Chapter 207: After Tang Yu woke up, he was different

eard her speak softly, he seemed to be stimulated and exploded like a hair trigger. He jumped up from his chair, as if ready to start scolding again, but he held back.Lu Qin'nan's face was dark as he...As night fell, the bustling streets came alive with the glow of streetlights lining both sides.

A silver-gray Porsche was parked discreetly on the sidewalk, its driver waiting with the rear passenger door open. A man and a woman got into the car, both turning their heads to look out at separate windows.

The inside of the car is very quiet.

"Young Master Zhimu, Rong Butler has informed you that the Jun family will have dinner early tonight. If you and Madam have other arrangements, you don't need to rush back."

The driver behind the wheel was a bit nervous, reporting in a stiff and formal manner. His gaze carefully darted upwards to the rearview mirror; their young master seemed to be in a foul mood tonight.

"Go back home."

The man in the back seat remained impassive and spoke in a low voice.

Next to her, Qiao Baoer's gaze drifted listlessly out the car window, watching the streetlights flash by at high speed. She didn't object, so she didn't make a sound.

Jun's family knows that she and Junzhi Mu haven't been getting along well lately. The housekeeper probably wanted to give them some time alone together, but when they were together, there was only silence.

This trip back to your house will take at least half an hour. With this eerie silence, everyone felt a little uneasy.

Qiao Baoer leaned against the car window, her right hand supporting her chin.

As his gaze swept over the driver's seat, he noticed that the driver, an older man, seemed rather uneasy. It appeared that everyone who served the Jun family was particularly wary of Jun Zhi Mu.

"Grandpa and the others had dinner early tonight. Are they still busy with the full moon celebration for the baby" she suddenly asked.

The man beside her was momentarily taken aback, pondering for a moment before turning his gaze to her cheek and studying it for a while.

The driver, a bit slow to react, realized Qiao Baier was talking to him and immediately answered nervously.

"Yes, yes... The old master and Rong Butler have been preparing for the young master's first birthday banquet these past few days. I heard that the old master even wants to postpone his eightieth birthday next month, choosing the same day to celebrate both occasions together."

"Is Grandpa planning to have a banquet at the Jun family's house, or go to a hotel outside" She asked naturally, without any airs.

"It's settled then. The banquet will be held at the Jun family estate. The patriarch said that our Jun family hasn't had a celebration in years, and it has to be grand. Everyone is very much looking forward to it..."

The atmosphere in the car lightened up with this question-and-answer session.

Jun Zhi Mu had been silent the entire time, his gaze fixed straight ahead at the road, yet he couldn't help but subtly observe the delicate expressions of the woman beside him.

Actually, his wife is also very thoughtful and considerate.

To actually go and tend to a driver's emotions... Thinking about it like that, Jun Zhi Mu's face grew a bit more sullen.

"How many tables is Grandpa planning to set up That means he'll be inviting a lot of guests, right"

< Qiao Bao'er was talking excitedly, leaning forward and urging the driver. >

"I'm not really sure about the specific guest list..." The driver honestly told her, and the car smoothly arrived at Jun's grand manor.

"After all, the Qiao family is our in-laws, so it's best to send someone over beforehand to notify them..."

As soon as I stepped back into the main house, I heard Master Jun's aged and imposing voice booming from inside the hall.

And also, please invite Bao'er's aunt.

"The Qiao family's people..." She walked closer, almost instinctively feeling disgusted and repelled by the Qiao family.

Old Master Jun, who was engrossed in writing invitations with his brush over by the sofa, looked up and glanced at her. Qiao Bao'er immediately clamped her mouth shut out of consideration.

"I will personally inform my aunt."

She didn't dare to be reckless either. The old man had been excitedly anticipating the birth of his precious great-grandson, and he had set up a full moon banquet, eager to let the whole world know that his Jun family's two adorable babies would be passed down through their heir.

But thinking of her aunt Gu Ruyue, Qiao Bao'er felt a little distressed.

As for what those people in the Qiao family were feeling, she simply couldn't be bothered. But Gu Ruyue was different; because of her aunt's illness, she hadn't dared to tell her about remarrying and becoming pregnant.

"Madam, I heard that Miss Gu's illness has recovered"

The old housekeeper walked over with a stack of red invitations and placed them on the large coffee table. She let the old man continue to write personally, straightened up and looked at her, then very naturally asked a question.

Once upon a time, there was the Gu family. General Gu had two daughters: the eldest, Miss Gu Ruqing, married to Qiao Wenyu of the city; and the younger, Miss Gu Ruyue, who was nearly forty but still unmarried, so they called her Miss Gu Er more often.

"My aunt's illness has recovered, the surgery was successful, and there shouldn't be any aftereffects."

Jo Baoer mentioned that she was delighted to hear about her aunt's full recovery from a serious illness.

“This is truly wonderful news. Before, our Jun family sent people to search everywhere for a heart donor suitable for Miss Gu Er. The experts we consulted all said that a heart transplant was necessary for her survival. Unexpectedly, conservative treatment with medication and a cardiac stent surgery has gradually led to her recovery...”

Gu Ruoyan's surgery, the housekeeper had specially gone to inquire about it and also felt very curious.

"Madam, where was the doctor who treated Second Miss Gu"

Jo Bao'er wanted to speak, but her expression changed, choking back that name.

"Tang Yu."

Gu Ruoyan's surgery was personally performed by Tang Yu...

The lighting here is a bit suggestive and dim. Lu Qinian at the bar looks sullen, grabs a glass of whiskey, downs it in one go, and mutters a complaint.

"I thought it was strange at the time, Tang Yu should have been studying at the business school, why did he go to study for a medical doctorate It turns out that Qiao Bao'er, that demoness..."

At 1 a.m., Junzhi Mu came over for a drink as invited, but he remained silent the whole time.

He had no interest in alcohol tonight, his long fingers idly twirling the crystal highball on the bar top, a thoughtful look on his face.

There are some names he and she don't bring up, but that doesn't mean they can be ignored.

"Shepherd, what are you going to do"

The already half-drunk Lu suddenly got a little agitated. He leaned over and shouted at him, "What about Qiao Bao'er and Tang Yu's rotten relationship Now that you're waiting for the child to be born, are you going to ditch that vixen"

Pei Haoran, seeing his drunken state, immediately beckoned a few beautiful women over.

"Go have some drinks with Master Lu over there."

Lu Gongzi was furious and shouted at his two brothers, "Hey, are you really just going to pretend like you don't know anything I can't hold it in anymore. My narrow-minded heart is bursting! I have to say something today."

“That dead person Qiao Bao'er is simply a celestial fairy who descended to earth. Whenever she encounters something, it's either a text message or takeout delivery. She even said that she was almost suffocated on her hospital bed. She has the most eventful life... That troublemaker even dared to contradict me last time, saying that Tang Yu would definitely not hurt her. I'm not taking sides, but I just feel like Tang Yu has changed a lot after waking up.”

Lu Qinan took a gulp of wine, choked, and squinted at Jun Zhimu and Pei Haoran's faces, which were both grim. He sighed as well.

“Do you know, my current girlfriend told me that the Tang family has been very unlucky recently. Tang Zhuo, who's always been in good health, even got sick and almost had a brain hemorrhage and died…”

"Regardless of whether Qiao Baier's claims are true or not, at least she always comes out unscathed and suffers no harm. That's rather peculiar. We all know Xia Chuixue doesn't have that kind of ability. Besides Tang Yu secretly provoking her, who else could it be!"o see a dim red glow and her expression grew even more fearful.She looked up again, face-to-face with a large mirror. In the mirror, there was her own reflection, the same face, staring back at her a...
