Ji Yu spoke very directly, and for a moment, Ji Lin's face turned alternately pale and flushed, looking quite embarrassed.
However, Ji Yu hadn't intended to embarrass her in the first place.
"Cousin, if you didn't overstep boundaries, no one would say anything about you. But if you make it so obvious and even disrupt someone's meal, then you're in the wrong."
She hadn't said a word just now, yet the anger had already been directed at her. Was this simply picking a fight?
Ji Yu was especially disdainful of such antics.
"I..."
She wanted to find an excuse to gloss things over, but Gu Qixiao's gaze stayed fixed on Ji Yu the whole time, completely ignoring her disheartened expression.
For a moment, she felt overwhelmed, and simply grabbed her bag and walked away.
Ji Yu saw the situation but didn't say anything.
Instead, she curiously asked Gu Qixiao, "What's going on with you tonight? Are you upset?"
If he was upset, why bother coming out to eat together?
