The celebration among friends came to a halt because Hao Zhizhi suddenly left.
Yao Cheng didn't know what had happened, but he saw Hao Zhizhi crying as she returned to the private room, grabbed her bag, and left.
The friends also sensed something was wrong and suggested Yao Cheng should hurry after her to try to appease her.
Without a second thought, Yao Cheng turned to He Gu, who had just entered, and said, "Bro, help me settle the bill, I'll pay you back later."
He Gu: "..."
-
On the way back, He Gu and Jiang Yi hardly spoke.
Seeing the atmosphere grow increasingly tense, He Gu deliberately looked at Jiang Yi with feigned ease and asked, "Did you hear what was said just now?"
Jiang Yi wanted to say she hadn't heard, but figured He Gu wouldn't believe her anyway, so she nodded.
The grip He Gu had on the steering wheel clearly tightened; he was nervous.
