The young girl wore a white gauzy dress, the hem delicately embroidered with a branch of red plum blossoms. Her ethereal grace made her seem like a fairy who had descended from the heavens. With a cold and proud expression, her eyes revealed a hint of aloofness, making it difficult for anyone to approach her.
Standing beside this girl in white was another girl dressed in pink. While she was also beautiful, she appeared somewhat ordinary compared to the girl in white. At that moment, the pink-clad girl disdainfully surveyed the crowd around them, as if every person present was beneath her notice.
Someone in the crowd recognized the pink-clad girl and exclaimed, "Isn't that the Fourth Miss of the Bai Family, Bai Morou?"
"Bai Morou?"
"That's right! She's the biological sister of Young Master Bai Moyu and has been doted on by the head of the Bai Family."
Bai Morou seemed to revel in the attention, raising her chin and linking her arm with the girl in white. "Sister Yanran, let’s go sit in one of the private rooms on the second floor! It’s so noisy down here with all these unrefined people; I wouldn’t want to sully your eyes."
Her words immediately angered those seated on the first floor. However, despite their dissatisfaction, they dared not speak out. After all, Bai Morou was the sister of Bai Moyu, who was the legitimate heir of the Bai Family. More importantly, Bai Morou herself was also favored by the head of the family.
At that moment, Bai Moyu frowned and shot a glare at Bai Morou, signaling her to be more mindful of her words. He then turned to the crowd and gave a slight bow. "Everyone, my younger sister is young and ignorant; she speaks without thinking. I hope you can forgive her. I apologize on her behalf."
Bai Moyu's sincere attitude gradually eased the crowd's displeasure. Some even began to praise him for his humility and charm.
Seeing this, Bai Moyu felt a sense of pride swell within him. He smiled slightly and turned to the girl in white. "Sister Yanran, although Rou'er spoke rudely, she meant well. The second floor is indeed quieter than down here; why don’t we go up to a private room?"
The girl in white cast him a fleeting glance but said nothing. Her gaze swept across the room before finally settling on a spot by the window. She pointed and said, "That spot looks nice; we can see the lotus pond outside from there."
Bai Moyu followed her finger and was taken aback because that was exactly where Yun Jiu was sitting.
Upon seeing this, everyone displayed curious expressions. Hahaha, a new love meets an old flame! This is going to be quite the show!
Yun Jiu naturally noticed Bai Moyu and the three others. However, she had no interest in dealing with them at the moment. She was too busy enjoying her meal! The dishes at the Gathering of Immortals Restaurant were a feast for the senses, making it impossible to stop eating!
Bai Moyu spotted Yun Jiu and felt a momentary shock, but he quickly regained his composure. She was just a useless person; whether she lived or died posed no threat to him. Moreover, keeping her around might prove useful in the future.
With that thought, a cold smile crept onto Bai Moyu's face. He strode over to Yun Jiu, looking down at her from above, and said, "Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here? You should have finished eating by now. Since you're done, why not head back home early? I'll come visit you another day."
After saying this, he confidently assumed that Yun Jiu would eagerly clear the table for him. After all, in his mind, Yun Jiu had always been that foolish girl who obeyed him without question.
However, the situation unfolded differently than he expected. Yun Jiu seemed not to have heard him at all and continued to eat happily, showing no intention of leaving.
Bai Moyu frowned and raised his voice, "Xiao Jiu!"
Yun Jiu remained unfazed, not even glancing in his direction.
"Yun Jiu! My brother is talking to you! Are you deaf?" Bai Morou exclaimed angrily. She had always looked down on Yun Jiu, and seeing her dare to ignore Bai Moyu's words only fueled her anger to the point where she felt like slapping her twice.
Finally, Yun Jiu slowly lifted her head and looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression. "Were you calling me?"
