Return to the City: The Strongest King

Everyone merely greeted Song Xiaodong, then no one paid him any attention. Song Xiaodong didn’t mind; he found an empty seat and sat down.

Cui Sijiao waved to Su Yao and said, "Su Yao, come, sit here." There was an empty spot next to her, but on the other side was Zhou Peng, clearly trying to set up Su Yao and Zhou Peng again.

Su Yao smiled slightly and said, "No need, I’ll sit here." Then she directly sat down next to Song Xiaodong.

Zhou Peng felt a bit awkward, but he didn’t think that there was anything between Su Yao and Song Xiaodong. He just thought Su Yao was deliberately avoiding him, so he laughed it off and said, "Come on, now that everyone’s here, waiter, serve the dishes please."

The waiter immediately left, and the dishes were quickly brought to the table.

Cui Sijiao asked, "Su Yao, I heard you quit your job. Where are you working now?"

Su Yao replied, "I’m working at the headquarters of Qingyuan Group now."

Wang Yuming said, "You’ve gone to Qingyuan, huh? Wang Chenggui, that guy, is also there."

Su Yao said, "He should be away on business recently. I haven’t seen him once since I got there." When she said this, Su Yao glanced at Song Xiaodong. If Wang Chenggui were there, it would be hard to keep Song Xiaodong’s identity a secret.

Everyone wanted to match Zhou Peng and Su Yao, but Su Yao was only responding perfunctorily to this topic. She spent more time whispering in conversation with Song Xiaodong.

This really annoyed Zhou Peng. Being with Su Yao had always been a source of pride for him and gave him face in front of his classmates. Now that Su Yao had just left him, it was something he could not accept. He drank glass after glass, and soon Zhou Peng was somewhat intoxicated.

"Su Yao, you will regret leaving me!" After another drink, Zhou Peng slammed his cup down and directly addressed Su Yao for the first time that day.
