The discussion was lively over there, but Lu Jingzhi sat quietly to the side, not saying a word. Jiang Han stole a glance at Lu Jingzhi and saw him leaning back in his chair, one arm crossed over his chest while the other held a cigarette, gazing out the window, lost in thought. 0
 
Jiang Han cleared his throat a few times, drawing everyone's attention with the loudness of his cough. "Old Jiang, are you coming down with something? You weren't sick just a moment ago! Really, what a blockhead!" 0
 
"Alright, alright, let’s hurry up and order. Aren’t you all hungry?" Jiang Han signaled to everyone, aware that Lu Ge was in a bad mood while they were still engrossed in their discussion. Wasn’t that asking for trouble? 0
 
Only then did everyone realize that Lu Ge was still sitting there; they had been so focused on their conversation that they had forgotten about him. They exchanged furtive glances at the clearly displeased Lu Jingzhi, feeling a bit guilty and unsure if he had overheard their earlier discussion about him. 0
 
Lu Jingzhi thought to himself, "Did I not hear? You all are talking so loudly; how could I not hear? Am I deaf or something?" Frustrated, he pulled out a cigarette. He considered Sang Yu's reaction to be quite normal; after all, it was he who had confessed first, and it was also him who ended things. It was already good that she didn’t see him as an enemy; how could he expect her to treat him like a classmate or a friend? That would be strange! 0
 
Yet for some reason, he felt incredibly annoyed—extremely annoyed! 0
 
Seeing Lu Jingzhi like this, everyone exchanged glances. Could it be that he was unhappy about their discussion of Sang Yu? They began to think they had figured out the truth. Regardless of why they had become a couple in the first place, it was a fact that Sang Yu had dated Lu Ge for a year. Discussing her in front of him was like dancing in front of a tiger—asking for trouble. 0
 
They felt truly sorry; they had completely forgotten about the ex-boyfriend himself. It was just that Sang Yu's impact on them had been too overwhelming; they really couldn’t blame themselves. 0
 
Lu Jingzhi's mood was indeed very sour—extremely sour. He felt like this woman Sang Yu was making him laugh out of anger. She really knew how to play it cool; last time they met, she pretended not to recognize him, and this time she completely ignored him, not even glancing his way. 0
 
He remembered well how she used to chase after him every day, asking how he was doing. What was going on? Did she want to sever ties with him now? 0
 
If Sang Yu were here, she would definitely scold him: "What relationship? What does she know about our relationship?" 0
 
Lu Jingzhi still hadn’t realized that he was paying too much attention to Sang Yu now; after all, she was just an ex-girlfriend whom he hadn’t cared much about before. 0
 
Du Jingjing noticed Lu Jingzhi’s dark expression and didn’t dare approach any closer. She knew his temperament well; he often seemed like a smiling tiger but could be terrifying when angered. She was his university classmate and had followed him into the same company after graduation because she liked him. However, he always treated her as just an ordinary friend, which left her feeling quite dejected. 0
 
Watching Lu Jingzhi's gaze linger on that woman made her own eyes dim with disappointment. 0
 
 
She was certain that Lu Jingzhi liked that woman; the look in his eyes was undeniable. Yet, seeing Lu Jingzhi's obliviousness, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. 0
 
Everyone wisely chose not to continue the previous topic. The dishes had all been served, and they eagerly dug in, dipping their food into the sauces before taking a bite. Mmm, it was truly delicious! 0
