Chapter 166 Don't refuse free money!
During the meal, Xie Zhi originally wanted to sit next to Ning Anyuan, but fortunately Ning Jian noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right, so he took the initiative to ask Xie Zhi to sit next to Gu Ai.
The meal was rather unappetizing. Xie Zhi, who always loved to start conversations, even brought up her and Lu Yuzhu's work. Lu Yuzhu could only force herself to chat with her for a few more minutes.
After dinner, seeing that Xie Zhi still had no intention of leaving, she wanted to take Gu Ai, Lu Yuzhu, and Ning Yi out for a spa treatment. Ning Yi quickly said that she and Lu Yuzhu had made an appointment to go out in a while. Xie Zhi pressed them to tell her where they were going and what they were doing, and even said that they could go together.
Ning Yi had made it up from the start; she simply said she was going out to see a friend.
Gu Ai could easily tell that the two children didn't want to go, so she said to Xie Zhi, "Xiao Yi and Yu Zhu haven't played together in a long time, let them go play."
Xie Zhi naturally couldn't say anything more.
Ning Yi had previously thought Xie Zhi might be too enthusiastic, but now she suddenly realized that Xie Zhi was actually quite scheming. Even though Ning Anyuan now had a girlfriend, and she acted as if she didn't care, her attempts to get close to him and her desire to impress Lu Yuzhu were far too obvious.
She didn't believe Xie Zhi would remain unmoved, after all, she had personally witnessed how passionate Xie Zhi was for Ning Anyuan.
Nowadays, it's probably no coincidence that Lu Yuzhu and Lu Yuzhu run into each other at work.
After Gu Ai and Xie Zhi left, Ning Yi turned to look at Lu Yuzhu.
It was obvious to the naked eye that Lu Yuzhu was feeling down.
"What's wrong? Is Xie Zhi unhappy?" Ning Yi asked.
Upon hearing this, Ning Anyuan quickly replied, "Don't worry, Yuzhu, I won't wear the watch she gave me."
Lu Yuzhu smiled somewhat reluctantly: "Why not accept a free gift?"
Ning Yi shook her head and sighed inwardly. What a hypocritical woman.
As she got up and passed Ning Anyuan, she patted her on the shoulder and whispered to him, "Try to comfort her."
Then Ning Yi tugged at Ning Jian's arm and said to him, "Dad, let's play some chess?"
Ning Jian could easily see that Ning Yi wanted to give the young couple a private spot, and readily agreed.
Only Lu Yuzhu and Ning Anyuan remained in the living room.
“Yuzhu, although our family has a good relationship with Xie Zhi, you and she are different. My mother treats her as a junior and as the daughter of a good friend. She has no other intentions,” Ning Anyuan explained, afraid that Lu Yuzhu would overthink it.
Actually, if it were someone else, Lu Yuzhu might not have thought much of it, but she knew that Xie Zhi had liked Ning Anyuan, and perhaps Xie Zhi still liked him now.
Judging from Xie Zhi's behavior during this period, women have a strong sixth sense, and Xie Zhi is hostile towards me and deliberately targeting me.
Seeing Ning Anyuan and Xie Zhi's close relationship made her uncomfortable. Seeing that Ning Anyuan's parents also liked Xie Zhi, she felt a little awkward.
But she couldn't very well ask Gu Ai and the others to keep their distance from Xie Zhi; that would be too unreasonable.
Lu Yuzhu knew in her heart that Xie Zhi's relationship with the Ning family was definitely deeper than her own, after all, Xie Zhi had been with the Ning family for so many years, which was quite normal.
She is sensitive and likes to think a lot, but she is not good at expressing these thoughts.
Lu Yuzhu looked at Ning Anyuan for a long while, then leaned into his arms and said, "I know, I didn't misunderstand Aunt Gu. I'm just a little upset seeing how good Xie Zhi's relationship with your family is."
Ning Anyuan hugged her tighter and reached out to pat her head: "You are a future member of our family. How can our relationship compare to yours?"
"Yuzhu, no other woman can replace you in our family. Trust me, trust my family, okay?"
Lu Yuzhu nodded slowly and smiled faintly, "Okay, it's really not a big deal."
Just then, Lu Yuzhu's phone rang. She took it out and opened it to find that it was a message from Gu Ai.
Gu Ai: Yu Zhu, Xiao Zhi's arrival today was quite unexpected, so I couldn't refuse.
Gu Ai: I couldn't be with you today, don't be mad at Auntie!
Gu Ai: [Transfer]
Gu Ai: Let An Yuan keep you company while you go shopping. Buy whatever you like.
When Lu Yuzhu saw that Gu Ai had transferred 100,000 yuan to her, she opened her mouth in surprise, then sat up straight and looked at Ning Anyuan.
Ning Anyuan smiled slightly, took Lu Yuzhu's phone, and accepted the transfer for her. He then pressed the voice button and said into the phone, "Received. I'll take Yuzhu shopping now."
Lu Yuzhu quickly grabbed the phone: "Why did you accept it for me? I can't possibly take Auntie's money."
Ning Anyuan said indulgently, "Why not take free money?"
"Just keep it. She won't miss out on that. Besides, it's her own fault for not spending time with you today."
Lu Yuzhu gave him a slightly reproachful look: "What's the big deal? I don't blame Auntie, and besides, I won't get angry about it."
Ning Anyuan stood up and pulled Lu Yuzhu up as well. He turned his head to look at her with a smile in his eyes: "Then let's not waste our efforts. Let's go shopping."

"Come on, everyone, take this! This is hot milk tea that Teacher Ji Yan is treating everyone to. Drink it while it's hot. There are also some snacks and body warmers," a staff member shouted on set.
Behind me were several people carrying large bags of milk tea and snacks.
Everyone hurried over to get it, and didn't forget to thank Ji Yan.
"Wow, that's really generous! Treating the whole crew to milk tea and snacks must have cost a fortune."
"That's the magnanimity of a top-tier celebrity; naturally, they can't compare to us."
The assistant director came over and thanked Ji Yan, saying, "Thank you, Xiao Ji, for treating everyone to milk tea and snacks."
Ji Yan smiled slightly: "You're welcome. The weather's been cool lately, and we're filming so late; it's understandable to feel unwell on an empty stomach."
The assistant director's eyes revealed his admiration. Ji Yan not only has acting skills and fame, but he is also sensible and a good kid.
We finished work very late today. In order to catch up with the schedule, we're almost done filming these days.
Ji Yan had just finished work, and it was already past midnight, when Qin Xue called.
"Hey, Sister Xue," Ji Yan said, her face showing fatigue and her voice sounding somewhat listless.
"You're done working now? You've been working hard lately."
"I'm calling to tell you something. You absolutely have to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. You know, the movie 'Kiss Me Before Dawn' has been doing quite well lately. Take advantage of this momentum, and they should arrange for you to do a singing performance."
"Don't be stubborn this time, listen to me and participate," Qin Xue said in a serious tone.
Ji Yan frowned, remained silent for more than ten seconds, and then slowly said, "Okay, then I want to take a vacation after the Spring Festival Gala."
Qin Xue was somewhat surprised: "On vacation?"
How long do you want to take leave?
Ji Yan thought for a moment and said, "It won't be too long, about half a month."
Qin Xue widened her eyes and said irritably, "Ji Yan, what are you thinking?"
"Our plans for the future are as follows: you must release a new song this year, and you also have to hold a concert in the second half of the year. You'll be taking a two-week vacation every time you go on vacation."
Ji Yan pinched the bridge of his nose, his tone slightly displeased: "Ten days is the minimum."
Qin Xue sighed. "Alright, alright. Who told him to be her living ancestor? She has to treat him like royalty."
"Alright, you've been really tired lately. I'll let you rest for ten days after the Spring Festival Gala. I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but you know your popularity has skyrocketed recently, so I wanted you to take advantage of this opportunity."
That's how the entertainment industry is. If you take a couple more days off, your popularity will plummet, and new artists will take your place.
Ji Yan replied from the other end of the phone, "Okay, that's all for now. I'm almost at the hotel."
