pointless to argue over these things, "Jiang Shijie, please leave. Don't disturb me and my friends!"

"You should take a look in the mirror before you throw accusations, do you think I want to bother with you?" Jiang Shijie said, "Tsk tsk tsk, how long since the divorce and you've already found a pretty boy?"

Jiang Shijie's gaze landed on the silent Fang Yu.

Honestly, up until this point, it was just an old couple's quarrel, Fang Yu didn't need to get involved. Even though they were divorced, it was their private matter.

But now he was dragged into it, who could stand that?

Fang Yu lifted his head and said, "Bro, shit can be eaten random, but words can't be spoken carelessly."
