Jiang Yuzhu's expression was gentle, her voice calm, "Qiyang, this has nothing to do with you. Gu Yanran should be held accountable for her own actions. You invited her with good intentions, and no one could predict that things would unravel this way."
Her gaze shifted to Gu Qiyang, her eyes filled with understanding, "We all know you didn't mean to harm anyone. Don't blame yourself."
After lunch, the atmosphere gradually returned to calm.
Though Gu Yanran's behavior had left an indelible impression on everyone, they all tried not to let the incident affect their mood.
Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu stood up, ready to leave.
Pei Jingchuan's gaze fell gently on Jiang Yuzhu, his eyes full of concern, "Yuzhu, let's go home."
Jiang Yuzhu responded with a smile, "Okay."
Chen Ting and other friends also began to leave, their farewells echoing softly within the restaurant.
"What an unusual day," Chen Ting joked, trying to lighten the mood.
