Shen Yunyun didn't want to deal with her and tried to walk around her, pulling Xu Zimo along.
Qiao Shiyue saw her intention and immediately stepped forward to grab her hand, saying, "Sister."
Shen Yunyun said with disgust, "Aren't you tired of putting on this act every day?"
Qiao Shiyue's eyes instantly welled up with tears, her gaze shifting from Shen Yunyun to Xu Zimo.
Her tears threatened to fall but didn't, making her look especially pitiful.
"Sister, Mom and Dad really miss you. I came this time to take you home." Qiao Shiyue turned her gaze back to Shen Yunyun.
"Is this your new boyfriend? You should bring him home to meet Mom and Dad too."
Qiao Shiyue looked at Xu Zimo.
Xu Zimo's expression mirrored Shen Yunyun's, showing no intention of explaining anything.
He was still holding the teppanyaki he had just bought.
He felt somewhat annoyed with Qiao Shiyue for delaying his enjoyment of the food.
A small crowd had already gathered around, mainly because Xu Zimo was so strikingly handsome.
Shen Yunyun and Qiao Shiyue were also exceptionally beautiful.
Seeing Qiao Shiyue block Shen Yunyun's path, they imagined a drama of a cheating man and two women fighting over him.
Though the man was good-looking, he belonged to someone else, so they could only feast their eyes while enjoying the gossip.
Shen Yunyun absolutely hated this about Qiao Shiyue—blowing tiny matters out of proportion.
Now that more people were gathering, she was sure to stir up trouble.
Don't think she hadn't noticed earlier; Qiao Shiyue had said she had a "new" boyfriend.
Luckily, Xu Zimo wasn't her boyfriend, or this would be hard to explain.
What did she mean by "new"?
As if she'd had many boyfriends before.
She decided to strike first.
Just as she was about to speak, Xu Zimo suddenly stopped her, pulling her back slightly and shielding half of her body with his own.
It was a protective stance.
She looked at him in surprise.
Xu Zimo gave her a faint smile without saying a word.
But Shen Yunyun strangely understood the message in his eyes: "Hold your horses."
She was curious about what Xu Zimo was planning.
"What do you want to say?" Xu Zimo asked.
The people nearby felt like their ears were melting when they heard Xu Zimo speak.
His voice was incredibly pleasant.
Even Qiao Shiyue was stunned for a moment.
She hadn't expected someone so good-looking to have such a captivating voice that made her feel dizzy.
Xu Zimo still wore an otherworldly expression, even though he was holding the teppanyaki he had just bought.
When Qiao Shiyue met Xu Zimo's gaze, she suddenly dropped to her knees with a thud and began kowtowing.
Even Shen Yunyun was startled.
"Qiao Shiyue, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Of course, I want to make you the target of everyone's hatred. I want to steal your boyfriend."
Shen Yunyun's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Xu Zimo.
What had he done to her?
Whatever it was, she had to seize the opportunity.
She quickly pulled out her phone and started recording.
"What did you just say? You want to steal my boyfriend?"
"Of course, I want to steal your boyfriend. I want to take everything you have."
"So you're saying you don't like Liu Qiangli at all? You only went after him because he's my fiancé?"
"Exactly. I don't like Liu Qiangli at all, but since he's your fiancé, I had to take him."
"And you don't like the three Qiao brothers either?"
