This generation’s fashion style was a little too gaudy for Ye Qiao. She rejected the stylist’s offer and chose a plain dress by herself. She put her hair up in a casual hairstyle and put on some simple makeup.
“My big boss Qiao Qiao is the prettiest! All the girls they introduced to me are dressed so extravagantly, yet they look so outdated!” Du Jun stood behind Ye Qiao and complimented her generously.
Ye Qiao thought to herself and realized that she had come from the future, so naturally, she would have a different fashion sense. Uncle Du Jun must find her very cool!
“Uncle Du Jun, do you not like girls? Do you really despise them?” Ye Qiao was curious about Du Jun’s sexual orientation. He was even more delicate than a girl, and his skin was smooth and shiny too.
In the past year, the Du family was worried about his marriage. In this generation, young people got married around the age of 23. Uncle Du Jun was already 25.
She spoke as she stood up and walked out with Du Jun.
“Both!” Uncle Du Jun said straightforwardly.
“Then, do you like men?” Ye Qiao asked. Was it really his sexual orientation?
“Men… I only like Xiao Xiao!” Uncle Du Jun answered without a thought.
!!!
Ye Qiao raised her leg and kicked his calf. “Do you want to die?! He’s your nephew! He’s my man!” She got jealous.
“Who said I wanted to fight with you?! Besides, can I even compete with you?! Xiao Xiao only has eyes for you!” Uncle Du Jun said sourly.
“You speak as though he had eyes for you before he knew me!” Ye Qiao’s words stabbed Du Jun’s heart like a knife.
He was rendered speechless.

Cui Gong Hotel’s dining hall was very grand. The hall was full of guests in extravagant outfits having drinks.
“Yanzi, look! There are so many successful young men! Who do you like? Aunty will introduce them to you! These young men are mostly entrepreneurs, and aunty knows most of them!” Madam Du felt very sorry for Gu Xueyan, so she kept taking her out over the past two days. She even brought her to this party!
Gu Xueyan smiled shyly and shook her head gently. How could these men compare to Lu Beixiao!?
“Hey! Isn’t this Li Yun? What a coincidence!” Behind Madam Du, a few waitresses were wearing red cheongsams. She saw Li Yun there and called her excitedly.
Li Yun was shocked.
“Li Yun, did you forget us? We are all from the same secondary school! We are in the same year group as you!”
Li Yun gasped and called out their names one by one; they began chatting like old classmates.
“Li Yun, where have you been this year? Oh ya, you used to be really close to Ye Qiao, right? And Shen Xichuan, too! The three of you always hung out together, but I heard Ye Qiao got into a fight with you. What happened?”
Madam Du was chatting with Gu Xueyan and heard her daughter-in-law’s name. Her ears naturally perked up.
Gu Xueyan’s heart was already beating rapidly. At that moment, she stole a glance at Madam Du.
Li Yun seemed to have hesitated to speak.
“Oh ya, Ye Qiao chased after Shen Xichuan so passionately!”
“I know, right. I sat behind her in senior high; she was always either sleeping or writing love letters to Shen Xichuan!”
“Don’t be so loud! Ye Qiao is from the military neighborhood!”
“So what? We’ve all graduated now; she can’t possibly bully us anymore! Back then, she would always use her grandfather’s power every time she made a mistake. But we are not in school anymore!”
“Li Yun, hurry up and say what happened!” One of them pressured Li Yun loudly.
Gu Xueyan leaned towards Madam Du and whispered, “Aunty, don’t be angry; everyone has a past…”
Although she sounded like she was speaking for Ye Qiao, she was actually trying to bring up Ye Qiao’s ‘past’.
