Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1210: Chapter 1210: Falling Out

Shu Yu was taken aback and looked at Ding Yuehua in confusion.

On the other side, Kong Zhiyou also saw them. Her first glance was at Shu Yu, and her smile reflexively spread across her face, as if she wanted to come over and greet them.

But in the next moment, she saw Ding Yuehua beside Shu Yu, her brows instantly furrowed, and she turned her heels and left directly.

Shu Yu looked at her and then at Ding Yuehua, “Did you two have a fight?”

Ding Yuehua coldly snorted, “What fight? We had a falling out.”

“Why?” In Shu Yu’s understanding, Ding Yuehua had always been magnanimous and straightforward, not the type to fuss over trivial grudges.

To have reached the point of falling out with a long-time friend?

Ding Yuehua initially didn’t want to say anything, but surprisingly, the Madam of County Magistrate also invited Kong Zhiyou. Since they had already met, there was no need to keep it a secret.

She walked into the peach forest with Shu Yu, speaking softly, “I always thought she was quite aloof, acted with propriety, and wasn’t gossipy, making her a friend worth associating with. But it turns out I was wrong, her aloofness was clearly fake.”

The matter had to be explained starting from when Shu Yu left Jiangyuan County for the capital.

On the day of the Lu family’s moving banquet, Kong Zhiyou initially looked down on Lu family’s guests as mere countryside bumpkins and wanted to leave early. Then came the matter with County Magistrate Zhang, followed by the scene of the high-ranking officials from the capital sending gifts to Shu Yu.

Kong Zhiyou witnessed the scene from start to finish, aware of Shu Yu’s current influential background, and naturally wanted to foster closer ties.

Thus, she told Ding Yuehua that she wanted to hold a lively birthday celebration in a few days and asked her to invite Shu Yu to attend.

At that time, Ding Yuehua wasn’t particularly fond of the idea, but it was just a social interaction, so she agreed and told Shu Yu.

However, the next day Shu Yu left for the capital, and immediately after, the old lady living in the Fan family manor started causing trouble, even suggesting to stay with Lu Sanzhu.

Ding Yuehua was busy dealing with this matter, so she sent Xiao Yun to inform Kong Zhiyou.

Xiao Yun came back saying she didn’t see Kong Zhiyou, but had spoken to Kong Zhiyou’s maid.

Ding Yuehua assumed Kong Zhiyou knew about it, so she put the matter aside. She resolved the old lady’s issue and then became busy with the new home renovations, and thus hadn’t seen Kong Zhiyou.

But during this time, she received Kong Zhiyou’s invitation, indeed inviting her to the birthday celebration.

Upon seeing the invitation, Ding Yuehua felt a bit guilty.

Hence, when Kong Zhiyou first mentioned holding a birthday celebration, Ding Yuehua assumed it was aimed at Shu Yu.

Yet, even after knowing Shu Yu couldn’t attend, Kong Zhiyou still sent out invitations to others, making Ding Yuehua believe she misunderstood Kong Zhiyou as a friend.

Unexpectedly, on her birthday, when Ding Yuehua went to the banquet with Xiao Yun, Kong Zhiyou’s first words upon seeing her were to ask why Monarch Lu Xiang hadn’t arrived.

Ding Yuehua was dumbfounded on the spot, instinctively replying that Shu Yu went to the capital the day after the moving banquet.

Kong Zhiyou’s expression fell instantly, but there were quite a few guests present, so she didn’t say anything.

Then Ding Yuehua noticed something subtle; accompanying Kong Zhiyou to greet guests was her husband, who was initially extremely enthusiastic.

But after hearing Shu Yu wouldn’t come, her husband never appeared again.
