When I arrived, Qi Yu was sitting in the corner of the sofa, flicking his cigarette with his fingertips.

When his group of brothers saw me, they all stood up one by one, their faces full of arrogance, but now they showed a submissive demeanor.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Hello, sister-in-law—"

"Hey, sister-in-law is here..."

The repeated calls of "sister-in-law" sounded harsh in my ears.

I curled my lips and smiled dismissively, saying, "Stop calling me that. There's no sister-in-law here."

Qi Yu stood up and leisurely put his cigarette into the wine glass. When he heard my words, he didn't even bother to look up and just smirked, showing his displeasure.

He walked towards me, the hand that held the cigarette gently touching my cheek, unexpectedly filled with a hint of sadness, "Are you still making trouble with me? You disappeared without a word for so many years, and I didn't even blame you. Now that you've come back, you're causing trouble for our engagement. I've been waiting all these years, did you turn a blind eye to everything?"

I turned my face away, avoiding his hand. Hearing his words, I couldn't help but feel amused.

These brothers of his always revolved around him, and as soon as he started complaining, they would cheer him on from behind.

"That's right, Shuyi, no one has ever dared to treat Qi Yu like this. He only makes an exception for you."

"Of course, in the entire City Forty-Nine, the only one who can make our Brother Qi bend is our sister-in-law..."

I interrupted their words and said coldly, "What kind of waiting are you talking about? Did you find a substitute for me while waiting? Qi Yu, aren't you disgusted with yourself? Saying something like this."

His expression changed, and he furrowed his brows, "What substitute? Where did you hear that from? Shen Shuyi, don't you trust me?"

Before I could speak, a commotion broke out, and since the long bar counter was open, we could see the whole scene.

The noise caught our attention, and a few men were blocking a girl who was clearly dressed as a waitress not far away.

In a place like this, where the wealthy and powerful gathered, such scenes were not uncommon.

However, the girl who was blocked... was looking in our direction with a tray held against her chest, lost in thought.

It was Jiang Ying, and she was looking at Qi Yu.
