The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056 Departure in One Hour

Ding Yuehua paused for a moment and shook her head, ”I don’t know about that. You can ask later. But Yu is usually very busy and doesn’t like these kinds of occasions, so it’s hard to say.”

”I see.” Kong Zhiyou frowned slightly, ”Yuehua, can you ask Lu Xiang for me, please?”

”Can’t you ask her yourself?”

”My relationship with Lu Xiang is not as close as yours. I’m afraid she won’t be happy if I ask her so abruptly.”

Ding Yuehua hesitated for a moment. If she still couldn’t figure out Kong Zhiyou’s intentions at this point, then she’d be too dull to manage business outside.

But considering Shu Yu’s current status, not just Zhiyou, but others would also want to establish a good relationship with her.

Just like these people gathered around Shu Yu now, not many of them actually have a close relationship with her.

Such cautious thinking is quite normal and not excessive.

Ding Yuehua glanced at Kong Zhiyou, seeing she was somewhat nervous, pursed her lips, and said, ”I’ll pass on the message, but if Yu is busy, there’s nothing I can do.”

Despite saying this, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, and her gaze turned slightly distant.

She wondered if it was because everyone got married that their relationships no longer seemed as close as when they were still in the boudoir. Even Zhiyou had started talking in circles and began using her.

In the ensuing time, Ding Yuehua appeared somewhat absent-minded.

Fortunately, her husband, Third Young Master Fan, also arrived. As everyone began taking their seats and Kong Zhiyou was preoccupied with her own thoughts, she didn’t notice anything unusual about Ding Yuehua.

The banquet at the Lu family was extremely lavish. While Ding Yuehua, Doctor Xu, and others managed, the relatives and friends from Shangshi Village were especially satisfied and reluctant to leave.

The remaining food was not much, yet everyone hurried to pack it up and take it home.

Even Madam Liang, who loved taking advantage, was late in realizing and found there was not a piece of meat left for her, making her utterly furious.

After lunch, although everyone was reluctant to leave, they had roads to travel, so they said goodbye to the Lu family one by one and gradually departed.

Ding Yuehua and Third Young Master Fan also came to bid farewell. Shu Yu thought, since Ding Yuehua’s home was nearby and they hadn’t had the chance to talk before, now that the guests were gone, they could sit and chat.

Unexpectedly, she left so early, too.

Ding Yuehua was eager to head to Donggu County to buy those two white horses to gift her, so she couldn’t delay any longer.

Third Young Master Fan was very busy, having been focused on developing his own business after the family split. He rushed to get there just before the banquet began.

Seeing this, Shu Yu didn’t stop them. Soon, Doctor Xu, Lord Yu, Jiang Yi, Madam Deng, Master Wen, and others also left one by one, and the Lu family suddenly became quiet.

The tables were tidied up with everyone’s help, and now the Lu family was curiously looking at the Jade Ruyi bestowed by the emperor.

After glancing at it twice, Shu Yu went to find Meng Yunzheng.

The latter was standing by the pond in the backyard talking with Ying Dong. Seeing her approach, Ying Dong nodded and left to attend to his tasks.

It was hot outside, so the two of them walked to the pavilion and sat down.

Meng Yunzheng held a fan in his hand, and as soon as he sat down, he started fanning her.

”Have you looked at the congratulatory gifts sent by Lord Qi and the others?”

Shu Yu shook her head; she wasn’t in the mood for that now, ”When... will you set off?”

Meng Yunzheng’s fan movement slowed for a brief moment before he continued casually, ”In an hour.”
